Professor Eve DeRosa
Dean of Faculty
305 Day Hall
Dear Dean DeRosa:
On behalf of the Bowers CIS faculty, I am submitting the attached proposal that would authorize use of the Professor of the Practice title.
We believe that our proposal complies with the enabling legislation. Indeed, it is modeled after the PoP proposals that have already been approved by the Faculty Senate:
| 2015 | College of Engineering | Proposal Resolution 106 |
| 2015 | College of Agriculture and Life Science | Proposal Resolution 111 |
| 2016 | College of Arts and Sciences | Proposal Resolution 116 |
| 2021 | School of Industrial and Labor Relations | Proposal Resolution 176 |
| 2015 | College of Human Ecology | Proposal Resolution 104 |
| 2010 | JGSM | Proposal Resolution 89 103 |
| 2015 | LAW | Proposal Resolution 108 |
| 2015 | AAP | Proposal Resolution 114 |
Approval will enable Bowers CIS to compete more effectively with other top CIS programs that already make use of the title, e.g., CMU, MIT, Berkeley, U Washington, and Princeton.
The proposal was approved by our faculty as follows:
| Approve | Disapprove | Abstain | DNV | |
| Tenured and Tenure Track Faculty | 87 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
| RTE Faculty | 15 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Professor Charlie Van Loan (cfv3@cornell.edu) is available to answer any questions that may arise during the review by the Committee on Academic Programs and Policy.
Sincerely,
Kavita Bala,
Dean, Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science
