salary.

and instructor who serve on appointments totaling fifty per cent or more
service to the university and who are eligible for tenure or who have obtained

faculty positions within the university that are not tenure-track and are not
eligible for tenure. This includes the following categories:

Clinical/teaching/practice faculty":

faculty: The titles of clinical professor of practice, clinical associate
professor of practice, clinical assistant professor of practice, and clinical
