Criteria

Dismissal proceedings may be instituted based on the following:

  1. Lack of teaching and professional competence including those defined in the section on Faculty Duties and Responsibilities.
  2. Deliberate and serious violation of the rights and freedom of fellow faculty members, administrators, or students.
  3. Conviction of a crime.
  4. Serious failure to follow the canons and professional ethics of one’s discipline.
  5. Falsification of credentials or experience.
  6. Repeated failure to follow the policies contained in the Faculty Handbook, despite documented warnings from the relevant Department/division Chair and/or the VPAA. However, certain violations of Faculty Handbook policy may be considered by the VPAA as so serious that they justify immediate dismissal proceedings.
  7. Other just causes as permitted under New York law.
