Time Limits for Grievances. If a time limit is not observed by the aggrieved faculty member, the grievance shall be considered void, except that at any step of the grievance procedure, the aggrieved faculty member and the University's representative, at that step of the grievance procedure may extend the time limit by mutual agreement in writing. If the University fails to respond to a grievance at any step of the grievance procedure within the specified time limits, the grievance shall automatically advance to the next step of the grievance procedure.
