FACULTY CODE
Revised: October 2, 1997
APPENDIX A
A memorandum of agreement - clarifying terms and conditions
of employment of Instructors as defined in Chapter
II, Part A, Section 2, "Categories of Faculty."
(p.7).
- Instructor appointments occur only in departments,
schools or programs where class load requires teaching
service greater than can be accommodated by an appropriate
distribution of lower and upper level teaching assignments
among the department's tenure-line faculty. Such load distribution
will be agreed upon by the department and the dean,
subject to annual review by the Academic Standards
Committee.
- Because instructors are to be utilized teaching lower
level or prerequisite courses where teaching skills
are of prime importance, academic preparation, search
procedures, performance standards and compensation
are comparable to tenure-line faculty teaching similar courses.
- Instructors' roles, rights and responsibilities are
the same as those of career faculty as described in
this code with the exception that they are not eligible
for promotion, do not have tenure, but can be continued
with annual contracts beyond 7 years.
