Faculty Affairs

Faculty Affairs concerns administrative aspects of faculty membership, including academic promotion and application for tenure. Related information on professional career development is available on the Office of Professional Development page.

Faculty Affairs policies and procedures are governed by the regulations of the University and Medical School. Faculty members should be familiar with the University of Kansas Handbook for Faculty and Unclassified Staff, the system of Faculty Governance and the By Laws of the Faculty of the School of Medicine (PDF).

Hard copies of the official Handbook are available in Dykes Library, the office of the Executive Vice-Chancellor, the Office of Legal Counsel and the Office of Academic Affairs.
