  11. Faculty Contracts • MUSC utilizes annual Faculty Appointment Contracts (FAC) – same format for faculty in each of the Colleges • July 1 – June 30 • For most new faculty, the offer letter serves as the faculty contract through June 30 of the first year of employment. • Thereafter, each faculty member will receive a FAC from their department/division on an annual basis.

  12. Faculty Contracts • Typically prepared by departments and given to faculty in June for review and signature. • Set forth the total anticipated compensation for the faculty member and outline duties, responsibilities and goals for the coming year. • If there are disputes between a faculty member and his/her supervisor regarding the FAC, the Faculty Handbook contains the FAC Dispute Resolution Process (Section 8.11).

  13. Faculty Contracts • The FAC contains guidelines with respect to compensation tied to faculty rank – this is referred to as “Part A” of the FAC compensation section: • Assistant Professor, $60,000 • Associate Professor, $80,000 • Professor, $90,000 • Rank compensation applies only to faculty with “regular” faculty appointments, not to faculty with “modified” or “special” faculty rank appointments. • Any source of funding may be used for the rank compensation component of a faculty member’s salary. • Any potential compensation that exceeds “rank compensation” is included in “Part B” of the FAC compensation section as “Additional Compensation”. This amount can vary from year to year.

  14. Appointment, Promotion and Tenure • Promotion and tenure are different decisions at MUSC with separate criteria • Promotion: reviewed at department and college levels • Tenure: reviewed at department, college, and university levels • COM APT Guidelines- http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/com/faculty/apt/musc/index.html

  15. Promotion • Tenure track • Four tracks: • Clinical Educator – most common • Academic Clinician – clinical researcher • Academic Investigator – basic scientist • Academic Educator – basic science educator • Modified track • Four tracks: • Research • Clinical • Adjunct • Visiting • Ranks are the same in all tracks (Instructor, Assistant Professor, etc.)

  16. Promotion - Tips • Know your track! • It’s possible to switch; discuss with Chair • Develop a plan with your mentor • Check in annually with Chair/Division Director • Know the grid requirements within your track • You may be “successful” in many respects, but if you’re not achieving the specified objectives, you are not making progress toward promotion!

  17. Tenure • Tenure ensures academic freedom, with the expectation that the faculty member will continue to perform according to accepted standards subject to termination for cause, upon retirement, on account of financial exigency or the change or abolition of institutional programs. • Tenure rests in the college or department of primary appointment only.

  18. Tenure • Associate or Full Professors • “Not based upon specific academic skills or attainments. These qualifications are considered in the process of promotion in rank.” • “the individual's long-term value to the University is the central issue” • Clearly less quantifiable, intentional

  19. APT Summary • Know your current track. • Offer letter • Determined by Chair • Be aware of criteria within track/rank. • Be proactive in planning for advancement. • Mentors • Annual conversations/evaluations • Tenure is qualitatively different from promotion.
