SANCTION AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES. If the Chief Academic Officer of the University believes that the conduct of a faculty member is sufficient to justify sanction or dismissal, then the Chief Academic Officer may bring charges against a faculty member. A The Chief Academic Officer shall initiate the procedure by informing the faculty member and the CSU-AAUP that charges have been brought.
SANCTION AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES. (1.) The procedure is to be initiated by the chief academic officer. The faculty member shall receive written statement of cause. The chief academic officer shall consult an ad hoc committee consisting of three members of the bargaining unit and/or the CSU-AAUP bargaining unit (selected by the AAUP-LS) and three members of the academic administration with tenured faculty status (selected by the administration). The faculty member shall be provided an opportunity within five (5) days of the notice of sanction or dismissal to request a hearing before the ad hoc committee. The ad hoc committee shall make a recommendation to the chief academic officer on the appropriateness of the sanction or dismissal within five (5) days after it is constituted. The chief academic officer shall determine the appropriateness of a sanction or dismissal, with the advice and consent of the ad hoc committee, within five (5) days of receiving the ad hoc committee’s recommendation. At any time, the chief academic officer may temporarily relieve an accused faculty member of all academic responsibilities if the chief academic officer deems this action to be necessary in an emergency to prevent immediate harm to the faculty member or to others at the university. However, the chief academic officer shall communicate this decision in writing to the ad hoc committee as soon as possible. The accused faculty member shall suffer no loss of pay or benefits during such a period of temporary suspension.
SANCTION AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES. The Administration has the right to sanction a member of the bargaining unit up to and including termination of appointment, consistent with the requirements of just cause and the procedures outlined in this Article and the Grievance Procedure set forth in Article 9.
