7 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 fifteen graduate degrees with four 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 5

15 Faculty Services Faculty Letter of Appointment Information Faculty Employment Resources; Requests are submitted to the Deans Office by the department(s) in which you are scheduled to teach. Letters of Appointment are typically issued as either: term-only appointments, which last for one semester (fall, winter, spring, or summer) for lecturers, nine-month appointments, which last for two semesters (fall and spring) for lecturers, 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 Faculty Employment Resources 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 Lecturer. Lecturers 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 number of openings for adjunct assistant professor 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 school-wide 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 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. 13

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, off-campus, 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 eligible to receive tuition remission beginning the semester after they have successfully completed their orientation period (90 days after hire).

22 Class Authorization Workshops & Technical Demonstrations Instruction in the safe and proper use of all equipment located in these two shops is provided to all shop users. We do not require prior shop experience in order to participate in tool demos and authorization workshops. However, shop patrons wishing to use band saws, miter saws, sanders, table saws, oxy-acetylene welding, arc welding, TIG, MIG, plasma cutting, and the grinding facility, will need to attend authorization workshops for each tool or tool group prior to use. Instruction in the use of all other equipment is provided on an individual, as needed basis. In addition to tool authorization workshops, the Wood and Metal Shops host technical demonstrations throughout the year. Demonstrations cover topics such as pedestal and display fabrication as well as the proper use of fasteners and anchors for displaying work. In order for us to provide an optimum level of service to the SAIC community, we strongly recommend that faculty contact shop staff prior to the beginning of the semester to schedule class authorization workshops and demonstrations. All requests need to be placed at minimum of two weeks in advance of preferred date. It is expected that faculty will be present with their students during class authorizations and demos.
