[Adopted by the University Senate on 4/28/80 and 5/12/80. Adopted by the General Faculty on 9/15/80.]

[NOTE:  The Dismissal for Cause Policy in the University Policies
and Procedures Manual is in conflict with the above policy and is not
approved by the Faculty on the grounds that it violates our due process and
tenure rights.  Adopted by the Faculty Senate unanimously 11/9/98.
        The Faculty Senate has adopted a new policy regarding Dismissal for
Cause.  This policy was passed by the Senate 10/97, and is pending
presidential approval.  It is contained in the Appendix.]
