An indefinite appointment is an appointment of 50% or more with permanent status and for an unlimited term, granted by the Chancellor to a member of the academic staff pursuant to procedures of Chapter 107 of the Policies and Procedures. Such an appointment is terminable only for cause under UWS 11 or for reasons of budget decisions or program under UWS 12. The percentage of time provided for in the initial indefinite appointment may not be decreased or increased without the mutual consent of the academic staff member and the institution. Academic staff members may be granted indefinite appointment prior to the end of the sixth year of probationary service, but in no case before one year of probationary service is completed. A person with indefinite status who remains in the same position or who is involuntarily moved to another position shall not lose indefinite status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An academic staff member with indefinite appointment shall retain that status if they accept a limited title appointment as provided in UWS 15.01. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
