IV. ACADEMIC HUMAN RESOURCES POLICIES

The following policy was approved by the Board of Trustees on February 17, 1944 and amended on July 26, 1991.

All academic personnel are appointed on either an academic year (AY) or annual year (AN) basis. An academic year appointment covers a full twelve month period with a nine-month assignment of duties and responsibilities, including related departmental meetings before registration in the fall and commencement and grade-reporting in the spring. The assignment period will normally be from August 16 through May 15 of the following calendar year. The two-week period preceding classes will be an orientation/planning time.

An annual appointment is for a full-year assignment of duties and responsibilities including periods of annual leave and paid holidays.

For AY appointments, the salary is paid on the last working day of each month during the duty period, August 16 through May 15; for AN appointments, the salary is paid on the last working day of each month.
