XIV.H   Courtesy Faculty

Courtesy faculty are generally individuals in the community or from other Yale departments who actively participate in the School of Nursing's educational or scholarly activities. They are not normally remunerated for these activities. Eligibility for appointment, reappointment, and promotion in these voluntary ranks requires active participation in programs at the School of Nursing or at affiliated institutions. The School of Nursing uses the criteria for appointment to academic rank as guidelines for determining the rank of courtesy faculty. These criteria may include guidelines for the nature of required participation, such as the relative importance of teaching and precepting students, scholarship, and participation in the School's administrative and other activities. Appointments and determination of the rank and length of the appointment are the responsibility of the Dean.
