Furlough of Regular Faculty. (1) Upon ratification of this agreement, the Deans shall randomly divide the regular faculty into six (6) involuntary furlough groups with appropriate balance to ensure that each group represents, as much as possible, the diversities of experience and expertise of the regular faculty as a whole. Newly-hired regular faculty members shall be distributed among the groups at the beginning of the first quarter of their appointment in a manner appropriate to the balance of the groups.
(2) In the event that a financial exigency is not adequately addressed by the elimination of all adjunct and postponement of all post-retirement contracts, the furlough groups described in Paragraph (1) above will be randomly ranked one (1) through six (6). Each group’s rank will determine the quarter over the next six (6) quarters during which faculty members in the group are subject to furlough.
(3) During a quarter in which a group is subject to furlough, faculty members within the group will have their appointment reduced by no more than half. Furloughed faculty members will be placed on partial involuntary leave with full benefits and shall continue to accumulate experience years.
(4) In the event that the College remains in a condition of financial exigency following at least four (4) consecutive quarters of rolling furloughs (excluding xxxxxxx), and the College concludes that needed reductions will continue for longer than six (6) total quarters, the College may choose to end rolling furloughs and proceed with further reductions in force as described in Section 23.3.4. The College will notify UFE of its intention to end furloughs and will allow UFE thirty (30) calendar days to provide input to the College.
