The FA President or a member of the FA staff will collect all PDF copies of the completed nominee materials and forward the materials the Adjunct Teaching Award Selection Committee.

Adjunct Teaching Award Selection Committee

The Adjunct Teaching Award Selection Committee will consist of eight members of the Adjunct Affairs Committee. Committee members shall not serve on more than one of the FA Awards Committees each year. The FA President shall replace by appointment any member of the committee who cannot participate fully in the selection or who has a conflict of interest, including those related to faculty nominated for the award; any such replacement shall be selected from the constituency represented by that member. Each committee member is required to notify the FA President of a potential conflict of interest or inability to fully participate before the committee is convened.

Selection by the Adjunct Teaching Award Selection Committee

The Selection Committee will choose the award winners through a secret ballot vote. The Committee will make its award decisions based only upon the Nominee Materials that accompany the forwarded nominations. The Committee shall make its decisions solely on the basis of the nominee's merits, and without consideration for other such factors as departmental or college affiliation of present nominees or past award winners. In-person or electronic vote is acceptable.

The Committee does have the prerogative not to recommend four winners for the award if, in the members' judgments, the nominee pool does not contain four individuals whose accomplishments merit an Outstanding Adjunct Teaching Award.

It will be the responsibility of the Adjunct Teaching Award Selection Committee Chairperson to notify by letter any finalists who have not been selected after the committee has concluded its deliberations. The Chairperson of the Adjunct Teaching Award Selection Committee will also send a letter via the FA to the Office of Academic Affairs identifying the four winners of the Outstanding Adjunct Teaching Awards. Formal recognition of winners shall occur at Convocation.
