• Benefits:
  • Pay increase of 10% 
  • Job security: Senior Adjunct Faculty will be reappointed to subsequent semesters.  Teaching appointments are made in order of Seniority.
  • If your course is not offered, the University Administration must offer you other appropriate courses that you are qualified to teach.
  • If you have taught at least one course every semester for three years, and have maintained good evaluations, you must be offered one year appointments that maintain the pattern and number of courses you have taught in the preceding three years.
