The statements below are to be used as guidelines with the respect to the appointment and promotion of adjunct faculty.
Adjunct appointments are courtesy appointments.
Adjunct faculty cannot be paid. Adjunct faculty cannot earn tenure. The appointing unit must review an adjunct appointment every three years and through personnel reports indicate if the adjunct appointment is to continue beyond the three-year period. Appointments of adjunct faculty must be processed in the same way as regular faculty appointments. While searches and EEO approval are not necessary, faculty members in the appointing unit must vote approval of the adjunct appointment.
