SUBJECT: FACULTY DISMISSALS, NON-REAPPOINTMENTS, AND TERMINAL APPOINTMENTS

Notice of non-reappointment or of the intention to reduce the length of a faculty member's current contract will be given in writing in accordance with the following guidelines:

1. Not later than March 1, the university must indicate its intention to terminate the contract of a faculty member holding a one-year appointment;
2. Not later than April 15, the university must indicate its intention to either not extend or to reduce the contract of a faculty member holding a multi-year appointment. Any reduction in contractual length shall be accompanied by a professional development plan which enumerates deficiencies to be addressed.

Dismissal of Faculty with Unexpired Term Appointments - A faculty member whose term of appointment has not expired shall not be dismissed until he or she has received reasonable notice of the cause for dismissal. While adhering to the established procedures to show good cause for dismissal, a faculty member must be given the opportunity for a hearing, except in circumstances noted in attachment A (Financial Exigency and Phasing Out of Programs) and attachment B (Proceeding in Dismissal Cases). Good cause for dismissal of a faculty member may include, but are not limited to the following:

1. professional incompetence;
2. continuing or repeated substantial neglect of professional responsibilities;
3. moral turpitude adversely affecting the performance of duties or the meeting of responsibilities to the institution, or to students or associates;
4. unprofessional conduct adversely affecting to a material and substantial degree, the performance of duties or the meeting of responsibilities to the institution, to students, or to associates;
5. a violation of the university'ssubstance abuse policy (policy 1.5.3);
6. bona fide financial exigency or the phasing out of institutional programs requiring reduction of faculty (attachment A); or
7. the reduction or discontinuance of institutional programs based on educational considerations and requiring termination of faculty members (attachment A).

In any case involving the dismissal of a faculty member or a faculty member whose term appointment has not expired at the time of dismissal, a bona fide effort should be made to achieve a satisfactory resolution of difficulties through preliminary inquiry, discussion, or confidential mediation. Should these efforts fail to achieve a satisfactory resolution and should the difficulties be considered by the administration to be serious enough to warrant dismissal, the procedures provided in attachment B will be instituted.

In cases of non-renewal of a faculty member at the end of a one-year only contract, 51吃瓜网视频 Baptist University is not required to provide a faculty member a reason for a decision not to reappoint for another contract term or to provide a hearing.
