Conversion to Instructor Appointment

An Instructor who converted from part-time to full-time under Article 11.14 (a), may apply to convert to be a tenured professor. The same process as for tenure review under Article 12 shall apply. If tenure is approved, it shall be effective the subsequent July 1 and the Employee shall be placed on the appropriate Assistant Professor grid step that results in a salary increase for the Employee. Once converted to a tenured professor, the normal promotion process for professorial appointments applies. If conversion to a tenured professor appointment is denied, the Employee shall continue as a continuing Instructor and shall not be eligible to apply for a conversion to tenured professor for three (3) years. (Art. 11.14(h))
