3335-5-19 Faculty.
As used in these rules the term "faculty" shall include persons appointed by the board of trustees with regular tenure-track, regular clinical, regular research, auxiliary, and emeritus faculty titles on full- or part-time appointments, with or without salary.
(A) "Regular tenure-track faculty": persons with the titles of professor, associate professor, assistant professor, and instructor who serve on appointments totaling fifty per cent or more service to the university.
(B) "Regular clinical faculty": Regular clinical faculty serve under fixed term contracts and are not eligible for tenure. Regular clinical faculty appointments are described in Chapter 3335-7 of the Administrative Code.
(C) “Regular research faculty”: Regular research faculty serve under fixed term contracts and are not eligible for tenure. Regular research faculty appointments are described in Chapter 3335-7 of the Administrative Code.
(D) "Auxiliary faculty": persons with adjunct titles, clinical titles, visiting titles, and lecturer titles; also professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and instructors who serve on appointments totaling less than fifty per cent service to the university. Persons with regular faculty titles may not hold auxiliary titles. Persons holding auxiliary titles are not eligible for tenure, may not vote at any level of governance, and may not participate in promotion and tenure matters.
(1) The titles of adjunct professor, adjunct associate professor, adjunct assistant professor, and adjunct instructor shall be used to confer faculty status on individuals who have credentials comparable to regular faculty of equivalent rank, who provide significant, uncompensated service to the instructional and/or research programs of the university and who need a faculty title to perform that service. Significant service would include teaching the equivalent of one or more courses, advising graduate students or serving on graduate committees, and serving as a co-investigator on a research project. Such individuals may be either nonuniversity employees or university employees compensated on a noninstructional budget. Adjunct appointments are made for the period in which the uncompensated service is provided not to exceed one year; renewal is contingent upon continued significant contributions. Procedures for the promotion of adjunct faculty members shall be the same as for promotion of regular faculty.
(2) The titles of clinical professor, clinical associate professor, clinical assistant professor, and clinical instructor shall be used to confer faculty status on individuals who have credentials comparable to regular clinical faculty of equivalent rank and who either provide significant, uncompensated service for which a faculty title is needed or compensated service to the clinical instructional programs in the colleges of the health sciences. Clinical appointments are made for the period in which the service is provided not to exceed one year. Renewal of no-salary appointments is contingent upon continued significant contributions. Procedures for the promotion of clinical faculty members shall be the same as for promotion of regular clinical faculty.
(3) The titles of visiting professor, visiting associate professor, visiting assistant professor, and visiting instructor shall be used to confer faculty status on individuals who have credentials comparable to regular faculty of equivalent rank who spend a limited period of time on formal appointment and in residence at this institution for purposes of participating in the instructional and research programs of the university. A visiting appointment cannot exceed three continuous academic years of service.
(4) The titles of lecturer and senior lecturer shall be used for all compensated instructional appointments where other titles are not appropriate. Lecturers' responsibilities shall be limited to formal course instruction.
(E) "Emeritus faculty": regular tenure-track, regular clinical faculty, or regular research faculty who, upon retirement, were recommended by the chair, the dean and the executive vice president and provost for emeritus status. Emeritus faculty may not vote at any level of governance and may not participate in promotion and tenure matters but may have such other privileges as individual academic units or the office of human resources may provide.
