Affiliate Faculty
This term is used here to describe when a school or department at IU Indianapolis wishes to make a formal connection with a full time IU Indianapolis (or IU, or other university) faculty member.
It does not refer to cases where someone has more than one formal tenure home. It might apply if someone has part of their salary coming from multiple units.
It does not refer to 'adjunct/associate' faculty who are people hired to teach specific courses. Nor does it refer to community/non-university people who are given community associate/scholar status.
1–These individuals will be given the ‘administrative post’ code of “adjunct” (adjunct professor, adjunct lecturer, adjunct research scientist: these codes are specific as to the rank involved). This is a no-pay position.
That is, for IU systems, “adjunct” is the formal term. IU has no formal definition of “affiliate" and does not use the term in HRMS or in policy.
2-a unit may designate them as “affiliate” or use any other term they want to. They may use this term on websites, business cards, CVs, signature lines, etc.
3-If such a person has any ‘governance’ rights (any formal voting right, not just being able to be part of groups/discussions) those rights must be designated either in the unit’s constitution or by an explicit vote for individual cases by the unit faculty.
