Non-Tenure-Track Faculty Sample Clauses
The Non-Tenure-Track Faculty clause defines the status, rights, and responsibilities of faculty members who are not on a tenure track within an academic institution. It typically outlines the terms of employment, such as contract duration, renewal procedures, and eligibility for benefits, and may specify limitations on job security or advancement compared to tenure-track positions. This clause ensures clarity regarding the employment conditions for non-tenure-track faculty, helping both the institution and the faculty members understand expectations and limitations associated with these roles.
Non-Tenure-Track Faculty instructional needs where the scope and duration of those needs are uncertain or are known to be of limited duration; or to fulfill highly specialized and occasional instructional needs. Associate Lecturers/Clinical Associate Lecturers may be appointed from outside the bargaining unit within the limitations placed by the provisions of 21.3 concerning “Additional Work for Part-Time NTT Faculty.”
ii. Associate Lecturers/Clinical Associate Lecturers may be appointed at greater than 50% time to meet departmental instructional needs, whether upon original hire or upon reappointment, within the limitations placed by the provisions of 21.3 concerning “Additional Work for Part-Time NTT Faculty.” Temporary increases in FTE of this type will not result in a change in title or rate of pay.
iii. In such case as an Associate Lecturer/Clinical Associate Lecturer has served at 50% FTE or higher for four consecutive semesters, their title shall be converted to Lecturer, and effective as of the start of the semester following that conversion they shall receive a salary increase to the applicable salary floor for Lecturers (unless their salary already exceeds that floor). The four semesters of continuous service at 50% or greater in the title of Associate Lecturer/Clinical Associate Lecturer that led to this conversion shall be counted toward the faculty member’s eligibility for continuing appointment. All service in the title of Associate Lecturer/Clinical Associate Lecturer shall be counted toward the converted faculty member’s eligibility for promotion to Senior Lecturer/Clinical Senior Lecturer, with the stipulation that an Associate Lecturer/Clinical Associate Lecturer converted to Lecturer/Clinical Lecturer shall not be eligible for the title of Senior Lecturer/Clinical Senior Lecturer without at least three years of full-time-equivalent service in the rank of Lecturer/Clinical Lecturer.
