Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the work year of a twelve (12) month administrator may be changed to a ten (10) month work year, and/or the number of hours regularly worked by such administrator during one or more work weeks may be reduced to part-time, and the salary and other benefits of such administrator shall be adjusted accordingly pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the President of the University shall have given to such Administrator and the Chapter President written notice of such change in the work year and of the effective date thereof; and provided further that the President shall take such action only in the case of financial exigency or in the case of changing needs of the University. Such a reduction in force shall not be effectuated, as hereinafter provided, until the procedures set forth in Section B of this Article have been complied with in the case of financial exigency, or, in the case of the changing needs of the University, the procedures set forth in Section C have been followed. Whenever the President of the University or their designee shall have determined that such a reduction is required, a notice thereof shall be given to each administrator assigned to the affected administrative area and the Chapter President and volunteers shall be solicited. If within fifteen (15) days of such notice no volunteers have agreed to such reduction, the President may make such reductions in accordance with this Section as they shall determine.

Members of the bargaining unit who have completed seven (7) or more years of service shall receive eight (8) months’ notice prior to such reduction.
