Committee Composition
The committee consists of two tenured full professors, two tenured associate professors, three associate or full clinical professors, one assistant tenure-track professor and one assistant clinical track professor elected by the Assembly. The dean appoints one faculty member from any rank to serve as a member. Committee members will serve staggered three-year terms. The Director of Curriculum and Instruction will serve as an ex officio member. The Committee elects the chairperson and vice chairperson from among the members. The vice chairperson will become chairperson upon completion of the chairperson's term. Administrative support is provided by the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs who serves as an ex-officio member.
Standing Committee Charge
As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, it is the responsibility of the committee to monitor and identify needs related to faculty professional career development including, but not limited to: teaching, research and patient care. In response to identified needs for faculty development, the committee develops strategies for the creation, implementation and assessment of programs to successfully address those issues. The committee works closely with the Offices of Education, Clinical Affairs and Research to carry out its charge.
Additional Charge from the Dean for 2011–2012
This year I am asking the Faculty Development Committee to also complete the following:
- Develop and explore mechanisms for the mentoring of faculty appointed on the clinical track.
- Investigate the needs of clinical track faculty, determine what needs are being met and what are not.
- Continue with the development of a process for welcoming new faculty and develop a checklist of topics and training to be included that identifies the person or office who is responsible for each step.
- Continue to identify, institute and evaluate faculty development initiatives for the fall and spring open weeks as well as the potential for development at various times throughout the year.
- Address the issues of faculty career progression after receipt of tenure and at the full professor level.
- Develop a listing of all faculty development opportunities across the university available to UFCD faculty.
- Design standard exit interview questions for faculty. Identify faculty development-related issues from these exit interviews and use these results to make improvements in faculty development and retention.
- Provide advice and information to the Office of Faculty Affairs on faculty development issues.
This year, each standing faculty committee will be charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the college strategic plan. The measures which should be reviewed by the Faculty Development Committee include:
- Annual turnover rate for faculty/analysis of reasons for leaving
- Annual demographic profile (number, percent) of faculty in terms of age, race/ethnicity, gender and rank.
- Number and percentage of new women and under-represented minority salaried faculty hired each fiscal year by race/ethnicity, gender and rank.
- Estimated number of women and URM in faculty applicant pools.
- Number of FEOs and sabbatical leaves applied for and completed.
The committee should evaluate performance on these measures and when appropriate, action plans for improvement should be instituted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. The PDCA is the college's model for outcomes assessment and evaluation.
Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities
Members of this committee are expected to attend a monthly meeting of the full committee lasting 1-2 hours. Additionally, members may be asked to assist with subgroup or project work at the chairperson's discretion.
Estimated time commitment: 2-4 hours per month.
Schedule of Meetings
The Faculty Development Committee meets from 12:00–1:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
