Appointment and Reappointment Policy

In common with most colleges and universities, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure is a foundation for the appointment and tenure policy at MSMC. Mount Saint Mary College abides by the policies advocated by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in all aspects except with regard to:

  1. Automatic granting of tenure after 7 years of service.
  2. Twelve months’ notice of non-renewal of contract for full-time faculty members serving beyond two years. (Notice is given on or before December 15 of the contract year.)
