[1] “Report on the Committee on Freedom of Expression” (Yale University, January 1975).

[2] Tenure appointments of less than full-time are permitted only in exceptional circumstances and for a limited duration of time.

[3] These procedures are available to all members of the teaching and research faculty, with the exception of voluntary faculty in the Schools of Medicine and Nursing. Research faculty (as described in Section V) may not seek review of reappointment or promotion decisions related to termination of funding or nonrenewal of the grant or contract from which they are funded.

[4] In the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the complaint should be directed to the dean who chairs the appointments committee (Term or Tenure) to which a proposal for reappointment or promotion would have been directed.

[5] This and subsequent references to the dean shall refer to the dean or a designee of the dean, which may be an individual or a committee.

[6] For a member of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences the adviser may be any member of the ladder faculty of any school or department of the University. Ladder faculty ranks are set forth in Section IV.A.10 of the Faculty Handbook. For members of other faculties the adviser may be any full-time member of the faculty of any school or department.

[7] These procedures are available to all members of the faculty, with the exception of the voluntary clinical faculty of the School of Medicine.

[8] Relevant departments and sections within the Medical School include:  Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Cell Biology, History of Medicine, Immunobiology, Microbial Pathogenesis, Neurobiology and Pharmacology. In addition, the Medical School bridge departments, Epidemiology and Public Health, Genetics, and Pathology, have significant numbers of faculty who hold appointments in the Traditional Track, and thereby simultaneously have Graduate School appointments.

[9] “Report to the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of the Ad Hoc Committee on Policies and Procedures on Tenure Appointments” (Yale University, June 1965).

[10] In some of the professional schools, persons holding the rank of professor adjunct and associate professor adjunct and whose appointments are substantially more than half time in that school are eligible for a Sabbatical Leave of Absence after teaching six years in those ranks at Yale since their last paid leave.

[11] For a variation in the School of Nursing see Section IV.K.9.

[12] Faculty members who wish to take a full-year’s leave by combining outside support with up to one half of their annual salary may do so when eligible for a Sabbatical Leave of Absence (see Section VII.B.3).

[13] See Section VIII.D for a more complete description of these fringe benefit plans.

[14]  For policies governing child care leaves and for maternity policies in the Schools of Medicine and Nursing, consult the appropriate dean.
