Academic Rank
(1) Academic titles shall consist of graduate and
faculty ranks. Graduate ranks are GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANT, GRADUATE
RESEARCH ASSISTANT, and FELLOW. Faculty titles and ranks are (in alphabetical
order): AFFILIATED FACULTY, CLINICAL PROFESSOR (assistant clinical professor,
associate clinical professor, clinical professor) or PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE
(assistant professor of practice, associate professor of practice, professor of
practice), INSTRUCTOR (instructor, senior instructor I, senior instructor II),
LECTURER (lecturer, senior lecturer I, senior lecturer II), LIBRARIAN
(assistant librarian, associate librarian, senior librarian), RESEARCH
ASSISTANT (research assistant, senior research assistant I, senior research
assistant II), RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (research associate, senior research
associate I, senior research associate II), RESEARCH FACULTY (research
assistant professor, research associate professor, research professor), TENURE
TRACK OR TENURED FACULTY (assistant professor, associate professor, professor,
distinguished professor). Faculty titles will not be given to graduate
students.
(2) Each institution can select from among these ranks
and titles those appropriate to the hiring and retention of their faculty
members as it relates to their institutional mission.
(3) The following definitions shall govern the use of
faculty tiles and rank:
(a) AFFILIATED FACULTY: A NTTF (Non-Tenure Track
Faculty) appointment for individuals who do not receive monetary compensation
by the institution for which services are rendered. They can be unpaid invited
guests for a temporary length of time or individuals who on a consistent basis
lend their expertise and/or collaborate on teaching and research. Affiliate
status is approved for a specified length of time and must be renewed should the
association continue. Associated ranks are at the discretion of the
institution.
(b) CLINICAL FACULTY OR PROFESSOR OF PRACTICES: A NTTF
(Non-Tenure Track Faculty) appointment for individuals with primary duties in
the area of clinical instruction or professionally related community
education/service. Clinical faculty or professor of practice members are
licensed or certified professionals, or individuals in professional fields. The
major responsibility involves the education of students/learners in academic
and clinical settings, supervising clinical experiences, and/or engaging in
professionally related community service. Scholarly activity may or may not be
required. Ranks in this category in ascending order are assistant clinical
professor, associate clinical professor, and clinical professor; or assistant
professor of practice, associate professor of practice, and professor of
practice.
(c) INSTRUCTOR: A NTTF (Non-Tenure Track Faculty)
appointment for individuals with unclassified instructional appointments whose
functions are devoted exclusively or primarily to undergraduate instruction.
Such appointments include advising and mentoring expectations congruent with
creative and engaged undergraduate instruction, including the possibility of
involvement in design and development of courses and the curriculum. Ranks in
this category in ascending order are instructor, senior instructor I, senior
instructor II.
(d) LECTURER: A NTTF (Non-Tenure Track Faculty)
appointment for individuals with unclassified instructional appointments whose
functions may include significant responsibilities for graduate level
instruction. The appointment may also include upper division undergraduate
instruction. Such appointments must include significant mentoring and advising
responsibilities and a significant measure of responsibility for graduate
education. Appointments in the lecturer series will always require the terminal
degree (or its professional equivalent for certain adjunct appointments), but
the holding of a terminal degree in itself does not constitute an argument for
appointment in the lecturer series. Ranks in this category in ascending order
are lecturer, senior lecturer I, senior lecturer II.
(e) LIBRARIAN: A ranked appointment that depends on a
terminal professional degree in librarianship (typically, a Masters in Library
or Information Science) or a position-relevant terminal professional/academic
degree plus appropriate experience. Such degree requirements ensure proper
professional training, but also provide the flexibility to open appointments to
a broader range of qualified applicants. Ranks in this category in ascending
order are assistant librarian, associate librarian, and senior librarian. A
university may elect to consider the librarian series to be eligible for tenure
or to be tenured ranks with privileges and may also choose to use the
tenure-track and tenured faculty titles.
(f) RESEARCH ASSISTANT: A NTTF (Non-Tenure Track
Faculty) appointment for individuals who have typically earned a bachelor’s or
master’s degree and conduct research under the direction of a tenure-related
faculty member, a research associate or a research faculty. Ranks in this
category in ascending order are research assistant, senior research assistant
I, senior research assistant II.
(g) RESEARCH ASSOCIATE: A NTTF (Non-Tenure Track
Faculty) appointment for individuals who have typically earned doctoral degree
(or an advanced or professional degree in the field typically the terminal
degree, plus appropriate experience) and conduct research independently. Ranks
in this category in ascending order are research associate, senior research
associate I, senior research associate II.
(h) RESEARCH FACULTY: A NTTF (Non-Tenure Track Faculty)
appointment for individuals who are primarily engaged in research at a level
normally appropriate for a professorial rank. Ranks in this category in
ascending order are research assistant professor, research associate professor,
and research professor.
(i) TENURE-TRACK AND TENURED FACULTY. A faculty
position assigned to an academic department wherein the incumbent holds
academic rank and is eligible for tenure or is tenured. Ranks in this category
in ascending order are assistant professor, associate professor, and professor.
The rank of distinguished professor may be bestowed based on criteria
established by a university.
(4) The terms “affiliate,” “adjunct,” “visiting,”
“fellow,” or “emeriti” may be used and/or added to academic title and/or ranks
in those cases in which the institution wishes 1) to draw upon the skills of
certain persons in the community or in other educational, industrial or
governmental institutions for help in carrying forward teaching, research or
service commitments (e.g., doctors, dentists, lawyers, psychiatrists,
professors or administrators at other academic or governmental institutions,
public school teachers or administrators), 2) where the appointment is planned
for a limited duration, or 3) as an honorific title.
(5) Academic title can be assigned to staff members in
unclassified academic service, whether the type of service is teaching,
research, extension, administration or other service. Deans, vice presidents,
presidents, Chancellor and vice chancellors may have the academic rank of
professor as determined by each institution’s criteria.
