Faculty Benefits

A comprehensive benefits package is available for our faculty, most of whom (tenure-track and clinical faculty) will be covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement with Keene State College Educational Association. A summary of benefits is detailed in the KSCEA Faculty Benefit Overview. Contract lecturers are non-tenure-track faculty who provide service to the institution, often stepping in to deliver academic programs when tenure-track vacancies occur. Contract lecturers have access to their own generous benefits as described in the USNH Faculty/Staff Benefit Overview.
