In her Nov. 17 response, Thompson denied having had anything to do with Berkowitz's tenure review and stated that she had recused herself from the appeal.

Two days later, Berkowitz received a letter from Knowles, indicating that the dean had found evidence of "some misunderstanding" in Berkowitz's statements about his tenure review.

Berkowitz wrote back on Nov. 25, asserting that he was not in any way mistaken and that his claims were in no way misinformed.

On Dec. 2, Berkowitz notified Knowles of his intent to file a formal grievance, in accordance with phase 3 of the Guidelines.

The grievance was submitted Jan. 6 to Knowles, the chair ex officio of the Docket Committee.
