A COLLECTIVE agreement provision protecting
seniority rights for up to 24 months between teach-
ing appointments at an Ontario university does not
mean part-time faculty members remain employ-
ees during that time, an arbitrator has ruled.
Part-time faculty members at the University of
Ottawa apply for teaching appointments on a se-
mester-to-semester basis, with teaching contracts
that spanned the 13 weeks of each semester. Faculty
members accumulated seniority points for each
course taught and for every year in which a course
was taught. Because some part-time professors
weren't always successful in landing appointments
each semester, their collective agreement stipulated
that if they missed semesters, they would maintain
their seniority points for up to 24 months of inactive
employment.
