Charge: The Personnel Committees will meet and handle all personnel actions coming from
the departments based on the personnel action calendar and the internal deadlines for the
College of Education. All meetings of the committee will be handled professionally and with
complete discretion. The chair will serve as the central point of contact and handle all
communications with the Office of the Dean as the next level of review.
b. The unit conducts systematic and comprehensive evaluations of faculty in accordance
with the Handbook of Operating Policies. Standards for retention, promotion, and
tenure of Tenure-Track ranked faculty are included. The COE faculty Handbook provides
a description of the mentoring process for tenure-track faculty. Interviews will need to
confirm this process. BUSSERT-WEBB
Response to 16b:
Tenured faculty members are assigned to all new tenure track faculty within the same department
until the mentee receives tenure. Mentors meet with the new faculty on a regular basis and help
them with their personnel action binders, as well as any questions the mentees have. Mentors
normally observe and formally evaluate the teaching of their mentees. Starting in fall 2013, all
mentors were required to send reports of their mentoring to Dr. Escotet. This protocol will occur
on a semester basis. All of the following faculty have received tenure or will apply at some point
for tenure.

Response to 16c: There is not a span of multiple years in which faculty can apply for tenure. The year of
application for tenure and promotion is specified at the time of employment (HOP 7.3.6). Minimum (5
years) and maximum (7 years) normal time periods for tenure and promotion are given by the College of
Education Policies and Procedures Manual (Section 3.1.3.B) and University HOP (7.3.6).
d. Faculty in the unit who have been granted tenure submit a post-tenure portfolio every
five years after the last personnel action. More information is needed on the evaluation
process for adjunct, lecturer, and clinical faculty. JAMES
Response to 16f: Per University policy non-tenure faculty positions are one year appointments. Student
teacher evaluations are used in the process of determining if it is to the benefit of the University to offer
reappointments for one year as an adjunct professor or lecturer (HOP 7.2.3). There is currently no other
evaluation process in place for adjunct professors or lecturers.
4. Can the unit provide a list of professional development opportunities in which faculty
participated? JAMES

for 2012-2013.

a. Professional faculty in the unit are expected to engage in ongoing professional
development. To help with these efforts, the unit provides monetary support for faculty
to present at conferences or to serve as offices of professional scholarly associations.
Funds that are available are provided on a competitive basis. IKONOMOPOULOS
Response to 17a: For a listing of this process and the awarding of such funds, visit
section 3.332 on page 53 in the College of Education Faculty Policy and
Procedures handbook located at the following link:
http://www.utb.edu/vpaa/coe/Documents/COE%20Faculty%20Policies%20and%
20Procedures.pdf.
Section 3.332 on page 53 can be seen below:
THIS SECTION OF THE COE FACULTY POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES MANUAL BEGINS MID-PAGE
3.3.2 Faculty Development Funding
The College of Education is committed to the continuing professional
development of its faculty. This is the only way that faculty can adapt to
changes in their disciplines, shifting institutional priorities, and the new
challenges from our various learners. Historically, professional development
support has meant travel money to scholarly meetings, but its definition has
now been expanded to include activities and support materials that facilitate
improvements in research, teaching, and service to the educational
community.
Professional development support for new faculty in year one (tenured and
tenure-track) will be negotiated by that faculty member and the Dean during
initial contract discussions. The purpose of the individualized negotiations is
to ensure, especially for appointments at the assistant professor level, that
faculty begin their careers at UTB with enough support to put their careers
on a trajectory of success.
After the initial appointment, each tenured and tenure-track faculty member
will be allocated a “minimum base” dollar amount for professional
development, according to the department availability of funds. Additional
monies may be allocated by the department chair. Under the current
guidelines for UTB budgeting, it is not possible to carryover this money
from one fiscal year to the next, but the capability to do so would constitute
a long-term objective for the College.
To promote dissemination of research, the scholarship of teaching, and the
activities associated with nationally visible service, each tenured and tenuretrack faculty member may be allocated additional money based on
availability of funds, if they are actively engaged in presenting papers and/or
serving as officers of a nationally-recognized scholarly association.
It is not possible to inventory all conceivable and legitimate applications of
professional development funds. Below are some examples of what would
and would not qualify for the appropriate use of such funds. The final
determination of what constitutes a legitimate use of the money rests with
department chairs, though a chair may appoint a faculty committee to
develop departmental policy in this area.
Expenditures from the allocated “minimum base” that qualify for

analysis.)
licensure or re-certification.)
As one can see, there are a number of things that would qualify under this
expanded notion of professional development. However, there are some
state-mandated restrictions within this framework. For example, while
professional development funds may be applied for continuing professional
education in the pursuit of re-licensure or re-certification, they may not be
used to pay for a license or certification renewal. Nor may such funds be
used to cover the costs associated for belonging to or becoming a member of
a learned society or organization. These latter two examples reflect
prohibitions of using state funds for personal benefit.
Two qualifying questions will help determine the legitimacy of any
professional development request: (1) Will the user of such funds improve
your performance as a researcher, instructor, or service leader? (If so, go to
question #2) (2) Is it likely that the perception will be that you are using
these funds for some personal benefit or gain? (If so, think of another use for
these funds). If in doubt, seek guidance from your department chair.
3.3.3 Course Release Request to Pursue Non-Teaching Assignments
1. Submit the completed request to your department chair for review and
approval (See Form in appendix G).
2. Faculty members who were granted a course release in the previous
semester need to include [with the new request] documentation showing
completion of the project(s) for which release time was granted.
3. Completion date (stated above) refers to deliverables, a completed written
document. Work in progress or process is not a “deliverable.”
4. A request for course release time, once approved, becomes part of faculty
workload and will be included in the annual evaluation. No course overloads
should be given to a faculty that is granted a course release.
5. Faculty are expected to do research as part of their regular load. Research
projects for which course release is considered are those that go beyond the
established performance guidelines, section 2.2. Release is granted on a
semester basis and renewal is contingent upon successful completion.
6. A faculty member has one calendar year to finish up a research project
starting from the beginning of the semester in which the course release was
granted. For example, if a faculty member receives a course release for the
spring 2013 starting January 2013, then the faculty should complete the
research project within one year, i.e., by January 2014. Table 1 below
illustrates the course release application and research completion deadlines
for the years 2012-2016.
7. For equity purposes, a faculty member who was not able to deliver the
completed research or project by the deadline will be scheduled to teach a
full load of courses plus the release time granted for the following semester
from the targeted date of completion.
