Adjunct appointments, therefore, are necessarily part-time. An adjunct appointee does not participate in faculty governance in the unit in which an adjunct appointment is held. The Academic Handbook has no provisions governing joint appointments, and this may need to be rectified. E. Academic Specialist Appointments Appointees with academic responsibilities who do not themselves offer courses for credit or act as principal investigators in research. The published academic regulations for each campus shall maintain a list of titles that fall within this classification.
Eligibility requires continuing progress towards a degree.
Student appointments are necessarily part-time. This provision, which will be a substantial change in policy, applies to all appointment classifications which would otherwise be full time. The Committee believes that those who contribute to the academic mission in a continuing relationship to a unit should have a status appropriate to their work and responsibilities. The provision implies no policy that there should be part-time appointees in any classification. The most common application of this provision will be to Lecturer Appointments.
