Common use of GRANT STATUS Clause in Contracts

GRANT STATUS. a. A faculty member whose position is funded greater than 50% by sources other than general fund or tuition shall be considered to be on “grant status.” However, if the majority of the funding for a position comes from individual tuition payments from students, the faculty member will not be designated “grant status” even if not included in the general fund. x. Xxxxx status faculty shall have all the rights and obligations of a bargaining unit member except those limitations expressly imposed by the terms of this Agreement. c. Faculty initially employed for grant status positions shall be subject to the normal faculty recruitment and selection processes. x. Xxxxx status faculty shall be given terminal employment contracts for not less than one (1) year or for the duration of the grant, whichever is less. x. Xxxxx status faculty whose performance is satisfactory shall be offered reemployment in the same position; provided those job expectations have not changed, if the grant program in which the faculty member was employed is renewed for the ensuing year. f. A faculty member in “grant status” is not eligible to attain “regular status.” However, the faculty member who has attained regular status prior to accepting an assignment designated as “grant status” shall retain his/her regular status. g. Time spent in grant status shall apply towards the attainment of regular status if the faculty member is subsequently employed, without interruption, in a non-grant status position in the bargaining unit and when one of the following conditions is met: i. The faculty member is hired to continue working in the same discipline and with the same job duties. All time spent in the grant status position shall apply towards attainment of regular status. ii. The grant status faculty member with two (2) or more years of continuous bargaining unit service, hired for a general fund position, must satisfactorily serve an additional probationary period for three (3) academic terms before qualifying for regular status. The faculty member will have the option within the first twelve months of the probationary period to return to the prior grant status position as a grant status faculty member, provided the position still exists. h. For employment status purposes, it is understood that a self-support position funded by monies greater than 50% from outside sources/agencies (not for tuition reimbursement) is designated as grant status. A self-support position funded by monies less than or equal to 50% from outside sources/agencies is designated as general funded.
