If a faculty member is a temporary or term faculty member and is offered an appointment for the coming academic year, he/she must notify the College of his/her intentions to accept or reject the offer not later than April 1 or within fourteen (14) days of receiving the offer, whichever is later. A tenured faculty member planning to resign shall notify the College at the earliest possible date, preferably not later than May 31. 5.3 Approval Procedure: Tenure will be granted upon recommendation of the President of the College with specific Board approval required in each individual case.
