RE: Please move my grievances against Dr. Nelson to step two of the process, which is a formal review by the department.

The grievance as filed covered numerous areas beyond those addressed in your response. When one looks at the record of the actions initiated by Dr. Nelson I am appalled at his egregious behavior.

My grievance as originally filed covers the following topics and has not been amended or changed:

• Violation of the University Grievance policy (retaliation).
• Violation of Due Process in the hearing process (failure to provided documentation, requested by me prior to the hearing, that Dr. Nelson agreed to provide (in writing) so I could prepare a rebutal (defense) of the alleged accusations.
• Violations of the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment and Fourteen Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of American and similar protections afforded citizens of the state of Nebraska
• Violation of Privacy Policy in Executive Memorandum No 16 (by being a party to the unauthorized search of my computer on June 4, 1999).
• Inappropriate handling or release of confidential or other information not authorized for release including, but not limited to client information and personnel information improperly copied from my computer (by being a party to the unauthorized search of my computer on June 4, 1999).
• The failure of Dr. Nelson to recognizes that he and senior university officials signed the authorization for my reclassification to the position of Technology Transfer Coordinator and that it was approved and that is my title and I have the power and authority as included in the job description.
• Threats or acts that affect or are perceived to affect the safety, health, or well-being of another person (the use of intimidation, coercion and other deflamatory activities between January 18, 1999 and to the present).
• Failure to maintain satisfactory working relationships with students, the public, other employees, or supervisors (the use of intimidation, coercion and other deflamatory activities, including a failure to acknowledge the rights of inventors under the Board of Regents Bylaws regarding the University's need to accept an offer of invention within 6 months)..
• Behavior not in the best interest of the University
• Violations of other policies, procedures, memorandums that I am unaware of at this time

 

Sincerely,
 

Gerald D. Biby
