Appointment Change of Current Tenure-Track Faculty

An assistant professor or associate professor who wishes to resign from the current appointment and become an assistant professor in practice or associate professor in practice may do so through a search. Each year served by an individual as an assistant professor and/or associate professor in the Faculty of Design prior to an appointment as an assistant professor in practice or an associate professor in practice shall count as two years toward the maximum limits of time applicable to appointments as assistant professor in practice or associate professor in practice.
An assistant professor or associate professor who wishes to resign from the current appointment and become a design critic or lecturer may do so upon recommendation of the department chair and approval by the dean. The maximum full-time equivalent (FTE) for the design critic or lecturer appointment shall normally be .50 per year and the maximum number of cumulative consecutive or non-consecutive years as design critic or lecturer following the resignation may not exceed the number of years remaining in the term of the individual’s current tenure-track appointment as of the effective date of the resignation. Any subsequent appointment as design critic or lecturer after the end of the design critic or lecturer appointment following the resignation may be made only after a two-year break in service.

A current appointment as an assistant professor or associate professor does not prevent an individual from applying for any senior faculty position in a search.
