CA AB2114

Requires higher education employers (UC Regents, Hastings College of the Law Board, and CSU Trustees) to provide a challenge procedure for medical and dental interns, residents, and postgraduate medical trainees to contest terminations or disciplinary actions

Employees must first exhaust available administrative or academic grievance processes before filing a challenge under this section

Challenges are heard by a three-member panel consisting of a designee of the exclusive representative, a program representative, and an impartial hearing officer or arbitrator who can provide full remedy for termination or discipline without just cause

Does not apply to terminations or discipline based on academic or clinical matters related to acquiring core competencies and developing clinical skills necessary for licensure, practice, or board certification

Allows existing memoranda of understanding between employers and employee representatives to control over these requirements if they already provide comparable challenge procedures
