XII. Visiting Faculty Searches

Searches for visiting faculty positions (i.e., those that are designed to be of fixed duration to meet short term needs of the department or institution) should follow the general guidelines for faculty searches as outlined above with the exceptions noted below.

1. Visiting faculty searches do not require review by EPC.

2. The search committee for visiting faculty positions may be smaller than for a tenure track search, but should include one member from outside the division.

3. Under normal circumstances, one candidate is invited to campus and if that candidate is unacceptable, then a second candidate may be invited etc. Exceptions may be made with the approval of the Provost.

3. Candidates for visiting faculty positions may have an abbreviated schedule that does not include a general campus presentation. Visiting faculty candidates do not need to meet with the President. They must meet with the Provost (30 minutes), with departmental faculty, with Human Resources, with students, and provide a teaching demonstration unless there are exceptional circumstances approved by the Provost.
