Reassignment
A/P Faculty may have their duties reassigned at any time. Reassignment is at the discretion of the President and can involve removal of the administrative title or supervisory responsibilities or reassignment to another department. Neither notice (as defined below) nor action for cause is required to affect reassignment. The University’s responsibility under reassignment shall be to make available a substitute position or duties reasonably commensurate with the person’s education, experience or performance. Administrative reassignment normally has no effect on the current term of appointment.
Nonrenewal of Contract
Non-renewal of the employment of an A/P Faculty member may occur at the discretion of the President as s/he deems proper for the administration and operation of the University. Notice of such nonrenewal will typically be provided as set forth in the chart below, however, failure to provide an A/P Faculty member with the benefit of the full notice period will not invalidate the nonrenewal decision as long as the decision is made before the end of the contract term. In the event that an A/P Faculty member does not receive the benefit of the full notice period set forth below, the A/P Faculty member will be entitled to separation pay for the difference between the number of full weeks of notice provided and that to which s/he is entitled based on years of service at the University. The per week separation pay shall be calculated based on the A/P Faculty member’s annual salary multiplied by a factor of 1.20 to account for fringe benefits and divided by 52. For purposes of determining the amount of notice an A/P Faculty member actually receives, a week shall be deemed to begin on Monday and partial weeks shall not be counted.
