The University may transfer an employee from one department to another if program changes or reorganization transfer the position held by the employee to the new department. Where applicable, an employee's salary, seniority, and performance evaluations shall not be affected by a transfer resulting from program changes or reorganization.
An employee may, through her/his Department Chair and, as applicable, Dean/Director, submit a request to the Provost for transfer from one department to another within the University, and within the bargaining unit. The Provost shall review the request with the other department. Within ninety days of submission of his/her request to the Department Chair, an employee shall receive notification in writing from the Provost of his/her decision. If the Provost grants the request, the employee shall be transferred.
With the consent of the employee, the University may reassign an employee from a bargaining unit position to a position outside the bargaining unit. If the employee is subsequently reassigned to a position in the bargaining unit, the employee’s salary shall be no less than it would have been if the employee had remained in the bargaining unit.
