			 "Associated faculty": persons with clinical practice titles, adjunct titles,
			 visiting titles, and lecturer titles; also professors, associate professors,
			 assistant professors, and instructors who serve on appointments totaling less

			 clinical/teaching/practice, or research faculty titles may not hold associated
			 titles. Persons holding associated titles are not eligible for tenure and may

			 visiting titles, may be renewed.
(1) Clinical practice
			 faculty: The titles of clinical professor of practice, clinical associate
			 professor of practice, clinical assistant professor of practice, and clinical
			 instructor of practice shall be used to confer faculty status on individuals
			 who have credentials comparable to clinical faculty of equivalent rank and who
			 either provide significant, uncompensated service for which a faculty title is
			 needed or compensated service to the clinical instructional programs in the
			 colleges of the health sciences. Clinical practice appointments are made for
			 the period in which the service is provided. Renewal of no-salary appointments
			 is contingent upon continued significant contributions. Procedures for the
			 promotion of clinical practice faculty members shall be the same as for
			 promotion of clinical faculty.
(2) Visiting faculty:
			 The titles of visiting professor, visiting associate professor, and visiting
			 assistant professor, shall be used to confer faculty status on individuals who
			 have credentials comparable to tenure-track, clinical/teaching/practice or
			 research faculty of equivalent rank who spend a limited period of time on
			 formal appointment and in residence at this institution for purposes of
			 participating in the instructional and research programs of the university. A
			 visiting appointment cannot exceed three continuous academic years of
			 service.
(3) Adjunct faculty:
			 The titles of adjunct professor, adjunct associate professor, and adjunct
			 assistant professor, and adjunct instructor shall be used to confer faculty
			 status on individuals who have credentials comparable to tenure-track,
			 clinical/teaching/practice, or research faculty of equivalent rank, who provide
			 significant, service to the instructional and/or research programs of the
			 university and who need a faculty title to perform that service. Significant
			 service would include teaching the equivalent of one or more courses, advising
			 graduate students or serving on graduate committees, and serving as a
			 co-investigator on a research project. Such individuals may be either
			 nonuniversity employees or university employees compensated on a
			 noninstructional budget. Adjunct appointments are made for the period in which
			 the service is provided. Renewal of adjunct appointments is contingent upon
			 continued significant contributions. Procedures for the promotion of adjunct
			 faculty members shall be the same as for promotion of tenure,
			 clinical/teaching/practice, or research faculty.
(4) Lecturer: The
			 titles of lecturer and senior lecturer shall be used for all compensated
			 instructional appointments where other titles are not appropriate. Lecturers'
			 responsibilities are limited to teaching as defined in paragraph (A)(2) of rule
			 3335-6-02 of the Administrative
			 Code.
