Article 10 - Discipline and Discharge

Section 1. Discipline may include written warnings, unpaid suspensions, or discharge. A Unit Core Faculty member will not be disciplined or discharged without just cause.

Section 2. It is understood that the University, in addition to issuing disciplinary action, may also include with such discipline reasonable remedial measures, when appropriate, with which the Unit Core Faculty member must comply.

Section 3. Discipline for purposes of this Article shall not include performance reviews and shall not include non-reappointment.

Section 4. At the discretion of the University, a Unit Core Faculty member may be placed on paid administrative leave to permit the University to investigate potential or alleged misconduct that may result in discipline. Being placed on paid administrative leave is not itself a disciplinary action.

Section 5. A Unit Core Faculty member may request that a Union representative be present at any investigatory meeting that the Unit Core Faculty member reasonably believes may lead to discipline and/or at a meeting where discipline is to be administered. Such requests shall not be unreasonably denied.
