Professional Development for Non-Tenure-Track Faculty at Indiana University—Purdue University

Pullias Center for Higher Education (2021)

Of the nearly 5,000 faculty employed at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), 74% are non-tenure-track-faculty (NTTF). Among these NTTF, 45% are full-time and 55% are part-time (adjuncts). IUPUI offers a promotion track for full-time NTTF, providing access (during the spring semester) to the eDossier system that organizes materials/evidence for promotion consideration. All candidates are reviewed by the department/center, school, and at campus level by the Promotion Advisory committee and the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic Affairs. Workshops are provided by the school’s Academic Affairs division to help NTTF prepare their dossier for promotional consideration; typically, NTTF who have served in rank for 3 years are encouraged to apply.
