MODIFICATION OF FACULTY DUTIES Clause Samples

The "Modification of Faculty Duties" clause defines the process and conditions under which a faculty member's assigned responsibilities may be changed. Typically, this clause outlines who has the authority to alter teaching loads, research obligations, or service assignments, and may specify procedures such as advance notice or consultation with the faculty member. Its core function is to provide flexibility for the institution to adjust faculty roles in response to changing needs, while also ensuring that such changes are managed transparently and fairly.
MODIFICATION OF FACULTY DUTIES. 1. FMD is intended to assist faculty experiencing major life transitions by providing a release from teaching or other appropriate duties for up to one semester without a reduction in pay and without an expectation of enhancement of other duties. Modifications may include a release from a portion of or all teaching duties for all or part of the semester and/or an adjustment to the faculty member’s service and/or scholarly development expectations. 2. If the modification of duties takes the form of a complete or partial release from teaching, the modification shall, when possible, be arranged to coincide with the semester calendar (or appropriate teaching module in effect in the faculty member’s unit) to ensure classroom continuity and to minimize disruptions for students as much as possible. 3. If a foreseeable event such as the birth or adoption of a child or a major surgery is expected to occur during the last six weeks of the semester, the faculty member may request modified duties for either the semester during which the event occurs or the following semester. 4. The period of modified duties must begin within twelve months of the triggering event.

MODIFICATION OF FACULTY DUTIES. ‌ Faculty Modified Duty is based on the current, common practice of faculty duty modification as applied to teaching, scholarly activity or service. That practice and the FMD option are derived from the authority of the Unit ▇▇▇▇ (CBA 6.210; 6.220) to fairly assign (CBA 2.800) teaching and other duties consistent with the provisions of the individual employee contract. The FMD option shall allow eligible faculty up to one semester of modified duties in any academic year whereby elimination or reduction of any duty in exchange for enhancement of another duty constitutes an FMD accommodation. University HRS shall, on behalf of the eligible faculty member, arrange the terms of an FMD accommodation in consultation with the department Chair and ▇▇▇▇. The faculty member has the right to UFA counsel and representation throughout the entire FMD process. Consistent with all other provisions of the CBA, no faculty shall experience reprisal for exercising the FMD option. The Administration shall be responsible for funding the faculty modified duties policy and each accommodation is subject to the review and final approval of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Where and when possible, the funding will be applied so that FMD in any unit: 1. results in hiring of faculty to replace necessary teaching responsibilities; 2. does not result in cancellation of required classes; 3. does not result in an increased teaching load for any unit faculty, unless by volition; 4. allows an option for tenure clock extension (CBA 9.400 or 9.340); 5. allows an option for exemption or deferral from faculty evaluation (CBA 10.340);

  • Resolution of Conflicts of Interest; Standards of Conduct and Modification of Duties (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Group Member Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner, on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, of any Group Member Agreement, of any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) approved by the vote of a majority of the Common Units (excluding Common Units owned by the General Partner and its Affiliates), (iii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iv) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. If Special Approval is not sought and the Board of Directors of the General Partner determines that the resolution or course of action taken with respect to a conflict of interest satisfies either of the standards set forth in clauses (iii) or (iv) above, then it shall be presumed that, in making its decision, the Board of Directors of the General Partner acted in good faith, and in any proceeding brought by any Limited Partner or by or on behalf of such Limited Partner or any other Limited Partner or the Partnership challenging such approval, the Person bringing or prosecuting such proceeding shall have the burden of overcoming such presumption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any duty otherwise existing at law or equity, the existence of the conflicts of interest described in the Registration Statement are hereby approved by all Partners and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. (b) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership as opposed to in its individual capacity, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then, unless another express standard is provided for in this Agreement, the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall make such determination or take or decline to take such other action in good faith and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. In order for a determination or other action to be in “good faith” for purposes of this Agreement, the Person or Persons making such determination or taking or declining to take such other action must believe that the determination or other action is in the best interests of the Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires. (c) Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any fiduciary duty or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not be required to act in good faith or pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any Group Member Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Delaware Act or any other law, rule or regulation or at equity. By way of illustration and not of limitation, whenever the phrase, “at the option of the General Partner,” or some variation of that phrase, is used in this Agreement, it indicates that the General Partner is acting in its individual capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, whenever the General Partner votes or transfers its Partnership Interests, or refrains from voting or transferring its Partnership Interests, it shall be acting in its individual capacity. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be at its option. (e) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership or any Limited Partner and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict, eliminate or otherwise modify the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner or such other Indemnitee. (f) The Unitholders hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.9.

Such modifications may only be made if they are consistent with the REMIC Provisions, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. Prior to the issuance of any modification or amendment, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee such Opinion of Counsel and an Officer's Certificate setting forth (i) the provision that is to be modified or amended, (ii) the modification or amendment that the Master Servicer desires to issue and (iii) the reason or reasons for such proposed amendment or modification. (b) The Trustee shall consent to any amendment or supplement to a Servicing Agreement proposed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(a), which consent and amendment shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder if it is (i) for the purpose of curing any mistake or ambiguity or to further effect or protect the rights of the Certificateholders or (ii) for any other purpose, provided such amendment or supplement for such other purpose cannot reasonably be expected to adversely affect Certificateholders. The lack of reasonable expectation of an adverse effect on Certificateholders may be established through the delivery to the Trustee of (i) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect or (ii) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in reduction of the current rating assigned by that Rating Agency to the Certificates. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, the Trustee may, in its discretion, decline to enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment if its own rights, duties or immunities shall be adversely affected.

(ii) The Master Servicer may direct WFHM to enter into an amendment to the WFHM Servicing Agreement for the purposes described in Sections 3.07(c)(i)(B) and 10.01(b)(iii).
