Academic Units Sample Clauses

The "Academic Units" clause defines the organizational divisions within an educational institution, such as departments, schools, or faculties, that are responsible for specific academic programs or disciplines. This clause typically outlines how these units are structured, their roles in curriculum development, and their authority over academic matters like course offerings or faculty appointments. By clearly delineating the responsibilities and boundaries of each academic unit, the clause ensures efficient governance and helps prevent overlap or confusion regarding academic oversight.

Academic Units. All units earned, with a grade of C or better, above the A.B. Degree, and those received within the A.B. considered graduate courses and so designated on the transcript of the awarding institution. Exception: Units that are clearly identified with church doctrine, and are clearly sectarian in nature, are not counted. All units are counted as semester units. (Quarter units are converted to semester units; i.e., one quarter unit is equal to 2/3 of a semester unit.) Column placement on the salary schedule is determined by the exact number of units completed and for which a transcript is on file. Unofficial transcripts are acceptable in order to meet the deadline for the September payroll, but must be followed by the official transcripts of the awarding institution. Advanced degrees: To be placed in Columns I, II, III, IV, or V, the transcript or diploma signifying the award of the degree must be on file in the Human Resources Office. A letter from the awarding institution certifying completion of all requirements for the degree is acceptable in order to meet the deadline for payroll.

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Prior Interests shall be automatically converted into 1,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. As of the date of such conversion, the Class B Ordinary Shares shall constitute all of the membership interests of the Company and, prior to the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares, Class A Preferred Shares and Class C Ordinary Share, shall have all of the rights and privileges of 100% of the membership interests in the Company afforded pursuant to this Agreement and applicable law. (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Board shall have full power and authority to schedule one or more closings to issue Class A Ordinary Shares and admit Members to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any Person that acquires Class A Ordinary Shares and is admitted as a Member of the Company after the date hereof, shall, in connection with such Member’s acquisition of such Class A Ordinary Shares, be deemed to pay to the Company such Member’s pro rata share of any amounts used to acquire the Artwork, including any true-up fees and any other amounts paid to the Company by the previously admitted Members. (d) The Class A Members may elect to convert their Class A Preferred Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Artwork, subject to the terms and conditions herein, for no additional consideration. Each Class A Preferred Shares will automatically convert to one Class A Ordinary Share upon any Transfer of such Class A Preferred Shares to an entity that is not an Affiliate of the Administrator.
