SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 195
accordance with the synodical regulations governing nomination,
election, and calling of professors as prescribed in Section E of
the Handbook under the heading “Elections.”

e. The following administrative positions may be created and
filled by the local Board of Control with the prior consent of the
Board for Higher Education: academic dean, dean of men, dean of
the graduate school, dean of the school of missions, dean of cor-
respondence school, registrar (if he functions as admissions officer),
librarian, field work director, and placement officer. Appointments
to these executive positions are to be made or terminated by the
Board of Control upon recommendation of the president of the
institution. Under ordinary circumstances all such administrative
officers will also carry a partial teaching load. All these admin-
istrative offices at the theological seminaries are to be held only
by called personnel, with the faculty rank of professor.

Recommended Wording: 6.51 Members of Teaching Staff

The teaching staff of each educational institution of Synod
shall be composed of all those administrative officers and teachers
who are called by the electors or who are appointed by the Board
of Control. These classifications are provided:

a. Graduate Assistants: Upon recommendation of the president
of the institution, the Board of Control shall appoint an approved
number of graduate assistants recruited primarily from the ranks
of current or recent graduates of the seminaries and teachers
colleges. The original appointment shall be for one year and may
be renewed for a second year. Such personnel may also be classi-
fied as fellows and may at the same time be enrolled as resident
students in the school for graduate studies.

b. Instructors: Upon recommendation of the president of the
institution, the Board of Control shall appoint an approved num-
ber of instructors. Such appointment shall be for two-year terms
and may be renewed in the manner prescribed for the original
appointment. There shall be no restriction on the number of
reappointments which may be offered to an instructor; however,
if reappointment is not contemplated, Boards of Control shall so
notify instructors six months prior to expiration of the current
appointment and upon their request file the name of such instruc-
tors with the Board for Higher Education for listing on the
Board’s roster of available instructors. Upon completion of satis-
factory teaching experience as well as adjustment of any requisite
academic, professional, ministerial, or parish school work, instruc-
tors shall be eligible for reappointment as assistant professors or
for calls to associate professorships or professorships in any synodi-
cal institution, if the qualifications of such a position have been
