The Office of Faculty Affairs aims to work collaboratively with colleagues across the university to ensure that CUNY is a place where faculty are supported and recognized for their essential contributions to our students, the university and their disciplines. Current areas of emphasis include:

  • Faculty development
  • Cultivating academic leadership
  • Reviewing central office policies and procedures with the goal of revising those that hinder the ability of the colleges to recruit, hire and retain faculty
  • Identifying areas where the Office of Academic Affairs can help the university and the colleges address faculty-related issues
