Appointments and Reappointments.
Section 1. The decision to appoint or reappoint a Salaried Lecturer or Instructor may be made only by the Xxxxxxx or an authorized designee of the Xxxxxxx (e.g., Xxxx of a particular School or College). Such appointment, reappointment, or non- reappointment decisions shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration provision, except as set forth in Sections 4, 5, and 8 of this Article. Salaried Lecturers and Instructors will generally receive initial appointments and reappointments as follows: Title Initial Appointment (years) Reappointment (years)
Section 2. The University may offer shorter reappointments than listed in Section 1 only for the following reasons:
a. Documented performance-related reasons;
b. Failure to follow University rules and/or policies and procedures;
c. The elimination or downsizing of a department or program or a reduction in the number of courses or sections offered regardless of reasons;
d. The hiring of a professorial rank faculty member that has the effect of reducing the need for a full-time Salaried Lecturer or Instructor’s services;
e. At the written request of the Salaried Lecturer or Instructor.
Section 3. If the Xxxx offers a shorter reappointment period than that listed in Section 1, then the Salaried Lecturer or Instructor will subsequently be eligible for reappointment according to Section 1. The Xxxx will provide the written rationale for any shorter reappointment period along with the letter of reappointment.
Section 4. A Salaried Lecturer or Instructor with at least two (2) years of service who is given a shorter reappointment than that listed in Section 1 due to performance-related reasons or who is not reappointed due to performance-related reasons may grieve such a decision using the procedure outlined in the University’s Faculty Handbook. A Salaried Lecturer or Instructor with fewer than two (2) years of service who is given a shorter reappointment than that listed in Section 1 due to performance-related reasons or who is not reappointed due to performance- related reasons may grieve such a decision up to Step 3 of the grievance procedure of this Agreement under the standard of whether the University acted arbitrarily and capriciously. Salaried Lecturers and Instructors who have worked for the University for eight (8) or more years shall be able to dispute and challenge their non-reappointment in a mutually agreed upon (i.e., by the Union and the Xxxxxxx or the Xxxxxxx’x specified designee) dispute resolut...
Appointments and Reappointments. (a) The Parties agree that it is appropriate that positive initiatives be taken to increase the proportion of designated group members among those holding academic appointments at Dalhousie University, particularly full-time and regular part-time appointments, and that procedures be adopted to monitor and report on progress toward this objective; therefore, the following policy is adopted at Dalhousie University. Where non-designated group member candidates who are eligible for appointment have qualifications and experience judged not to be substantially better suited for the appointment than those of a designated group member candidate, the designated group member candidate is to be selected. This policy does not apply in respect of women (not otherwise designated group members) in those departments, schools and other such units wherein the proportion of women Members already exceeds one-half.
