Termination of Tenured Faculty. Notice of termination, which shall mean a cancellation of continuing appointment having effect at the end of the academic year, shall be for just cause based upon factors of failure to maintain competence as a teacher and scholar or of repeated failure to comply with job requirements. Termination shall be effective at the end of the relevant academic year and notice will be given no later than November 1 of that academic year. Each notice will contain a statement setting forth in detail the cause for termination. The University must ask for review of the Professional Practices Committee prior to giving notice of termination. Copies of such notice shall be given to the faculty member and the Association at the same time. Full salary and fringe benefits shall be continued for terminated faculty through the end of the relevant academic year. Termination shall be grievable by the Association Committee for Contract Grievances directly to the GRC for a final and binding decision. In the event the decision to terminate or impose other discipline is overruled or reversed during the review or GRC process, the faculty member involved will be given full back salary and benefits accrued, but not paid, prior to reinstatement.
