F. Funding

The administration will stipulate what percentage of
the budget for the next fiscal year is to be allocated for
faculty development and will split the funds 50-50 between
the two categories. 50% will go to the college wide develop-
ment committee and the other 50% will be shared amongst the
departmental faculty development committees on per capita
basis (i.e., bigger departments get a proportionally larger

share).

1) at the departmental level

2)

Upon learning what its dollar share of the
departmental 50% is to be, each departmental
faculty development committee will consult with
its discipline groups to prepare a budget and
arrive at an allocation. A copy of the depart-
mental committee's budget will be forwarded to

the administration as a record of faculty develop-
ment in the department for the year. The budget
will show departmental, disciplinary, and indivi-
dual allocations and provide details of each pro-
gram the departmental faculty development committee
approves.

at the college wide level

The 50% for college wide activities will be
allocated by the following formula: for each
dollar allocated at the departmental level, a
dollar is designated at the college wide level.
Thus, .a department with a 20% share of funds

split amongst the departments would, through

its representatives on the college wide committee,
control 20% of the college wide dollar pool. As
proposals are presented to the college wide com-
mittee, they are voted on by consigning dollars

to them. In this way, each department has an
effective say in the kind of college wide faculty
development that takes place. Thus, the decision
as to the nature and extent of college wide faculty
development activities rests with the faculty them-
selves through the proxying of development dollars.
It is expected that any individual, ad hoc, admini-
strative, or faculty group will make proposals to
the college wide committee. The committee, using
the mechanism described, will allocate its 50%
share and forward a copy of its budget to the ad-
ministration as a record of college wide faculty
development activities for the year.

As well as responding to proposals, both committees (departmental
and college wide), will be expected to generate ideas for faculty
development activities.
