Defining Faculty Affairs
Faculty Affairs (FA) is the professional field dedicated to supporting the lifecycle of academic personnel at Higher Education Institutions. FA Colleagues manage faculty recruitment, hiring, development, review, success, promotion and tenure processes, ensuring that scholars have the support needed to achieve excellence across our collegiate institutions.
