Information For NTT Faculty: Summary of FTT Transition Form and Process
by Liliana Gutierrez
Dear COEHD NTT Faculty,
I have received a few emails with questions regarding the transition of current NTT faculty titles. Below is summarized information to help you better understand.
* The term Non-Tenure-Track (NTT) faculty has been renamed to Fixed-Term-Track (FTT) faculty.
* If you are a current NTT (now FTT) faculty, you need to complete the FTT Transition Form by December 11, 2020, to indicate whether you wish to transition to the updated titles, or go up for promotion into another title. Please see the attached transition plan for titles that are changing. VPAA will provide additional information about next steps in early January 2021.
Please complete the FTT Transition Form<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Futsa.az...> by December 11, 2020.
[If the link above does not work, click here: https://utsa.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2a6CPJI3jAUTYah<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Futsa.az...>]
* If you do not submit the FTT Transition Form by Dec. 11, you will be automatically transitioned into your updated title, and promotion this academic year will not be available. The last question on the FTT Transition Form specifically asks if you wish to go up for promotion into another title.
* Faculty who would like to consider promotion to a higher rank than that shown in the transition plan table can prepare a promotion packet, following the "Promotion Guidelines for Fixed-Term-Track Faculty<https://provost.utsa.edu/home/Evaluation/fixed/index.asp>." The completed packet must be completed by January 31 for consideration before the end of the spring semester. All appointments in Fall 2021 will be considered as a year 1 appointment for ranks which now have a time limit of 10 years. VPAA will provide additional information about next steps in early January 2021.
* If an FTT faculty member applies for promotion to a higher title in Spring 2021 according to the new FTT faculty promotion guidelines<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprovost...> and does not get the promotion, they will be automatically transitioned to the new title reflected in the transition plan<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprovost...> effective Fall 2021. They will be eligible for promotion in the future.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.

Subject: Changes to NTT Titles and Recruitment, Evaluation and Promotion
We are excited to announce changes to HOP 2.02 and 2.50 that describe faculty appointments, titles and recruitment, evaluation, and promotion for Fall 2021. These proposed changes are the result of a process that started with the non-tenure-track (NTT) faculty committee of the Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars (ADTS).

[Changes to NTT Titles and Recruitment, Evaluation and Promotion]<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uts...>
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce changes to HOP 2.02<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.utsa...> and 2.50<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uts...> that describe faculty appointments, titles and recruitment, evaluation, and promotion for Fall 2021. These proposed changes are the result of a process that started with the non-tenure-track (NTT) faculty committee of the Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars (ADTS). Composed of NTT and tenured faculty members, the committee's goal is to improve the status of NTT faculty at UTSA and to enhance the institutional climate in which they work.
In 2014-15, several committee members conducted surveys and focus groups of a representative group of NTT faculty from several colleges and prepared a white paper for the provost, Moving Toward One Faculty at UTSA<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fprovost....>. In the summer of 2018, the committee presented an updated white paper to Provost Espy shortly after her hire with revised recommendations. At her urging, the NTT committee then spent six months examining policies and procedures related to NTT faculty at our aspirant and sister institutions. Utilizing this research and leveraging the changes by UT System to the faculty title series, Provost Espy charged the NTT committee with drafting revised policies and guidelines for NTT faculty, specifically HOP 2.02 and 2.50, in conjunction with Academic Affairs colleagues.
In Fall 2019, the NTT Titles and Promotion Working Group was established with members Valerie Sponsel (chair), Diane Abdo, Hector Aguilar, Vangie Aguilera, Gina Amatangelo, Tracy Cowden, Jennifer Dilley, Sedef Doganer, Kirsten Gardner, David Hansen, Patricia Jaramillo, Ashok Nedungadi, Debra Pena, William Ramos, Lindsay Ratcliffe, Dixie Shaw-Tillmon, David Vance, Deborah Wagner, and Karen Williams. The group has worked to collaborate, iterate, and substantiate drafted revisions to HOP 2.02 and 2.50 and to develop a plan for transition based on the updated standards. We thank the Working Group for their diligent and dedicated work to provide consistency across colleges and departments on appointments and promotion.
The following major changes have been made to HOP 2.02 and 2.50:
* Non-tenure-track faculty have been renamed to fixed-term-track (FTT) faculty, in order for faculty members to be defined by what they are, rather than what they are not.
* Titles for FTT faculty at UTSA will be:
* Lecturer, Senior Lecturer,
* Assistant, Associate, and Professor of Instruction (new series)
* Assistant, Associate, and Professor of Practice,
* Assistant, Associate, and Professor of Research,
* Clinical Assistant, Associate, and Professor.
* FTT faculty in the new Professor of Instruction series will be expected to have a terminal degree in their field.
* FTT faculty in the Professor of Practice series will have a terminal degree or be qualified to teach by virtue of professional experience in lieu of typical academic credentials.
* A promotion process and guidelines has been developed to move FTT faculty through the ranks.
The Working Group, in collaboration with Academic Affairs, has developed a transition plan<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprovost...> to convert faculty to the updated titles. In addition, promotion guidelines<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprovost...> for FTT faculty have been developed for faculty members wishing to pursue this opportunity. The transition process will occur during Spring 2021 to be effective Fall 2021.
An electronic form will be sent to all FTT faculty soon inquiring whether they wish to transition to the updated titles or go up for promotion into another title; the form should be returned by Dec. 11, 2020.
This work has been an important step to supporting and recognizing our FTT faculty colleagues and creating a strong faculty body that supports student success.
With warm regards,

F&A use guideline/update/notice
by Michael Karcher
Dear Colleagues,
The question of whether faculty or departments can use F&A to pay for annual professional memberships “no.” Many of us assumed not, but because guidelines suggested it could be used for memberships to research societies, it was worth checking.
Relatedly, F&A distributions from FY20 will hit accounts before the end of December.
A good practice is to make sure to use your F&A accounts each semester to ensure they do not become deemed “dormant.” I know of no time F&A accounts have been swept by upper (or any) administration, but for dormant accounts of any kind that is always a possibility.

Hi Everyone,
While I am replying to Michael, I wanted to include the ADR team here.
F&A Funds cannot be used to pay for Professional Society Membership unless they are explicitly titled as “research societies”.
For example, I pay for my ASME, IIE, … memberships from my pocket.
Thanks,
Can

Subject: Quick question about F&A use “membership in research societies”
Hi Can,
Sorry to bother you with this quick, but specific, question. But I bet you can answer it.
In your F&A use guidelines, it states F&A can be used for “membership in research societies”
Does “research society” include “professional organizations”? Like in psychology, faculty pay for annual membership dues to the American Psychological Association. Can faculty and Departments use their F&A for these costs?
Or, does “research societies” mean something different than that?
Thank you,
Michael
