Fixed-Term and Research Faculty
Mission StatementIn Spring 2004, revisions to the EMS College constitution called for the
establishment of a standing Fixed-Term & Research Faculty Advisory
Committee (FTRFAC). This committee provides avenues for the fixed-term and research faculty to serve as a group in discharging the aims and objectives of the College, and to submit proposed actions through appropriate channels to the College and University administration. In short, the FTRFAC serves as the primary fixed-term and research faculty liaison to the Dean.
The Fixed-Term & Research Faculty Advisory Committee (FTRFAC) is composed of representatives from each academic department, institute and
alliance in EMS. Committee members serve three-year terms that are staggered to ensure institutional continuity.

In 2006, the FTRFAC put together a handbook geared specifically towards the concerns of FT&R faculty:

Fixed-Term & Research Faculty Promotion Guidelines
In Spring 2005, the College of EMS established a new policy regarding the appointment, evaluation and promotion of its fixed-term and research faculty. This policy standardizes ranks and provides a promotion track for FT&R faculty who would like to make a career of their positions in the College.
The College policy left the details of the promotion review process up to the departments and institutes. These details can be found in the links below:
