The bumping process involves several steps, where a laid-off full-time faculty member can displace other employees in the following order, provided they have more seniority and are qualified for the position:
- Another full-time faculty member in the same classification (instructor, professor, counsellor, or librarian).
- A full-time faculty member in another classification.
- Two partial-load faculty members.
- One partial-load faculty member and one or more part-time faculty members.
- One partial-load faculty member while engaging in retraining activities.
- A sessional faculty member (who has more than 90 days remaining on their term).
- A part-time faculty member.
