We hope that this booklet will help you find your place in the University family and provide answers in the matters of interest to you. If any question arises and you cannot find an answer in this booklet, you may turn directly to the Academic Staff Department which is at your service. The teaching Staff is divided into Junior and Senior members. This Guide is concerned only with Senior Staff members. These rulings apply only to the appointments of full-time faculty.
Special committees consider appointments for researchers.
The term of appointment for a Full Professor is for a trial period of up to one year, unless the Appointments Committee decides otherwise. The extension of appointments and the granting of tenure to ordinary senior Staff in the Regular, Parallel and Research tracks, are academic matters, subject to the decisions of the appointment committees, as stated in the Academic Statutes. The Visiting and Adjunct track are designed for senior Staff serving in another institution of higher learning or research institute, who have been invited by the University for a limited term or in a part-time capacity. This track does not lead to tenure. The length of appointment to the teaching Staff on the External Staff track is for limited terms of not more than eight months each.
