129 2. In identifying faculty whose employment will be terminated, the following will be taken into account: the academic needs of the School/University, length of service, qualifications, performance, rank, and other relevant criteria. C. Recall of Faculty Terminated Due to Financial Exigency 1. If within two years following the terminated employment of a tenured or probationary faculty member due to financial exigency a position(s) for which the faculty member is qualified becomes vacant, the President will offer the position to the affected faculty by certified mail, return receipt requested. Written acceptance of the position must be made within thirty days of the mailing of the President's offer. 2. If two or more faculty members are qualified for a vacant position, recall will be in inverse order of termination. No new full-time faculty will be hired for a teaching position in an area of competence as long as faculty whose employment was terminated retain recall rights. 3. A recall faculty member will be reinstated with the same status as held at the time of terminated employment. The salary of the reinstated faculty member will include any general increases given to non-terminated faculty during the period of termination in addition to adjustments for any educational credentials acquired during the period of termination.
130 POLICY CONCERNING TERMINATION DUE TO REDUCTION IN OR DISCONTINUANCE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMS 20 I. PURPOSE The following statement of policy was formulated to comply with Section 13 of Series 9 . II. III. INTRODUCTION Periodic review of the strength and viability of academic programs is necessary and inevitable. Such review can and should result in constructive change in program direction and offerings. Decisions regarding the reduction in or discontinuance of academic programs must be based upon both system-wide and institutional policies and commitments. The procedural recommendations included in this document are in compliance with the system-wide policy and procedural statements outlined in Series 9, Policy Regarding Academic Freedom, Professional Responsibility, Promotion and Tenure; Series 10, Program Review; and Series 11, Submission of Proposals for New Academic Programs; and the Discontinuance of Existing Programs. The recommendations included herein are further consistent with the Fairmont State University institutional mission discussed in Agenda for Action 1985-1990, A Master Plan of Goals and Service for Public Higher Education in West Virginia. Of primary consideration in developing these procedures is the maintenance of the integrity of academic programs. In addition, the Fairmont State University policy regarding reduction in or discontinuance of academic programs reflects commitment to the following principles: A. Individual faculty rights must be protected. B. The rights of students enrolled in programs at the time of their proposed discontinuance must be protected. C. The emergence of new educational needs resulting from societal and economic influences upon the institution must be recognized and acted upon. D. Information regarding potential academic program changes and their implications must be available to all affected institutional personnel. All programmatic changes are accomplished only through established procedures. Further, as probationary or tenured faculty may be reassigned or terminated as a result of a major reduction in or discontinuance of a program, the University must adhere to the following guidelines, criteria and procedures when considering and effecting such a change. GUIDELINES, CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES A. Program Review A proposal for a major reduction in or discontinuance of a program must be substantiated by an extensive and thorough program review. The procedures which are to be followed for the review are set forth in Series 11. If the review should result in an institutional decision to discontinue a program, the required Board of Directors' 20 Approved by Faculty Senate, April 12, 1988
