Lateral Transfers Between Departments/Programs. The Association and the College recognize that in rare circumstances, a full-time faculty member may wish to transfer from one department/program to another department/program in which there is a full-time faculty vacancy. If, upon consultation with the tenure-track faculty within the department who are serving on the search committee, the Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, the Xxxx, and the Chairperson of the department with the vacancy, agree that the faculty member who wishes to transfer into that position meets the qualifications for the vacant position, the College may forgo the normal search process and allow the faculty member to transfer into the vacant position. The faculty member who transfers will maintain their current tenure status, rank, and salary. If the Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, the Xxxx, and the Chairperson of the department with the vacancy wish to interview other candidates for the vacant position and do not decide to forego the normal search process, then the faculty member desiring a transfer may still apply for the vacant position through the normal full-time faculty search process. Any current faculty member hired through this process shall retain their tenure status, faculty rank, and salary.
