Adjunct Faculty: Inspire Student Learning in Ed

About Eastern Washington University

Eastern Washington University is a regional, comprehensive public university with over 10,000 students. It offers bachelor’s, master’s, and applied doctoral programs across more than 100 fields of study. The main 300‑acre campus is in Cheney, 16 miles southwest of Spokane, with additional sites in downtown Spokane, Riverpoint, and other locations throughout the state.

We recognize the land of the Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Kalispel, and Nez Perce tribes and honor their heritage and sovereignty.

Adjunct faculty are hired to fulfill responsibilities specified in their letter of appointment. Unless otherwise specified, the workload consists solely of instruction. All faculty are expected to engage in effective teaching and assessment of student learning.

• Faculty eligibility rules are complex and depend on the nature of the appointment. Faculty with a quarter‑to‑quarter or semester‑to‑semester appointment who are in an EWU paid appointment of at least 50 percent or more are eligible for PEBB insurance on the first day of the month following the start of their second consecutive academic term. See WAC 182‑12‑114 section (3)(a)(ii) for more details.
