Failure of a faculty member to meet the above notification requirement shall be deemed a waiver of the
right to receive tenure within the time limits specified in Article 16.2. If, in such a case, the University
fails to give adequate written notice that tenure will not be granted, that failure will not result in
“automatic tenure,” but rather in an obligation to give a terminal contract or to provide one additional
year's wages.
16.4 Academic Administrators and Tenure
Academic administrators, as defined in Article 9.3.2, who are ranked teaching faculty may be considered
for advancement to tenure in conformity with the provisions of this Article except as clarified below:
a. full-time employees of Regis University who hold appointments as academic
administrators and who teach at least one three-credit-hour course or its equivalent in
Regis College each academic year may be considered for advancement to tenure. If a
person hired by the University for one of the positions named below is on a tenure track
at his/her immediately prior position at a regionally accredited institution of higher
education, the completed probationary years at that institution may be counted for tenure
at Regis subject to the criteria stated in Article 16.2;
b. an academic administrator with faculty rank will be presumed to have met the criteria set
forth in Article 17.2.5 for Service to the University. The Committee on Rank and Tenure
will identify a Special Academic Evaluator from the department or program in which
tenure will be granted as described in 13.1. The administrator seeking tenure will submit
an Application for Tenure to the Special Academic Evaluator and follow the procedures
on review and recommendation outlined in section 16.5. If it is the Dean seeking tenure,
the Vice President for Academic Affairs will serve in the role of the Dean delineated in
these sections.
c. when full-time employees of Regis University who are academic administrators are
advanced to tenure in Regis College, they will be expected to continue to teach in Regis
College at least two three-credit hour courses or their equivalent over the course of four
years with the proviso that they shall not go more than four consecutive semesters
without teaching at least one course, as long as they retain their administrative position.
In such cases, they will be guaranteed a continuous appointment when they leave their
administrative positions until retirement age unless there is proof of adequate cause (as
defined in Article 14.4), financial exigency (as defined in Article 14.3.2), or changes in
the educational program (as defined in Article 14.3.1);
d. a tenured person who accepts an appointment as an academic administrator will retain
full tenure rights in Regis College so long as s/he continues to teach as specified in “c”
above;
e. a tenured person who accepts a non-academic administrative position will forfeit tenure
rights unless s/he takes a leave of absence (see Article 6), but may retain academic rank
as specified in Article 9.3.1;
f. a person who is hired by the University for the position of President, Vice President for
Academic Affairs, or Academic Dean of Regis College, and who holds tenure in her/his
immediately prior position at a regionally-accredited institution of higher education and
