Description:

Former Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon discusses her involvement with the MSU Faculty Grievance Policy (FGP) and the Faculty Grievance Official (FGO) when she served as MSU Provost and later as MSU President. Simon talks about the origins and evolution of the FGP, her experiences with several FGOs and changes to the FGP which she instituted. Simon also talks about the tension in universities between teaching and research, which she says affects hiring, tenure, salaries, promotions, and administrative priorities. She comments on the pressures of balancing the needs of the university with the wishes of the MSU Board of Trustees and the burden of being responsible for decisions made at every level of operation. Simon is interviewed by Robert Banks, former MSU associate provost and associate vice president for Academic Human Resources and John Revitte, former MSU professor of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
