      procedure:
          Paragraph 10.421
          The arbitrator shall be chosen from a permanent
           panel established by the parties.  The permanent
           panel shall consist of seven arbitrators and shall
           exist for the two-year period covered by this
           agreement.
          Paragraph 10.422
          All arbitrators on the panel shall be employed by a
           four-year college or university and shall not be a
           former or current employee of the Board (unless
           otherwise mutually agreed by the parties).  All
           arbitrators offered by the parties for inclusion on
           the panel shall be on the arbitrators lists of the
           American Arbitration Association and/or the Iowa

           If the panel is not completed through consensus,
           each party shall submit a list of eight (8) names
           with the qualifications specified in Paragraph
           10.422.  If a name appears on both lists, that
           person shall be a member of the panel.  The parties
           shall strike names from the list alternately until
           the panel has seven (7) remaining members.  The
           arbitrators on the panel shall be notified of their
           selection and asked if they will accept.  If any
           does not accept, the parties shall fill the vacancy
           through consensus or through the provisions of
           Paragraph 10.424. 
          Paragraph 10.424
          If, during the term of the panel, a vacancy should
           occur or the parties mutually agree to remove a
           member of the panel, each party shall submit three
           (3) names.  The parties shall alternately strike
           names until one remains, and such remaining person
           shall be a member of the panel.
          Paragraph 10.425
          When a grievance has been taken to arbitration, the
           parties shall, within 14 days, meet to select the
           arbitrator.  The parties shall strike alternately
           until one name remains.  The person who remains
           shall be the arbitrator.  The parties shall
           promptly notify the arbitrator of her/his
           selection.
     Subdivision 10.43  Hearing and Decision
     The arbitrator so selected shall confer with the
      President or designee and the United Faculty and hold
      hearings promptly and shall issue her/his decision not

      the close of the hearings or, if written briefs have not
      been waived, then from the date the final statements and
