Professor of Practice modified proposal
Description of Professor of the Practice title (includes link to enabling legislation)
Resolution to Authorize the Bowers College of Computing and Information Science to Use the Professor of the Practice Title
Whereas the Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (CIS) describes its plan to use the title professor-of-the-practice in this document
Whereas this plan is consistent with the enabling legislation for this title;
Be it resolved that the Faculty Senate recommends to the Provost that Bowers CIS be allowed to use the professor-of-the-practice title.
Gentle concerns were raised by some colleagues about the proposed percent limitation. Consensus is that 25 percent is too large even though it is “legal” according to the enabling legislation. After looking over the numbers we agree that 25 percent is unnecessarily large. We would like to modify the proposal so that limitation is set at 15 percent . The new section D is given below.

D. Percentage Limitation
At the time of hire, the number of full time PoP appointments in Bowers CIS (including faculty in the Ithaca and Cornell Tech campus) must not exceed 15 percent of the number of TT appointments in Bowers CIS. Should a new PoP appointment in any unit result in a PoP fraction that is greater than 15 percent of the Bowers CIS TT faculty in that unit, then there must be a consultation among the college department chairs and the Bowers CIS Dean. If the appointment is at Cornell Tech, then the Dean of Cornell Tech must also be consulted before such appointment can be percent.made. The final decision on the appointment is made by the Bowers CIS Dean.
