Definition Instructors hold at least a Master's degree or the equivalent and should be well qualified to teach at the undergraduate level. Such components should be compensated by a teaching off-load. This differentiated work load should be negotiated with the chair of the unit and with the dean. Instructors are members of the ranked or regular faculty and are voting members of the Faculty Assembly after two years of full-time apointment in rank. We recommend that theVCAA determine how these annual average salaries will be calculated.
All instructors are eligible for annual merit increases.
Instructors are eligible for faculty teaching awards and for travel and research money. Instructors are eligible for tuition benefits. Instructors receive retirement benefits after one year of full-time appointment at the University. Instructors should participate in faculty department meetings, with the exception of voting on certain issues, determined by the department, such as promotion and tenure of TT faculty. As part of the 'regular' or 'ranked' faculty, instructors have a re presentative voice on all faculty governing bodies, are included in all surveys of faculty opinion, attend Faculty Assembly meetings with full voting privileges after two years of full-time appointment in rank, and may serve on faculty committees, if they wish to do so.
