Handbook Section C CONTRACTS 1. Contracts for Full Time Teaching Faculty Every teaching faculty member signs a contract with the College specifying title and salary for the following year. For returning teaching faculty, contracts are sent out each spring, and the College expects them to be returned with a signature within 14 days of their receipt. Appointments for tenure track teaching faculty are ordinarily for an initial two-year period. A tenure track appointment may be renewed for a second two year period following a satisfactory evaluation and recommendation by Faculty Affairs Committee and Student Faculty Affairs Committee, accepted by the President, during the teacher’s second year of employment. (This is called the “second year review”). A third two-year appointment may be made following a successful evaluation during the teacher’s fourth year of employment (called the “fourth year review”). Normally, a tenure decision is made in the spring of a teacher’s sixth year of employment. Teachers appointed to renewable but not tenurable positions will be evaluated informally each year by the Academic Dean, and will be evaluated formally by the above committees, each three years or five courses taught, whichever comes last. After the first such review, Faculty Affairs Committee will determine a timetable for subsequent reviews. Teaching faculty whose contract will not be renewed for a second or third year of service will be notified no later than December 31. Teaching faculty who will not be issued a contract after their third, fourth, or sixth year of service will be notified of that decision by Commencement, but are entitled to a terminal contract for the next academic year. When such a person takes a position for part or all of the terminal year at another institution, Earlham will cease salary and benefits payments at the point of subsequent employment. Faculty members expecting to resign from the faculty at the end of an academic year are requested to notify the Academic Dean, if at all possible, by January 20 of that year. The College considers it unprofessional for a faculty member to resign a position after April 15. Earlham considers the Faculty Handbook to be a part of the contract. Termination of contracts for cause is discussed in Handbook Section I. 2. Contracts for Administrative Faculty, Including Coaches Contracts for administrative faculty and coaches are for one year. For returning administrative faculty and coaches, contracts are sent out each spring, and the College expects them to be returned with a signature within fourteen days of receipt. In cases of non-renewal of contract, the faculty member or coach will be notified no later than March 31st. Administrative faculty members or coaches expecting to resign are expected to give at least one month’s notice. |
