Startup funding provided to faculty at the time of hire comes with an expiration date indicated in the faculty member's offer letter. Funds that are not expended by the expiration date will be reclaimed by the College and distributed as follows:

1. A pro-rated share based on the department's original contribution to the account will be returned to the department.
2. Remaining funds will be returned to the College.

For pre-tenure faculty, each tenure-clock extension will add one year to the expiration deadline for startup funds.
