**SYLLABUS**

This sub is for discussions amongst college & university faculty. Whether you are an adjunct, a lecturer, a grad TA or tenured stream if you teach students at the college level, this space is for you! While we welcome students and non-academics lurking and learning, posts and comments are not allowed. If you're new here, please familiarize yourself with the sub rules and follow them. If you're ever unsure, feel free to reach out to the moderators for clarification.

**Rule 1: Faculty Only.** This sub is intended as a space for those actively engaged in teaching at the college/university level to discuss. As such, we do not allow posts or comments from students or non-academics. For graduate student TAs and others who may find themselves in dual student/instructor roles, we ask that you post here "as an instructor" rather than "as a student". If you are not a faculty member and wish to discuss topics with us, there are several subs for that purpose, including: /r/AskProfessors, r/AskAcademia, r/gradschool, r/AskStudents_Public, r/academia, etc.

**Rule 2: No "Job Search" Questions.** This includes asking how to become a professor, how to put together your materials, etc. An exception is made for current faculty changing positions / on the market who might have nuanced questions about dealing with challenges in switching universities.

**Rule 3: No Incivility.** We expect discussion to stay civil even when you disagree, and while venting and expressing frustration is fine it needs to be done in an appropriate manner. Personal attacks on other users (or people outside of the sub) are not allowed, along with overt hostility to other users or people.

**Rule 4: No Bigotry.** Racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of bigotry are not allowed and will lead to suspensions or bans. While the moderators try not to penalize politically challenging speech, it is essential that it is delivered thoughtfully and with consideration for how it will impact others. Low-effort "sloganeering" and "hashtag" mentalities will not be tolerated.

**Rule 5: No Inappropriate Content.** We do not allow posts about sexual fantasies, discussions of crushes, dating students/faculty, or anything of a similar nature.

**Rule 6: No Spam.** If you're posting the same article to multiple subs, or copying and pasting the same content, you can expect it to be removed and repeated violations will result in suspensions or bans. This includes advertising your own or others content.

**Rule 7: No Surveys.** Our default is that no surveys are allowed. We will occasionally make exceptions for surveys that are IRB approved, are posted by a faculty member, and specifically target users in this community. If you feel your survey meets these criteria, reach out via ModMail and we will consider it. Polls using the built-in functionality are perfectly acceptable.

**Rule 8: No Blind Links.** If you post a link to an article, your post title must be the same as the article you are linking to, with an allowance for parenthetical contextualization at the end (e.g., country or school). As this is a discussion forum, authors should provide some starting discussion on the article in question that introduces the article and establishes context and relevance for the readers of the sub. Links with no context from the poster will likely be considered spam (*See Rule #6*).
