Annual and Continuing Contracts. Established permanent Faculty, Librarian, and Senior Academic Advisor positions filled as a result of a competitive hiring process shall be eligible for Continuing Contract. All initial full- time appointments shall be in a form approved by the State Commissioner of Education, and shall specify in writing the appointment date, expiration date, and salary and whether the appointment is or is not eligible for Continuing Contract. All initial full-time appointments shall be annual contracts, unless it is a non-continuing contract appointment. Upon hire, the Faculty member shall be on annual contract, on a year-to-year basis. Such annual contract shall not create the expectancy of employment beyond the term of the contract, since the College owes no further contractual obligation to the Faculty member at the expiration of an annual contract and the Board has no legal obligation to renew the contract of a Faculty member on annual contract. Non-renewal of the annual contract shall not entitle the Faculty member to a hearing or the reasons for non-renewal. Decisions by the College not to renew an annual contract cannot be challenged through the grievance or termination procedures provided by this Agreement or in any other forum.
