Additional Information

不良研究所, like most colleges and universities, is organized to provide efficient and effective leadership of the academic programs.  As a member of the part-time faculty, you will work with the following:

A Mentor:  A faculty member from the College and your academic department will be identified as a 鈥渕entor鈥� to assist in acclimating you to accepted faculty procedures and processes at 不良研究所.  Mentors will share with you agendas and minutes from the College and your academic department.  This mentor might be your department chair or another experienced instructor from your department.

Department Chair: The Chair of the academic department is responsible for the overall quality of the educational program, and is the immediate supervisor.  The Chair is responsible for creating an academic climate in which the part-time faculty member is able to teach and perform well.  (S)He will work closely on all aspects of teaching and will help with administrative functions, payroll, supplies and materials. The Department Chair often reviews faculty syllabi, coordinates workshop/training sessions, and is the 鈥済o-to鈥� person for instructors.

Dean:  The Dean is the chief academic officer of the College.  Typically the Dean works directly with the Department Chairs; however, because this is a relatively small University community, the Dean is easily accessible throughout the semester.

Provost & Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs:  The Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs is the chief academic officer for the University.  The Provost is responsible for all aspects of the academic programs and is concerned with the quality of teaching on campus.
