MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGMemorandum of Understanding • July 13th, 2024
Contract Type FiledJuly 13th, 2024In the 2019 round of collective bargaining, the parties negotiated that Senior Lab Instructors would no longer be automatically converted to continuing appointment after successfully serving the probationary period, but rather the Senior Lab Instructors and Senior Instructors (new position category) would be required to apply for continuing appointment after serving the probationary period. Senior Lab Instructors and Senior Instructors could apply for continuing appointment and promotion at the same time. This change in the Collective Agreement aligned Senior Lab Instructors and Senior Instructors to the processes that parallel tenure and promotion for faculty members. The parties have implemented the requirement to apply for continuing appointment; however, the language was not changed accordingly when the new process was brought into the Collective Agreement and needs to be corrected to reflect the current process.
