Former Michigan State University Vice Presidents for Legal Affairs and General Counsels, Robert Noto and Kristine Zayko, talk about their roles in the administration of the Faculty Grievance Policy (FGP). Noto says that as General Counsel he worked with the MSU Provost to write the university's responses to faculty grievances and explains the process of crafting such a response and the concern that the MSU Provost's always had for treating faculty fairly. Zayko says that she primarily provided advice to MSU department chairs and deans and coached them through the grievance process and rarely appeared at a grievance hearing herself. They both talk about changes made to the FGP through the years and how those changes were carried out. Zayko and Noto are interviewed by Robert Banks, former MSU associate provost and associate vice president for Academic Human Resources and John Revitte, MSU professor emeritus of Labor Studies.
