Can an instructor be continued who was hired on a one-year terminal contract?
No. A change from a one-year appointment to a multi-year appointment is a change in one of the terms and conditions of employment requiring a new recruitment effort. Persons who might not have been interested in moving or changing positions for one year may very well be interested in a multi-year appointment. We must give everyone one the opportunity to compete for this continuing position. It is always recommended that units that have positions that may be renewable make that information available in the initial ad.
