Common use of Extension of the Tenure Clock Clause in Contracts

Extension of the Tenure Clock. Under extenuating circumstances, a bargaining unit member can request of the Xxxxxxx or the Xxxxxxx’x designee that the tenure clock be extended. Requests for extension of the tenure clock should come at the time of the extenuating circumstances and will not be accepted after June 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the tenure decision will be made. A one-year extension of the tenure clock will be granted for qualifying protected family and medical leave that extends for twelve weeks or more. If a bargaining unit member receives approval for a tenure clock extension, reviewers will be informed of the expectation that the dossier is evaluated without prejudice, as if the candidate had been on probationary status for the standard five years.
