II - 1.03 - UNIVERSITY SYSTEM POLICY ON CONCURRENT FACULTY AND
ADMINISTRATIVE APPOINTMENTS
(Approved by the Board of Regents, July 7, 2000)
1. Each faculty member appointed to a concurrent administrative
position shall receive a formal letter of appointment.
a. Any faculty member who is appointed to a concurrent
administrative position shall receive a formal letter of
appointment separate from his or her faculty contract or
appointment letter.
b. A person who is simultaneously appointed to a faculty
position and a concurrent administrative position shall receive a
separate contract or appointment letter for each position.
c. A serving administrator who is appointed to a concurrent
faculty position shall receive a faculty contract or
appointment letter separate from his or her
administrative appointment letter.
2. A faculty member who holds a concurrent administrative
position serves in that position at the pleasure of the
appointing authority unless otherwise specified in the
appointment letter. For such faculty members, termination of the
administrative appointment does not affect faculty status.
3. Appointment letters for concurrent administrative positions
shall:
a. State that the appointee serves at the pleasure of the
appointing authority or, if that is not the case, state the term
of the appointment;
b. State any additional salary and other forms of compensation
to be paid the appointee for serving in the concurrent
administrative position and the salary calculation method to be
used upon termination of the concurrent administrative
appointment. (Institutions shall determine their own systems for
converting salaries.);
c. State whether the time spent in the concurrent
administrative position shall count toward eligibility
for sabbatical leave (The letter shall indicate that
approval of sabbatical leave is a separate issue from
accrual of years of eligibility toward sabbatical
leave.);
d. Identify the applicable Board of Regents' and
institutional policies on the accrual of annual, sick,
and personal leave;
e. State, for tenure-track faculty members, whether or not
the time in the concurrent administrative position counts
as time toward promotion and/or tenure;
f. State whether or not the time in the concurrent
administrative position is included or excluded when
schedules of comprehensive review of tenured faculty are
determined; and
g. Indicate which faculty rights (e.g., voting rights) the
person shall have, if any.
