Common use of Credit for Prior Service Clause in Contracts

Credit for Prior Service. When credit for prior service is agreed upon, the terms 42 of hire will state the number of years of credit granted, the earliest date for tenure 43 consideration, and the required date for tenure consideration. Scholarship, research, creative 44 activity, and teaching completed by the bargaining unit faculty member during the period of 45 prior service will receive full consideration during the promotion and tenure process if the 3 research, and creative activity completed prior to arrival at the university will be of secondary 4 consideration during the promotion and tenure process. Should the bargaining unit faculty 5 member choose to use some, but not all of the credit for prior service, the focus of the review 6 of teaching, scholarship, research, and creative activity will adjust appropriately so that, for 7 example, four years of full-time appointment at the University would mean that at most two 8 years of prior service will receive full consideration.
