3.10.1.D - Joint Appointments for Non-Tenure Track Lecturers and Senior Lecturers

If a non-tenure track lecturer, senior lecturer, or principal lecturer has a joint appointment in two or more academic departments or across two or more divisions, a joint appointment agreement (Memorandum of Understanding; MOU) must be developed. This agreement must delineate how the home unit and the sharing unit(s) will provide input during the promotion process. The joint appointment agreement must specify who can provide input into the faculty member’s annual and promotion review and who will write the review(s). Normally, the chair of the academic home department will be responsible for completing annual reviews. The joint appointment agreement must also specify the composition of the promotion committee and how members of the committee will be elected.
