Conditions of Appointments. Once a fixed-term faculty member is appointed at rank or promoted, that rank shall not be reduced. Fixed-term appointments are normally one year or less, and are individually negotiated as to terms. Fixed-term faculty may be renewed depending on the needs or the University. In some cases, fixed-term faculty may be contracted for multiple-year appointments dependent on the needs of the University. Fixed-term faculty are not eligible for tenure, nor does service in this rank automatically count toward the tenure probationary period upon appointment to a tenure-track rank. Instructor appointments shall not include any right to permanent or continuous employment, shall not create any manner of legal right, interest, or expectancy of renewal or any other type of appointment, and shall be subject to annual renewal by the University.
