At the end of each academic year, each tenured faculty member must submit a brief statement of professional goals for the next year to the Department Chair. Several of the practices previously mentioned address what the College does to provide faculty with planning consultation and orientation. Augmentations may occur in the Fall and Spring semester. Additional travel may be authorized as funds permit. Faculty are encouraged to share expenses.
Full funding is considered the norm.
Partial funding may be necessary when funds are scarce. At least two weeks before a proposed trip, the Request for Approval of Travel and the Estimate of Travel Expense forms should be completed and submitted to the Department Chair for approval. Arrangements should be made in advance for a faculty member to cover classes that will be missed. The Dean of the College must approve all travel requests. Participation in professional organizations is encouraged.
