Declaration of Financial or Programmatic Exigency. In the event the Board determines that a bona fide financial and/or programmatic exigency exists which requires the termination of bargaining unit members prior to the end of a term appointment or those on continuing appointment, the Board shall notify the Union and negotiate with SUOAF-AFSCME the impact of any such exigency upon the bargaining unit to the full extent required by law. The negotiation process shall be completed within sixty (60) calendar days. During this period and in the event an institution is closed or merges with another, serious consideration will be given to the possible relocation of members on continuing appointment. After sixty (60) calendar days have elapsed and if no agreement has been reached, the Board may implement its last proposal.
