3.1 Definition of Faculty

The faculty consists of those individuals appointed in writing to tenured, tenure-track, or special-status faculty contracts for any of the College’s three schools as approved by the appropriate dean. In the College of Arts and Sciences, only tenured and tenure-track faculty have voting rights. In the Graduate School, all full-time faculty have voting rights, regardless of tenure status. In the Law School, the voting members of the faculty are the tenured faculty and other faculty hired pursuant to the 80-percent hiring rule (see Law School bylaws).
