UC DAVIS: Office of Provost 

August 7, 1997 

DEANS, DIRECTORS, AND DEPARTMENT CHAIRS: 

RE:     New Policy Concerning the Disposition of Vacated FTE, effective on 
September 1, 1997 

The policy outlined below represents a return to the policy that was in 
effect prior to the budgetary stringencies of the period of 1991-1995. 
This policy was suspended during the Phase-III process to allow all of 
the campus's unallocated faculty FTE to remain in the divisions/schools/colleges 
to ease the curricular and programmatic impacts resulting from the loss of 
a large number of faculty through the three Voluntary Early Retirement 
Incentive Programs (VERIPs).

1. Tenure Denial:  The disposition of the FTE of an assistant professor 
who has been denied tenure. 
     
     A. The department retains the FTE only if the department or the chair 
has formally recommended against tenure.  1
	 B. The college/school/division retains the FTE only if the college/school/
division or the dean has formally recommended against tenure.
     C. In all other cases, the FTE reverts back to the Chancellor's 
Unallocated Pool of FTE for future allocation. 

2. Resignation:  The disposition of the FTE of a faculty member who has 
resigned his/her position at UC Davis.     

     A. The FTE reverts back to the dean of the college/school/division.   1 

3. Retirements and Deaths:  The disposition of the FTE of a faculty 
member who has formally retired or died. 

     A. The FTE reverts back to the Chancellor's Unallocated Pool of 
FTE for future allocation. 

This directive supersedes all previous directives on this subject and should 
help to clarify campus policy and practice.

1.  An exception would be if the department chair can make a clear and 
unequivocal  case to the dean that an assistant professor has resigned 
because the chair has warned him/her that promotion to tenure was highly 
unlikely.
