Fixed length appointments beyond three (3) years shall be with mutual agreement of the parties. A unit member who holds a fixed length appointment shall not be eligible for tenure or continuing contract status. A fixed length appointment will be given to any person who is not eligible for appointment in any of the preceding categories, who is appointed in a unit title on a full time basis for a single period of more than six (6) consecutive months, or in the case of a renewal of a prior full time appointment in a unit title at the same campus of less than six (6) months, where the total period of continuous full-time service in the unit title will exceed six (6) months. Fixed length appointments will not be utilized to circumvent those provisions of Article 9 of this Agreement pertaining to consideration for tenure or continuing contract.
