Higher Education Employment Contract Terms

Type Bill
Session 2017 Regular Session
Subjects
Higher Education Labor & Employment

Concerning employment contracts for positions at institutions of higher education that are funded by revenue generated from auxiliary activities.

Bill Summary:

Under current law, institutions of higher education are limited in the number and length of term employment contracts or contract extensions that the institution can award. In addition, institutions are prohibited from providing postemployment compensation or benefits to a government-supported employee after the individual's employment has ended, except in limited situations and in limited amounts. Further, under current law, the terms of government-supported employment contracts are generally available for public inspection.

For state institutions of higher education, the bill exempts the institution's employee positions that are funded by revenues generated through auxiliary activities, as defined in the bill, from the provisions of current law.
