Some use it to mean those people who report to the VP for Academic Affairs. Others mean those faculty who are Officers of Instruction. OAs are faculty. Currently, the Senate Budget Committee's work relates to OIs. When the State legislature talks about faculty and faculty salaries some are talking about all faculty.
