“Most salaries are determined on whether faculty members are tenured, on tenure-track, or are on a non-tenure track,” University spokesperson McGregor McCance said in an email. “The process to determine tenure or promotion is based on the employment policies of each school. [H]owever the process to be tenure or receive a promotion must be approved by the vice president and provost office and the Board of Visitors among others.”
