Adjunct and Short-term
...
The university also employs adjunct and short-term faculty. Appointment of adjunct and short-term faculty is made by the respective dean, with recommendation by the program faculty as appropriate. Short-term and adjunct faculty are a valuable resource and are encouraged to participate as fully as possible in program activities in addition to their primary teaching responsibility. They are also invited to participate in broader university life, such as chapel and assemblies, monthly faculty meetings and public events, as schedules permit. Short-term and adjunct faculty appointments are made on a year-by-year basis and are not subject to the procedures outlined above. Individuals hired for adjunct or short-term teaching assignment are responsible to furnish the office of the respective dean with an up-to-date curriculum vitae and official transcripts for all graduate work.
EMU offers a variety of short-term faculty titles to provide programs flexibility in meeting their teaching, research and program needs. Alternative titles may be offered as appointments at the discretion of the deans, with authorization by the provost.
Professional Librarians
PProfessional Professional librarians at Eastern Mennonite University hold faculty status but without an academic rank designation. As such, professional librarians must meet the academic requirements of faculty teaching at the baccalaureate level. Salaries for professional librarians are calculated on the administrative scale for a 12-month contract. The director of libraries, who reports directly to the provost, supervises all library staff. All professional librarians will have an annual performance evaluation conducted by the director of libraries. With faculty status professional librarians are eligible to apply for professional development opportunities and sabbaticals.
