university faculty

College teaching body

University faculty are the instructors and researchers employed by a university—professors, lecturers, and other academic staff.

In American usage, faculty is a collective noun for this group: The faculty voted to change the grading policy.

British English more often uses "academic staff." Faculty can also mean an inherent ability or a division within a university: the Faculty of Arts.
