ii. Suspension
The provost may determine that the suspension of the faculty member from his/her teaching and/or other duties, with or without pay, during the formal proceedings is necessary to avoid immediate harm to the faculty member or to others or to the Institute. Regardless of suspension, paid benefits shall continue during a suspension. If the faculty member is suspended without pay, and the decision of the provost or the board of trustees is favorable to the faculty member, the faculty member shall receive retroactive pay for the period of suspension.
