- Michigan State University Professor Emeritus E. James Potchen, M.D. amd former chair of the MSU Radiology Department, talks about representing the university administration in the faculty grievance process.

Potchen also talks about why MSU created the faculty grievance process, attempts to unionize MSU faculty, the attitude of MSU President Peter McPherson toward MSU faculty having a voice, the move of the medical school to Grand Rapids, the changes MSU President Cecil Mackey made at MSU, his own role in the development of medical programs at MSU and his career as a professor and administrator at the university. Potchen is interviewed by retired MSU Professor of Labor Studies and former Faculty Grievance Officer John Revitte.
