During the five (5) year period, such persons may revert to their continuing contract status if they are otherwise eligible in the event that they are not reappointed to their administrative position or if they opt not to accept such appointment. If they revert to their continuing contract status, they will be considered for assignments for which they are qualified in the same manner as all other continuing contract Faculty in their discipline. If no position exists, the Faculty member’s position could be eliminated pursuant to section 6 of this Article or Article 28, Reduction in Force.
