6.F Non-reappointment of Tenure-track
Faculty
When there is a decision by a department, division, school, or college
not to recommend reappointment or tenure, the faculty member should
be notified of that decision in writing as soon as possible. Faculty
members should be offered the opportunity to discuss the decision at
their request. The notification is the responsibility of the administrative
head of the unit or department in which the decision is made.
Guidelines for giving notice of non-reappointment, as set forth in
SPG 201.88, are listed below. These
are minimum requirements; school or college procedures may provide for
earlier notice.
Regular instructional faculty members with one year
of continuous service or less shall be given notice of non-reappointment
at least three months before the scheduled expiration of that appointment.
Regular instructional faculty members with more than
one year but less than two years of continuous service shall be given
notice of non-reappointment by December 15 if the appointment expires
at the end of the following winter term. In cases of appointments
terminating at other times, notice will be given no later than five
months before the termination date.
Regular instructional faculty members whose years of
continuous service have extended beyond two years shall be given notice
of non-reappointment not later than September 15 of the fall term
of the last academic year of the appointment. If the appointment is
scheduled to terminate at some time other than the end of the winter
term, notice of non-reappointment shall be given no later than nine
months before the end of that appointment.
(Supplemental instructional faculty appointments are considered to be terminal, and
notice is not required; see Section 5.C.3, "Supplemental
Instructional Faculty.")
