Faculty Titles


Changes to faculty titles MUST be reviewed and approved by that faculty member's home department. 

If a web maintainer from a Maxwell center wants to update a faculty member's title, that change must be discussed and approved by their home academic department. 

When changing a title, please include that you have confirmed this change with their home department in the note when sending changes for approval and who in the home department confirmed this. 

Title 1

Enter the faculty member's main role with their home unit such as "Professor" or "Assistant Professor".

If they have two or more titles in the SAME unit, use both i.e. "Professor and Chair, Economics Department".


Titles 2 through 7

Use these titles to create affiliations with other units as-needed.
