  • Job Summary:
    Specifies persons from a non-instructional institution and persons whose professional career is primarily outside of University instruction. Must be performing primarily instructional activities. In some circumstances the title may be appropriate for those whose full-time continuing teaching assignments are practicum-oriented. All new appointments to adjunct titles must have the prior approval of the Dean/Director of the division. Requests for such approval must indicate why an adjunct rather than a non-adjunct instructional title is appropriate. Such requests must be accompanied by a professional biography of the candidate. Use of this title is subject to semi-annual audit by the Office of Human Resources. Modified professorial functions have four prefixes or levels: Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor. The specific definition of each level for professorial academic staff titles is left to the purview of each unit in which the title is employed. However, differences between successively higher title levels must reflect demonstrable differences in experience and knowledge gained, applied to the specific duties of the function.
