Regardless of title, all uncompensated auxiliary appointments must entail a letter of offer stating the start and end date with the latter occuring no later than June 30 of the current fiscal year. Problems and misunderstandings arise when persons with an auxiliary appointment assume that the appointment is ongoing. Therefore it is essential that the letter of offer state not only the time limitations of the appointment but also the unit's policy on the circumstances in which such auxiliary faculty may identify themselves as Ohio State faculty. Abuses of auxiliary faculty titles occur. Adjunct appointments are made for the period in which the uncompensated service is provided, not to exceed one year .
Renewal is contingent upon continued significant contributions.
Compensation for services provided by adjunct faculty will only be approved in the rare instances when an individual who normally provides considerable uncompensated service takes on exceptional responsibility. Such compensation requires advance approval by the Office of Academic Affairs. Made for periods not to exceed one year. Entail no commitment to renew the appointment beyond that period. If a staff member requires a faculty title to perform her or his regular job, then that position should be a faculty rather than a staff position.
