Information for COE Faculty
Faculty: For most matters, your Department Administrative Manager or Chair should be your first point of contact.
New faculty: The Executive Vice President and Provost’s Faculty Development Office offers New Faculty Launch, a year-long program including in-depth sessions on core topics including research, scholarship, creative endeavors, teaching, mentorship, service, and promotion and tenure, as well as informal social opportunities to meet colleagues across campus. This program is available to all new tenured and tenure-track faculty, and new professional-track faculty appointed at 50% FTE or higher. A kick-off event for the program takes place in August, prior to the first day of fall classes.

COE: Faculty Evaluation > Faculty Review Clocks - effects of different types of leave on promotion & tenure and review clocks
In the case of one’s own serious health condition, to care for a spouse, child, or parent with a serious health condition, or for the birth and care of one’s own child or the placement of a child for adoption or foster care with the faculty member, Family and Medical Leave may be requested. FML covers premium sharing during the period approved.
Modified Instructional Duties (EVPP)
Tenure-track and full-time faculty may request one semester of modified instructional duties (MID). This arrangement allows classroom teaching duties to be replaced with a pre-accepted alternative work assignment, when personal circumstances temporarily prevent the performance of classroom teaching duties, and when the arrangement is found to be in the interest of the University’s instructional programs. MID is not to be used where sick leave is more appropriate.
