Recall of Department Chair. 9.1.7.1 For the purposes of this entire Section 9.1.7, the department chair does not have voting rights nor is to be considered as a voting member of the department. Voting department faculty (as defined in 9.1.6 above), anytime after a Chair has served one (1) full semester in office, may petition for recall of the department chair. (The one (1) full semester waiting period does not apply to Chairs who are serving a consecutive term.)
Recall of Department Chair. The recall of a Department Chair by department members is an unusual occurrence and such recall should be based upon extraordinary circumstances. The following procedures for the recall of a Department Chair by department members shall not be used until a Chair has served at least one (1) calendar year from the date of appointment, or until an acting Chair has served at least one (1) semester from the date of appointment; provided, however, that in the case of any acting Chair who has been appointed pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing Section D and who is serving in such capacity by reason of the President’s having declined to appoint as Chair a nominee duly submitted to him/her pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing Section B, the following procedures for the recall of a Department Chair by department members may be used after such acting Chair shall have served in such capacity for a period of not fewer than ten (10) weeks during one (1) or more academic years. Only members of the department who are not on leaves of absence on a full- time basis shall be eligible to participate in the procedures set forth in this Section E.
