Common use of Special Matching Clause in Contracts

Special Matching. Where special matching of a student’s needs to a particular OLFM’s expertise is required or a legitimate request has been made by a student for another OLFM, the supervisor may make an exceptional allocation decision to switch OLFMs; in such cases, the supervisor will advise the Employees delivering the course of the decision. i) The University reserves the right to assign a student to an OLFM based on a particular need of the student or when a specific skill or knowledge held by an OLFM is relevant to the course or program needs. Special matching may also be done when a course or program requires an OLFM to be a resident of a specific geographic area. ii) Special matching of students will be subject to the TAP provision, except as specified in iii) below. iii) Cases in which TAP provisions may be altered: • Special matching may be done when there is a one-time contract of limited duration between TRU and an outside employer for a course or program that requires an OLFM to be a resident of a specific geographic area in order to conduct face-to-face teaching and no current qualified OLFM resides in or is within commuting distance of the specific geographical area. This type of Special Matching will not be subject to TAP provisions. • Special matching may be done for contracts of limited duration between TRU and an outside employer for a course that requires a single OLFM for a particular cohort of students. This type of Special Matching will be rotated as equitably as reasonably possible among OLFMs who teach the course in question. iv) The University agrees not to use this Article to circumvent the TAP provisions in Article 8.4.
