A faculty member requesting a hearing shall, within ten business days of receiving the statement of reasons for termination, make the request in writing to the Associate Vice Chancellor for Employee Services. Each college shall have a standing nine-member faculty hearing committee pool (“faculty pool”). The tenured and tenure track full-time faculty of each college shall elect nine members from among their number at that college...The hearing committee may affirm the termination or recommend disciplinary action based upon the progressive discipline principles set forth in College District policy and procedures... The Chancellor shall review the (Tenured Faculty Termination Appeals Committee's) report(s) and submit the hearing committee's report(s) and decision to the Board along with the Chancellor's recommendation for sustaining or overruling the committee's decision... The Board shall then render a final decision sustaining or overruling the recommendation of the hearing committee."
