Assignment Notification and Acceptance. Lecturers who receive an appointment and assignment for a given period shall be notified no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the start of the assignment if it is for the Fall Semester or Summer Session and no later than the Monday following the student registration week in November prior to the start of the Spring Semester. It is provided, however, that once the proposed schedule of courses has been submitted to the Registrar for an upcoming semester or Summer Session, a faculty member is free to contact his or her department chairperson, or xxxx or director, for information about tentative course assignments but information about such tentative scheduling shall not be deemed a contractual commitment to the faculty member. The forty-five (45) day requirement of prior notification shall be waived if:
i. A faculty member refuses an assignment and the department or CDE chooses to offer it to some other unit member.
ii. New and additional sections of that particular course become necessary.
iii. A faculty member provides less than forty-five (45) day notice of his or her inability to teach a course for which he or she previously indicated acceptance of assignment.
iv. The University has a need to appoint a faculty member to an assignment in a situation that was unanticipated. When a faculty member is offered an appointment and teaching assignment, he or she shall indicate acceptance of such offer by signing and returning the appointment letter prior to thirty (30) days before the start of the teaching assignment. Failure to return the offer within this deadline shall constitute a forfeiture of the offer, unless the university in its sole discretion extends the deadline. Except in the case of a personal or family medical emergency or catastrophic event, if an assigned faculty member withdraws from teaching one (1) or more courses less than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of a semester or the summer, he or she may be ineligible for consideration for a teaching assignment for the subsequent semester. The university is under no obligation to offer a teaching assignment to that faculty member in the subsequent semester. This decision shall be left to the discretion of the Chair and Xxxx.
