VISITING
FACULTY APPOINTMENTS
Visiting appointments to the Earlham faculty provide
staffing on a short term basis. Sometimes these are occasioned by
the need to replace faculty on sabbaticals or another kind of leave.
They may also fill positions resulting from grant-funded special activities
or when there is not time to have launched a national search appropriate
for a tenure-track appointment.
Visiting faculty have contracts which extend only
for one semester or one year or another term specified in the contract
and letter of appointment. There is no presumption that visiting
faculty will be considered for renewal of contract beyond the term
originally specified.
Visiting faculty are provided benefits appropriate
to the terms of their appointment (full time or adjunct) and the
duration of their contract. For details, consult the sections of
the Policies
and Procedures part of this document which deal with benefits.
Visiting faculty are encouraged to have their courses
evaluated, using the Earlham form or approved substitute form (see
Handbook Section E). If the faculty member were to apply for
a subsequent vacancy at Earlham, the past student evaluation forms
would be required as part of the application materials. |
