It is occasionally necessary for the University to discipline, suspend, and/or discharge and employee. Reasons for discipline, up to and possibly including immediate termination include, but are not limited to:
- violation of University or departmental rules/conduct
- failure to properly perform assignments as determined by the University
- poor performance
- dishonesty
- theft (including the theft of such University resources as computer time)
- drinking alcoholic beverages on the job
- use of drugs in violation of the Controlled Substance Act
- insubordination
- conduct unbecoming a University employee
Since situations vary, supervisors must consult with the Director of Human Resources prior to initiating any disciplinary action, including suspension and/or termination. The Director of Human Resources will assist the supervisor to ensure the consistent interpretation of current policies, procedures, contractual obligations and/or precedents set by the University.
