Under two newly approved Administrative听Policy Statements (APS) and a new state provision, CU Boulder baby直播app members who specialize in teaching will have new teaching professor titles (APS 5060). Additionally, CU Boulder can now award a five-year contract as the maximum multi-year appointment for specialized baby直播app on the teaching and clinical tracks (APS 5053).听

鈥淭he campus鈥檚 key guiding principle for both these changes is to promote consistent practices regarding titles and contract lengths for teaching and clinical baby直播app across colleges/schools,鈥 said Michele Moses, vice provost and associate vice chancellor for baby直播app affairs.听

The five-year contract is to be used as a mechanism to reward the best teaching-track baby直播app; they are not to be used for new hires.

  • At CU Boulder, the offer of one-year or multi-year contracts for a teaching/clinical-track baby直播app member will be based on various factors including (but not limited to) seniority, merit, performance听and unit teaching needs.听
  • Expedited review for reappointment will not be available for those on five-year contracts, in alignment with the parallel requirement that tenured baby直播app go through a full post-tenure review every five years.听

Moses said the campus will receive further guidance on instructor titles as they are implemented by the CU system for the campuses.听
