If, during the life of this Agreement, any of the provisions contained therein are held invalid by Federal or State laws or directives, it is agreed that such provisions shall thereupon be inoperative and the University and Union will meet for the purpose of negotiating interim changes made necessary by applicable directives. Such interim changes will remain in effect pending a final determination as to their validity. Any cancellation or modification of provisions so required shall not invalidate any other provisions of this Agreement. This action in no way precludes either party from seeking redress through proper channels.
