Instructor with Special Provision

As permitted by the Tenure Regulations, an appointment "at the rank of Instructor may be made on the specified condition that automatically upon the conferral of a specified academic degree the instructor shall be reappointed at the rank of assistant professor."  In such cases the appointment to assistant professor shall be retroactive to the effective date of instructor or to the July 1st or January 1st immediately preceding the conferral of the degree whichever is nearest in point of time.

The removal of this contingency clause requires the approval of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost and the Chancellor's Office.
