Committee Purpose/Charge

The committee will develop and maintain a process to prioritize the needs for contract faculty positions annually. Every year, as part of program review, programs can request that a new faculty member be hired. This Committee will use an Academic Senate-approved process to review all of the requests, apply the approved rubric, and develop a prioritized list annually. The Committee will also determine a process to manage positions that have been vacated for any reason.

Committee Responsibilities

  • Develop and recommend to the Academic Senate a process, including a rubric, for the prioritization of new contract faculty positions and for replacement of vacated positions.
  • Assist faculty with the submission of proposals/ forms for faculty positions that arise from Program Review.
  • Using the approved process, review proposals and create a prioritized list for contract faculty positions annually.
