7.5.1 Policy Governing Termination (FAM VII.A)
At the end of the probationary period for faculty holding tenure-track appointments, a faculty member’s contract will either not be renewed or tenure will be granted. If a faculty member accepts appointment with tenure, the faculty member’s service cannot be terminated except for adequate cause. (See Art. VII.C. for reasons specified by the South Carolina Code, the College of Charleston and the AAUP as adequate reasons for termination of a tenured faculty member and discussion of the termination procedure.) After two or more years of service at the College in a tenure-track position, written notice that such a probationary appointment is not to be renewed will be given to a faculty member at least twelve months before the expiration of any appointment.
