Faculty Success Subcommittee Marches On

November 13, 2013
The Faculty Success Subcommittee had a very productive meeting today. Once again, we returned to the elements that go into faculty success for tenure track and lecturer faculty. We developed a set of questions that we will ask of colleagues at peer and aspirant institutions that are a mixture of public, land grant, and private institutions. We will report on our communications with colleagues in the December 11 meeting.
There are many variables that must be considered in order to understand faculty success at the pre- and post-tenure career stages, from the individual and institution perspectives. In our college, the impacts of resources, teaching load, critical mass, graduate programs, spousal hires, research facilities and libraries, mentoring, and much more are not uniform across our many disciplines and departments.
We will keep you posted as we continue to meet. Our next meeting is November 20.
