Working in any organization can present challenges for us all. GMUFA is dedicated as a professional organization to helping you work through any challenges you might face in its effort to create an ethical and collegial teaching and learning environment.

There may be circumstances during the course of your employment that, while falling short of the legal definition of a grievance, they still represent an issue that negatively affects you. GMUFA will assist you to help resolve the situation.

Types of Concerns

GMUFA may be able to assist you with:

•    the student appeals process
•    interpersonal issues with other co-workers (could be faculty, chairs, deans)

• if these involve another faculty member, you may wish to pursue a claim under the GMUFA Code of Professional Conduct

•    human rights complaints
•   negative student evaluations

Finding Solutions

Whatever your concerns, GMUFA  can work with you to resolve them.  If we are able to resolve your issues at an early stage, we can prevent many grievances before they occur.  Often, we work through the Grant MacEwan University Human Resources department, but we can also resolve issues directly with your chair or dean.
