(c) A tenured appointment may be terminated only by retirement, resignation or discharge for cause or for reasons of financial exigency or redundancy. (d) A tenured appointment may also be terminated where, without fault on his or her part, the Faculty Member is prevented by cause or matter beyond his or her control from carrying out reasonable duties, including, without limitation, physical or mental illness or injury, except where and so long as the Faculty Member (or his or her legal representative) makes no claim against the University for salary or other remuneration.
