From the extensive list of Trustee actions on appointments, reappointments, secondary appointments, leaves and terminations,Almanac gleans those actions reflecting movement into or within the Standing Faculty. These include new appointments andpromotions, and chair designations with or without promotion, in all schools. In the health schools, where reappointmentssometimes include movement from the associated faculty (not in standing faculty) to the clinician-educator track (standing fac-ulty, but not tenure-accruing), those actions are published. Note that clinician-educator titles are recognizable by the form oftitle, “Professor of at (affiliated institution).” The following list shows actions from Trustees minutes ofDecember 9, 1994 and January 20, 1995, representing actions approved at Provost’s Staff Conferences leading up to thosemeetings. Actions marked (*) involve additions to the tenured ranks through appointment, promotion, or conversion.
