Yes. Administrators serve at the pleasure of their supervisors. That is how the nine deans were dumped last year. That is how Hanbury was "canned." Usually, they keep their salary until the end of the contract period. Tenured faculty return to their home department.

Thanks Flash. I suspected that was the case. So in a perfect world, from an economic perspective, it would be advantageous to can the Dvoraks and their ilk near the end of their contract terms (like now), so as to minimize the disbursement of university monies for work not done, as is the case with Hanbury. Is it correct to assume these admin staffers have academic year, annually renewable contracts?

Somebody who knows how things are done at MSU will have to specify what kinds of contracts MSU administrators are on.

Hanbury's was obviously a one-year contract.

Admin types at USM tend to be on a fiscal year starting July 1. Contracts are for one year under normal circumstances for most people, and they are renewed each year by the supervisor. Football coaches and presidents are different.
