The Faculty Affairs Team consists of two (2) faculty members representing each academic unit. Members must have at least four years full-time experience in higher education to be eligible for service on the Faculty Affairs Team.

The Faculty Affairs Team functions to advise the Office of the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs and to provide a direct faculty voice and source of informal appeal regarding personnel-related matters pertaining to faculty. The team reviews and recommends policies concerning all matters relating to: faculty status of positions not clearly defined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement or BOR; annual review, promotion, and reappointment issues within and across academic units; transition from multi-year to tenure-track appointments and vice-versa; merit criteria; the availability and allocation of summer support opportunities; sabbaticals and leaves of absence, professional development and resource support, and office assignment; the ownership and use of intellectual property such as taped lectures and material, electronic/digital resources; academic freedom and integrity issues.
