Introduction
The Faculty Roster is an area within Meridian, the faculty lifecycle management suite for the U-M Medical School. The Roster allows department administrators to see which faculty members are in their department, as well as to see which lifecycle actions (currently hiring or promotion) are occurring for them.
For questions about the Faculty Roster's contents or how to use it, please submit a customer support request to the Office of Faculty Affairs.
To report a technical issue with the software, please contact the HITS Service Desk at (734) 936-8000 or submit a request.

About Data Sources
The Faculty Roster retrieves faculty details, department information, and other data from U-M institutional sources, namely the Medical School Data Warehouse (MSDW, which includes sources such as HR/M-Pathways, MSA Info Services, and MSA OFA). This data will be refreshed nightly, and is combined with any specific data you or others add within the Planning or Hiring activities inside Meridian.
If you have questions about any data discrepancies, please contact the HITS Service Desk.
About Departments and Faculty Assignments
The department a faculty member is associated with is not always clear-cut at the Medical School, and so the Faculty Roster reflects a variety of departmental assignments. In general, a faculty member's department is their Admin Department (tenure home). However, the Roster also places faculty in a department if they have a primary or secondary appointment in that department. This means you may see faculty in your department (the department you have access to) who you may not traditionally consider to be 'in your department'.
If you have questions about the presence or lack thereof for a given faculty member in your department, please contact the HITS Service Desk.
