5 The School of the Art Institute of Chicago Sharp Building, 37 South Wabash Avenue MacLean Center, 112 South Michigan Avenue Columbus Drive Building, 280 South Columbus Drive Sullivan Center, 36 South Wabash Avenue Telephone: Website: saic.edu The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), a leading professional school of art and design, is affiliated with the Art Institute of Chicago museum within one of the country s most exciting and diverse cultural communities. SAIC currently enrolls 3,200 full-time students and employs approximately 140 full-time faculty, 500 part-time faculty, and 300 staff members. What most distinguishes SAIC from other art and design schools is the breadth and depth of its curriculum and the freedom our students have to navigate among choices of study. A commitment to experimentation is perhaps the most significant quality of SAIC s undergraduate and graduate programs. One aspect of this commitment is that students often cross between disciplines in their art making, designing, art historical research, critical thinking, and writing. SAIC offers six undergraduate degrees and sixteen graduate degrees with three post-baccalaureate programs and certificates. Undergraduate Degrees Bachelor of Fine Arts Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Emphasis in Art Education Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Emphasis in Writing Bachelor of Arts in Art History Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Critical Studies Bachelor of Interior Architecture Consecutive Degree BFA and BA in VCS Graduate Degrees Master of Fine Arts in Studio Master of Fine Arts in Writing Master of Arts in Art Education Master of Arts in Art Therapy Master of Arts in Arts Administration and Policy Master of Arts in Modern and Contemporary Art History Master of Arts in New Arts Journalism Master of Arts in Teaching Master of Arts in Visual and Critical Studies Master of Science in Historic Preservation Master of Architecture Master of Architecture with an Emphasis in Interior Architecture Master of Design in Designed Objects Master of Design in Fashion, Body, and Garment Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts Dual Degree MA in Modern & Contemporary Art History and MA in Arts Administration & Policy Post-Baccalaureate Programs & Certificate Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Fashion, Body, and Garment Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Studio Graduate Certificate in Historic Preservation The School of the Art Institute of Chicago 3

Letters of Appointment are typically issued as either: term-only appointments, which last for one semester (fall, winter, spring, or summer) for instructors, 9-month appointments, which last for two semesters (fall and spring) for instructors, or 12-month appointments for full-time faculty, visiting artists, and adjunct faculty with benefits. You will receive three copies of your Letter of Appointment via mail. You must return two signed copies to the Deans Office prior to the beginning of the semester; keep one copy for your records. Faculty Titles and Rank Part-Time Part-time faculty members are generally hired at the rank of Instructor. Instructors generally teach two to three courses per year. When there is exceptional curricular need, they can teach a maximum of five courses total between the fall and spring semesters and may take additional assignments during the winter interim and summer semester. Guidelines for promotion to Adjunct ranks are posted on Faculty Dashboard under Opportunities. Promotions to the Rank of Adjunct Assistant Professor depend on the openings for adjunct assistant professors available in each department due to program growth or, more likely, departures of other adjunct assistant professors. Criteria for eligibility for promotion to the rank of Adjunct Assistant Professor are teaching effectiveness, professional involvement, and a minimum of three years or equivalent as a faculty member at SAIC. The Adjunct Review Committee considers departmental support, student evaluations, original date of hire, courses taught, and letters of recommendation. Promotions to Adjunct Associate Professor schoolwide depend on the number of Adjunct Associate Professor positions approved by the Academic Affairs and Budget and Planning Committees of the Board of Governors. Criteria for eligibility for promotion to the rank of Adjunct Associate Professor are teaching effectiveness, a minimum of five years as a faculty member at SAIC, and professional involvement. The Adjunct Review Committee considers departmental support, student evaluations, original date of hire, and letters of recommendation. Promotion to the rank of Adjunct Professor begins with nomination by the department, and is reserved for individuals who meet all of the qualifications of Adjunct Associate Professor, but have also achieved a significant reputation in their field and can be described as experienced master teachers. Faculty who plan to apply for promotion should work closely with their department heads and administrative staff regarding the process and timetable. Those who work regularly in more than 8 Faculty Services

11 one department should ask one of their department heads to supervise the process, and request a letter of support from the other(s). Promotion to Adjunct ranks entitle the faculty member access to institutionally supported medical, dental, and welfare benefits if the minimum teaching requirements (six credit hours in fall and spring) are met. Adjunct Associate Professors and Adjunct Professors with 10-year continuous employment are eligible to participate in the Tuition Exchange Scholarship program. Timetables and procedural guidelines are available in the Faculty Handbook and Faculty Handbook Supplement. Your Contact Information Your name, address, social security number, phone number(s), and address(es) are held in strict confidence, but they should be updated whenever a change is made. Please access the Self-Service system to review your contact information and revise as appropriate. Background Checks Faculty Employment Resources; , facultyservices@saic.edu An offer of employment from SAIC is contingent upon your legal eligibility to work in the United States either as a U.S. citizens or as a foreign citizen with the necessary authorization, as well as successful completion of a background check. You must complete a background check no less than 72 hours before your teaching assignment begins. You will be unable to teach if your background check has not been processed. Any irregularities with your background check, i.e. an indication of a police record, are forwarded to the Dean s Office for review and evaluation of employment impact. Upon an offer of employment you will be instructed on the steps needed to complete your background check from the Faculty Employment Resources Department via the you supplied on your Personal Information form.

The School, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether you have satisfactorily completed these items. In the event that the School determines that you have not, your First Contract/ Letter of Appointment/Letter of Appointment will be null and void and neither party hereto shall have any claim against the other. Federal and State Income Tax Item for Faculty The IRS accepts the fact that Full-time Faculty at SAIC can only achieve and maintain full-time tenured status if there is evidence of professional involvement, outside recognition by peers, the industry and/or profession and evidence of ongoing professional activity such as documentation of work and exhibition, publications reviews, etc. As such, annual Faculty Contracts include the following language: You are expected to be a practicing artist or scholar and to maintain a working studio or office, offcampus, and at your own expense. This passage is intended to provide support for faculty who claim deductions for the expense of maintaining an off-campus studio or office. Since it is in our contract, the IRS recognizes it as a required expense for those who maintain such workspaces. Tuition Remission The tuition remission benefits outlined below can be applied to courses offered by SAIC, and to courses offered by other institutions via SAIC s Off-Campus Programs (including those at Roosevelt University). Active full-time, part-time, special projects staff, and retirees (as defined in section 15.1 of the Tuition Remission Policy in the Employee Guidelines) are now eligible to receive tuition remission beginning the semester after they have successfully completed their orientation period (90 days after hire). In addition, full-time and part-time faculty are eligible for tuition remission for any semester for which they have an active faculty contract.

Links to the Faculty Handbook, Handbook Supplement and Legal Supplement can be found in the left-side menu. below the Quicklinks section. The Faculty Handbook is a document designed to state the principles of governance and the exercise of responsibilities pertaining to faculty members of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The Handbook, with the Handbook Supplement, is therefore intended to provide information to faculty members concerning the organization and governance of the School; the responsibilities, both individual and collective, of faculty members; faculty recruitment, appointment, retention, and advancement as professionals; and the rights, benefits, and privileges of faculty members and members of the SAIC community. Policy on Consensual Faculty/Student Relationships SAIC has determined that there is an inherent conflict of interest when a teacher and a student simultaneously maintain both a direct teacherstudent relationship or similar relationship of academic supervision and a consensual sexual or romantic relationship. Due to this conflict of interest, no teacher should initiate or participate in institutional or educational decisions involving a direct benefit or penalty to a person with whom that teacher has, or has had, a sexual or romantic relationship. In particular, a teacher who has, or has had, sexual or romantic relations with a student is prohibited from teaching that student in a class, supervising that student in research or graduate work or as a TA or employee of any kind, serving on that student s critique panel, or recommending that student for fellowships, awards, or employment. Engaging in such a relationship while in this supervisory or teaching role is a violation of the policy. Any faculty member or other instructor who violates this policy shall be subject to sanctions commensurate with the magnitude of the harm caused, if any. For example, faculty may be able to minimize harm by promptly removing themselves from their teaching, supervisory, evaluative, or recommending role in a way that safeguards, to the greatest extent possible, the welfare of the students. Violations of this policy can lead to corrective action 16 Faculty Handbook

Elected Faculty Representatives Both full-time and part-time faculty who are elected by their peers serve SAIC in a variety of important ways. Through institution-wide elections, they serve as representatives of their constituencies within the administration, and contribute to the shaping of institutional policies, procedures, and programs. Elected Faculty serve, for example, as Division Chairs with three-year terms within the central administration, and participate in searches, contract reviews and tenure appointments. Elected representatives serve on the Faculty Senate, the Academic Steering Committee, Part-Time Concerns Committee, Faculty Contract & Tenure Review Board, and on the Dean s selection committees for enrichment grants, team-teaching awards, Professor Research Days, Adjunct Paid-Leaves, merit raise review, and residency opportunities. In addition to the regular meetings of standing committees throughout the year, each semester the school-wide All Faculty Meetings provide an opportunity to receive updates and provide feedback. Full-Time Faculty Elected Positions There are five areas of governance in which elected Full-time Faculty Representatives participate in SAIC s administration the Division Chairs within the Deans Office, Faculty Business Senate, various Senate Committees, Faculty Contract and Tenure Review Board, and the Full-time Faculty Representative-at-Large who participates in Department Heads, Faculty Business Senate, Academic Steering, and the Faculty Senate Committees.

Departments are expected to establish and maintain a file of all syllabi for their current courses, and a history of syllabi is recommended for reference. Syllabi typically include: A summary description and goals of the course Criteria for successful completion of the course, outlining assignments and other measures as appropriate such as class participation, progress, and punctuality Faculty member s policy on attendance May include criteria for unsuccessful completion of course Planned absences where faculty member will not be present in class Planned field trips that are a required part of the course Plagiarism statement to be used on syllabi: The School of the Art Institute of Chicago prohibits dishonesty such as cheating, plagiarism, or knowingly furnishing false information to the School (Students Rights and Responsibilities, Student Handbook). Plagiarism is a form of intellectual theft. One plagiarizes when one presents another s work as one s own, even if one does not intend to. The penalty for plagiarizing may also result in some loss of some types of financial aid (for example, a No Credit in a course can lead to a loss of the Presidential Scholarship), and repeat offenses can lead to expulsion from the school. To find out more about plagiarism and how to avoid it, use SAIC s Avoid Plagiarism - Quick Guide found under Guides and Forms on SAIC s Academic Advising Page at: saic.edu/lifeatsaic/ academicadvising/ DLRC statement to be used on syllabi: Accommodations for Students with Disabilities SAIC is committed to full compliance with all laws regarding equal opportunities for students with disabilities. Students with known or suspected disabilities, such as a Reading/Writing Disorder, ADD/ADHD, and/or a mental health or chronic physical condition who think they would benefit from assistance or accommodations should first contact the Disability and Learning Resource Center (DLRC) by phone at or at saic.edu/dlrc. DLRC staff will review your disability documentation and work with you to determine reasonable accommodations. They will then provide you with a letter outlining the approved accommodations for you to deliver to all of your instructors. This letter must be presented before any accommodations will be implemented. You should contact the DLRC as early in the semester as possible. The DLRC is located on the 13th floor of 116 South Michigan Avenue. Plagiarism Please follow the procedures for academic misconduct/plagiarism described in the Student Handbook. In summary, if a student is suspected of academic misconduct/plagiarism the faculty member should: Review the allegation, sanction, and communicate this to the student. Offer to meet with the student if they wish to discuss the finding. (Note: this meeting is not expected to impact the outcome, and faculty are only asked to offer to meet if the student declines to meet or respond, the process moves forward as below). Assign a grade for the project/paper/class as appropriate and inform the student of this in writing. Refer the student to the Student Handbook for detailed information about student rights and responsibilities in an academic misconduct process. Inform the Department Chair and the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs for Academic Advising. If a student wishes to dispute the finding, he or she should contact the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs for Academic Advising. Faculty teaching any First Year courses, including Art History Survey, Essay Writing, Writing Workshop, or First Year Seminar, must include a statement on their syllabi stating SAIC s policy on plagiarism.
