RESOLUTION ON OFFICE OF FACULTY DEVELOPMENT
RESOLUTION
===========
WHEREAS, Faculty Development services on campus improve
effectiveness of instruction and advising, encourage collegial
exchange of ideas, and provide training and materials to
inspire and support creative teaching and research,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Faculty Senate recommends
that the Office of Faculty Development be more fully
supported, with a half-time faculty officer and half-time
clerical support; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the first priorities for the OFD be as
follows:
1) generation of funding to support development of teaching,
supervision, and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate
students, including travel to seminars, presentation of on-
campus seminars, and a collection of teaching resources to be
housed at the OFD:
2) encouragement of peer support for teaching, including a
mentoring program for new faculty, and peer visit programs to
supplement SOI's and stimulate cross-classroom exchange;
3) implementation of the 有料盒子视频 Featured Faculty Program, in
conjunction with the Office of the Provost.
RATIONALE: In the past, the 有料盒子视频 Office of Faculty Development has
provided seminars on teaching, on the assessment of teaching,
and on faculty promotion and tenure. The office has generated
outside funding for off-campus faculty training and for
presentation of successful 有料盒子视频 teaching programs at
conferences. Program efforts to achieve and retain
accreditation are also enhanced by the existence of vital
faculty development services.
Unfortunately, the Fall 1994 Assessment report (Kuykendall,
Worley) concluded that the funding of faculty development
provides "such minimal services that it is difficult to locate
on campus" and that "the absence of such an office jeopardizes
both faculty morale and the quality of teaching and advising
services."
The faculty senate should support current efforts of the
Provost to reinvigorate this valuable office.

RESOLUTION ENDORSING FACULTY ALLIANCE POSITION
ON FACULTY SALARY STRUCTURE
RESOLUTION
===========
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate endorses the following position taken by the
Alliance of Faculty Senates.
For simplicity and standardization, we propose a system of
compensation based on the staff pay scale which successfully
recognizes increased experience over time. Our proposal addresses
the goal of formulating a simple mechanistic system of pay
increases that could prevent the demoralizing practice of holding
experienced faculty members' salaries constant while bringing in
new faculty at higher pay. This proposal is similar to the staff
compensation system in that it offers three percent annualized
increases awarded every two years based on satisfactory or better
performance. These increases fall to an annualized rate of 1.5
percent at the higher end of the ranges. It also offers the
opportunity for promotions, which are equivalent to moving to a
higher grade in the staff compensation scale. This proposal is a
product of senate deliberations over the past few months, and, time
permitting, will be reviewed by the senates one last time in the next
couple of weeks.
The new salary schedule for non-bargaining unit faculty should
contain the following elements.
1. salary increases annualized at 3 percent;
2. cost of living adjustments to the faculty salary scale applied
in the same manner as to the staff salary scale;
3. step increases based on overall satisfactory or better
performance every two years for the first 12 years;
a. salary increases for promotion are equivalent to a 2 year
salary jump, from year 7 to year 10.
4. step increases of 1.5% after 12 years; and
5. appropriate discipline based started salaries
