Faculty Contracts Clause Samples
A Faculty Contracts clause defines the terms and conditions governing the employment relationship between an educational institution and its faculty members. This clause typically outlines key aspects such as appointment duration, compensation, duties, evaluation procedures, and grounds for renewal or termination. By clearly specifying the rights and obligations of both parties, the clause helps prevent misunderstandings and provides a framework for resolving disputes, ensuring a stable and transparent working environment.
