VISITING FACULTY APPOINTMENTS

Visiting appointments to the Earlham faculty provide staffing on a short term basis. Sometimes these are occasioned by the need to replace faculty on sabbaticals or another kind of leave. They may also fill positions resulting from grant-funded special activities or when there is not time to have launched a national search appropriate for a tenure-track appointment.

Visiting faculty have contracts which extend only for one semester or one year or another term specified in the contract and letter of appointment. There is no presumption that visiting faculty will be considered for renewal of contract beyond the term originally specified.

Visiting faculty are provided benefits appropriate to the terms of their appointment (full time or adjunct) and the duration of their contract. For details, consult the sections of the Policies and Procedures part of this document which deal with benefits.

Visiting faculty are encouraged to have their courses evaluated, using the Earlham form or approved substitute form (see Handbook Section E). If the faculty member were to apply for a subsequent vacancy at Earlham, the past student evaluation forms would be required as part of the application materials.
