Suspension

The severity of an alleged violation and/or the frequency and number of violations may convince the VPAA to pursue suspension. Such suspension may not last beyond a full year but may entail the total or partial discontinuance of all salaries and benefits, the suspension of all promotion and salary increments, the temporary suspension of all or some faculty privileges, and the loss toward tenure and/or promotion of the time placed upon suspension.

Suspension may also consist of the temporary separation of a faculty member from the College where it is determined by the President that there is a strong likelihood that the faculty member’s continued presence at the College poses an immediate threat of harm to the College or to individual members of the College community. Such suspension shall be with pay and shall last only so long as the threat of harm continues, or until dismissal for cause occurs.

The VPAA will maintain a written record related to each suspension, subject to the same stipulations contained in the written notification section above.

Dismissal for Cause: The severity of an alleged violation and/or the frequency and number of violations may convince the VPAA to pursue dismissal for cause.
