§ 6210. Non-Instructional positions. 1. All persons hereafter

appointed to serve in non-instructional positions in the city university

shall be appointed for the probationary period of one year during which

the service of a person appointed to any such position may be

discontinued by the board of trustees at any time. All persons employed

in the non-instructional service of the board of trustees who have

served the full probationary period shall hold their respective

positions during good behavior and efficient and competent service, and

shall not be removed except for cause after a hearing by the affirmative

vote of a majority of the board of trustees.

The board of trustees shall provide, by appropriate by-laws, for the

presentation of charges, the reference thereof to a committee of the

board of trustees or to others for hearings, the conduct of such

hearings, and the report thereof on the basis of which the board of

trustees shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable.

A person who had acquired tenure in a position with the board of

trustees and who is promoted therefrom to a higher position shall be

fully restored to his lower position and tenure therein in the event his

service is discontinued by the board of trustees during his probationary

period in such higher position; upon restoration to such original

position the time such person served in the higher position shall be

credited for all purposes as if such service had been rendered in the

original position.

assistant B and college secretarial assistant B) and group III

hundred twenty, shall be filled, as far as practicable, by promotion

from among persons holding positions in the lower grades listed in group

I (college office assistant A and college secretarial assistant A) and

twenty, respectively. Promotions shall be made by the board of trustees

from group I and from group II of the aforesaid item number sixteen so

that of the total regularly employed in such three groups, not more than

forty per centum of the total in the three groups shall be employed in

group I and not less than fifteen per centum of the said total shall be
