ARTICLE 6 - FUNDING
1. Insufficient funds due to external reasons.
Should sufficient funds be unavailable, whether due to
statutory changes or for other externally imposed reasons,
the Board may prospectively suspend for that fiscal year, or
portion thereof, provisions of this agreement that have an
economic or monetary effect and that the Board determines
cannot be funded. The Board will give advance notice to the
Association as soon as possible, and either party may reopen
this agreement for negotiations. By May 1, if the College
anticipates the potential for an insufficiency of funds, it
will so notify the Association and the
negotiations will commence as soon as possible. The parties
will make every effort to complete the bargaining and
dispute resolution process before the start of school. If
the Board subsequently determines that sufficient funds have
become available to fully fund the affected provisions,
those provisions will be put into effect retroactively to
the start of that fiscal year.
2. Reprioritizing. In the event of (1)
significant decline in student demand for courses, (2)
internal policies or decisions or mutually recognized
opportunities which significantly affect funding, internal
resources, or student demand, or (3) significant increases
in funding due to statutory or other externally imposed
reasons, the College and Association shall meet to discuss
potential solutions and/or other responses to the
situation.
