The University is able to provide financial support to faculty development proposals. To be eligible they must be specifically targeted toward proposals designed to improve the quality of classroom instruction. There must be clear linkage between the proposal and the courses the faculty member teaches or will teach. Proposals can be curriculum development projects or travel to seminars, workshops, or college courses when the content is directly related to teaching assignments. Where appropriate, the expectation is that faculty who are approved for funding will share the results of their faculty development efforts with their colleagues.
The following guidelines are applicable to faculty development proposals:
- Travel to annual conventions is not eligible for funding.
- Travel and/or expenses associated with pursuit of a degree are not eligible.
- Travel to state meetings is not eligible for funding.
- Funds cannot be used to defray expenses of students.
- A faculty member who has given, or received, notice of termination, or who has a part-time and/or temporary appointment, is not eligible for funding.
The Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs can waive these guidelines for proposals with special circumstances.
To initiate a proposal, a faculty member should complete a request for funding on the appropriate form, secure the approval of the department chair and college or school dean, and send it to the Provost/Vice President of Academic Affairs for final approval.
For additional information on Faculty Development, contact the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs in Kent Wyatt Hall 228 or call 846-4010.
