No. The revised APP preserves all of the faculty rights defined in the current APP:

  • Academic Freedom (revised APP, Section 1.4)
  • Primary Responsibility of the Faculty (revised APP, Section 1.6)
  • Rights of Members of the Faculty in Personnel Decisions (revised APP, Section 1.8)
  • Tenure Guarantees (revised APP, Section 4.3)
  • Notice period for termination of employment for UMass Chan-Employed Faculty (revised APP, Section 5.2.d)
