Policy on Hiring and Paying Adjuncts as Adjunct Assistant Professor, Adjunct Associate Professor or Adjunct Professor

All persons hired as adjuncts are processed by the Office of Human Resources as adjunct lecturers. They will be processed at a higher title only under the following circumstances:

1. a. An employee will be processed as an Adjunct Assistant Processor if on the Personnel Data Form he/she indicates that he/she has a PH’D. We accept this representation in good faith. This decision is, however, subject to verification through the presentation of official college transcripts. If the employee fails to provide documentation by the end of the appointment period, he/she will not be reappointed to the adjunct assistant professor title until the necessary documentation is presented.
   
   b. An employee who has a CUNY approved equivalency related to the work of the department they are teaching in, will be placed in the Adjunct Assistant Professor title upon presentation of the CUNY approved equivalency.
   
   
2. If the employee presents evidence that they have been working at another CUNY campus as an Adjunct Associate Professor or Adjunct Professor, BMCC will honor this prior rank once verified. Salary rate, however, will be based on the entry rate of pay for the title plus any adjustment required by the labor contract based on consecutive semesters of service at CUNY. This adjustment will be based on the Office of Human Resources review of the employee’s CUNY service record. It is the obligation of the employee to provide his prior service record to verify rank and rate. BMCC will make adjustments to rank or rate retroactive to the first day of the semester in which documentation verifying an adjustment is authorized has been presented.
   
3. If the employee worked at a non-CUNY college in a higher title, the employee will be considered for the higher title only if the Department Chairperson submits a written recommendation to the Senior Vice President indicating what title the chairperson believes the employee should be placed at and why. The employee will initially be processed as an Adjunct Assistant Processor. Upon receipt of a memorandum from the Senior Vice President approving the recommendation, the Office of Human Resources will process the adjustment recommended by the Senior Vice President retroactive to the first day of the semester.
