Abolition of Position

.190       Termination of an appointment with continuous tenure, or of a probationary appointment before the end of its specified term, may follow elimination of a position because of discontinuance of a Program, Department, or School (See Section G. Termination of Programs).  If an appointment is terminated for this reason, the University will make every reasonable effort to transfer the affected individual to another suitable position. If the new position is academic, the transfer and the terms of the appointment are subject to the approval of the cognizant Department and/or School according to normal procedure (Section C. Procedures for Appointments and Promotions).  Failing such transfer, notice or severance salary in lieu of notice will be given according to the schedule outlined in B-3.023-028 in the case of a probationary appointee, or for one year in the case of a tenured appointee.  Should the position be reinstated within a period of two years, the previous incumbent, if tenured at the time of termination, will be offered reappointment. The Faculty member must accept reappointment within thirty days from the date of offer.

.191        The decision to terminate the services of a member of a Faculty because of abolition of the position held may be appealed as provided in Section E. Appeals from Adverse Decisions.
