Appointments, Tenure & Evaluation

This policy has been replaced by:

• PROV-004, Employment of Academic General Faculty Members
• HRM-003, Employment of Administrative or Professional General Faculty Members

1. DEFINITIONS; APPLICATIONS OF GUIDELINES 

   1. These guidelines pertain to the termination of employment or the reduction of the contractual cycle of members of the general faculty due to financial stringency.  As used in these guidelines, a condition of “financial stringency” exists when funds from which the salaries of such individuals are paid cease to be available to the University for such purposes, as the result of the requirements of legislative or other mandate.

The exchange of faculty between the University and another institution, foreign or domestic, is beneficial for both faculty and students and is one of the University's goals. The usual arrangement is that each of the institutions involved is responsible for the salary of its own faculty member. The visitor to the University will have the title and perquisites of a visiting faculty member at the appropriate rank as recommended by the dean of the school.

Effective January 3, 2017, this policy was replaced by two separate policies:

• PROV-004, Employment of Academic General Faculty Members
• HRM-003, Employment of Administrative or Professional General Faculty Members
