  I.  Policy



A.  Collateral Duties



Whenever a faculty member, whether newly appointed or continuing,

is assigned duties other than those customary for an academic

appointment (teaching, research, service activities normally

associated with a faculty appointment), his/her dean or

department chair shall provide a written description of the

assigned duties including what performance is expected, what

specific time commitment is required for such duties, how

performance will be evaluated and what weight may be given to

such duties in the determination of reappointment, salary

increases, etc.  This statement of the dean or chair may not

modify or set aside the standards for tenure or promotion which

are stated in the Faculty Manual and in the approved tenure and

promotion criteria of the academic unit.  



Examples of extra or collateral duties include, but are

necessarily limited to such activities as:  (1) serving as a

program director within a school or college, (2) directing a

bureau of research and publication, (3) construction of a grant

proposal, (4) director of a special program. 



B.  Transfer to Another Department



Whenever a faculty member is transferred from one academic unit

of the University to another, a written statement of duties,

including collateral duties if any, is to be provided to the

faculty member as stated in A. above.  This written statement

must be provided even though the general area of required

performance is the same in the new unit as in the one from which

the faculty member is transferred.  Transfer of tenure from one

academic unit to another requires the approval of the Board of

Trustees.
