For a permanent faculty separation the unit should forward to Academic Human Resources the original or a copy of the letter of resignation stating the following:
When you receive a resignation, either written or verbal, please acknowledge the resignation in writing within fifteen days.
For a non-renewal or denial of tenure/promotion, a copy of the Dean's/Chancellor's letter must be sent to Academic Human Resources. When the unit receives a copy the letter stating non-renewal or denial it may be entered on-line.
Faculty who do resign but are offered and accept a position to remain as affiliate or clinical courtesy faculty must follow the above procedures for resignation. The unit then follows the same procedure for the new clinical/affiliate title as those of a new appointment. This includes the faculty vote, Chair/Director's recommendation, Dean's/Chancellor's approval. The OPUS entry for the resignation of the permanent faculty position must have the separation code indicated.
