Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3344 - Cleveland State University › Chapter 3344-12 - Personnel Policies › Section 3344-12-07 - Policies pertaining to adjunct professors

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Procedures for
			 appointment
Nominations for appointment to adjunct
				faculty status shall be made by joint recommendation of a peer review committee
				or its equivalent and a department chairperson. Nominations recommended by the
				dean shall be forwarded by him or her to the provost who shall appoint all
				nominees acceptable to him or her. Nominations should specify the appropriate
				rank (assistant associate, or full), depending on qualifications.
(B)
								Procedures for termination of an adjunct faculty
			 appointment
Recommendations for the termination of
				an adjunct faculty member's appointment may originate with the peer review
				committee, the chairperson, or the dean. Whatever the origin, the committee,
				the chairperson, and the dean shall consider the faculty member's
				qualifications and make recommendations to the provost. The provost shall
				consider the recommendations and forward them, together with personal
				recommendations, to the president for action.
(C)
								Privileges and
			 responsibilities
Since adjunct faculty meet essentially
				the same standards as regular status faculty, they may, upon mutual agreement,
				be assigned teaching and research duties comparable in kind to those assigned
				regular status faculty. Their service is considered to be part-time service;
				however, they shall not be assigned duties exceeding one-half of the duties of
				a full-time faculty member. Assignment of mutually agreed upon duties shall be
				at the convenience of the university. Adjunct faculty members have the same
				right as regular status faculty members to attend appropriate faculty meetings,
				whether these are committee, departmental, college, faculty senate, or
				university faculty meetings, and within the requirements of good order, to
				debate issues. They may serve on faculty committees and vote in faculty
				meetings only when provided for in relevant bylaws.
(D)
								Joint
			 appointment
Persons may be granted joint adjunct
				appointments to two or more departments, colleges, or academic units through
				the procedures for appointment in each such department, college, or academic
				unit.
(E)
								Graduate college membership
Adjunct faculty members may be selected
				for and removed from the faculty of the college of graduate studies according
				to the procedures establish in the bylaws of the college of graduate
				studies.
(F)
								Change of status
With mutual agreement between the
				university and an adjunct faculty member, the adjunct faculty member may be
				appointed to regular faculty status, following procedures for any new
				appointment.
(G)
								Tenure rights
Service as an adjunct faculty member
				does not accrue tenure rights such as the accumulation of tenure probation time
				served.
(H)
								Termination
Appointment to adjunct faculty status
				is predicated upon the mutual benefit derived for the university and the person
				appointed, especially including the opportunity for a person with special
				expertise to provide valued services to his or her profession and the community
				by sharing knowledge and collaborating in the search for knowledge. The
				appointment may be terminated by the adjunct faculty member or the university
				when, in the judgment of either party, the appointment is no longer mutually
				beneficial.
