I am the Director of Learning Assistance at a 2 yr. community college. There is no tenure for anyone here, but it takes an act of congress to budget anyone out, if they so wanted. As far as rank, we have "professors" and "associate professors". Our librarians are faculty, but the professionals in the Learning Assistance area (myself included) are professional staff with no special designation although our educational credits may be greater than half the faculty on campus. -----Original Message----- From: Lori Nielsen [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2000 9:36 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: rank & tenure I've been asked to provide information about whether learning center directors & professional staff have rank and tenure at other institutions. Do you? DId you follow the same process as other faculty members, and meet the same criteria? So far, I've looked for this information in the NADE, CRLA, & NCLCA websites and various links from those sites. I know the topic has come up on LRNASST before, and I could search the LRNASST files if I had more time. My next step is to look through the professional journals from NADE, CRLA, & NCLCA. But if someone has already collected this information, please send me a copy! If someone has located this information, please tell me where it is! BTW, I am the L.C. Director at a small, 4-yr., private, liberal arts college. The professional librarians do not have rank or tenure either. Our status is non-teaching faculty. The topic of rank & tenure has now come up in our faculty affairs committee. Thank you for ANY guidance you can provide! You may respond to me privately at any of the addresses below or respond to the list.
