The qualifications for this rank are measured in terms of the individual's total contribution to the College based upon both achievement and service. Faculties retiring after a minimum of ten years of full-time service are recommended for emeritus status. Code Title 5 Chapter 4 Section 6 for further clarification. Except as provided herein, the total probationary period for all academic faculty eligible for such appointment shall not exceed five years of uninterrupted full-time employment. At the discretion of the Board of Regents, an academic faculty member may be exempt from the requirement of serving a probationary period, and tenure shall be awarded on a case by case basis in negotiation with the president or his designee.
