DUE PROCESS COMMITTEE

(Senators will be given a list of tenured faculty members at the meeting.)

The Due Process Committee guarantees that a tenured faculty member may not be
discharged or suspended from employment without good and just cause. The
Committee consists of five members and five alternates, all of whom must be
members of the regular teaching faculty who hold permanent tenure.

Within ten days of receipt of the notice from the Chancellor or his delegate
of intention to discharge him/her, the faculty member may request a hearing
before the Due Process Committee.

The hearing deals only with those written specifications for reasons of the
intended discharge or suspension. In reaching its decision, the Committee
shall consider only evidence presented at the hearing and such written and
oral arguments as the Committee, in its discretion, may allow. The faculty
member has the right of appealing the Committee's decision.

HEARING COMMITTEE

The Hearing Committee guarantees to nontenured faculty members the right of a
hearing concerning an unfavorable action resulting in nonreappointment or
nonconferral of permanent tenure.

The Hearing Committee is composed of five members and five alternates who are
full-time faculty members without administrative appointment.

Within five days after receiving notice of an unfavorable action concerning
nonconferral of permanent tenure resulting from the conference with the
Chancellor, the faculty member may request a hearing before the Hearing
Committee.

The Hearing Committee's review of the faculty member's case shall be limited
solely to determining whether the decision not to reappoint or confer
permanent tenure was based upon any of the grounds stated to be impermissible
in Section 604B of The Code of the University of North Carolina.

The Hearing Committee shall consider the written request and grant a hearing
if it determines that (a) the request contains a contention that the decision
was based upon impermissible grounds under Section 604B of The Code and that
(b) the facts suggested, if established, will support the contention.

RECONSIDERATION COMMITTEE

This Committee guarantees the right of tenured and nontenured faculty members
to a hearing on termination of employment due to financial exigency of major
curtailment or elimination of a teaching, research, or public service program.

The membership of the Committee is composed of five members and five
alternates who are full-time faculty members without administrative rank.

If a faculty member makes a written request within ten days after receiving
notice of termination of employment, the Chancellor or his delegate shall
insure that the hearing is accorded before a standing committee of the Faculty
Senate, the Committee on Reconsideration of Faculty-Program Termination
Decision. The Committee may consider only such evidence as is presented at
the hearing and need consider only the evidence offered that it considers fair
