optional ASL Linguistics track. Teaching is primarily at the
undergraduate level but may also include graduate courses. The

and publication appropriate to the discipline, supporting student

activities appropriate to academic rank. The typical teaching load for
untenured TT faculty in the School is two courses per semester.
