Abstract	The Regis Career Education Program (RECEP) is an accelerated degree-granting program for adults at Regis College in Denver, Colorado. Since the program began in 1979, there has been a steady increase in enrollments and, consequently, a steady increase in the number of adjunct faculty. These adjunct faculty members are generally drawn from outside the usual academic confines, and they lack the institutional affiliations to be classified according to academic rankings that distinguish junior and senior faculty. In an effort to differentiate between the roles of the adjunct and regular faculty members in the RECEP program, a two-tiered structure of adjunct faculty was created. This included a "lead faculty" to (1) aid in the orientation of new faculty members, (2) aid in the coordination of an area or group of faculty in relationship to revising or developing curriculum materials, and (3) be instrumental in a peer evaluation process for faculty development. The second tier consists of faculty members who work on a course-by-course contractual basis (as they did in the past). At the time of the policy's initiation, 22 of RECEP's 150 adjunct faculty members were selected as lead faculty. Lead faculty are appointed for two years on the basis of student evaluation and evidence of commitment to and longevity in RECEP. Other responsibilities of lead faculty include monitoring new faculty, assisting in the provision of inservice training, and serving in a liaison role between campus and adjunct faculty. (MN)
