4.12
Return of University Presidents to Faculty Status The selection and retention of university presidents does not
differ significantly from the selection and retention of other administrators who are
members of the faculty. Where the presidents
are individuals drawn from a faculty, they desire to retain their academic associations. As in the case of other administrators who are
faculty members, personnel and institutional considerations may arise which might make it
appropriate for presidents to return to full-time faculty responsibilities. The opportunity to do this should exist within the
university itself. The Board of Regents
regards this as a personnel matter common to administrators who hold faculty rank and
wishes to treat the university presidents in the same way as it does other university
administrators who have faculty rank. To this
end, the Board acknowledges its faculty commitment to the president and will provide for
the return to the faculty of a president. In
doing so, the Board will consider the president’s standing in regard to peers in the
discipline and the need for reorientation to the discipline. |
