Loss of Tenure. Appointment to tenure is effective until the professor is dismissed as defined per Articles 10 or 11 or until the professor otherwise relinquishes tenure in accordance with state law.
Loss of Tenure. 1. A Tenured Musician may lose tenure if, for two (2) consecutive seasons, he or she accepts and plays less than sixty percent (60%) of Concert Service Weeks offered over the aggregate of the immediately preceding two (2) seasons (unless the Musician has been granted a leave of absence, or in the case of excused absence, illness, injury or emergency). A Tenured Musician may not miss more than fifty percent (50%) of services in any one (1) season. If a Tenured Musician fails to accept and play the minimum number of Concert Service Weeks as described above, the Music Director shall review the situation with the Musician, the Personnel Manager, and the Chair of the Orchestra Committee to determine appropriate action, which may include dismissal with or without placement on the Hiring List, or loss of tenure. Before making a decision, the Music Director shall consider any extenuating circumstances presented by the Musician or the Musician’s representative(s).
2. Instrumentalists who are hired for National Philharmonic programs may only be terminated from such engagements for cause or for violation of Article VIII.E [Musicians’ Obligations].
Loss of Tenure. Tenured teachers must keep their Standard or Advanced Professional Certificate valid to retain a regular contract and to continue on tenure. Failure to renew a Standard or Advanced Professional Certificate necessitates the issuance of a Provisional Contract for Conditional or Resident Teacher Certificate Holders, and those teachers thereby lose their tenure status. Teachers will be required to reinstate and renew their certificate, thereby receiving a regular contract to regain tenure, with a new tenure date.
