Is there a way we could\u2026 ask UofT to consider someone as a professor? Sounds bizarre I know, but a friend of mine at another uni has this author I love for one of her classes, and the prof is a uoft alum! Just wish I could be her student lol<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

as far as i know, there isn’t really a process to do this as students. profs\/instructors get hired by applying for postings made by the university.<\/a> students may have some say in the process by giving testimonials for the candidate’s teaching dossier, but these would be from the students they’ve taught before, not potential future students. which kind of makes sense, because while an instructor could seem great on paper, the experience of actually getting taught by them might be different. overall, it really comes down to the prof actually applying to work at uoft, and uoft choosing to accept her.<\/p>\n
