Criteria
At least 85 percent of courses offered by the institution are taught by academic staff (i.e., faculty members) who are full-time, tenured, and/or eligible for tenure (“tenure track”).
Recognizing that some academic staff may prefer to work part-time and that institutions may require some part-time instructors to meet demand, this credit does not assume that 100 percent full-time employment is always optimal.
Applicability
This credit is optional and may be earned by any institution.
Scoring
An institution earns 0.5 bonus points when at least 85 percent of courses are taught by academic staff who are full-time, tenured, and/or eligible for tenure (“tenure track”). Partial points are not available.
Measurement
Report on the most recent employment figures available from within the previous three years.
