Common use of Right to Data Clause in Contracts

Right to Data. 6.§1 After written request by the Chapter, the University shall make available any information not exempted by law that is necessary for the Chapter to meet its collective bargaining respon- sibilities or to administer this Agreement. Normally, such information shall be made available within ten (10) days of the Chapter's request; if such information is not readily available within said ten (10) days, Western shall so notify the Chapter, in writing, and shall make the requested information available as soon as reasonably possible. The University shall not be required to compile information in any form different from that available when the request is made. 6.§2 The Board or Administration shall provide the Chapter with a copy of the minutes of the official meetings of the Board of Trustees. A designee of the Chapter shall have an opportunity at reasonable times to view Board of Trustees' documents in support of the Board's minutes on file in the secretary's office. The Board or Administration shall provide the Chapter with a copy of the Annual Budget Request as approved by the Board of Trustees for submission to the State of Michigan and a copy of the Annual Audited Financial Report. 6.§3 The Administration, in lieu of computer tapes, shall provide the Chapter with a copy of the "Monthly Financial Statement," subject to the following two (2) restrictions: 6.§3.1 the "statements" will be made available to the Chapter at the same time the reports are issued to the various cost centers; and 6.§3.2 in order to obviate any misunderstandings or misinterpretation of the records to be reviewed, the Administration expects the WMU-AAUP Executive Committee to discuss its findings with the appropriate University official, and the Executive Committee expects the Administration to answer questions it may have about its findings, prior to the release of a report of any finding. 6.§4 Settlement of this request for information in no way prohibits the Chapter from asking to see additional information at some future date. The Chapter does not waive its right to ask to see additional information, and the University does not recognize the Chapter's right to see any additional information. 6.§5 The Administration shall, no later than the 25th day of each month during the life of this Agreement and any extension thereof, notify the Chapter of all new unit faculty members, all withdrawals from the unit, and all changes of status of unit personnel. 6.§6 The Administration shall provide to the Chapter, at the time of transmission to the Board of Trustees for action, a copy of each recommendation for any program change which affects the work of bargaining unit members.
