Procedures for Adjunct Appointments to the Faculty

The need for a new music adjunct appointment to the Faculty shall be discovered and articulated by the music program chair, who shall discuss that need with the Division Chair. Should they agree, they shall consult with the Dean of the College and ask for funding. If the Dean agrees to fund the position, the chairs and Dean shall determine the length of service needed, the specific courses to be taught and the skills requisite for the service.

The position shall be advertised or broadcast as best suits the need, either by contacting universities in the area, consulting files of those already expressing interest in teaching at Centre College or by public posting.

Eligible individuals shall be identified by the music program. Following a successful background check, the Dean shall offer the successful candidate a contract in writing.

The Office of the Dean of the College shall maintain a complete file of materials associated with the hiring, qualifications, teaching evaluations and contractual data of each adjunct faculty member until such time as there is no prospect of rehiring; then those materials shall be archived.
