Continuing Appointments. An academic librarian may be given a continuing appointment independent of rank or classification. The decision concerning a continuing appointment shall be made in the best interests of the University and the academic librarian, and shall reflect the written annual reviews referred to in s. 17.A.4.2 above. A continuing appointment may be terminated only as provided in this Agreement.
Continuing Appointments. (a) A full-time faculty member shall not be converted involuntarily to part-time without mutual agreement among the member, the Union and the College. A full-time faculty member assigned to a continuing part-time contract will maintain accumulated seniority and shall continue to accrue seniority on a prorated basis.
(b) In the event that a full-time faculty member who has voluntarily converted to continuing part-time wishes to revert to a full-time appointment he/she can only do so if there is a full-time vacancy in the area of his/her expertise or if there was an agreement made specifying the years of part-time employment prior to the member becoming part-time.
Continuing Appointments. (a) A Faculty Member who has successfully completed a probationary appointment shall automatically receive a continuing appointment at the same or higher percentage of employment as on the probationary contract.
(b) A full-time Faculty Member may be assigned to a continuing part-time contract without loss of accumulated seniority and shall continue to accumulate seniority on a prorated basis.
(c) A Faculty Member with a continuing part-time appointment shall be granted first refusal for increased employment in the same department, when, in the judgment of the Xxxx, in consultation with faculty and the Chair, he/she is fully qualified to perform the duties comprising the additional workload. Should more than one (1) continuing part-time Faculty Member be qualified for the increased employment, the work will be assigned to the Faculty Member judged to be best qualified for the duties involved in the additional workload.
(d) Transition from Term Appointments to Probationary or Continuing Appointments.
(i) He/she must have been appointed to a term position through the normal school selection procedures in effect at the time of his/her appointment.

Continuing Appointments. Continuing appointment is defined as appointment with no end date, unless just cause for termination exists or the Xxxx determines that the work performed by the individual will not be performed in the college/school by a non-tenure- track faculty member.
a. Reappointments before continuing appointment is achieved shall be at the discretion of the Xxxx (upon recommendation of the Department Chair), who shall consider such factors as performance, need for the individual’s services, availability of funding, and ongoing maintenance of licensure/certification (when required by respective accrediting and governance bodies). Non-reappointment during this same time period shall not be grievable. Any reappointment made after the faculty member reaches the service mark specified in 21.9.2.b shall be a continuing appointment as specified in this section, except where 21.9.1.g applies.
b. Upon completion of three years of continuous full-time-equivalent service at 50% time or more, with no more than two (2) semesters at less than half time and no more than one semester at zero time, NTT faculty shall become eligible for reappointment to continuing appointments with no termination date. Full-time non-tenure-track faculty members on one-semester appointments, for example, shall be deemed to have met the three-year service threshold after six semesters of appointments. Periods of either authorized leave or professional development leave (as described in 21.13.4) shall not count as breaks in FTE service towards continuing appointment but shall not accrue FTE service towards continuing appointment. Upon recommendation by the Department Chair, and after a xxxx’x review based on such factors as performance, need for the individual’s services, availability of funding, and ongoing maintenance of licensure/certification (when required by respective accrediting and governance bodies), the xxxx determines whether the non-tenure-track faculty member should be offered a continuing appointment. In the case of a positive decision, the administration will extend an offer of continuing appointment at 50% or more time. In the case of a negative decision, the xxxx will give the non-tenure-track faculty member written notice of non-reappointment in accordance with the chart in 21.9.1. The terms of Article 21.9.2 shall not apply to spousal appointments that are effective on or after September 1, 2009, to whom this provision shall apply after six rather than three years of continuous full-...

Applicants for a continuing appointment shall prepare a dossier documenting their academic and professional records in terms of the qualifications by rank outlined in Article 8 and in Appendices C or D. An applicant’s dossier may, at the applicant’s discretion, include performance evaluations and student evaluations. The dossier shall be submitted to the applicant’s Department no later than the 20th month of the probationary period (and normally no earlier than the 19th month). By the twenty-fourth (24th) month, the Department shall review the member using just and equitable procedures and shall recommend to the Xxxx/Director whether the appointment should continue. As per Article 18 (item 5), a decision to terminate the appointment can be made on expiration of the probationary period of the appointment following a recommendation of the Department to that effect. If this negative recommendation is made after the twenty-first (21st) month of the probationary period, the member shall receive three (3) months’ notice or pay in lieu of notice.
(b) In exceptional circumstances (which may include maternity, illness or special leave during the probationary period, as well as a Department’s belief that it has insufficient data to review the member adequately at the conclusion of a twenty- four (24) month period), the probationary period may be extended by up to twelve
