Common use of Temporary Two-Year Positions Clause in Contracts

Temporary Two-Year Positions. This clause applies to instructional faculty only. Faculty selected for teaching teams in Liberal Studies will consist of regular faculty, and, possibly, temporary two-year appointments made from existing or new temporary faculty. Because of the unique nature of the teaching teams, and the need for balancing of gender, discipline and other elements on the team, temporary seniority will not apply to Liberal Studies. However, in the case where a temporary faculty member teaching in some other area accepts an offer of a two-year temporary appointment in Liberal Studies, that faculty member will continue to accumulate temporary seniority in the original department, during the two-year Liberal Studies appointment.
