Faculties are the academic staff of a university, professors of various ranks, lecturers, and/or researchers. The term faculty in this sense is most commonly used in
this context generally includes professors of various ranks: adjunct
professors, assistant
professors, associate
professors, and (full)
professors, usually tenured (or tenure-track) in terms of their contract of
employment.
Members of university
administration (e.g., department chairs, deans,
vice presidents, presidents, and librarians)
are often also faculty members, in many cases beginning (and remaining) as
professors.
Most university faculty
members hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate degree. Some professionals or instructors from other institutions
who are associated with a particular university (e.g., by teaching some courses
or supervising graduate
students) but do not hold professorships may be appointed as adjunct
faculty.
Other than
universities, some community
colleges and secondary or primary schools use the terms faculty and professor. Other institutions (e.g., teaching hospitals)
may likewise use the term faculty. In countries like the
Philippines, faculty is used more broadly to refer to teaching staff of either
a basic or higher education institution.
