Synopsis Grievant filed the instant grievance alleging retaliation, harassment, and discrimination. For relief, Grievant sought only money damages of one million dollars ($1,000,000). Respondent moved to dismiss the grievance alleging Grievant failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Grievant stated a claim upon which relief can be granted but he seeks a remedy wholly unavailable through the grievance process. The Grievance Board does not have the authority to award tort-like damages. Accordingly, the grievance is dismissed.
