Dismissal is the termination of employment initiated by the University prior to the ending date of appointment for good cause, including but not limited to serious misconduct, continued unsatisfactory work performance, or serious dereliction of academic duty. An appointee may be placed on immediate investigatory leave with pay, without prior written notice, for the purpose of reviewing or investigating charges of misconduct or dereliction of duty, which, in the judgment of the Chancellor, appropriate Vice President, or designee, require removing the appointee from University premises. Such investigatory leave must be confirmed in writing after it is instituted. The University shall provide a written Notice of Intent to the appointee prior to initiating the actions of written censure, suspension without pay, demotion, or dismissal. No Notice of Intent is required for a written warning.
