faculty members

College teaching body

Faculty members are the teaching and research staff at a college or university—professors, instructors, and lecturers as distinct from administrators and students.

The term appears frequently in academic contexts: Faculty members voted to change the grading policy.

A single person is a faculty member, though a faculty can refer to the group collectively.
