Full-Time Term or Temporary Faculty
Occasionally, full-time faculty may be hired on a temporary (year-to-year) basis, whose responsibilities are not primarily teaching, such as faculty who administer grants or whose sole funding comes from non-university funding. These faculty are not represented as part of a recognized bargaining unit but receive the same benefits as other full-time faculty. The employing department determines salaries and increases for this group. The same hiring practices are used as those for tenure-track and non-tenure track appointments.
Non-Tenure Track Faculty
Non-Tenure Track faculty are full-time faculty with benefits who are appointed annually and whose responsibilities are primarily teaching. Each non-tenure track faculty member will be placed in one of the following tracks: instructional, clinical, practitioner or research. They are represented by a unit of the Kent State United Faculty Association (KSUFA); therefore, their salary, benefit levels, faculty workload and distinctive terms and conditions of their employment are determined by the collective bargaining agreement.
