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 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.
