Systemwide Review of Proposed Revisions to APM - 230, Visiting Appointments

The University invites comments on proposed revisions to Section 230 of the Academic Personnel Manual:

  • APM - 230, Visiting Appointments.

Summarized below are the proposed key policy revisions that are being distributed for systemwide review.

  • Substantive revisions to clarify Visiting appointments at the assistant rank are only appropriate if the visitor is on leave from an academic or research position at another education institution.
  • Technical revision to remove the three-year carve out for Visiting Assistant Professor Programs in Mathematics due to the creation of the Math Fellow title.
  • Technical revision to remove language which prohibits Visiting appointees from participating in a Health Sciences or other special compensation plan because it conflicts with language in APM - 670, Health Sciences Compensation Plan (APM - 670-14-a-6).

The draft policy is posted here. If you have any questions or if you wish to comment, please contact Paula Johnson in the Office of Information Governance and Policy at policy@ucsd.edu no later than July 7, 2025.
