Reduction Sequence. If it is probable that a reduction of Regular or Probationary Faculty Members will be necessary, the Faculty Association will be notified immediately of the probability and the areas in which it might occur.
Reduction Sequence. It is expected that transferring employees will use their annual professional development time to orient and prepare themselves for their new assignments. If the annual professional development entitlement has already been used or if additional time over and above the professional development time is required, the College will consider requests for additional professional development time on a case-by-case basis. Such requests will not be unreasonably denied.
Reduction Sequence through the offering of a retirement incentive to an employee (who qualifies as per Article 22.1 Eligibility), an incentive shall be offered if the cost of such incentive is the same as or no more than the cost that would be incurred through layoff or transfer of another regular employee.

The Faculty Member will have the option to refuse reassignment and accept salary and time reduction of an equivalent percentage time to the class that has inadequate enrollment. Such reassignment or time reduction shall only be for the semester period during which the enrollment deficiency occurs.
35.02.3 If the reductions in the number of Regular and/or Probationary Faculty Members are necessary, the order will be on the basis of reverse seniority within the specific art discipline area. Leave of absence is not an interruption of continuous employment for purposes of applying this provision.
35.02.4 Wherever possible, Regular and/or Probationary Faculty Members affected by such reduction will be given preference for movement to another instructional area of the University for purposes of employment, provided no other Regular and/or Probationary Faculty Member will be displaced as a result.

Alternatives may include reassignment, subject to the operational requirements of the Institute. Such reassignment will be made by the appropriate Xxxx(s), in consultation with the affected Faculty Member.

Such reassignment or time reduction shall only be for the semester period during which the enrollment deficiency occurs.

Reduction Sequence. (a) If it is probable that a reduction of continuing faculty will be necessary, the Faculty Association will be notified as soon as is possible of the probability and the areas in which it might occur.
(b) At least 30 days before the College intends to give written notice to the faculty on continuing appointment affected, the College will arrange meetings with the Faculty Association to explore alternatives. Alternatives may include reassignment subject to the operational requirements of the College. Such reassignment will be made by the Xxxx of Academic Affairs, in consultation with the Associate Xxxx and the affected faculty member. The faculty member will have the option to refuse reassignment and accept salary and time reduction of an equivalent percentage time to the class that has inadequate enrolment. Such reassignment or time reduction shall only be for the semester period during which the enrolment deficiency occurs.
(c) If reductions in the number of continuing faculty are necessary, the order will be on the basis of reverse seniority within the specific art discipline area. Leave of absence is not an interruption of continuous employment for purposes of applying this provision.
(d) Wherever possible, continuing faculty affected by such reduction will be given preference for movement for purposes of employment to another instructional area of the College, provided no other continuing faculty will be displaced as a result.
(e) The College recognizes that in some circumstances, faculty members may require time to train for such positions. Therefore the preference above may be preserved for one year after the faculty member ceases to be employed pursuant to the reduction sequence. During that year, the College may employ new instructors only on a sessional basis so that this preference can be exercised at the end of the year.
(f) This Article does not apply to probationary or sessional faculty or any other faculty member whose contract expires at the end of the College year.
