 Hey @jnhghy,

 I went through in an attempt to reproduce. Here is a rundown of what I did
 trying to see if the post slug would disappear or if I would be blocked
 from updating the post slug as a contributor

 1. Save test post as a draft as contributor.

 2. Changed the title and the post slug updated successfully. Save post as
 pending review.

 3. Logged in as admin. Published test post. The title and post slug
 changes persist. Now signing out to edit title and slug as a contributor.

 4. Unpublished as admin, logged in as contributor, still able to edit both
 the title and post slug and both persist on save draft. Not able to
 reproduce this error.

 Could you provide some more steps on how you're running into this issue?
 Have you tested this on vanilla WP? For the installation where you're
 seeing this issue are there any other plugins dealing with permissions?

 Thanks!
