Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-cassify domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

        An appointment to a regular faculty position which is either tenured or tenure-generating is considered to be continuous rather than terminal. All tenured appointments, however, are subject to established policies regarding tenure.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Ranks:\n
            \n
          1. Instructor<\/li>\n

            4. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Distinguished Professor:<\/h4>\n

              This category and rank is reserved for faculty whose achievements \u201cexemplify the highest goals of scholarship as demonstrated by recognition accorded to them from their peers with national and international stature, and whose record includes evidence of a high dedication to teaching as demonstrated by recognition accorded to them by students and\/or colleagues.\u201d The nomination and selection process is described in Policy 6-300<\/a>. The website to submit nominations can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

              Presidential Professor:<\/h4>\n

              Under exceptional circumstances, the president may appoint an individual to this category and rank. Presidential Professor is reserved for individuals whose achievements exemplify the highest goals of scholarship, and whose record includes evidence of a high dedication as determined by a special advisory committee of Distinguished professors (Policy 6-300<\/a>).<\/p>\n

              University Professor:<\/h4>\n

              Each year, at least one faculty member is selected for the special rank of University Professor. This professorship recognizes individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary skills in teaching, distinguished scholarship in their field, and an interdisciplinary approach to undergraduate instruction. The nomination process is covered in Policy 6-300<\/a>.<\/p>\n

              <\/a>Career-line Faculty:<\/h3>\n

              Career-line faculty members participate in the university\u2019s academic programs and make substantial contributions, but their continuing professional activities do not span the full range of responsibilities of regular faculty members in the appointing department or college. Career-line faculty members are non- tenured and have probationary appointments that either terminate automatically every year or are limited by written contracts for up to five-year terms. Career-line faculty may serve on committees and participate fully in departmental affairs but cannot vote on RPT policies or appointments.<\/p>\n
