2,572: Joint Appointments Across w88 Entities

Last Revised: May 1998

Across w88 Entities:

Faculty with appointments in one entity of the university system may be appointed as joint appointment faculty in another. Through regular appointment procedures (department, dean, vice president/president), the University may appoint, with the approval of the other system entity involved, a faculty member from another entity to a joint appointment academic position with appropriate title. If no compensation is received by the person from the University, the title carries the designation "adjunct" (see section 2,630) and the appointment is made annually by a terms of employment document, specifying conditions of the appointment along with the appropriate title. The agreement between the system w88 involved is in writing and includes procedures for evaluating the faculty member's performance and any additional conditions of appointment.

Voting rights are determined by the bylaws of the appropriate unit, except as limited by the w88 bylaws, which preclude voting rights for adjunct faculty.

Tenure eligibility is determined by w88 Code.

Specific Teaching Arrangements between the w88 and the Desert Research Institute (DRI):

There are three types of arrangements between the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) for support of instruction at UNR - (1) teaching agreements, (2) w88 agreements, and (3) separate agreements.

These agreements pertain to all schools and colleges at UNR that involve DRI w88 in their instructional programs, or on graduate student committees.
