The University shall have the right, upon such notice as may be reasonable, to dismiss any member of the faculty under the two following circumstances.

1. During any period of emergency caused by financial exigencies; or
2. If such member’s services are no longer required by reason of changes in the educational program of the University.

A member of the faculty so dismissed shall have the right to present his or her case to the Personnel Committee of the Faculty Senate in accordance with the procedure outlined in Section VI above.

Upon dismissal of any member of the faculty under the provisions of this section, the University shall make a conscientious effort to use the services of such member in some other department or capacity for which he or she has the necessary qualifications. If the services of the member of the faculty so dismissed cannot be used in any other department at the time of the dismissal, the University shall make a conscientious effort to give the faculty member first consideration for any new position to be filled in the future for which he or she may have the necessary qualifications at the rank held when dismissed.
