Preliminary Considerations Clause Samples

Preliminary Considerations i. Before instituting a RIF due to an immediate financial crisis, the College will make a reasonable effort to reduce non-salary expenditures, but such effort must seek balance between fiscal realities, and must maintain, to the extent possible, the instructional mission of the College. ii. Before a RIF due to an immediate financial crisis involving the faculty bargaining unit shall occur, the President and/or their representatives shall meet at least twice with the Faculty Forum Executive Committee or its representatives and 1) present the College’s current general fund revenue and expenditure projection and any anticipated short fall in the current and future year(s), and 2) give reasonable consideration to other means of reducing the budget and increasing revenues. These may include, but are not limited to, retirement incentives, leave without pay, shared or reduced positions, salary freeze or reduction and delayed capital expenditures. iii. Prior to implementing any RIF, the President shall: 1) provide the Faculty Forum Executive Committee with advance notice of the tentative RIF plan along with the factors the President considered in reaching that decision; 2) give the Faculty Forum Executive Committee a reasonable period of time within which to provide input regarding the plan; and 3) give reasonable consideration to the Faculty Forum’s input.

Preliminary Considerations. The variety and complexity of tasks performed by institutions of higher education produce an inescapable interdependence among the institutions' component parts namely, the Governing Board, Administration, Faculty and Students. The relationship calls for adequate communication among these components, and full opportunity for appropriate joint planning. The variety of approaches may be wide. Therefore, at least two general conclusions regarding joint effort seem clearly warranted: (a) important areas of action involve at one time or another the initiating capacity and decision-making participation of all the institutional components, and (b) differences in the weight of each voice should be determined by the particular matter at hand. In recognition of the College's commitment to shared governance, it is acknowledged that the academic governance body is the Camden County College Faculty Assembly. The most current Camden County College Faculty Assembly Constitution and Bylaws is recognized as being the guiding document for the Camden County College Faculty Assembly.

Preliminary Considerations. The process of evaluating the societal impact of a cyber-risk event comprises a certain number of steps:  Step 1: Identification of qualitative criteria to evaluate the societal impact of cyber risk events, and organize them in categories.  Step 2: Provide the weights to the criteria and the categories. This is necessary because not all the criteria have the same importance.

Preliminary Considerations. This section describes the services, characteristics and technical requirements that make up the object of the contract, the list below not being an exhaustive list of the characteristics of the contracted services, but rather the general lines required by the IOC to obtain the expected results. The aforementioned requirements must be understood as minimum requirements. Tenderers may extend and improve them in their bids, which will be considered positively when assessing the offer. Proposals that offer features below these minimum requirements will not be considered in the current award procedure. The awarded contractor shall provide the knowledge, methodologies, and utilize the necessary tools to ensure the optimal outcome of the project. The awarded contractor undertakes to maintain confidentiality and ensure that their personnel employed in the execution of the contract also maintain confidentiality regarding all information of the Organization that comes to their knowledge during the course of the work. They shall not use this information for themselves or for any other person or entity.

Preliminary Considerations. Master’s theses are assessed comprehensively and assigned a single mark. In the case of type A, B and D theses, assessment takes place as provided in these regulations. Type C theses are assessed in accordance with the regulations of the host university for the mobility period. In the case of type C theses, the assessment of the university where the student enrolled for and completed the master’s thesis will be accepted. The certificate of marks issued by that university must include the number of ECTS credits the thesis carries and the mark achieved. If the assessment of the master’s thesis includes information on cross-disciplinary competencies, this should also be recorded in the academic record. Master’s theses of this type must carry the number of ECTS credits stipulated in the specific regulations governing the master’s degree. The mark for master’s thesis credits is adapted to a scale of 0 to 10 based on the mark certified by the university where the master’s thesis was completed. In exceptional cases, when the original mark is not numerical and additional information from the university that awarded it is not available, the master’s degree’s academic committee may require that the student concerned defend the thesis at the FIB. The examination committee appointed will assess the thesis and award a final mark.

Preliminary Considerations. There are a few preliminary considerations for both parties when entering a trademark license. Licensing is one of the most important ways to monetize a trademark registration or pending application, whether on an exclusive basis with one licensee, or a non-exclusive basis with multiple licensees. Licensing can enable a trademark owner to broaden its distribution network, and to promote and commercialize its brands. Depending on the parties' motivations for entering a trademark license, the agreement will need to establish clear parameters in relation to a number of factors including: • The licensed territory (for example, national, regional, multi-regional, and so on). See Identifying the Territory.

Preliminary Considerations. Before proceeding to consider matters relating to the agreements themselves, some preliminary matters should be considered, as they will 1. Mining Agreements Institute (1979) Mining Agreements II Institute (1981) The Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Law Building, Univer- sity of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, U.S.A. have to be considered before an agreement can be entered into. Some of these are obvious but others may trap the unwary. It is not intended to discuss these matters but merely to mention them. Some matters which should be considered are: (a) What is the nature of the mining property? In most Canadian jurisdic• tions, an unpatented mining claim is no more than a licence granted by the Crown to enter upon the described lands for the purpose of exploring the same. The licence is granted on a year-by-year basis and certain requirements must be met for the licence to be renewed. In addition, in some jurisdictions, a mining claim can be renewed for only a maximum number of years and upon that maximum be• ing reached, the claim must be discarded or taken to the next higher of title (usually a mining lease). Freehold property or leases (b) Does the disposing party own the property? With mining claims, usually the Mining Recorder's record is definitive and cannot be ques• tioned. In most jurisdictions, the Mining Recorder will supply for a nominal charge a certified copy of the record relating to the claim. In some jurisdictions, the governing legislation has gone so far as to provide specifically that the acquiror may deal with the recorded owner and the recorded owner is deemed to be the actual owner. 2 Prudence would, however, require that every known interest holder or alleged interest holder be included as a party to an acquisition agreement. With other forms of property, it is prudent, although not often done, to carry out a full title search so that the acquiror knows what he is acquiring and if there are any "clouds" on the title. (c) Is the disposing party to have an interest only in his property or is his interest to extend to any other property interests acquired by the acquiror within a defined area? If an area of influence is to be used, it must be clearly and precisely defined. The use of a dull pencil on a scale map can and has lead to lawsuits. A map may be con• venient to include for reference (only), but a latitude and longitude or distance from clearly defined points of reference is best. If usual procedure of defini...
