Revamping Administrative Academic Ranks: New Titles and Consolidated Roles

Changes to Administrative Academic Ranks

To support the revisions to EO59, specifically related to the use of the Administrative Duty Supplement (ADS), three new academic ranks in the Administrative track will be added in Workday: Medical Director; Center/Institute Director; and Major Unit or Program Administrator. Details of the requirements and usage of these titles can be found on the Administrative Appointments section of the Academic Titles & Ranks pages.

Other updates and additions include:

  • Acting/Interim versions of the new administrative academic ranks will also be created.
  • Existing Acting and Interim ranks and job profiles are being updated to include both terms (e.g. Acting/Interim Dean)
  • Associate level administrative titles are being updated to include the term “Vice”, which is used in many units but is not currently reflected in the inventory of administrative academic ranks (e.g. Associate/Vice Dean)
  • Chair and Director academic ranks are being consolidated, as they are used for faculty with administrative responsibilities in academic units at the same level (e.g. Chair – Director, Associate/Vice Chair – Director)

Academic ranks impacted by the consolidation will be inactivated in winter or spring quarter after we’ve had a chance to move any faculty in those titles into one of the new academic ranks.
