*Ladder Rank faculty are faculty holding tenured titles or non-tenured titles in a series in which tenure may be conferred.  These series are:  Professorial series, Clinical Professor of Dentistry (50 percent or more time) series, and Supervisor of Physical Education series.

**Senate membership is conferred to a person; if an appointee holds a title eligible for Senate membership and a title eligible for Federation membership, the appointee is a Senate member only.

***Academic Federation membership - an appointee must be salaried and appointed in eligible title for a term of one year or more.

****Faculty-an academic appointee in a School, College, Division, Department, or Program of instruction and research who has independent responsibility for conducting approved regular University courses for campus credit.  Student academic employees are not considered faculty.

*****Equivalent Title-In matters of academic personnel policies and procedures, the University traditionally uses this term to designate certain academic title series and certain ranks of these series that are to be treated on the same basis in relation to some specific policy as corresponding ranks in the professor series. The Agronomist series and the Supervisor of Physical Education series are equivalent to the Professor series for purposes of tenure, leaves of absence and retiring allowances.

******Eight year limit only applies to Assistant Adjunct Professor and Assistant Health Sciences Clinical Professor at 50% time or more.

^ Term appointments must have end dates. Please refer to APM 137 and the appropriate APM policies and/or Contract for the terms of service for each title series. All title series which have an Assistant rank have term limits at that rank. Librarians with Potential Career or Career status have no specific date of termination
