Limited Appointment Status. Any Tenured or Continuing Contract Status faculty member with a minimum of ten (10) years of full-time service at the University may, by mutual agreement between the faculty member and the Board, be assigned not less than one- quarter (1/4) of the faculty member’s normal workload and be provided a corresponding proportion of the faculty member’s salary. The faculty member shall be required to establish a termination date when applying for limited appointment status. In exceptional circumstances not adequately addressed by reduced appointment status or Family Care Leave, a faculty member may be granted a limited appointment status with a defined date for return to full-time, regular status if approved by the PVPAA. The mutual agreement of the Board and the faculty member on limited appointment status is required to return to a full-time status or to a different fractional appointment. During the period a faculty member is on limited appointment status and to the extent allowable according to the University’s agreement with the carrier and law, the University will provide the same contribution/premium as it does for full-time faculty for medical, dental, and optical coverage. Life insurance, short-term disability, and long- term disability coverage shall be provided based on the faculty member’s limited appointment salary. Faculty members will receive as salary 15.64 percent of the amount that is the difference between the faculty members’ full- time base salary and the faculty members’ limited appointment salary. Faculty members who, under exceptional circumstances as specified above, are granted a limited appointment status with a defined date for return to full-time, regular status, shall be provided life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability based on the faculty member’s salary in effect immediately prior to the start of the limited appointment status.
