CoNTTF Rep involved

•

The Department of Biomedical Sciences has revised its code and formed a

committee (3 NTTF, 1 TTF and the Chair) to summarize the criteria for

promotion.

•

Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences (MCIN, a special

academic unit) is revising its code with input from NTTF.

•

The College is evaluating how NTTF and TTF are integrated and what role

the CVMBS Special Faculty Advisory committee will have moving forward

•

The diversity of NTTF in CVMBS may require more work on NTTF

promotion criteria, etc. at the departmental level where there is more

similarity among NTTF types (teaching, research or clinical).

•

Departments are making progress in code updates related to

both appointment types and promotional criteria.

•

Several meetings in January addressed working to complete the

updates this spring.

•

At least one department, CEE, had already revised their Code

to allow NTT faculty to serve on committees and vote on all

issues except those involving tenure and promotion of TT/T

faculty, and now language simply needs to be updated to

reflect the new appointment types.
