-MGS Response re. faculty development and support: The departments in MGS do not have any formal programs in place to support faculty development. In fact, we plan to meet next month to discuss some ideas for this important topic. However, each department, at its discretion and within the limited resources it has, does try to provide a modest amount of travel funds for faculty to present their research at national conferences. I also plan to submit a proposal to our dean to establish a "research bank" to provide startup and seed money to faculty to help promote research (and thus faculty development) at all faculty levels. The resources provided for startup for the social sciences on our campus are woefully inadequate and distributed in mysterious ways. The university, the colleges and the departments need to find ways to reward merit since this is not effectively done through the union contracts.

-CM Response re. faculty development and support [|CM response re. faculty dev support.doc] Intellectual Contribution Categories: [|IC ClassificationCriteria.doc] The definitions of Applied, Basic, and Instructional Development research as set by AACSB are at the bottom of the page. As you can see, in each of the three areas (Applied, etc.), there are the same possible outlets--books, chapter, refereed journals, etc. For a full-time CM faculty member to be Academically Qualified (as distinct from Professionally Qualified or Other--formerly unqualified), s/he needs to have either 3 refereed journal publications in the last five years or 2 rjp's plus some comparable collection of other IC accomplishments such as a few conference presentations or proceedings, book chapters, etc, in the last five years. A single quality book in that time frame might count as making one Academically Qualified. Most full-time CM faculty are and need to be AQ. Some can be PQ which requires being professionally engaged in the sense of working in a company in one's field at least part-time--e.g. in Marketing, HR, Accounting, Finance--or doing consulting in one's field, and/or publishing in practioner outlets. Usually, PQ faculty are adjuncts. (Mike Novak)
