Article 9, Work Assignment/Work Agreement, in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the University and the GTFF details the General Duties and Responsibilities Statement (GDRS) that each hiring unit must prepare describing the conditions under which GTF appointments and reappointments are made, evaluations are performed, etc. The GDRS is not a job description. In a grievance situation or dispute, however, the hiring unit will be held to the policies and procedures outlined in its GDRS.

Pursuant to the current CBA (Article 9, Section 5), the Graduate School has developed this website for students, faculty and staff to easily access GDRS documents in an electronic format. The GDRS documents contained on this website are to be considered the master copy, and any electronic or non-electronic distribution of the GDRS must be made from this copy. The Graduate School also maintains out-of-date GDRS files.

At the time of hire, GTFs shall be provided with instructions on how to access the department's GDRS. For the creation of a new GDRS, hiring units should review those of similar hiring units or use our model GDRS.

2009-10 GDRS are currently being updated and posted on this website. GDRS that have already been approved are now available below.
