ARTICLE XXIV

Faculty members who are requested to report to court in person in response to an involuntary subpoena or in response to a jury duty summons, or who are required to report for jury examination or qualification, or who are required to serve on a jury, shall receive their regular salary with no loss of other benefits during these absences. The faculty member shall perform his or her duties as set forth in this Agreement during the period of his or her absence because of court appearances to the extent practicable.
During the first five (5) working days of court appearance, the faculty members in the affected department shall cover the professional assignments of the faculty member involved to the extent possible. Thereafter, if the court appearance continues beyond the initial five (5) working day period, the Board shall secure a suitable replacement for the faculty member in accordance with the provisions of Article X of this Agreement.
In areas of expertise having five or fewer faculty members and if the department indicates its inability to cover the Board shall, without delay, secure a suitable replacement for the faculty member in accordance with the provisions of Article X of this Agreement.
