UMMHC-Employed Faculty

(See APP, Section 5.3)

Terms of Employment and Appointment

UMMHC-Employed Faculty are subject to the employment terms and conditions defined in their letter of offer and their employment contract with UMMHC, and by UMMHC policies and procedures. These individuals may also provide services to UMass Chan Medical School. The Faculty appointment of UMMHC-Employed Faculty is governed by the policies in the Academic Personnel Policy ("APP", Doc. T93-022, as amended).

If the individual’s employment agreement with UMMHC is terminated for any reason, their Faculty appointment and any services that the individual may be providing to UMass Chan Medical School also end coterminously, unless the individual has a new or continuing written agreement with UMass Chan Medical School or is a Tenured Faculty Member. UMMHC-Employed Tenured Faculty Members transfer employment to UMass Chan Medical School on termination of employment by UMMHC (APP, Section 4.3).

Termination of Appointment

The Faculty appointment of a Non-Tenured UMMHC-Employed Faculty Member may be terminated “Not For Cause” at any time for any reason that is not unlawful, by the chair, T.H. Chan School of Medicine Dean, or Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing Dean (as applicable) following notification of the Provost’s designee for faculty affairs and on prior written notification to the individual at least 30 days prior to the date of termination of appointment.

The Faculty appointment of a Non-Tenured UMMHC-Employed Faculty Member may be terminated effective immediately for “Cause” (APP, Section 1.9) at any time by the chair, T.H. Chan School of Medicine Dean, or Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing Dean (as applicable), with review and approval by the T.H. Chan School of Medicine Dean (if applicable) and Provost on written notification to the Faculty Member. Termination of the Faculty appointment of a Tenured UMMHC-Employed Faculty Member for “Cause” by UMass Chan must follow the procedure for Termination of Tenured Faculty (APP, Section 4.15).

Resignation of Appointment

A UMMHC-Employed Faculty Member may resign their Faculty appointment at any time by prior written notification to the chair, T.H. Chan School of Medicine Dean, or Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing Dean (as applicable) at the earliest possible opportunity but at least 90 days prior to the effective last date of appointment.  With the consent of the chair or dean an earlier date may be agreed.
