Chapter IV: Faculty
TERMINATION OF FACULTY
- Termination for Budgetary Curtailment
If a Department or Center is forced to eliminate faculty
positions for reasons of budgetary curtailment, terminations
of non-tenured faculty will proceed in accordance with seniority
within rank in inverse order of seniority. The services of
non-tenured faculty members may also be terminated, in accordance
with seniority within rank in inverse order of seniority,
for reasons of budgetary curtailment of an institution-wide
nature. However, for special educational reasons which are
not discriminatory against a particular faculty member, the
Dean with the concurrence of the Board of Trustees, may continue
the services of a non-tenured faculty member whose position
would otherwise be abolished and instead abolish the position
of another non-tenured faculty member next most recently appointed
to the Department or Center. If such budgetary curtailment
is for services at an affiliated institution, the termination
of non-tenured faculty will proceed on a Department by Department
or Center by Center basis at that affiliate in a manner otherwise
consistent with the foregoing. Tenured faculty may only be
terminated for cause; they may not be terminated for budgetary
reasons.
- Termination for Cause
Any full-time, part-time or voluntary faculty member, whether
tenured or non-tenured, may be terminated for cause (see below,
Faculty Disciplinary Tribunal).
