UA Faculty,

This past fall, the Office for Academic Affairs and the Faculty Senate created an ad-hoc committee charged with developing a university-wide policy that will govern the appointment and promotion of non-tenure track renewable contract (NTRC) faculty. This committee’s first task was to develop a policy for NTRC faculty with terminal degrees at the ranks of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Full Professor.  A separate policy for renewable contract faculty at the ranks of lecturer and instructor will be developed next. The committee is finalizing its draft of the policy and creating a set of recommendations for implementing the policy for faculty with terminal degrees at the ranks of Assistant Professor and higher.

The NTRC Policy Draft is found here: http://provost.ua.edu/uploads/3/9/7/6/39760652/ntrc_policy_draft_as_of_3_30.pdf

The committee invites feedback from the campus community regarding the policy itself as well as implementation issues.  Faculty can offer their feedback through two methods:

• a Qualtrics survey and feedback form:https://universityofalabama.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe6/preview/SV_9H82XuvskUp2A9D

• Comments to committee members, listed on the NTRC Policy Draft page: http://provost.ua.edu/ntrc-policy-draft.html
