教师 Sufficiency Policy
Policy on Classification of 教师 as Participating or Supporting
Background
Within AACSB Standard 5 on 教师 Sufficiency and Deployment, the AACSB distinguishes
between ‘participating’ and ‘supporting’ faculty. In general, participating faculty
are those who participate in the life of the school beyond direct teaching involvement,
while supporting faculty do not. “A school adopts and applies criteria for documenting
faculty members as ‘participating’ or ‘supporting’ that are consistent with its mission.”
[1]
AACSB guidelines call for participating faculty to deliver at least 75% of the school’s
teaching and to deliver at least 60% of the teaching in each discipline, academic
program, location, and delivery mode.
定义
“A participating faculty member actively and deeply engages in the activities of the
school in matters beyond direct teaching responsibilities. Such matters might include
policy decisions, advising, research, and service commitments. 教职员工
may participate in the governance of the school and be eligible to serve as a member
on appropriate committees responsible for academic policymaking and/or other decisions.
的 individual may participate in a variety of non-class activities such as directing
extracurricular activity, providing academic and career advising, and representing
the school on institutional committees. Normally, the school considers participating
faculty members to be long-term members of the faculty regardless of whether or not
their appointments are of a full-time or part-time nature, whether or not their position
with the school is considered the faculty member's principal employment, and whether
or not the school has tenure policies. 的 individual may be eligible for, and participate
in, faculty development activities and take non-teaching assignments, such as advising,
as appropriate to the faculty role the school has defined.” [2]
“A supporting faculty member does not, as a rule, participate in the intellectual
or operational life of the school beyond the direct performance of teaching responsibilities.
Usually, a supporting faculty member does not have deliberative or involvement rights
on faculty issues, membership on faculty committees, or assigned responsibilities
beyond direct teaching functions (e.g., classroom and office hours). Normally, a supporting
faculty member's appointment is on an ad hoc basis--for 一个 term or 一个 academic year
without the expectation of continuation—and is exclusively for teaching responsibilities.”
[3]
