Non-Regular Type 2 Faculty Members Clause Samples

The 'Non-Regular Type 2 Faculty Members' clause defines the status and terms of employment for faculty who do not hold regular, tenure-track positions and are classified as Type 2. This clause typically outlines the criteria for this classification, such as contract duration, teaching load, eligibility for benefits, and expectations regarding participation in departmental activities. By clearly distinguishing these faculty members from regular or other non-regular types, the clause ensures transparency in employment terms and helps both the institution and the faculty understand their rights and obligations, thereby reducing misunderstandings and disputes.
Non-Regular Type 2 Faculty Members. A non-regular Type 2 faculty member is one who is assigned or reasonably anticipated to be assigned an annualized workload of 50% or greater for a future 12-month period. There is one assessment date: August 1 for the 12 month period starting September 1. The purpose of this assessment date is to determine whether a Type 1 non-regular faculty member should be offered a Type 2 appointment. It shall not prevent the Employer from establishing non- regular Type 2 positions with different appointment terms or commencement dates in accordance with the Employer’s needs. It is the responsibility of non-regular faculty who are on the “qualified faculty list” in more than one discipline/program to notify the relevant administrator(s) of this fact at the time work is offered to them by the administrator(s). It is the responsibility of the administrator(s) who have been so notified to check if the workload assigned across disciplines/programs would qualify as Type 2.
