Faculty Appointment Actions

Policy Number: 216

Date Approved: 08/06/2024

Executive Responsibility: Executive Committee

216.1 Policy

Military Personnel

United States Air Force personnel seeking a medical school faculty appointment must have the written approval of the commander, Wright-Patterson Medical Center. Similarly, Department of Defense personnel and other employees of the Federal government must have written concurrence from their commander or supervisor prior to seeking a faculty appointment.

Geographic Termination

Members of the partially affiliated (voluntary) faculty who move outside of a fifty-mile radius of the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine can receive a termination of their voluntary faculty appointment. The department chair will determine the need for this action considering the potential of any future academic contributions from the faculty member.

Matrixed and Joint Appointments

An appointment in a department that is matrixed between the Boonshoft School of Medicine (BSOM) and another WSU school or college is considered a single faculty appointment.

Matrixed appointments in BSOM, as single appointments, are contingent on continued appointment in the other WSU college or school. Termination of a matrixed appointment in the other WSU college or school also terminates the BSOM appointment.
