18.0 II-1.10 - POLICY ON PART-TIME TENURE-TRACK AND PART-TIME TENURED FACULTY
 
 
  (Approved by the Board of Regents, April 26, 1990)
 
 
       An institution may employ tenure-track and tenured faculty
  members on a part-time basis.  In order to be considered
  tenure-track or to be granted tenure, a part-time faculty
  member's commitment shall be at least fifty percent time.
 
  1.   Each institution which employs part-time tenure-track and/or
       part-time tenured faculty shall develop written procedures
       for the appointment, promotion, and granting of tenure to
       such faculty.  Appointment, reappointment, tenure,
       promotion, and termination of part-time tenure-track and
       part-time tenured faculty members shall be consistent with
       the policies and procedures established for permanent
       full-time faculty members.
 
  2.   The length of the probationary period for tenure
       consideration shall ordinarily be based upon the number of
       full-time equivalent years accrued by the faculty member at
       the institution in a tenure-track rank.  Part-time
       tenure-track and part-time tenured faculty are eligible for
       full-time positions consistent with institutional policies.
 
  3.   Part-time tenure-track and part-time tenured faculty members
       shall be entitled to participate in the institution's
       benefit programs on a proportional basis or otherwise, as
       permitted by those programs.
