Who We Are

FACULTY AFFAIRS

The Duke University Office of Faculty Affairs oversees all Provost-area activities related to faculty recruitment, appointments, promotion and tenure (APT), professorships, awards, leaves, flexible work arrangements, employment records, and reporting. We aid in the interpretation of university policies and regulations related to faculty, ensuring adherence across all academic units. The team also administers several university-wide data stores and web applications such as Scholars@Duke, dFac (Duke@Work), Academic Jobs Online, the Duke Faculty Data Repository, and Symplectic Elements.

We seek to make comprehensive information about Duke faculty easier to collect, review, maintain, analyze, and share. Our mission is to provide services that promote a high-level of consistency, quality, and availability of information and guidelines related to faculty affairs and scholarship. To this end, we partner with faculty and academic staff, policy owners, legal counsel, data owners, and system owners to foster a culture of efficiency, compliance, stewardship, and data awareness.

Faculty Relations

The Office of Faculty Relations is dedicated to fostering a supportive and compliant academic environment. We work closely with deans, department chairs, and other academic leaders across the University and School of Medicine to address complex faculty-related concerns, including performance management, misconduct and policy violations. We also advise faculty members on available resources and processes related to misconduct and performance concerns.
