Not many faculty have the equipment necessary to teach this way. There will be an instructional lab put into Miller Nichols Library that will be staffed and will help promote using technology in the classroom. The ITEC has discussed the organizational structure for campus technology and recommended that a chief information officer be appointed who reports directly to the Chancellor. Dr. Querry mentioned that every dean has been asked to appoint a unit technology committee to discuss issues at the unit level. Each unit has the responsibility to determine the criteria for achieving promotion and tenure using Chancellor memorandums 35 and 77 as a guideline.
Research is a generic term that can be included as a part of the teaching component.
Unit and campus promotion and tenure committees need to standardize criteria and this is an issue that the Faculty Senate should address as well.
