Non-employee rank descriptors inadequately defined[edit]

Wotcher,

As we all know the non-employee ranks are a f^w joke. However, there is a semantic purpose behind the distinctions between visiting, adjunct, conjoint, honorary, and emeritus and the other ones I've forgotten having been out for long enough. Basically:

  • Visiting : We gave 'em library access, they're substantive elsewhere
  • Adjunct : We don't quite trust 'em, they work for a living somewhere. Like an engineer working for a Car firm.
  • Conjoint : They have a substantive wherein they *can* research, for example a hospital doctor, but they *also* research with us.
  • Honorary : They are a bus-driver but f^w me that one book they published.
  • Emeritus : THEY JUST WON'T RETIRE.

At least that's the way I remember advising my head of school (which was actually either a minifaculty or a horribly perverted department) on how to appoint people correctly. Fifelfoo (talk) 06:36, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
