4.1.3 Adjunct Faculty Appointments (From New College Faculty Handbook)
"From time to time, as deemed appropriate to provide for the teaching of specific courses or other group studies that meet specific curricular needs, the College appoints adjunct faculty. In general, the College does not rely heavily on adjunct appointments. An adjunct faculty member's letter of appointment specifies the course(s) and/or other endeavor(s) to be taught. An adjunct appointment letter is for one semester or less or one January Interterm. Adjunct faculty teach only the activity or activities specified in the appointment letter and do not (unless specified in the letter) offer tutorials, independent reading projects, or the like. Adjunct faculty do not vote in divisional or faculty meetings. They do not sponsor contracts or senior theses/projects. They do
not serve on baccalaureate committees except as the third or fourth member when specified in the appointment letter. All such appointments need to be approved by a Division vote. Because adjuncts are employed for highly specific purposes, such as for the teaching of one course that complements the regular offerings of the faculty, their credentials, while generally of the same level as the regular faculty's, may be highly specific to the subject matter in question. Thus, while a Juris Doctor or a Master of Public Administration might not qualify as appropriate terminal degrees for regular faculty positions at New College, they may be appropriate for an adjunct appointment."
