Faculty Tenure Policy Sample Clauses

A Faculty Tenure Policy establishes the rules and criteria under which academic staff may be granted tenure at an educational institution. Typically, it outlines the evaluation process, including performance reviews, teaching effectiveness, research contributions, and service to the institution, as well as the timeline and procedures for applying for tenure. The core function of this policy is to provide job security and academic freedom for faculty members while ensuring that only those who meet established standards are granted permanent positions, thereby balancing institutional quality with individual rights.
Faculty Tenure Policy. 5.1 Tenure Definition: Tenure is hereby defined as the continued contractual appointment to a full-time non-grant funded faculty position of employment at Sauk Valley Community College. Tenure, as defined in this Agreement, applies to all full-time non-grant funded faculty members who are eligible for membership in the bargaining unit. Tenure is not related to a specific position; however, any faculty member having the status of tenure whose position is changed must be classified and paid for the new position at not less than the highest level of classification commensurate with his/her academic credentials and experience. 5.2 Tenure Schedule: Faculty members shall initially be appointed for no longer than one (1) year. Such appointments must be reviewed annually, and eligibility for tenure will be based upon completion of three (3) consecutive years of full-time professional service at Sauk Valley Community College. Service started prior to January 1 will count as a full year. Service started subsequent to January 1 will not count toward tenure. Tenure is effective with the beginning of the academic year following approval by the Board. Prior to tenure, if the faculty member is not to be re-employed at the end of his/her contract, he/she shall be given, not later than March 15 of the contract year, written notice from the President of the Board’s decision not to re-employ him/her. If a faculty member is a temporary or term faculty member and is offered an appointment for the coming academic year, he/she must notify the College of his/her intentions to accept or reject the offer not later than April 1 or within fourteen (14) days of receiving the offer, whichever is later. A tenured faculty member planning to resign shall notify the College at the earliest possible date, preferably not later than May 31. 5.3 Approval Procedure: Tenure will be granted upon recommendation of the President of the College with specific Board approval required in each individual case. One additional probationary year may be approved by the President upon recommendation of the Academic Vice President. In such a case, the President shall notify the Board and the individual concerned in writing of the specific reasons for the additional year of probation as well as the requirements to be fulfilled during that year. Faculty members will have the opportunity to provide input regarding tenure recommendations through the process specified in the faculty handbook.
