Other Support Fraction (OSF)

Indicates the share of a faculty appointment that is supported by state budget funding, including the full appointment fraction (1.0) of a person who is teaching one or more sections and is being paid from state funds budgeted to accounts other than instruction or instructional administration, and reimbursed faculty time. For example, a librarian, administrator, or computer center professional who teaches a course that is funded from the total state support budget would have his/her full appointment time recorded as Other Support Fraction (OSF).
