Charge: To assess and make recommendations to University leaders regarding new and revised policies and practices affecting non-tenure track faculty holding a ranked faculty title.

The 2025-2026 Non-Tenure Track Faculty Committee Goals:

1. Determine if the committee will move forward with the proposal to rename ‘Non-Tenure Track Faculty’ to ‘Professional Track Faculty’.
2. Ensure each school/college and their respective departments have NTT promotion guidelines which are 1) provided to new NTT hires; 2) clear enough that they withstand leadership changes; 3) include what is to be included in the dossier; 4) ensure the review committee structure is well understood.
3. Encourage each school/college to develop programs to support faculty who are going up for promotion.
4. Ensure each school/college has a means to communicate with NTT faculty, either via listserv, Teams, or a list to facilitate the work of this committee.
5. Ensure that faculty support programs are open to all NTT faculty.
