Appointment of NTT Faculty
There are several steps that apply to every NTT hire in the College (Clinical Faculty, Research Faculty, Lecturer).
First, the authorization for the search, or authorization to hire in a visiting position, should be obtained from the Executive Associate Dean. When the search is complete, and candidate identified, the terms of the offer should be approved by the College before negotiating with the candidate.
LAS NTT template offer letters can be found here and need to be drafted in consultation with the LAS Dean's Office. After the candidate agrees to terms, the offer letter should be reviewed and approved by Karen Sholeen prior to it being shared with the candidate.
It is important that the offers comply with the NTT Union contract. Please note that there are several factors that determine whether a potential hire will or will not be represented by the NTT bargaining unit. Units should discuss the terms of the proposed appointment and the degree status of the candidate before an offer letter is sent.
Multi-Year Contracts For Non-Tenured Faculty Heading link
Amended Articles IX and X of the University of Illinois Statutes authorize the University to enter into contracts with definite terms for not more than three or five years when offering appointments to non-tenured faculty and to establish appropriate notice of non-reappointment and dismissal for cause procedures for persons holding such multi-year contracts. Questions about the MYC should be addressed to Executive Associate Dean David Hofman.
