Definition Source

"A faculty data element, expressed as a decimal fraction of a full-time faculty position (1.000), which indicates the share of a faculty person’s individual department appointment that is supported by state funding other than the instructional or administrative support budgets.

This element should be used to indicate:

1.   The appointment fraction for a person with a single department appointment who teaches one or more sections and is being paid for same from state funds other than instructional budget or administrative budget.

2.   Reimbursed faculty time. For example, a librarian, administrator, or computer center employee who teaches a course funded from the total state support budget (rather than the instructional budget) would have his/her  appointment fraction recorded as Other Support Fraction (OSF).  ROTC, volunteer faculty, and dollar-a-year faculty should be reported with zero OSF."[1]
