Message: [QUOTE="Jaybird65, post: 2647470, member: 7794"] He does if that position is slotted into the AAUP family of positions identified as covered by their collective bargaining unit; I doubt the AAUP would give that position up. Randy Edsall is a member of the AAUP From the AAUP UConn webpage: [SIZE=4][B][B]SPECIALIST A TITLES[/B][/B][/SIZE] Specialist A titles include: Specialist IVA, Specialist IIIA, Specialist IIA and Specialist IA (high to low). These are non-tenure track titles for coaches and trainers in the Division of Athletics. The individual’s title is determined by his/her experience, salary requirements and marketability. The terms of appointment for these positions are specified in the AAUP collective bargaining agreement (see below). Individuals may be hired and/or renewed for multiple year contracts. However, the appointment terms of assistant coaches may not be longer than that of their head coach. In cases where a head coach has a five year appointment, the appointment terms of assistant coaches may vary within the limits of that five year appointment. Article 13.6 of the AAUP Collective Bargaining Agreement reads in part: “. . . . Head coaches and assistant coaches may be hired and/or renewed for multiple year contracts. However, in no case may an assistant coach be hired or renewed for a term longer than the head coach in his/her sport.” “In those instances where a head coach has a five-year appointment, the assistant coaches in that sport may be appointed to varying employment terms which coincide with the employment term of the head coach. When a head coach leaves for any reason before the end of his/her contract, assistant coaches may be terminated. If the decision is to terminate the assistant coach(es), he/she shall continue to be employed until the end of the academic year (June 30) or receive six months’ notice (or salary in lieu thereof), whichever is longer.” [/QUOTE]
