CLARIFIED by Regents of the University of California (2025) PERB Order No. Ad-525-H, to provide that the University of California IX unit (also referred to as “Unit 18,” the “Non-Senate Faculty (NSF) Unit,” or the “Non-Senate Instructional Unit”) is not a “teaching-only” unit. There is no bar to placing employees in the IX unit merely because they also perform duties other than teaching, such as research and service.

By not requiring adjuncts to engage in research and service in addition to what they did to qualify for the adjunct appointment in the first place, the employer ignored the clear requirement in a mutually negotiated letter-agreement that the adjunct assignment should not be used for teaching-only assignments.
