Keith Fink, who was let go from his position as a part-time lecturer at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), is filing a grievance against the university for wrongfully terminating him.

Fink underwent UCLA’s Excellence Review process where in the 18th quarter of teaching, a panel of faculty members review student evaluations of the teacher as well as a designated faculty evaluation, and vote on whether the teacher can stay at UCLA.
