What conditions affect academic staff job security?
Most academic staff are initially on one-year, fixed term, renewable appointments. These appointments are renewable: • As long as the employee provides satisfactory service • Funds are available • Directions or needs of the program do not change. Once an initial evaluation period has been successfully completed, the employment of an academic staff member may be ended only for reasons of: • Funding loss • A budget or program decision that requires a program to be discontinued, curtailed, modified, or redirected • Unsatisfactory performance • Misconduct.
