III.J.1   Primary and Secondary Appointments

When an individual holds both a faculty appointment and an appointment as a managerial or professional employee, one appointment is primary and the other is secondary. In rare cases an individual can hold a fully joint appointment. The designation is normally made either at the time of hire or at the time the second appointment is made, but it may be done at any time by the dean or Provost. If a primary faculty appointment is changed to secondary during the term of appointment, that designation becomes effective after the expiration of a period equal to the required notice of non-reappointment for that position, as specified in Section III.G . If no formal designation is made, a dual faculty appointment in a ladder or research rank is presumed to be primary, and a dual faculty appointment in any other rank is presumed to be secondary.
