Administrative Appointments

It is encouraged that full-time faculty who also hold administrative appointments have a title designated for these responsibilities on their contracts. The line should be on a 0% basis with appropriate dollars attached. When this is done, it is possible to identify a discrete dollar amount for salary reduction should an individual step down from or otherwise end his or her administrative responsibilities. An approved PAPE is not required for an administrative title for tenured or tenure track faculty but is necessary when one is not in the tenure stream.

Most major administrative appointments will require prior approval by the Provost. Further details on this process may be found in the Office of the Provost's Reference Guide for Appointments Requiring BOT/Chancellor/BOT Approval.
