Section 1. University Faculty. The university faculty is constituted of the president, provost, vice presidents, deans, professors, associate professors, assistant professors, senior instructors, instructors (including those professors, associate professors, assistant professors, senior instructors, and instructors whose titles have distinguished, research, extension, or visiting designations, e.g., "assistant research professor" and "visiting associate professor"), and lecturers who have served at least four consecutive semesters on more than half-time appointment [see 4410 J-1]. Those who qualify under this section have the privilege of participation with vote in meetings of the university faculty and the appropriate constituent faculties.
Section 2. Emeriti. Faculty members emeriti have the privilege of participation without vote in meetings of the university faculty and the appropriate constituent and associated faculties. Also, they may be appointed to serve with vote on UI committees. [See also 4460.]
Section 3. Associated Faculties.
Clause A. The adjunct faculty [see 4450] and the affiliate faculty [see 4470] are associated faculties. Other associated faculties may be established as needed with the approval of the university faculty, president, and regents.
Clause B. Members of associated faculties have the privilege of participation without vote in meetings of the university faculty. They have the privilege of participation with vote in meetings of their associated faculties and on faculty committees. When the bylaws of the constituent faculty concerned so provide, members of the associated faculties have the privilege of participation with vote in meetings of their respective constituencies of the university faculty; however, when they are authorized to vote, they are not counted among the full-time-equivalent faculty members when determining the basis for the constituent faculty's representation on the Faculty Council.
Section 4. General Faculty. "General faculty" is a collective description for the combined faculties referred to in sections 1, 2, and 3, above.
