Policy regarding suspended faculty Faculty with term appointments less than two years in length will be terminated at the end of the appointment. Requests for exceptions may be submitted at the time of the appointment and must be approved by the cognizant provost. If the faculty member had been eligible for benefits and is placed in a suspended status, the benefits will be terminated. The faculty member will therefore receive a Cobra letter.
