Furthermore, the faculty member's extraordinary performance must be recognized regionally or nationally. To qualify as an exception, the faculty member's accomplishments must be more extensive in quantity and generally more impressive in quality than those of faculty members with the same length of service and with the terminal degree who have been promoted. 2.1.3.1 Exceptions to Criteria for Terminal DegreeĮxceptions to the requirement for a terminal degree may be made in cases of extraordinary faculty performance in teaching, service/community engagement, or scholarly/creative activity. The prior service credit process will be the same as for new faculty, as outlined in sections 2.5 and 2.6. Instructors who obtain tenure-track positions may request up to two years of service credit towards promotion and/or tenure. Instructors obtaining a terminal degree are eligible and encouraged to apply for advertised faculty positions but are not guaranteed a transition in rank or position. However, because faculty staffing needs change with time, obtaining an agreed-upon terminal degree does not warrant automatic appointment to a tenure-track faculty line. SACSCOC requires that the University employ qualified faculty to teach therefore, it is essential that the instructor and the University agree that the intended terminal degree meets the institution’s needs and standards for the discipline. These instructors are highly encouraged to discuss the terminal degree program with their department head and dean. 2.1.3 Instructors Obtaining Terminal Degreesįaculty holding the rank of Instructor may pursue a terminal degree in the hopes of obtaining a tenure-track position. Because of the one-academic-year contract provision, with no expectation of renewal for the rank of Instructor, the highest academic degree required for an Instructor’s position is an appropriate master’s or educational specialist's degree in the discipline. A faculty member holding this rank does not possess any right to permanent or continuous employment does not have any manner of legal right, interest, or expectancy of renewal or any other type of appointment and is subject to annual renewal by the university. The rank of instructor is a non-tenured rank. Librarians have the same rank structure as faculty. 2.1.1 Ranked FacultyĪ ranked faculty member is an employee of the university who has been appointed to one of the six regular full-time academic ranks: instructor, distinguished instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, professor, or distinguished professor. Specific employment contracts are awarded to all faculty. The faculty generally includes all persons appointed as regular full-time faculty, temporary full-time and temporary part-time faculty, adjunct faculty, visiting faculty, and special appointment faculty. engineering and in applied economics.Section 2 - Faculty Policies, Regulations, and Processes 2.1 Definition of Faculty Status She completed an undergraduate degree in Mathematics, and graduate degrees in I.T.
