Fly-in staff
Fly-in staff (or fly-in academics, or flying faculty) are staff based at the home higher education academic provider who travel to service a franchised programme in a branch campus.
Fly-in staff tend to be academics teaching on the programmes, as the administrative staff tend to be based permanatly at the branch campus. The term 'fly-in' or 'fly-in, fly out' usually implies that the branch campus is in a different country and the mode of transport is by air.
The UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) (undated) states:
Flying faculty (Or 'fly-in, fly-out faculty') An arrangement whereby a programme is delivered in a location away from the main campus (usually overseas) by staff from the degree-awarding body. (Support for students may be provided by local staff.)
