Determining Priority for Appointment Clause Samples

Determining Priority for Appointment. If more than one applicant has a right of first refusal in relation to the same course, priority shall be given to the applicant who has the most priority points in the department. In the case of a non‐departmentalized college, priority shall be given to the applicant who has the most priority points in the college. Where possible, location and time preferences will be respected. If two or more applicants have accumulated the same number of priority points, priority will be given to the applicant who has accumulated the most priority points in the department or non‐departmentalized college within the past four years. Credit units for determining priority will include courses that are currently being taught. Updated priority lists will be made available to departments in the months of August, October, and February. The priority list for a department or non‐departmentalized college will show the accumulated priority points for each sessional lecturer who has the right of first refusal for a course offered by that department or non‐departmentalized college. Each priority point represents six credit units taught for the department or non‐departmentalized college or the equivalent amount of teaching as an applied music instructor. (See Article 16.04) It does not include courses taught for another department or non‐departmentalized college.
