Since the release of the IRC Task Force Report and Recommendations in 2022, CU Denver has made significant progress in advancing the experiences of lecturers and instructional, research, and clinical (IRC) faculty. Guided by the Provost's 2022-2025 Roadmap, the Office of Faculty Affairs has partnered with faculty leaders, academic units, and the UCDALI to implement policy improvements, expand professional development opportunities, strengthen communication, and enhance support for IRC faculty throughout their careers.
This page highlights key milestones, reports, guidance documents, and committee work that have contributed to a more inclusive and supportive environment for IRC faculty and lecturers at CU Denver. Building on this progress, the IRC Progress Assessment Committee completed its Spring 2026 report evaluating the university's implementation of the original task force recommendations and identifying priorities for the next phase of IRC initiatives and support.
