The terms of employment of the teaching staff require faculty presence on the appropriate campus from September 1 until after commencement, except during holidays and when administrative authorization for absence has been given. A proportionate amount of salary is deductible for each day of absence that has not been duly authorized.
Professional and administrative members with faculty appointments or faculty rank (and Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension System personnel) are normally engaged for the fiscal year, with annual leave of twenty-two working days, exclusive of recognized holidays. This leave is noncumulative from year to year and is forfeited if not taken within the following fiscal year. Dates of annual leave are subject to approval of the department chairperson or appropriate administrative officer.
Professional/administrative members may accumulate a maximum of twenty- five vacation days through five years of service, a maximum of thirty days from six through ten years of service, a maximum of thirty-five days from eleven through twenty years of service, and a maximum of forty days for more than twenty years of service.
Under no circumstances may a full-time faculty member be employed on a regular basis, full-time or part-time, by another educational institution, by a state or federal agency or in a private business without the written approval of the President or his or her designee, except as provided under the policy on outside employment (see "Outside Employment" later on in this section).
Part-time faculty may be hired on an annual or shorter basis, either in the Continuing Education Division or for the regular academic program. Because there is not expectation of continued appointment, notice of nonrenewal is not required.
Initial hire is completed through a faculty/professional initial appointment contract. All actions thereafter will be processed on a Personnel Action Form (PAF).
