    • Effect of Employment as a Faculty Member
      Officers or Administrators who have received approval from the Chancellor to terminate their administrative positions during the course of an academic year in order to become members of the faculty will receive compensation for all the  earned vacation days in their accumulated banks prior to employment as faculty members at their regular pay rate.

C. Termination
In the event that employment is terminated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the Officers, Administrators, or Management Staff shall receive compensation in cash at  their annual salary rates for any accrued and unused vacation days to a maximum of twenty-four days. Any additional vacation days which the Officers, Administrators, or Management Staff may have accrued beyond the twenty-four days must be taken  between the date of notification of termination and the date upon which the termination becomes effective. If it is impossible for any reason to take or use all of  said vacation days, unused days shall be forfeited.
