The University-College administration shall not use this exceptional circumstances clause to circumvent the implementation of the procedures of Articles 7.9.2 and 7.9.3 in cases where circumstances are such that these procedures could have been followed. The employment of a faculty member may be terminated by the University-College only for cause.
Professional incompetence constitutes cause.
8.2.1.3 Professional incompetence cannot be finally or decisively described in any statement of procedures. Each case must be assessed individually. Alternate forms of such action could include private reprimand or other forms of censure within the University-College. The President shall, at the request of the faculty member, state in writing the facts believed to constitute cause for dismissal during contract. When this statement is prepared a copy shall be given to the faculty member.
