Overview
In an effort to recognize the additional service HCDE faculty undertake in an academic year that goes above and beyond the normal workload, the department provides support to allow for faculty to have the time and/or appropriate compensation to be able to do that work while maintaining an equitable workload.
Who is eligible for this compensation?
Historically, the following administrative roles have come with additional compensation. But eligibility is also at the discretion of the Chair and availability of funds.
- Associate Chair
- BS Program Chair
- MS/UCD Program Chair
- PhD Program Chair
- A committee chair load that is anticipated to be much higher than normal without appropriate reductions in other service
Allocation of funds
- Eligible faculty will receive $12,500 in flexible funding or one quarter of student support (e.g., RA, UGRA, Student Assistant, etc.). Funds may be used for a variety of non-salary expenses, including but not limited to:
- Equipment purchases
- Conference Travel
- Transcription Services
- Editing Services
- Consulting
