We support faculty and academic staff success.

Office for Faculty and Academic Staff Affairs

The Office for Faculty and Academic Staff Affairs (FASA) is a unit within the Office of the Provost that promotes a productive, respectful, and inclusive work environment to attract and retain high-caliber faculty, academic staff, and leaders at MSU. FASA serves all Faculty and Academic Staff within all appointment types and system classifications. This includes Tenure System Faculty, Fixed-Term Faculty and Academic Staff, Health Programs Faculty, FRIB/NSCL Faculty and Academic Staff, Research Faculty, Librarian and Archivist, MSU Extension, and Academic Specialists.

Excellent people deserve excellent support, and our work focuses on building and sustaining a culture of support for our faculty, academic staff, academic leaders and executive management.
