Synopsis Grievant was a tenured Associate Professor for Respondent, West Virginia University. Grievant was dismissed for insubordination after failing to improve on “unsatisfactory” ratings in the core areas of “research” and “teaching.” A tenured Associate Professor must achieve at least “satisfactory” ratings in these categories. Respondent proved that Grievant’s dismissal was justified. Accordingly, this grievance is DENIED.
