Maintenance of Inclusion Adjunct Faculty Clause Samples
The "Maintenance of Inclusion Adjunct Faculty" clause establishes requirements for retaining adjunct faculty members who contribute to diversity and inclusion within an institution. Typically, this clause outlines criteria or procedures for ensuring that adjunct faculty from underrepresented groups remain part of the teaching staff, such as through regular review of hiring practices or targeted support initiatives. Its core function is to promote and sustain a diverse academic environment by preventing the inadvertent loss of valuable adjunct faculty who enhance inclusion.
