REVERSION

• Those academic staff members who are successful in being appointed under subclauses 31.24 and 31.25 may choose to revert to their previous academic profile, in which case the reversion will take effect from the next academic year or, where agreed by the Dean, at an earlier time. 
• Transitioned roles can thus continue indefinitely, but it is expected that the staff member will indicate clearly to their supervisor in their annual workload discussions that they wish to continue in the transitioned profile if this is the case.
