<< review queue entry 79374 - submitted by 'cboss2' >> 合聘 (joint appointment; when a professor takes up a second assignment/role in another department) I've never heard of "engage" a teacher (could be misinterpreted to mean engaging) - National Taiwan University bilingual glossary https://sec.ntu.edu.tw/001/Upload/33/relfile/10795/3776/724b85f4-4aa1-495d-a52f-612dd3478d1f.pdf - How Harvard Arts & Sciences defines the role https://academic-appointments.fas.harvard.edu/joint-appointments 不分系 (undeclared university students, or students of non-fixed programs) at least in Taiwan, it's starting to become used (since students have tradtionally had to declare a department/major for entry) - https://www.yory.school/contents/6433c1962d70440014f41665 -------------------------- Editor: 1) Thanks for proposing these additions and improvements! 2) Please break up batches like this into multiple, smaller submissions. Otherwise, your batch may sit on the queue for a long time, because it generally only gets processed when an editor happens to have a substantial amount of time to devote to working on it uninterrupted. (There are so many things to check.) I think this batch could have been split into 5 submissions. Processing 不分系, for example, did not depend on how the other words were processed, so it could have been a separate single-line submission. 3) > "I've never heard of 'engage' a teacher" I'm familiar with that sense of "engage", and it's the very first sense mentioned in American Heritage Dictionary. engage, v.t. 1. To obtain or contract for the services of; employ: engage a carpenter. [2. ...] https://ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=engage I'm Australian, and it's common usage in Australia too. However, I agree that it's better if we use alternative, less ambiguous words. 4) 合聘 is specific to Taiwan, the corresponding mainland term being 聯聘, according to LA: 合聘【臺詞】兩個以上的單位聯合僱用同一個員工。【陸】即「聯聘」。 5) Some further 不分系 usage: 將來走向以院招生，大一、大二不分系， In future, students will be enrolled into colleges rather than departments, and will not declare a specialism in their freshman and sophomore years. 其實，「分院不分系」的做法八、九年前中央大學理學院就實施過， In fact, admission by college rather than department was tried eight or nine years ago by the College of Sciences at National Central University. 元智大學管理學院去年開始試行大一「分院不分系」招生，把國際企業、財稅金融、會計、企管四個系，各分出十個名額實施大一不分系， Last year, the College of Management at Yuan Ze University experimentally began admitting students without assigning them to departments during their first year. The college's Departments of International Business, Finance, Accounting and Business Administration each gave up 10 first-year places to allow this. |
