|
B. Administrator
Extendible Contracts |
|
1.
An
administrator's extendible contract
that was awarded
prior to May 12, 1993 shall be extended annually,
unless the administrator changes employment to a position for which a term contract is
awarded, or has received an "Unsatisfactory" rating as determined by the annual
performance rating obtained through the evaluation system in effect at that time.
However, the College may refuse to extend a contract for one or more of the reasons specified
in Section 4.07 III. B. |
|
2. Should an
administrator on extendible contract be given an overall "Unsatisfactory" rating
as determined by the annual performance evaluation system in effect at that time, said
administrator shall be offered an improvement contract for the forthcoming year. If an
administrator is to be offered an improvement contract, the President will give written
notice to the administrator by May 1. |
|
The appointment of
an individual employed under a term contract expires at the end of the contract term.
Reappointment or non-reappointment at the expiration of the term contract will be at the
volition of the College in its sole discretion. If it is the decision of the College not
to reappoint the individual, the President will give written notice to the employee by
May 1. However, a term contract applicable to a position that is supported by
a grant or other temporary source of funds may be terminated, with or without notice, at
the time of any cessation or suspension of the supporting grant or temporary funding. |

Extendible Contracts |

The reasons for
non-reappointment of a person who has an administrator extendible or improvement contract
shall be incompetence, serious misconduct, dereliction of duty, or discontinuation of the

Section 4.07 III. B. 1. b. |
|
b. Should an
employee holding an administrator contract accumulate (consecutively or non-consecutively)
two "Unsatisfactory" annual performance ratings during any consecutive four-year
period, a further contract shall not be provided beyond June 30 of the year in which the
second "Unsatisfactory" rating was given. |
|
Serious misconduct
shall include, but not be limited to, conviction of a felony or a crime involving moral
