Make sure you know what you are getting for it. On this page, we refer to an adjunct teacher or a part-time teacher interchangeably, although each school may have a slightly different definition.
In short, an adjunct professor can either work full-time or part-time during a school semester, but they have no contract or a contract that lasts only a short amount of time. To come up with the numbers for this page, we use the total number of part-time non-faculty and non-tenure track faculty to represent the count of adjuncts for the college or university.
Rutgers University - New Brunswick has instructional graduate assistants that teach or provide teaching-related duties. These responsibilities could range from entirely teaching lower-level courses themselves, to assisting professors by developing teaching materials, preparing or giving exams and grading student work. We suggest you ask the college to what extent graduate assistants are relied on for instruction, so you know what you are paying for.
Additionally, the school has non-instructional graduate assistants. You have goals. Details related to personnel files are included in Article 18 , and all faculty should be aware of their right to include materials in this file. External letters are not required for reappointment evaluations that do not involve granting tenure. While the department chair is required to consult with you regarding appropriate experts in your field, the dean and the department chair will determine who is ultimately solicited.
External referees are normally at the rank of full professor and are selected on the basis of their standing in the field and the institutions they are associated with. You should not be personally associated with the external referees. You may want to request a non-confidential letter from a significant collaborator confirming your account of the nature of the collaboration and the relative contributions. This letter could be included with the supplementary materials and referenced in the Form 1 explanation for multi-authored work.
Note that you may also provide a list of referees who you would prefer not be solicited, but the department chair and dean make the final decision about who is or is not solicited. The importance of identifying appropriate referees cannot be overstated.
Though unusual, there is no prohibition against soliciting letter writers not associated with an academic institution—for example, someone working in government or industry may be well placed to evaluate particular research.
The goal is to identify individuals who are best qualified and placed to say why and how your scholarship is important and what impact it has had on the field. Ask to be provided a copy of your packet that includes the evaluation narratives after the evaluation is completed Forms 3 and 3a and the confidential letters will be removed.
You can often ascertain from these references how many letters were received. You will not be told who was solicited nor the identity of the writers.
This information is kept strictly confidential. This can be awkward. And, of course, thank them for agreeing to write a letter. If something is added to the packet on or before December 1, the packet will be circulated to each earlier level of review to allow for a revised evaluation if that level of review determines a revision is warranted.
These members may be chosen from related disciplines in the same faculty, college, or school or from the same discipline in other campuses of the University. Do your homework and discuss with your department chair who on the Rutgers faculty might be most appropriate as ad hoc committee members.
Ask your department chair to communicate to the dean the names of individuals that you would jointly recommend, if any. At a minimum, someone who is familiar with your area and who is known to take a careful and deliberate approach in the evaluation process should be asked to serve. If the majority of faculty evaluating your packet at the departmental level is ad hoc, they may request to meet with you before making their recommendation. This can be especially important in large areas with several subfields or specialties.
Having a reading committee report prepared by individuals who are especially qualified can be critical to an informed assessment by your peers in the department and also at later levels. The dean will consult with the chairs of your primary and secondary departments to determine a list of appropriate external referees.
The evaluation narrative by your secondary department will be appended to the narrative of your primary department as the packet makes its way through the process.
Make certain that both department chairs are aware of the demands on your time by the other. Be certain that your contributions to both departments are appropriately reflected in the packet. Be informed about the process and know your rights and obligations in it as well as its limitations. Read the Instructions and the relevant policies and regulations related to reappointment, promotion, and tenure considerations. Keep good notes throughout the process—things that you may hear or learn during the course of your evaluation could be important later.
This notification will come from the department chair and will be the only notification you will receive prior to notice of the final decision. Ask your department chair or senior colleague s to attend with you. Your department chair should keep the dean apprised of your accomplishments this means that you must keep the chair apprised.
The Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs is the chair of the committee and its sole spokesperson, presiding without a vote, except in the event of a tie among voting members. The PRC will ask for information or clarification if any is needed. Most likely these inquiries will go first to the dean, who may turn to the department chair for further information.
The Instructions also permit the PRC to return the packet to an earlier level to obtain additional information needed to make a determination. If this happens, the packet goes to any intervening levels before being resubmitted to the dean. The faculty members selected to serve on the PRC are chosen for their scholarly distinction as individuals and are not selected to represent specific disciplines or areas. For cases that have gone to the PRC, deans are normally notified of final actions following the April and June meetings of the Board of Governors.
Deans may then notify candidates informally of the final outcome. In all cases, candidates are to be notified in writing of the final action within ten days after the dean learns of it.
