Faculty are expected to continue their professional development. In order to assist in the process of faculty professional development within the context of the university’s purpose and direction in the areas of teaching, research and service, the following procedures shall be employed:

The chair and faculty member shall discuss the areas of teaching, scholarship/creative activities, and professional service, indicating what the faculty member hopes to accomplish in each of these areas.

The chair shall comment on those plans in terms of the career interests of the faculty member, the academic purpose and direction of the department, and the professional service interests of the university and community.

The purpose of faculty/chair discussions is to develop a plan for faculty professional development that takes into consideration both individual professional development and the purpose and direction of the department, the college and the university. The chair may also suggest alternate or additional opportunities for professional growth, and suggest possible sources of support to assist faculty.
