				rule 3361:50-3-03
				of the Administrative Code.
(A)
			 Field service series appointments:
Individuals holding appointments whose primary responsibility
				does not involve regular classroom instruction and for whom other qualified
				faculty titles are inappropriate. Field service faculty often interact with
				agencies or communities outside the university or contribute in special ways to
				departmental excellence in education, research, or patient care. Field service
				faculty may also contribute to the teaching, scholarly, and service missions of
				the academic unit, expectations for which may be described in their letters of
				appointment and in their unit reappointment and promotion criteria.
(B) Clinical series appointments:
Individuals holding appointments whose primary responsibility
				is patient care, patient support, and/or teaching and program development in
				the clinical sciences. Clinical faculty may also contribute to clinical
				research, the scholarly and service missions of the university, administrative
				service, and other educational activities, expectations for which may be
				described in their letters of appointment and in their unit reappointment and
				promotion criteria.
(C)
			 Research series appointments:
Individuals holding appointments whose primary responsibility
				is research, which typically includes the generation of external funding and
				publication in peer-reviewed publications. Research faculty may also contribute
				to the pedagogical and service missions of the university, expectations for
				which may be described in their letters of appointment and in their unit
				reappointment and promotion criteria.
(D) Affiliated series appointments:
Individuals holding appointments in academic departments and
				colleges whose professional assignment is conditional upon the existence of a
				signed affiliation agreement between the university and the affiliated faculty
				member's employer under which the employer is responsible for at least half the
				affiliated faculty member's compensation may hold regular faculty or academic
				titles preceded by the term "affiliated."
(E) Educator series appointments:
Individuals holding appointments whose primary responsibility
				is in the pedagogical mission of their unit. Educator series faculty may also
				contribute to the development, administration, and operation of instructional
				programs, to the scholarship of teaching and learning or of their academic
				discipline, and to the service missions of the university, expectations for
				which may be described in their letters of appointment and in their unit
				reappointment and promotion criteria.
(F) Practice series appointments:
Individuals holding appointments whose primary responsibility
				is specialized instruction based on their professional experience outside of
				the university. Practice series faculty may also contribute to the scholarly
				and service missions of the university, expectations for which may be described
				in their letters of appointment and in their unit reappointment and promotion
				criteria.
(G) Other
			 qualified title appointments - adjunct, visiting, volunteer, lecturer or
			 clinical:
Individuals who hold part-time or temporary appointments or who
				serve on a volunteer basis may hold regular faculty or academic titles preceded
				by "adjunct," "visiting," or "volunteer," or the title of lecturer. In the
				college of medicine, such individuals may also hold regular faculty titles
				above the rank of instructor with the insertion of, or preceded by, "clinical"
				(for example, associate clinical professor). The terms of these appointments
				may vary according to the needs of the university. Notice of reappointment/
				nonreappointment is not required.
(H) Notice and terms of appointment,
			 reappointment and nonreappointment shall be given to each individual in writing
			 by the dean of the college or school concerned or by the appropriate vice
			 president.
