The employer bears the burden of proving that a claimant had reasonable assurance of re-employment under G.L. c. 151A, § 28A.  Here, the employer did not present historical evidence demonstrating a long-term pattern of hiring the adjunct professor to teach 2 courses every fall and 4 courses every spring term.  Therefore, its offer of 2 courses for the fall semester did not constitute reasonable assurance.
