Emphasizes institutional service efforts beyond the Standard Profile. Individual faculty members have the responsibility for proposing their profile for a given academic year depending on their short term needs, long term objectives and other considerations such as external market influences. The Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty has the responsibility for accommodating faculty profiles and department plans with the overall mission of the College and the five year plan for Academic Affairs. Rewards for meritorious performance should be achievable through any profile. Tenure track faculty should be in either the Standard Profile or the Scholarly Activity Profile since these profiles maximize the probability of meeting requirements for tenure.
Tenured faculty can choose any of the four profiles.
In each of the alternative profiles, however, there is an explicit commitment to significant effort in the chosen area. See Level III of the Illustrative Guidelines for examples. I activities in Scholarly Activity as described in the Illustrative Guidelines. Since nontenure-track faculty members teach eight courses per academic year, they have minimal expectations for scholarly activity and service. I performance would be expected in all three areas from nontenure-track faculty members.
