Common use of Responsibilities Associated with Rank Clause in Contracts

Responsibilities Associated with Rank. The tables found in Appendix B are meant to provide examples of the possible evolution in a faculty member’s duties and responsibilities through promotion stages. Each table is not intended to serve as a checklist but is designed to illustrate possible pathways. It is likely or even expected that faculty members will specialize over time, increasing their contributions in some categories more than others on the basis of their particular skills and interests. The spectrum of creditable faculty engagement ranges from significant contribution in a few categories to truly outstanding contribution in one category. Faculty members are not expected to fulfill the examples found in every category of the Appendix B tables as a prerequisite to or consequence of promotion, though continued evaluation of faculty in all categories in Appendix B will occur at every promotional level.
