UConn will be smart enough not to let it get that far....especially if any rule(s) Ollie violated are trivial. According to Ollie's contract the law may be on UConn's side. But, the violations had better turn out to be significant. If they are not the public employee's union will eat UConn's lunch. UConn will wind up paying Ollie a lot of money while enduring an embarrassing tsunami of bad publicity.

UAC, that is not how Arbitration works. The process can vary slightly based on the Management/Union Contract, but is similar to this. A panel of arbitrators is submitted to both sides, then each side gets to strike an arbitrator, until there is agreement. If all names are struck off, another panel of names is requested, and the the alternating striking takes place again. I have been involved in many arbitrations, and never have ended up with a pro employee or management arbitrator, because you do your vetting and strike.
The arbitrators are from the American Arbitration Association, not the state.
