Each adjunct faculty member is assigned a full-time faculty member who will act as a liaison. This full-time faculty member will do everything possible to assist the adjunct faculty member in making her/his teaching as effective as possible.

This would include consultation on syllabus creation, content selection, review and implementation of course content objectives, methods of instruction and evaluation of student progress.

The full-time faculty member's responsibilities regarding liaison activities include:

1. Reviewing adjunct faculty applications, assessing adjunct credentials, interviewing candidates, and making adjunct faculty nominations for those discipline areas in her/his area of responsibility to the Academic Dean.

2. Providing, at the request of the adjunct and to the extent possible, support consultation regarding teaching and administrative support for the adjunct.

3. Conducting, on the periodic schedule required by the collective bargaining contract, classroom observations for the purpose of evaluation, reviewing the evaluation report with the adjunct, and forwarding the report to the office of the Academic Dean.

Adjunct faculty are provided with an opportunity to meet and discuss mutual concerns with each other at the beginning of each semester at the adjunct faculty orientation.
