Procedure for the Selection of Faculty for Temporary (One-Year) Hires in Tenure Track Positions

Selection of Full-Time Temporary Faculty

When there is insufficient time or funds to fill the position with a search as defined in Article 7.1 of the ÃÛÑ¿app-NFA Contract, a search for a temporary faculty member may be made with the agreement of the ÃÛÑ¿app-NFA President or their designee and with the approval of the Dean, the Vice President, and the President. A temporary full-time faculty position shall be advertised for at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the date the position is closed. If the search for a temporary faculty position is not known until after July 1 for Fall Semester or November 15 for Spring Semester, a ten-day period of advertisement may occur if approved by the Dean.

  1. Full-time temporary hires may be rehired beyond one year only if necessary, based on a budgetary or programmatic reason that precludes conducting a tenure-track hire. Any extension of the one-year hire must be justified in writing annually and approved by the Vice President and the President in agreement with ÃÛÑ¿app-NFA. Temporary (multi-year) academic positions may be hired on grant or contract related requirements and commitments. These positions shall be approved within the college’s budgetary process.
  2. Except under unusual circumstances, a search committee will be utilized as described in Article 7.1 to hire temporary full-time faculty. The Vice President may waive this requirement, but only after consultation with the Dean and agreement with the ÃÛÑ¿app-NFA. Any request for a waiver shall include clear reasons for it.
  3. Given the temporary status of this position, the search process will use a reasonable and economical means to seek qualified candidates, including advertising and travel stipend for candidates except in special circumstances and where additional funds are available.

Selection of Full-Time Emergency Temporary Faculty

In the very unusual circumstances that a position needs to be filled less than 15 working days before the start of a semester, the Dean, with agreement of ÃÛÑ¿app-NFA, may approve an emergency temporary hire. All requirements in 7.1 and 7.2 may be waived at the discretion of the Dean with approval of the Vice President and in agreement with the ÃÛÑ¿app-NFA President or designee. Due to the emergency status of the replacement, the department may utilize the existing pool to fill the vacancy and make the recommendation to the Dean for approval.
