academic faculty
University teaching corps
Academic faculty refers to the teaching and research staff of a college or university—professors, lecturers, and instructors collectively.
The term distinguishes educators from administrative staff and students: The academic faculty voted against the new grading policy.
In American English, faculty alone usually carries this meaning, while British English prefers staff.
