One-Year Appointments. A. FTNTT Faculty members in year one (1) or two (2) of employment with the University may expect to be notified by the responsible academic administrative officer as early as possible, but no later than May 1, of opportunities for additional appointment for the subsequent academic year or that an opportunity for additional appointment is not anticipated. Absent written notification prior to May 1 of an academic year that the appointment is not to be renewed for the next academic year, the appointment for the next academic year shall be regarded as renewed. Nothing in the foregoing, however, shall preclude the right of the University to extend an offer of additional appointment, or of the FTNTT Faculty member to accept such offer, later than that date should circumstances create such an opportunity subsequent to May 1.
