Common use of Short Course Appointments Clause in Contracts

Short Course Appointments. During the term of appointment for short courses between the Fall and Spring semesters, including summer sessions, the person must be active in a graduate degree program and must have been enrolled in at least one hour during the Fall semester or Spring semester. c. During the term of appointment, the person is in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress toward a graduate degree, as determined by the department in which the GTA is enrolled and by the Xxxx'x Office of the professional school or the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as appropriate. d. The person has satisfied any and all English proficiency criteria established by the Regents and/or the University. e. During the term of the appointment, the person's assigned duties consist primarily of direct involvement in classroom or laboratory instruction. f. Any person who has not previously served as a GTA at the University of Kansas or any returning GTA who has been identified as needing to attend GTA orientation must satisfactorily complete all components of orientation and training as specified in Section 8 of this article within timeframes established by the University. g. The person must successfully pass a background check as established by the University. Departments may establish more stringent conditions for appointments, but the above shall be the minimum mandatory conditions for holding a GTA appointment. If the University or a department establishes more stringent employment conditions, these conditions shall not be the cause of termination for employees whose current appointment began under previous conditions. If, during the term of the appointment, a GTA fails to meet any of the above employment conditions, the appointment may be terminated immediately or not renewed. Such terminations or non-renewals are not grievable; however, they shall be subject to a factual review by the University, and if the alleged failure is found to be in error, the GTA shall retain the appointment.
