USE OF PART TIME FACULTY

It is agreed that the use of part-time faculty influences the workload of bargaining unit members and the quality of education offered by the University. Therefore, the following principles are used to guide the use of part-time appointees:

The use of part-time appointees to teach in the following circumstances is acceptable:

(a) to replace full-time faculty members on leave;

(b) to replace full-time faculty members with temporary time-bought situations or temporary special assignments;

(c) to teach courses full-time faculty are not qualified to teach, or to provide enrichment, diversity or balance for departmental curricula;

(d) to establish or maintain liaison with commercial or professional organizations relevant to student employment.

The use of part-time appointees in the following qualified circumstances is acceptable:

(a) to supervise field work or clinical or laboratory experience beyond that which can be accommodated to the workload of the full-time faculty;

(b) to teach courses full-time faculty are able to teach only when:

1. there is a temporary open full-time line and a search is in progress;
2. there is a short-term bulge in student demand beyond that which can be met by full-time faculty.
