In accordance with the Strategic Plan, chairs are requested to collect data about the applicant pool. Indicate if possible how many minority candidates applied. The number of Ph.D.s awarded in the field annually, if that information is available. The number of candidates invited to campus. The number of offers made.
Medical coverage is the same for both types of faculty hires.
In addition to fringe benefits, all full-time faculty are eligible to apply for faculty travel support to attend professional meetings. The decision on travel support is up to the Chair and subject to priorities within the department and availability of funds. Most part-time faculty teach 3 or 6 hours of coursework during a semester. The use of part-time faculty provides flexibility to meet sabbatical needs or special enrollment needs or to provide reassigned time for continuing faculty. Our goal is to minimize the use of part-time faculty.
