  1. How I nearly prematurely terminated my career …and how MAUT saved it Dr. Robert Scott Kiss Associate Professor McGill University

  2. What if… • Seatbelts, travel health insurance • We don’t expect to have trouble during the tenure track, but it happens • Don’t expect the administration to be on your side

  3. Well, it happened. • Wife had difficult pregnancy • Project did not go smoothly • Graduate students did not work hard in my absence • I did not apply for a leave of absence

  4. What do I do now? • DTC negative decision – they will understand if I explain it to them • UTC negative decision – why don’t they understand me • Then I called MAUT • Provost negative decision – Holy crap, I am up the creek. Why was I so stupid to not call them earlier?

  5. MAUT knows what to do • Prepared Appeal document • Provided legal advice • Set me up with advisor – Dr. Gowrisankaran • Followed through with 3 levels of appeal

  6. Dodged a bullet • Final Appeal decision came back positively • A lot of personal issues involved, a lot of legal and administrative wrangling • But, I couldn’t have succeeded without MAUT
