133 leave of absence, and available discretionary funds to cover retraining expenses will be made to enable faculty to qualify for reassignment. 2. Preferred Consideration at Other Institutions: An individual faculty member is an employee of only one institution. Several public institutions, however, are components of a system of higher education in the state and, therefore, are mutually dependent upon the health and viability of one another. If a faculty member is to be released because of a major reduction in or discontinuance of a program, the faculty member should be given the courtesy of preferred consideration for vacancies at other institutions in the state system in accordance with system-wide policy and guidelines. 3. Institutional Letter of Recommendation: A faculty member whose employment is terminated due to a major reduction in or discontinuance of a program shall be given a personal letter from the President of the University which fully explains the reason(s) for termination. This letter shall expressly state that the termination does not imply a negative judgment about the person’s performance, but is due to program change. 4. Assistance in Finding Employment: The University shall assist the faculty member, to the extent possible, in the sending of letters of explanation and professional resumes supportive of efforts to find suitable employment elsewhere. D. Recall of Faculty Terminated due to Reduction in or Discontinuance of an Academic Program 1. If within three years following the terminated employment of a tenured or probationary faculty member due to reduction in or discontinuance of an academic program a position(s) for which the faculty member is qualified becomes vacant, the President of the University 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 affected faculty members are qualified for a vacant position, recall will be in inverse order of termination. No new full or part-time faculty will be hired for a teaching position as long as faculty in an area of competence whose employment was terminated retain recall rights. 3. A recalled faculty member shall be reinstated with the same status as held at the time of terminated employment. The salary of the reinstated faculty member shall include any general increases given to non-terminated faculty during the period of termination.
134 EMERITUS STATUS FOR RETIRED PROFESSIONALS This policy concerning Emeritus Status has been established in accordance with Series 9, Section 6, and filed in the office of the Higher Education Policy Commission. The names of retired professionals who are eligible for membership in the Emeritus Program of Fairmont State University shall be forwarded to the Faculty Personnel Committee by the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs for review and recommendation to the President of this university. The Faculty Personnel Committee may recommend Professor Emeritus, Faculty Emeritus, or Emeritus status, as appropriate. Upon receipt of a recommendation from the Faculty Personnel Committee, the President may confer Emeritus status. Eligibility for membership in the Emeritus Program of this university is determined by the following criteria and guidelines: (1) The retired faculty member must have held academic rank at Fairmont State University for at least five years. (2) The faculty member must have retired from active service according to the provisions of a retirement system approved by the Higher Education Policy Commission. (3) A faculty member holding the academic rank of professor on retirement shall be confirmed as Professor Emeritus. (4) A faculty member with at least 10 years of full-time equivalent teaching service at Fairmont State University holding the rank of associate professor on retirement shall be confirmed as Professor Emeritus. (5) Other faculty members shall receive the designation of Faculty Emeritus, providing they have at least five years of full-time equivalent teaching at Fairmont State University at the time of retirement. (6) The Faculty Personnel Committee may recommend waiving the criteria relating to academic rank or years of service for any retiring faculty member who, in the Committee's collective judgment, warrants special consideration. (7) Members of the professional staff who do not hold academic rank may be designated Emeritus if such status is conferred by the President of the University. A retired faculty member or other professional approved by the President for the title of Professor Emeritus, Faculty Emeritus, or Emeritus is entitled to the rights and privileges of full time faculty members with regard to campus activities. Retired faculty members are reminded to obtain a faculty ID in order to have access to campus activities. A retired faculty member may attend meetings of the faculty and the Faculty Senate as a nonvoting member; be on the University mailing list for usual faculty and alumni bulletins; participate in academic processions; receive a suitable citation; and be listed in University publications as Professor Emeritus, Faculty Emeritus or Emeritus. Free parking is no longer available to retired faculty members. CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES FOR HONORARY DEGREES AND AWARDS The following are general criteria for use as guidelines for making nominations for recipients of honorary degrees and awards. The nominee must fulfill one of these criteria: (1) The nominee must have made a significant contribution to or performed distinguished services for one of the following: Fairmont State University, the region, the state, or the nation.
