A term appointment is for a fixed number of semesters, not to exceed fourteen (14) semesters (excluding summer semesters), and does not lead to tenure. The type of appointment shall be clearly identified in the faculty member’s letter of appointment. The criteria for appointment to a term appointment shall be the same as for appointment to a ranked tenure-track appointment. The College appoints faculty to one of the following: Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor.
