VIII.D   Appointments

Proposed appointments above the rank of lecturer will be reviewed by a committee appointed by the Dean and composed of a chair and two or more members of the faculty representing different areas of study. The committee will forward recommendations to the Dean, who will then forward them to the Provost for review.

Recommendations on appointments to the rank of professor adjunct and associate professor adjunct will be made by the Provost with the advice of the School's Standing Advisory and Appointments Committee (SAAC). The Provost will forward approved recommendations to the Corporation.

Recommendations for appointments of assistant professor adjunct, associate professor adjunct, and professor adjunct will be made only after an advertised national search has been conducted with regard to the position.

1. Term of Appointments. Initial appointments are normally made for one year. The Dean, in consultation with the faculty of the appropriate departments, makes reappointments for terms of one to five years following a review.

2. Notice of Termination. Faculty members will be given notice of non-reappointment in accordance with Section III.G above.
