Colleagues,

I have been asked by my chair to conduct an informal survey regarding the
status of the university art gallery director on other campuses. The issues
are; is the art gallery director's appointment a staff or faculty position;
how is the person evaluated; and how does the person in the director's
position advance to higher pay levels?

The job title for the gallery director at UM-St. Louis is Gallery
Director/Assistant Professor and this appointment is under the art
department. However the faculty part is non-regular and the current dean
cannot see promoting the director to associate professor because it is not
a tenure track appointment.  Being outside the professional staff there is
no clear way for the gallery director of advancing within the university
system to a higher pay level.

How is this position handled at other institutions? Any information is
greatly appreciated.
