Article 26 - Program Elimination and Transfer

A. In the event that a program is to be eliminated on a campus or site and transferred to another campus or site, the unit members affected by such a transfer shall have a right to move with the program. Unit members who move with the program shall have the right to the same or equivalent position except where none is available due to bona fide financial or program reasons.

B. The University shall reimburse documented moving costs and relocation expenses, including temporary housing to those individuals who choose to move with the program up to a maximum of $1,500. In addition the University may elect to reimburse actual, reasonable, and necessary expenses which exceed this amount.
