Handbook Section H RANK Teaching Faculty ranks are the usual ones: Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor. The ranks of Lecturer or Instructor may also be used, from time to time, such as for some administrative faculty who teach part-time. Rank and titles are not determinative in one’s professional and social relationships at Earlham, and are not linked to salary or benefits. The College uses titles to be consistent with the practices of the academic world at large. We try to live in a way consistent with the Quaker conviction that there is that of God in every person, a conviction which rules out arbitrary distinctions among human beings. Changes in rank are recommended to the Board of Trustees by the Academic Dean after consultation with the department and/or program of the faculty member and the Faculty Affairs Committee. New faculty members will normally be Assistant Professors. The promotion to Associate Professor will occur in the year succeeding a positive tenure decision. For full-time teaching faculty, the promotion to Full Professor will occur in or around the 7th year after tenure. Administrative faculty ranks are generally meant to signify ranges of responsibility, and to conform to existing conventions for names of positions elsewhere in higher education. Good performance therefore can affect salary and eligibility for promotion to a position with wider responsibility. However, promotions (new title) may be proposed by the area supervisor and approved by the President on the basis of length of service, if this conforms to a national pattern. |
