Staffs have the right to end their work relationship with Texas A&M University-Kingsville, with or without advance notice or cause. Texas A&M University-Kingsville has the same right.
No staff handbook can anticipate every circumstance or question. After reading the material, if you have questions, please talk with your immediate supervisor or the Human Resources Director.
