Chapter 2: The Professoriate
An updated and reorganized Chapter Two of the School of Medicine Faculty Handbook is now available for use. Use the expanded navigation menu at left to access each section. Each section includes a downloadable PDF of that particular section of Chapter 2; a downloadable PDF of the entire chapter can be found at the end of this page.
Please note the following features:
- The core of the Chapter is dedicated to criteria and guidelines for appointments, reappointments and promotions in each of the four faculty lines (Medical Center Line, University Tenure Line, Non-Tenure Line [Research], and Non-Tenure Line [Teaching]). Each of the sections follows a standardized format, beginning with a definition of the line and ending with specific/supplementary criteria for the assistant, associate and full professor ranks.
- Criteria for the Medical Center Line have been updated extensively; the MCL section also includes information regarding “Establishing, Monitoring and Applying Proportionality of Contributions.”
- All assistant professor terms have been updated in accordance with recent policy changes (see “New Terms for Assistant Professors” below).
- A stand-alone section (2.7) brings together evaluation processes at the departmental (department chair, evaluation committee, faculty), School (Appointments and Promotions Committee, Assistant Professors Review Committee, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Dean) and University (University Advisory Board, Provost, President) levels.
- In an effort to streamline and eliminate duplication, all forms, checklists and sample letters have been removed from the Handbook. All of these materials should be accessed through OAA’s website (under “Forms,” “Letters,” and “Professoriate A&P Tools.”)
