Non-Tenure Faculty Policy

Approved by SOM Executive Committee January 7, 2008

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE NON-TENURE FACULTY POLICIES FOR APPOINTMENT, REVIEW, AND REAPPOINTMENT AT HIGHER RANK (PROMOTION)

All Non-Tenure faculty appointments are subject to University Policy & Procedures 9-2. That policy provides that appointments to the Non-Tenure faculty are for limited terms only.  All Non-Tenure faculty appointments end automatically each June 30 unless the appointment is made by means of a written contract for a fixed term of up to five years. In the absence of such a contract, departments may choose not to reappoint Non-Tenure track faculty members. 

Department decisions not to reappoint are not subject to the School of Medicine Retention, Promotion, & Tenure (RPT) Policy & Procedures.   Departmental decisions regarding non-reappointment can be made solely by the Department Chair. 

Full-time clinical, research, and lecturer track faculty undergo formal reviews during the third and sixth years of appointment to promote the professional development of the faculty member and to ensure continued quality performance.  Positive Reappointment reviews do not require SOM RPT Committee review, and are sent directly to the Dean of the SOM. Majority non-Reappointment vote by any voting body will result in review by the SOM A&RPT Committee prior to being sent to the Dean of the SOM.  Formal reviews do not change the nature of the faculty member’s appointment. 

The faculty candidate should have five years at rank for Reappointment at Higher Rank (Promotion) action as outlined in School of Medicine criteria for clinical, research, and lecturer faculty.

Annual reappointment reviews will not be required after a faculty member in clinical, research, or lecturer tracks have completed seven years of continuous appointment if initially appointed at the level of instructor or assistant professor; or five years if initially appointed at the level of associate professor or professor.  After faculty have completed stated time periods, annual reappointment may be handled at the department level by the department chair using Non-Tenure Faculty Review (AFR) procedures if the specified funding on which the positions are dependent is available.
