UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS T E R M S OF EMPLOYMENT

583

27. ( a ) In the absence of some special arrangement, the employment of members of the faculty will be either continuous or for a period of ten months. Those continuously employed must hold themselves in readiness for service at any time during the year, and will receive their salary in twelve monthly installments. T h e others will receive their salary in ten monthly installments, and their employment will be from September I to July 1, within which period they must at all times be in readiness for any required service. (b) It is assumed that all persons worthy of continuous employment will be interested above all else in developing the work of their departments, will have no interest incompatible therewith, and will give the utmost of their powers at all times to the promotion of that end. (c) T h e following schedule covers the amount of work the assistants of different grades of pay should give the University and the amount of graduate work to be allowed.

(d) T h e importance of rest and recreation to teachers is recognized, and it is desired that all shall have reasonable vacations, and shall use their vacations rationally to promote the ends for which they are afforded; but it must not be supposed that the vacation of the faculty extends from Commencement day to the day when instruction begins in September. All members of the faculty will be expected to be in actual attendance up to the first day of July and on and after the first day of September, except on leave extended, for special reasons, by the President of the University; and in July and August all above the rank of instructor will keep the President notified of their whereabouts and will respond quickly to any call for service. (e) In case a member of the faculty intends to leave the service of the University it is but fair that the President of the University shall be advised, at least as soon as such purpose has been determined on. In case a resignation is presented to take effect at some future time the Board will exercise its right to terminate the service at that time, or at some earlier date, as may seem just to all the interests involved. In case a member of the faculty accepts or enters on regular employment elsewhere before the termination of service here, that fact will work a termination of service and cessation of salary here. Absence from ordinary service in the University, for any other cause than sickness, must be with the approval of the President, if for less than ten days; and if for a longer time, with the approval of the Board of Trustees. All absences of regular appointees, whether instructional, scientific, administrative, or clerical, are to be reported. Forms for report of absences of faculty, etc., will be furnished by the President's Office. All absences, including vacations, of one day or more of Civil Service appointees and other persons on the clerical, stenographic, and secretarial staff are to be reported on forms provided by the Business Office. W h e n a person in the employ of the University resigns or is absent in a way that involves cessation of pay, informal notice should be given immediately to the Business Office in addition to the notice

*In case of courses which require a large amount of outside work upon papers, for example, rhetoric, or intensive laboratory work with full sections, as in chemistry or zoology, this maximum will be correspondingly reduced as determined in each case by t i e Dean.
