(b) The employee shall fulfill over the course of each year of participation in the program the appropriate pro rata share of his or her employment obligations and service contributions, including teaching, advisement, committee service, or other assignments which would have been required had the employee continued on a full-time basis.

(c) Once an employee is authorized to reduce full-time employment to a percentage specified in subdivision (a), the employee may not revoke such reduced employment and return to full-time employment or any fraction thereof without the approval of the campus President or designee.
