Reduced Appointment. 5.1.4.1 Any faculty member who has been awarded tenure or Continuing Contract Status may request a reduced appointment. A reduced appointment is an appointment requiring action of the Board, in which, by mutual agreement between the faculty member and the Board, a faculty member may be assigned a fraction of the faculty member’s normal workload and receive a proportional fraction of the faculty member’s salary. The faculty member on a reduced appointment retains tenure or Continuing Contract Status and is entitled to the rights, privileges, and protections accorded any other faculty member. The faculty member on a reduced appointment shall meet a proportional share of the Tenured faculty member’s departmental responsibilities which shall be specified at the time the reduced appointment is approved. Reduced appointments are granted for a specified period, and they may be renewed only by mutual agreement between the faculty member and the Board; otherwise the faculty member must return to full-time status. A faculty member on a reduced appointment must inform the faculty member’s department head by March 1 of the last year of the specified period of the faculty member’s commitment to return to full-time status or to request a continuation of the reduced appointment. During the period a faculty member is on a reduced appointment and to the extent allowable according to the University’s agreement with the carrier and law, a faculty member is entitled to University-paid retirement, life insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability based on the faculty member’s reduced appointment salary. If the faculty member elects to participate in the University’s medical, dental, or optical coverages, the University will pay a percentage of the contribution/premium in proportion to the faculty member’s reduced appointment. The remainder of the contribution/premium is the responsibility of the faculty member.
Reduced Appointment. A reduced appointment is one in which the academic staff member's assigned duties, by mutual agreement between the member and the University, requires less than full-time employment. However, the member is normally appointed for a period of an academic year. A reduced appointment is made in each of the following situations: a member may elect to transfer from a permanent full-time to a permanent reduced appointment, or a new academic staff member may be appointed to a reduced position (e.g. appointed July 1st - June 30th, but works half-days or half-weeks).
Reduced Appointment. A reduced appointment is a limited-time reduction from full-time workload to a part-time workload with special provisions for staff benefit coverage and pension contributions. The intent of the reduction is to provide:

Reduced Appointment. A appointment is one in which the member’s assignment of duties requires less than full-time employment; however, the member is normally appointed for a period of an academic year. A reduced appointment is made in each of the following situations: a member may elect to transfer from a continuing full-time to a continuing reduced appointment, or a new member may be appointed to a reduced position (e.g. appointed July to June but works half-days or half-weeks). No member on less than a full-time appointment is required to accept an assignment of duties outside the times stipulated in the appointment; however, if a member should agree to a formal appointment to undertake such duties, it shall be for the regular pay and benefits of the position, prorated. The University may, in some unusual cases, make appointments which are both part-time and reduced (e.g. appointed July to December and works per cent of the time). The University will specify one of the following conditions for all appointments whether initial or subsequent appointments: Term The appointment has a terminal date which is stipulated in the letter of appointment and there is no obligation on the part of the University or the academic staff member to extend or renew employmentbeyond that date. Term appointments other than sessional lecturers or to a “visiting” appointment will normally be for twelve months except in special circumstances such as: when the need for the appointment was unforeseen and therefore cannot be filled at the beginning of the academic when it is used because a member is on leave for a period of less than twelve months; when it results from planning decisions arising from Article 5: when the recruiting procedure takes longer than normal; when the candidate’s availability limits the appointment. The University will endeavour to make term appointments (including subsequent appointments) as as possible. Appointments shall be made at the academic rank appropriate to the appointee’s qualifications. An individual other than a “Visiting” appointee or a Sessional Lecturer or Sessional Instructor may hold a term appointment, or appointments, for any portion of the academic year for a total of five consecutive years only. An appointment in the sixth consecutive academic year shall be a continuing one. Time spent in a term appointment shall count towards the fulfillment of probation if the member subsequently receives a probationary appointment provided that, in the judgement of the Ac...
