Campus Innovations for Supporting Non-Tenure Track Faculty

Campus Innovations for Supporting Non-Tenure Track Faculty
Transforming Culture, Resources, and Practices that Enable Inclusion and Student Success
The Delphi Award, given in partnership by AAC&U and the Pullias Center for Higher Education at the University of Southern California (USC), recognizes two campuses each year for outstanding innovation in creating institutional change to support non-tenure-track faculty. This webinar will showcase the winners of the 2021 Delphi Award: the University of Denver and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Panelists will discuss how they created policies and practices to support contingent faculty at their institutions, including tenure-track faculty lines for teaching, multiyear contracts for non-tenure track faculty, and participation in campus governance. In addition to guiding the discussion, moderators from AAC&U and USC will provide background on the Delphi Award and application information for interested campuses.
Date and Time:1:00–2:00 p.m. ET
