XII.M   Coterminous Appointments

A faculty appointment in any rank or track may be coterminous with an appointment at another affiliated institution, e.g., Yale‑New Haven Hospital, the Veterans Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System, Connecticut Mental Health Center, or the John B. Pierce Laboratory. Coterminous appointments are designated such at the time of appointment, reappointment, or promotion and upon approval of the Dean.

A coterminous appointment normally ends automatically upon termination of the other institutional appointment, without any notice, grievance rights, or similar provisions otherwise afforded by the Faculty Handbook . However, at the time of appointment, the Dean, at the request of the chair of the candidate's department, may offer a period of notice beyond the termination date of the other institution's appointment not to exceed two years for those at the ranks of professor or associate professor without term, or for one year for a faculty member at any other rank.

An appointment coterminous with a Pierce Laboratory appointment will carry all of the rights and responsibilities of a department appointment, with the exception of voting privileges. Voting privileges may be granted to them by the professors and tenured associate professors in the non-voluntary ranks of the department of primary and, where applicable, secondary appointment. At least one faculty member with a primary appointment in the department of the proposed appointment and with experience pertinent to the proposed appointment will be a member, with vote, of each Pierce Laboratory search committee.
