Decision not to recommend an additional appointment for a Health Programs Faculty does not necessarily imply that a faculty member has failed to meet the standards of the University with respect to academic competence and/or professional performance of his/her duties. This decision may be made, wholly or in part, upon the availability of salary funds and/or departmental or College needs. The decision not to make an additional appointment for a Health Programs Faculty does not require action by the MSU Board of Trustees. Such a decision is initiated at the level of the basic administrative unit and that unit's lead dean. Final decision will rest with the Dean of the College.
A Health Programs Faculty who is not to be recommended for additional appointment by the departmental administrator and Dean must be so notified in writing by the appropriate unit administrator no later than 90 days preceding the expiration date of the individual's appointment. Copies of the notification, which will be initiated by the applicable department chairperson are to be sent to the dean. Upon written request of the faculty member, the administrator recommending the decision (i.e., the Dean) shall transmit in writing the reasons for not recommending an additional appointment. A Health Programs Faculty not recommended for additional appointment by the departmental administrator and Dean and not receiving proper notification is given an extension of one year. The Health Programs Faculty shall consider this arrangement as official notification of separation from the University at the end of this one year extension.
