Faculty Affairs Resources
The Faculty Affairs team has a library of guides and helpful documents in Box to aid administrators through processes. Throughout the academic year, new materials or revised documents will be uploaded into this Box folder for administrator use. If you are a new administrator who is responsible for faculty affairs work and would like access to this folder, or if you have recommendations for new materials to be added to the folder, please email Zoe Canales.
Promotions and Reappointments
Please refer to the Guidelines and Call for Promotions and Reappointments as a guide for all faculty actions over the course of the academic year. This document is edited annually. You are encouraged to familiarize yourself with requirements and protocol for the actions that you oversee. If you have any questions, email Melissa Wocher.
Appointments, Renewals, Promotions and Tenure
The A&S Rules and Procedures for Appointments, Renewals, Promotions, & Tenure is voted on by the A&S faculty and is the official document governing all faculty actions. The rules and laws are applicable to all faculty. These differ from the annual Guidelines and Call document, as the Guidelines provide day-to-day laws and principles of how to go about faculty actions.
Faculty Manual
The Faculty Manual is a guide to university policies and procedures for all Vanderbilt University faculty. This is a useful resource for administrators when assisting faculty members in their unit.
Interns and Observers
The Office of the Provost has a dedicated page of resources and policies for appointments related to Interns and Observers.
