3.5.3 Special-Status Appointment Terms

Instructional faculty hired in special-status positions will not be considered for tenure unless they are appointed to a tenure-track position through normal faculty search procedures. Special-status faculty may work full-time or part-time and are appointed for a specific period. Renewal is at the discretion of the College; special status appointments carry no guarantee of renewal.

Special appointments may be made without the usual search procedures but must be made in the spirit of equal employment opportunity. All special-status faculty are evaluated annually according to the standards of the school in which they teach.
