An automated faculty and staff directory feature will replace the current manually-built directories on college, department and business unit websites. All units will have a Faculty/Staff Directory link that automatically populates a page with information faculty and staff contact details from the NAU Directory based on the department. Faculty members’ entries will include a link to a faculty profile, of which some information will be pulled from Faculty 180. For Phase 1, the information pulled from the directory will be:
- Name
- Rank and Title
- Campus/Location
- Primary email address
- Phone number
For Phase 1, the information coming out of Faculty 180 will be limited to Degree. Future phases will pull additional information, as directed and approved by the Provost. Current privacy settings in the directory will be honored.
Faculty & Staff Directory FAQ
Q: The information in the NAU Directory is not accurate for my department, how do we fix it?
A: Each department has a Directory Administrator whose responsibility it is to maintain the information. They may change information such as building, office, or phone number. This individual can work with the Solution Center to ensure information is being entered in such a way as to display correctly on the Faculty/Staff Directory pages.
Q: Our department has people who fall outside of traditional faculty and staff. How can we be sure they are listed in our directory? For example:
- Alumni board members
- Staff members that are being compensated by a government grant
- Professor Emeritus’ who teach but are not on the payroll
A: Directory entries are initially pulled from PeopleSoft HR data, however the Directory Administrator for a department may add anybody with an NAU UserID to the directory. People who are not in the HR system may be granted Affiliate status, which will provide them with an NAU UserID. The Directory Administrator may then add them to that department’s directory.

Q: I am a faculty member and I don’t want a faculty profile published on the website.
A: Faculty 180 data is governed by the Provost. Please follow up with that office.
Q: What about other Faculty 180 information, such as CV, Bio, Publications or Areas of Research?
A: These items will be addressed in a future phase of the Faculty/Staff Directory pages, as adoption of use and data governance policies are implemented for Faculty 180.
