Professional track faculty may be reclassified from one title series to another in accordance with established college and department criteria. Reclassifications can only be within the faculty member's current rank (see chart below), and should not be used to try and bypass the promotion process (for example, faculty cannot be reclassified from an Assistant Professor of Instruction to an Associate Professor of Instruction). An advancement in rank may only be the result of a review for promotion during the normal university promotion schedule.
Table of ranks and series
Rank level | Lecturer series | Clinical series | Instruction series | Practice series |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Entry | Lecturer | Clinical Assistant Professor | Assistant Professor of Instruction | Assistant Professor of Practice |
Mid | Senior Lecturer | Clinical Associate Professor | Associate Professor of Instruction | Associate Professor of Practice |
Highest | Distinguished Senior Lecturer | Clinical Professor | Professor of Instruction | Professor of Practice |
Joint positions
When requests are submitted for faculty with joint positions, all departments must approve the reclassification terms as presented in the request.
Track change vs. title change
...
Track changes should be processed when the faculty is jumping from one track to another due to a change in duties, for example, an Assistant Professor of Instruction being reclassified into an Assistant Professor of Practice.
Title changes should be processed when there will not be changes to responsibilities or duties, and only the title is changing. Title changes are appropriate for a faculty member making a lateral move into a similar position, for example, a professional faculty member moving from a Lecturer to an Assistant Professor of Instruction position.
Reclassification process
The process described below is appropriate for both track changes and title changes for professional-track faculty.
