The term "NSF or instructional faculty" shall be used throughout this MOU to refer to
all instructional faculty and non-faculty employees within the unit. The use of the

definition of the term "faculty" as used outside of the MOU, including in APM 110 and
in reference to the Academic Senate.
In reviewing claims that an individual has been misclassified within the unit, or that a
member of the unit has been assigned duties inappropriate for the position, an

normal duties associated with the position.
Claims that an NSF has been incorrectly appointed to a non-unit title shall be
pursued solely through the Public Employment Relations Board.
