Three-year Letters of Agreement establish a reasonable period of continued employment and continuity of instruction for eligible faculty, subject to the University’s existing policies on faculty review, promotion, discipline, and termination. To that end, Deans may offer a three-year commitment to eligible full-time faculty when making reappointmentsunder the terms of this policy. A multi-year agreement is intended to retain the faculty member for three years, subject to continued, satisfactory performance and subject to the early termination provisions explained below. A multi-year agreement isnot intended to create an expectation of tenure, permanent employment, or continued multi-year agreements.  \nEligibility –  \n• Eligible academic faculty are full-time faculty who have: (a) achieved the rank of Associate Professor or Professor, o been continuously employed at Goodwin for a minimum of five (5) years, and (c) been recommended for reappointment by their Dean, and approved by the Provost and Dean of Faculty, based on continuous satisfactory performance in quality of teaching, service, and scholarship.  \no If an eligible faculty member has not met expected performance standards, the Dean may choose to offer a one-year re-appointment or to not offer a re-appointment.  \no Approved leaves of absence are counted for purposes of 5-year eligibility requirement (e.g. , FMLA, LOA, Sabbaticals, etc.) and do not count against the faculty member.  \n􀂃 Approved leave, with or without pay, during any period of the three-year commitment will not prolong the original period of the Letter of Agreement to account for the period of the leave. The original beginning and end dates specified within the commitment will remain in effect.  \no If a faculty member separates from the University and returns, the 5-year clock restarts.  \no If formal, written disciplinary action on file with Human Resources has been imposed on the faculty member, the 5-year clock starts over.  \no In special circumstances, and with approval of the Provost and Dean of Faculty, a three-year Letter of Agreement may be offered at the time of hire, subject to all of the same conditions and terms as three-year letters of agreement that are offered during employment at the University.  \nRelationship to Review, Promotion, and Compensation –  \nThe promotion process and salary/compensation review process are separate.  \n• All full-time faculty members participate in a yearly evaluation process.  \n• The Dean will notify faculty of any increase in salary using the same procedure as used for University staff (i.e. , a Final Compensation Statement, which is one piece of paper, and a new Letter of Agreement is not issued) .  \n• A multi-year agreement does not affect the evaluation process or determination of compensation.  \n• A faculty member’s job responsibilities may change during the three-year period; the Letter of Agreement does not guarantee a static title, role or responsibility. The Dean, with approval of the Provost, may alter teaching and administrative assignments as the needs of the University change.  \n• A multi-year Letter of Agreement does not prevent faculty from applying for promotion.  \nEarly Termination of Multi-Year Agreements –  \n• A multi-year agreement may be terminated at any time by the University, if it determines it would be in the best interest of the University to do so. For example, the University may terminate a multi-year agreement for performance or disciplinary reasons, financial exigency, discontinuance, or reduction of a program.  \no In most circumstances, the University will provide a faculty member with written notice of termination at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance","cbCaibnzyzD4Q2yn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibnzyzD4Q2yn","pdf",598147,6,"English","# Policy Statement\n## Eligibility\n## Relationship to Review, Promotion, and Compensation\n## Early Termination of Multi-Year Agreements\n# Procedure Details\n## Areas of Responsibility","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of a three-year letter of agreement under this policy?\",\"answer\":\"It establishes a reasonable period of continued employment and instructional continuity for eligible full-time faculty, intended to retain faculty for three years subject to satisfactory performance and the policy’s early termination provisions.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to receive a multi-year letter of agreement?\",\"answer\":\"Eligible academic faculty must be full-time faculty who have achieved Associate Professor or Professor rank, have at least five years of continuous employment, and are recommended for reappointment by their Dean and approved by the Provost and Dean of Faculty based on continuous satisfactory teaching, service, and scholarship performance.\"},{\"question\":\"Can a multi-year agreement be terminated before the three-year term ends?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
