6.J Geographic Limitation of Tenure

All of the foregoing principles, policies and procedures relating to tenure are applicable in all schools, colleges, and departments on all campuses. If an instructional staff member’s appointment is at a specific geographically localized campus at the time tenure is acquired, the tenure shall be specific to that campus. If an instructional staff member’s appointment is in a specific department at the time tenure is acquired, tenure shall be specific to that department. Any subsequent changes affecting the departmental or geographic location of the instructional staff member’s tenure appointment must be agreed to in writing by the University and the tenured instructional staff member. The Regents’ Communication establishing the appointment delineates the title and location of tenure (i.e., department, unit, and campus) that correspond to that appointment.

In any case in which the position of the instructional staff member with tenure has been eliminated or has been removed from the jurisdiction of the University, the University will make every reasonable effort to place the faculty member in a comparable position elsewhere in the University or in another institution. See SPG 601.02 and Section 5.J, “Status of Appointments When Academic Programs are Discontinued.”
