Create and Manage Input Forms for Faculty Classifications
Faculty Classifications provide a basis for classifying faculty members into useful categories within Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180). They enable tracking of faculty characteristics, such as faculty rank, tenure status, and employment status (full-time or part-time). Access to manage Faculty Classifications is a unit permission. Users will need Full Administrative rights. Input Forms for Faculty Classifications (FC) can be provided to faculty to fill out every term/year depending on the institution's practices in updating this data/information.
