Staffing of Adjunct Faculty

---

The Austin Community College (ACC) District values the contributions of adjunct faculty, and intends to make the best use of individual adjuncts in light of the skills revealed by evaluation and supervisory observation. To facilitate this process, the College has established clearly stated principles to guide the process of scheduling adjunct faculty.

Staffing of Adjunct Faculty is the process by which specific sections are assigned to members of the Adjunct Faculty for teaching. Department Chairs have the responsibility to make such assignments only to members of the Adjunct Faculty who are on the appropriate eligibility list and only in accord with the rules of staffing below.

Austin Community College uses an online preference system, eStaffing, where adjunct instructors can record assignment preferences for campus, terms, days, times, and sections. Department Chairs, with final approval by Deans, use the eStaffing information to assign adjunct faculty-specific locations.

All staffing shall be completed through the use of the eStaffing system except as exempted by approval of the Vice Chancellor upon the recommendation of the eStaffing Committee.

Any member of the adjunct faculty who believes the administrative rule governing the staffing of adjunct faculty has not been properly implemented may request a Procedural Review in accordance with Administrative Rule: 2.0703.04.
