Faculty Improvement (5620)
Pursuant to the Faculty Contract 2005-2008:
- The University will pay the expenses of attending a professional meeting up to $1000.00 per year per faculty member.
- If any of the yearly allocation to a faculty member is not spent by that faculty member in that year on conference expense, up to $250 of any such faculty member's unspent funds for that year may be used by such faculty member for developmental materials in the faculty member's discipline, such as books, cassettes, and film strips or periodicals, or dues in a recognized professional society related to the faculty member's discipline. While in general the $250 should not be spent on these developmental materials until toward the end of the year involved, so that the funds would remain available to the faculty member for possible conference expenditure for the bulk of the year, $250 is available for expenditure on these developmental materials at any time selected at the faculty member's discretion during the year.
Faculty Improvement Pool
Pursuant to the Faculty Contract 2005-2008:
- The Dean’s office may authorize additional payment of expenses for presentations/travel. For such additional expenses, a Professional Improvement Pool of $25,000.00 has been established respectively for each year by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and is disbursed upon the recommendation of the Dean’s and Director’s Committee. No individual faculty member shall normally receive more than $1,500.00 in addition to the individual allotment.
