What is a typical severance package for a staff position?
I work for a university. We are under a year-to-year contract. My contract was not renewed after almost 14 years of employment. I was a director for the university with good evaluations. There is no severance pay policy but I am told by HR that I can formally request one. What is fair to ask?

severance
There is no standard severance in Texas. If you make a proposal, remember that you should start higher than you will utlimately take. There may be some negotiating. I suggest you ask for a certain number of weeks per year, i.e. 3 or 4 weeks per year of service. I suggest you consult a local attorney to devise a strategy. If you have any underlying claims, you may be able to get more severance.
