Overview

Duke University underwent a faculty nomenclature review in the late 1980’s and formal recommendations were implemented in the early 1990’s. As a result of these recommendations, the University implemented the use of Regular Rank faculty and Non-Regular Rank faculty. In addition to the tenured and tenure track, regular rank included additional faculty titles in which faculty must meet four criteria to be so designated. Regular rank faculty status indexes eligibility to vote in Academic Council elections. The responsibilities and privileges of regular rank, tenure track faculty are described in the Faculty Handbook.

Faculty ranks and titles are described in Chapter 2 of the Faculty Handbook. All faculty job codes start with "15" or "36" and fall within job family 40. Reference your school's specific guidelines regarding which job codes should be used.
