a college, in the case of a college, to reduce the number of professors, associate

supervisor, registrar, teacher, or other person employed in a teaching capacity under
tenure be dismissed as a result of such reduction, such person shall be and remain
upon a preferred eligible list in the order of years of service for reemployment,
whenever vacancies occur, and shall be reemployed by the commissioner in such order,
