Awards are competitive and will be granted on the basis of proposals which demonstrate the ability of the faculty member to accomplish the project within the time-frame of the award, the significance of the activity, the clarity of the proposal, and the need for the award. Faculty will receive all benefits and service-years credit. Guidelines Awards are for one semester with full pay or two semesters with half pay. Awards are intended to support the retention, tenure and promotion of probationary faculty who are actively engaged with their individual fields of study through teaching, service, and creative and scholarly work. The award will be negated if tenure is granted.
Faculty are eligible to receive only one award during their probationary years.
Faculty will receive all benefits and service-years credit towards sabbatical and tenure governed by Articles 13 and 27 of the Agreement. Procedure Deans will notify eligible probationary faculty of the availability of awards and the procedures for application. Applications must be submitted to the school deans who, after appropriate consultation, will send ranked recommendations to the President. The President will review the ranked recommendations and make his decision for the awards. Return to Faculty Affairs Home Page .
