Charge to the Committee on Contract Faculty

The purpose of the Committee on Contract Faculty is to investigate broadly the role of contract faculty at Brandeis University. Among its purposes are:

1. to examine policies and procedures employed in the recruitment and reappointment of contract faculty (including duration of contract), compensation and provision of benefits, specification of workload and other academic responsibilities, specification of rights, and assignment of titles;

2. to consider appropriate differences in the above (#1) across various units of the University (e.g., language programs, academic departments, professional schools);

3. in support of the Committee's deliberations, to investigate the history and current state of the conditions relating to contract faculty at Brandeis, as well as the ways in which comparable universities have addressed and resolved these matters; and

4. to report back to the Provost and the Faculty Senate with findings, alternatives, and recommendations
