Our highest priority remains delivering a quality and impactful education to our diverse student population. To uphold that commitment, DePaul is retaining all its active tenured faculty positions.
Out of the 240 term faculty who have contracts with the university, six term faculty will not be reappointed for the 2023-24 academic year. Term faculty received notifications from their colleges and schools about their contract renewal status on April 10, the annual Faculty Handbook deadline. Decisions about contract renewals for term faculty were made following joint discussions between the provost and deans, with direct input from department chairs and faculty, based on enrollment levels.
In addition, certain vacant term faculty positions will not be filled. Each college and school will continue to include term faculty members in conversations about the budget process.
