XIII.C   Faculty Ranks and Appointments

Members of the faculty in the School of Music generally pursue active professional careers in addition to their teaching responsibilities at Yale. Appointments are made on the basis of distinction as an artist and success as a teacher.

1. Faculty Ranks. Faculty positions in the School of Music are at the ranks of lecturer, instructor, assistant professor adjunct, associate professor adjunct, professor adjunct, professor in the practice, professor, and appropriate designations for visiting appointments.

Conductor in residence is an adjunct rank and designates faculty devoting substantial time to the direction of Yale's performing ensembles, principally the Philharmonia Orchestra of Yale.

2. Appointment and Promotion Procedures. Initial appointments for all non-tenured faculty members are normally from one to three years and in no case exceed five years. Appointments recommended by the Governing Board are forwarded to the Provost. Recommendations for appointment at the level of associate professor adjunct and above will be made by the Provost with the advice of the School's Standing Advisory and Appointments Committee (SAAC). The Provost will forward approved recommendations to the Corporation. Recommendations for appointment are made after a thorough search and are reviewed at levels below associate professor adjunct by the Faculty Steering Committee, which also reviews recommendations for promotion in the ranks of lecturer, instructor, and assistant professor adjunct. Recommendations for promotion and tenure in the ranks of associate professor adjunct and above are reviewed by the Governing Board.
