AMENDMENTS FOR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
(Both Motions were approved by the 教师 Senate by unanimous consent on April 22, 2022)
(Motions approve by the Board of Trustees in June, 2022)
动作1:
To correct for oversights in the wording of the 政策 和 Procedures Relating to 教师 Appointment, 促销活动, 和 任期内 (APT), it is moved that the following changes (as marked by underlining) be made to the APT:
5.5.3
F. Under special circumstances (e.g., when a faculty member is on an approved leave of absence or family leave), the time allotted for the leave need not count as part of the tenure probationary period, depending on specific arrangements with the Dean 和 approved by the Provost. Any change is agreed on in consultation with the faculty member.
5.5.4.
E. Under special circumstances 和 at the discretion of the Board of Trustees, a tenure decision may be delayed 和 a faculty member may be continued in rank without tenure for one or two additional years beyond the final year of the agreed‑upon probationary period. Any change is agreed on in consultation with the faculty member.
动作2:
Because the provisions in Sections 5.5.3.F和5.5.4.E in the APT apply to tenure-line faculty but parallel provisions are not provided for faculty members in the 教学 和 Professional Track, it is moved that the following Sections be added to the APT
