Senate Bill 11-12-20
| Bill ID: | 11-12-20 |
| Name: | Activation of the USM Clinical Faculty Titles |
| Proposed: | 10/21/2011 |
| Sponsor: | Ann Wylie & Juan Uriagereka |
| Proposal: | The USM POLICY ON APPOINTMENT, RANK, AND TENURE OF FACULTY, on section IIC (FACULTY RANKS), includes a section (4) on FACULTY ENGAGED EXCLUSIVELY OR PRIMARILY IN CLINICAL TEACHING. UMD does not have such titles presently activated, even though it currently employs expert practitioners whose primary focus is teaching, supervising, and mentoring students in practical environments in at least six colleges. The present request, with the unanimous approval of the Council of Deans, is to activate the USM titles as soon as the University Senate approves this policy change. Specifically the titles in question are 4 e (Clinical Assistant Professor), 4f (Clinical Associate Professor) and 4g (Clinical Professor). No other titles would be activated. |
