Common use of Automatic Multi-Year Appointment Clause in Contracts

Automatic Multi-Year Appointment. When a CAI has taught a course seven or more times within the last nine contract years in which the course was offered and the CAI has a Right of First Refusal for the course, the CAI shall be offered a five-year Automatic MYA for that course. If, in any subsequent assessment year in which the course is offered to the CAI, the CAI fails for reasons other than illness, maternity leave under (Article 25) or parental leave under (Article 26) to teach it at least once (unless the CAI has chosen to take a “year off” as described in the next sentence), this Automatic MYA shall expire. A CAI may, once in every five-year term of the Automatic MYA, take one assessment year off from teaching a course for any reason without having his/her Automatic MYA expire. This option to take one assessment year off does not accrue, nor are partial years relevant. By exercising this option, the CAI will not have his/her automatic MYA expire by reason of not teaching a course when offered. The CAI is to notify the Department (or non-Departmentalized Faculty) offering the course for which he/she has an Automatic MYA as soon as reasonably possible of the decision to use this option to take an assessment year off from teaching a course, but no later than when the CAI declines an offer to teach the course. The ROFR for the course is not affected by the expiry of an Automatic MYA under this provision. If a CAI loses an Automatic MYA under the Agreement, the course count restarts at 0 from when the MYA was lost. At the end of the five-year term the Automatic MYA shall be renewed for further five-year terms on application by the Automatic MYA holder unless the Assessment Committee finds the CAI’s performance to have become unsatisfactory, or upon the next satisfactory ROFR assessment, whichever occurs first. The reassessment procedure and standards to maintain an Automatic MYA and a ROFR are the same under Article 19A. When a CAI accepts an Automatic MYA, the Automatic MYA and ROFR become linked for assessment purposes. There will be no Automatic MYA reassessment separate from a ROFR assessment. The Automatic MYA will be reassessed at the same time and schedule as the ROFR reassessment.
