#99019 AND #99026 COMBINED – Amendments that augment the definition of Educator Faculty by permitting additional professional practitioners to hold professorial titles and by including Instructors.
A2.1(e) The Educator Faculty shall consist of Instructors in any school as well as those faculty with professorial titles engaged primarily in professional practice and in teaching associated with that practice, such as licensed health practitioners with terminal doctoral degrees and physicians who are in the clinical departments of the School of Medicine or nurses in the clinical programs of the School of Nursing with titles [rank] of Clinical [department], (e.g., Instructor of Clinical Surgery or Professor of Clinical Nursing). School faculties, on the recommendation of the faculty of the department concerned, may also propose to the Faculty Senate the creation of professorial Educator Faculty positions in addition to the above clinical titles. Proposals to be considered by the Senate shall define these positions by department and shall include for each department the descriptive modified professorial title, the requisite qualifications and duties that identify the professional practice, and a cap on such positions, specified either by number or as a proportion of all University Faculty in that department. Educator Faculty are full-time but shall not hold tenured or tenure-earning appointments.
A2.1(g) The Associated Faculty are all faculty with professorial titles prefixed by “Voluntary,” “Adjunct,” “Visiting,” or “Affiliated,” and all Lecturers. Additional titles for Associated Faculty may be created by a special Bylaw defining the title.

A2.1(g) The Associated Faculty are all faculty with professorial titles prefixed by "Voluntary," "Adjunct," "Visiting," or "Affiliated," and all Lecturers and Instructors. Additional titles for Associated Faculty may be created by a special Bylaw defining the title.
For your information, the Senate also passed linked legislation that affects where Instructor appears in Section C (Faculty Policies) as well as the definition of Instructor. These additional changes, deleting section C3.6(c) and creating C7.6(a), are in a separate memorandum.
This legislation is now forwarded to you for your action. Should you approve, we will forward it to the faculty for its vote as an amendment to the Charter section of the Faculty Manual.
