Summary of the Faculty Issues and Research Resources Workshop

Mission

Goals

To attract excellent faculty and provide an infrastructure that supports those faculty, we must:

  1. Develop effective incentives and compensation for desired faculty efforts

  2. Provide a supportive environment for effective teaching in the sciences

  3. Generate a supportive environment for effective research in the sciences

    **Also noted as "Infrastructure Issues": (1) Greater autonomy for divisions and departments was also noted as desirable. (2) Information on where indirect costs are spent was requested. (3) Improvement of morale was needed. (4) More effective methods for requests for matching funds.

  4. Enhance the stature of Wiess School by attaining world class status in both research and teaching (be a "community of learners") by focusing on substance (vs ratings)
