Architecture Program Report Tulane University New Orleans ...

Professional accomplishment
Traditional architectural practice is accepted as professional activity and
is expected when a faculty member's primary teaching is in the design
studio. Judgment of a faculty member's professional accomplishment
should include consideration of excellence in academic and professional
activities with increasing depth and authority as measured by recognition
of those activities implied by publication in local, regional, national and
international journals, by invitations to lecture, by office in professional
societies, and by supported research. Academic research and
publication in refereed journals and books will also be considered as
professional activity.
