FAC 483. Non-reappointment of Non-tenured Faculty

If a non-tenured faculty member alleges that a decision not to reappoint him/her is a violation of academic freedom (as found in FAC 470), the Faculty Review Committee will consider the allegation. If the committee finds against the faculty member, he/she may appeal through the established grievance procedure described in Section 491. If the committee finds in favor of the faculty member, the President shall take the finding and rationale into account. However, the President is not bound by the finding and retains the right and responsibility to make the final decision.
