Resignation

A staff member who voluntarily resigns from 91社区 must provide written notification to their Department Chair, with a copy to the Dean and the Academic Personnel Office. Staff members are asked to provide no less than four weeks' notice prior to their departure, and are encouraged to discuss a plan of departure with their Department Chair or Dean.

In the absence of a written communication, a staff member will be presumed to have resigned should they not be present on the first day of classes, or not return from a leave. In such instances, resignation will be considered automatic.
