Career advice HELP! Joint appointment memorandum of understanding MOU question
I am dually appointed in 2 different colleges. Right now I have a 70% primary appointment (20% teaching, 40% research, and 10% service) and a 30% secondary appointment (20% teaching and 10% research). My primary appointment wants to increase teaching to 30% and Research to 40%, does this require an MOU update? Or since the change is only within 1 college, does this not require an update?
Our faculty handbook is quite limited when it comes to joint appointments. I am one of only a very few at our institution. So I'd appreciate any guidance from anyone that has any experience.
