Faculty Appointments and Advancement
Faculty Appointments and Advancement (FAA) is a multifaceted unit that serves the faculty, academic administration and campus community of IUPUI in matters pertaining to faculty life. Our mission is to enhance the lives of faculty from their recruitment and hiring, orientation and acclimation, tenure and promotion, sabbatical and other leaves of absence, to post-tenure review and retirement.
FAA's mission is to support schools in their efforts to hire outstanding faculty and in supporting their success at IUPUI. We provide interpretation, implementation, and communication of policies and procedures to faculty, administrators, staff and students, both within and outside of the campus community. Additionally, we provide workshops and programming that enrich faculty experiences and support faculty growth. Finally, we celebrate faculty success with events and ceremonies focused on their awards and honors.
FAA serves as the operational arm of the Dean of the Faculties Office.
