The reduction-in-force process applies to all regular full-time and part-time staff but excludes staff who have not completed the 90-day orientation and evaluation period and staff whose positions are fully funded by grants or term positions for special projects that have a specified end date (which has been communicated to the staff member at the time of hire in the form of a written offer letter advising them that they are not eligible for the severance under the reduction-in-force policy). Staff members' layoff and recall rights that are covered by bargaining unit agreements are governed by the provisions of those agreements.
