If the University is not able to lawfully employ or continue to employ a GA as a result of the GA’s immigration status for reasons outside of the GA’s reasonable control, the University agrees to meet with the Union and the GA to discuss potential re-employment into their prior position or another position if their previous position is unavailable. The University agrees to make reasonable efforts to re-employ the GA as soon as possible after that person obtains work authorization or immigration status that lawfully permits them to work as a GA. Such timing of re-employment shall depend on several academic factors, which are not grievable, including the academic calendar. The timing of re-employment may also depend on other factors such as the availability of lab space and research funding. Any determination made under this Article is not subject to arbitration under Article 25 - Grievance and Arbitration.
