Service Areas – Office for Faculty


The Office for Faculty oversees faculty processes for Main Campus Academic Affairs and is organized into six different service areas, all of which support faculty success: Faculty Support, Faculty Development, Administrative Leaders Development & Support, Faculty Conduct & Dispute Resolution, Policy & Regulations, and Administrative Processes. Each area is staffed by a team of experts who are committed to serving and supporting our faculty and their administrative partners.
