The Board of Regents of the Northern Marianas College has been urged to revise the two-year contracts of its staff to ensure job security.<\/p>\n
Dr. John Griffin, the Senate Faculty president and honorary member of the board, told the board yesterday that besides this long-time concern, faculty members are also urging the board to implement a policy it adopted 22 years ago relating to the promotion of personnel.<\/p>\n
Griffin said the two-year employment contract policy was established by the board in 1998, while the policy on promotions was adopted in 1989 but was never enforced.<\/p>\n
The existing two-year employment contract of NMC personnel stipulates that it can be terminated or not renewed without cause. Griffin appealed for an open-contract that can only be terminated with cause.<\/p>\n
NMC has 28 instructors, 46 non-instructional instructors, and 39 part-time instructors. Board chair Juan Lizama expressed support for the proposed changes in the personnel employment contract, citing this has been on the personnel committee\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n
Also yesterday, the board welcomed the newly elected president of the Associated Students of NMC, Lawrence Camacho, who will serve as an honorary member of the board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
