I. Preamble


The University of Virginia Separation Incentive Program for Faculty (the "Program") has been established to meet institutional needs created by reductions in the University's 2002-2004 biennial budget. The program is designed to reduce or reallocate positions in keeping with budgetary and programmatic needs.

In order to reap budgetary savings during Fiscal Years 2003 and 2004, this program will apply only to separation contracts executed in the Spring of 2003. Applicants to the severance portion of the program may separate no later than May 2004 for nine-month faculty, and June 2004 for 12-month faculty. Applicants to the phased retirement portion of the program must begin their phased retirements no later than August 25, 2003, for nine-month faculty and June 25, 2003, for 12-month faculty. The total cost in any fiscal year of the Separation Payment Contract portion of the Program may not exceed $2 million. The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia reserves the right to modify, amend, or repeal the Program at any time.

The Program has been designed to meet the management needs of the University and the needs of the faculty. Eligible faculty members may apply for, and if selected, participate in this program. A faculty member's election to participate is irrevocable seven days after the faculty member signs a separation contract. There are no penalties for declining to participate; however, failure to obtain significant budgetary savings as a result of this program could exacerbate budgetary shortfalls and require the University to pursue other more drastic measures.
