Deferral of Tenure Sample Clauses

Deferral of Tenure a. The decision that the faculty member is to undergo a further probationary period, commonly known as “deferral of tenure,” shall be understood as action to encourage the candidate's further progress toward tenure and not as a first step toward denial. b. Deferral of tenure automatically means renewal for the member involved. c. The maximum number of deferrals of tenure which shall be allowed any faculty member is two (2). However, it should not be construed that two (2) deferrals are the norm. The period of deferral in the first case shall not exceed two (2) years. The period of deferral in the second case shall not exceed one (1) year. In the event of a denial of tenure following two (2) previous deferrals, the faculty member concerned shall be subject to termination of employment upon the greater of one (1) year's notice or notice that termination of employment shall occur on June 30 of the following calendar year. d. A faculty member who has been granted deferral of tenure under Article 21.20 will normally be reconsidered for tenure, or possible further deferral if appropriate under Article 21.20 (c), by the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure in the final year of a two (2) year deferral or in the year of deferral in the case of a one (1) year deferral. A faculty member who does not wish to apply for tenure or further possible deferral at the specified time would not be required to apply to be reconsidered by the University Committee on Promotion and Tenure. Under such circumstances, the faculty member’s employment will be terminated effective the end of the current contract.
