III. N. DeKalb Technical College

Criteria for Listing Faculty/Staff in Catalog

This policy addresses the criteria for listing faculty and professional staff in the DeKalb Technical College Catalog and provides a standardized structure for the treatment of biographical and educational information.

For the purpose of this policy professional staff refers to those employees who perform as a salaried employee in a highly skilled or supervisory role at the College. 

Names are compiled into one master alphabetical list by the Office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs; faculty and professional staff are identified by the program area in which they are teaching.  The compiled list is submitted to the Human Resources Office for verification of degrees and current employment status.

Currently employed faculty and professional personnel are listed at the time the Catalog information is submitted to the printer, for the subsequent Catalog. Those individuals currently on staff who have resigned in writing, for purposes of retirement or otherwise, will not be included in the printing of the upcoming catalog.

All earned degrees for professional personnel are listed unless omission is requested by the individual and approved by the President. Honorary degrees are not included. Where more than one degree is earned from a College, the College is named only once; the name of the College is repeated when “additional graduate study” is listed. Degrees are listed for professional personnel only when transcripts verifying those degrees are on file in the employee’s official personnel record located in the Office of Human Resources.

Listings will include experience and associate degrees if one has less than a baccalaureate degree.

Certificates, such as C.D.P., C.P.A., and D.A.S.L. are listed as they represent a level of professional achievement related to one’s assignment; the R.N. is listed whenever one does not have a master’s degree in nursing.

The year listed in the Catalog is the year the faculty or staff was employed full-time.

An instructor, who teaches in more than one field, will only be listed for the principal teaching field assigned.  Faculty members on leave will be listed.

Titles, such as “Miss,” “Mrs.,” “Mr.,” or “Dr.”, are not used.

Fragmentary academic work, such as a two or three-hour course is not listed.

The name of the college or university is used as listed in the current edition of the College Bluebook, even though a transcript may show an earlier name.

Degrees are listed in the style of the Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education Guide unless the degree granting College has its own abbreviation; for example, the degree listed as “M.S. in Education” on the transcript, is listed as M.S.Ed in the Catalog.

The teaching field, area, or discipline is listed by the instructor’s name; this is not necessarily the name of the department.

A degree granted by a college no longer in existence is listed under the name of that college unless its charter has been acquired by another College, which legally claims its alumni and degrees.

Undergraduate or graduate work, later included as part of a degree, is not listed, except for the college where the degree is received.
