In 1996-97, the Center provided 245 consultations with faculty. There are initiatives across the campus where specific disciplines address the need for faculty development in teaching and learning. Also, there is a faculty group on student-centered learning that meets monthly. Other identified needs include the need for a sabbatical policy. There are 12-15 leaves per year in a faculty of 2400 and very few travel and study grants.
More help is needed with keeping faculty invigorated compared to other major institutions.
