Multi-School/Department Appointments

Northwestern strongly encourages collaboration across departments and schools, and many faculty members hold non-budgetary appointments which are variously called "joint" or "courtesy" or "secondary." In such faculty personnel matters as salary review and consideration for promotion and/or tenure, participation is generally limited to those school(s) or department(s) which provide continuing support for the base salary of the faculty member being considered.
