Janet and all,
Can the person's appointment be totally renegotiated?  Instead of adding on
to his/her already existing part-time position, how about deleting the
part-time teaching position and creating a full-time position (either
temporary or permanent, as your resources and state and institutional
policies allow) with a competitive salary .  Part of the job
responsibilities would be teaching (to be paid by institutional funds) and
part project specific tasks (to be paid by grant funds.)  Of course, percent
times would have to be legitimate for T&E reporting.  True 50/50 would still
mean that, in this case,  the institution would have to fork over more for
the teaching part. But the project might be such that it could support 75%
of the person's time with only 25% going to teaching.  Just a thought on a
different way to interpret different position arrangements....
