UNIVERSITY POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the University to appoint visiting
faculty, visiting scientists and post-doctoral faculty
to supplement its workforce of regular tenure-track
and tenured faculty. Such individuals must
hold a terminal degree, and the appointments are
of a temporary nature. Offers of employment
do not become effective until the Board of Regents
approves the appointment.
UNIVERSITY PRACTICE:
The provost makes final recommendations to the
Board of Regents for all regular faculty appointments. All
employing departments are responsible for properly
informing any “new employee,” whom they
wish to bring into the job prior to the Board of
Regents’ approval, that such employment is
subject to the final approval of the Board.
The position of visiting professor, visiting associate
professor or visiting assistant professor normally
will be offered only to those who hold rank as a
faculty member at another college or university. Visiting
scientists and post-doctoral faculty normally work
on externally supported research projects.
No individual may hold a position as a visiting
faculty member, visiting scientist or post-doctoral
faculty member for more than two years.
Conditions of employment for visiting faculty members,
visiting scientists, and post-doctoral faculty members
are administered in accordance with policies and
practices promulgated by the provost.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION
The provost and vice president for academic affairs
is responsible for the overall implementation, administration
and interpretation of this policy. The assistant
vice president for academic affairs is responsible
for the daily administration of all academic personnel
policies.
SCOPE OF POLICY COVERAGE
This policy applies to all visiting faculty members,
visiting scientists and post-doctoral faculty members
of the University.
