ADMINISTRATORS MOVING INTO FACULTY POSITONS Clause Samples
The "Administrators Moving Into Faculty Positions" clause outlines the process and conditions under which an individual currently serving in an administrative role may transition into a faculty position within the same institution. Typically, this clause specifies eligibility requirements, the procedure for applying or being appointed to a faculty role, and any implications for salary, tenure, or benefits. For example, it may address whether prior administrative service counts toward faculty tenure or how rank and compensation are determined upon transfer. The core function of this clause is to provide a clear and fair framework for such transitions, ensuring both institutional consistency and transparency for affected employees.
ADMINISTRATORS MOVING INTO FACULTY POSITONS. (a) Administrators shall have the right to teach at any time if needs exist and the University President agrees.

This review would not apply to administrators who have previously been qualified by a search committee. The Union shall receive a report on an annual basis identifying work that has been done under this article.
(b) Subject to the above clause, an administrator may transfer to a full-time faculty position in his/her field of expertise at any time if a vacancy exists.
