Non-Reappointment. 1. No non-tenured faculty member shall be denied reappointment for reasons that violate academic freedom or because of discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin or gender. 2. Any faculty member who claims that his/her reappointment has been denied for such reasons is entitled, if he/she wishes, to notify the Professional Standards Committee of such claim and to have such claim considered by that Committee, which shall first attempt to settle the matter by informal methods. If such resolution cannot be achieved, and if the Committee concludes that the claim may have merit, it shall afford the faculty member a hearing in the manner set forth in Article XVII.D., except that the burden of proof will rest on the faculty member.
