Proposals for all Centers, Institutes, or Other Named or Titled Academic Units.
Revised 6/1/24
A University Center or Institute (See Faculty Manual B6.5) is an independent academic unit of the University with its primary mission being multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary research in an area specified in its charter. It involves faculty from different schools or different departments of a single school. A University Center or Institute, or any other such academic unit, however named or titled, shall not award tenure, confer degrees, or offer primary faculty appointments.
Other Named or Titled Academic Units (See Faculty Manual Section B6.6) coordinate and promote research, instruction, conferences, seminars, workshops, etc., within a specified area. No such unit may award tenure, confer degrees, or offer primary faculty appointments independent of a department. Approval of the Faculty Senate and the President is not required if the unit is only a physical location or overwhelmingly engaged in the provision of clinical services to patients.
All non-CIM proposals must be submitted via the Proposal Submission Form submission form and include the documents outlined here.
