2. 麻花视频 Faculty and Supporting Member Data

麻花视频 collects demographic and professional information about our members鈥攖hat is, individual faculty at 麻花视频 full and affiliate member schools and Supporting category members of the 麻花视频.

Because the large majority of 麻花视频 members have an appointment at an 麻花视频 member architecture education program, we have collected membership information about faculty, staff, and administrators from the programs themselves. The source for this information may be the school’s faculty, staff, or administrators, or public sources of information, such as the university website. 麻花视频 collects other information directly from our individual members and from website users. Below are three categories of information that we collect and who is able to change or access this information.

a. Faculty Appointment Information Supplied by Member Program
Due to our membership structure, 麻花视频 relies on program administrators (i.e., deans, directors, chairs, department heads, etc.) to identify faculty and staff members and supply information about their appointment to the architecture program (e.g., full-time, part-time, tenured/nontenured, etc.). The program鈥檚 head administrator receives online access to the program鈥檚 roster of faculty in our database. The head administrator is able to add or delete faculty members from the roster, and can add and change data about these faculty and staff members. If a member believes the academic appointment information is erroneous, please contact the membership department at 麻花视频, membership@acsa-arch.org.

b. Optional Demographic Data
麻花视频 collects demographic information from website users and members. This information is supplied by the individual user or member on a voluntary basis and may include, but may not be limited to, race, ethnicity, LGBT status, and disability status.

麻花视频 also collects optional information on the professional background of faculty and administrators.
