"Sole discretion" means the non-grievableGrievance: A grievance is a claim by an individual ASE, a group of ASEs, or the UAW, that the University has violated a specific provision of this agreement during the term of this agreement. Grievances are filed with the UCSC labor relations office. They must be filed within thirty calendar days. If the grievance is not resolved, it can be taken to arbitration. See Article 12 of the ASE contract and Article 11 of the GSR contract., non-arbitrableArbitration: Arbitration is a process of bringing a dispute before a independent third party. For UAW complaints, arbitration occurs after the grievance process (between UAW and the UC directly) is exhausted. Only UAW may bring complaints to arbitration—not the UC. authority of the University of California.
