101 responsible for encouraging and motivating faculty members to participate in faculty development activities. SECTION 5. UNIVERSITY: ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 5.1 Governance Roles: The President, in consultation with the faculty of the University, shall establish institutional policy on faculty development consistent with this rule. 5.1.1 The President, in consultation with the faculty, shall establish a faculty development program. The University may have a separate program for faculty development or a professional development program combining faculty development with other professional development according to the institution's needs and resources. The appropriate groups representing the participants shall be consulted and involved. Through faculty development or professional development programs, the University shall conduct in-house faculty and professional development activities. Cooperation with the faculty development programs of other colleges and universities is also encouraged. The University is responsible for assessing faculty development needs and for utilizing a variety of development activities appropriate to its mission to meet the development needs of less experienced probationary faculty and experienced, tenured faculty. The University should strive for a balance of individual-oriented and group-oriented development activities to achieve a well-functioning program, and should periodically evaluate the results of its program. 5.1.2 The President and chief academic officer shall have the responsibility to exert leadership and support for faculty development. 5.1.3 The President, in consultation with the faculty, shall establish appropriate organizational structures, procedures, standards, and criteria for operating and assessing a faculty development program. This structure will include a faculty development committee, faculty development coordinator, and any other appropriate structures. 5.2 Financial Roles. Research and experience show that faculty development is most effective when dependable, consistent funding enables proper planning and implementation of development programs. In order to achieve continuity of financial support for faculty development, the University shall establish a benchmark level of financial commitment to faculty development which it will meet or surpass each year. The level of financial effort should be appropriate to the University’s mission and needs, and will be adjusted annually to reflect changes in mission and needs and the availability of financial resources. 5.2.1 The University has the responsibility to pursue funding for faculty development, including applying for such faculty development grants or funds as the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission may provide, pursuing other government or private grants or contracts, reallocating existing campus resources, or allocating funds from the institutional collection and retention of higher education resource fees or faculty improvement fees.
102 5.2.2 The University has the responsibility for providing financial and logistical support to operate its faculty development program, including providing office space, administrative, clerical, and other necessary support. 5.2.3 The University is expected to establish a fund to hire temporary replacements for faculty on leave. SECTION 6. INDIVIDUAL FACULTY MEMBER: ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES 6.1. Faculty members, in accordance with the best traditions of higher education, have a responsibility to improve their effectiveness in carrying out their professional roles. 6.2. Applicants for faculty development awards shall complete a faculty development plan for eligibility for faculty development project awards. 6.3. Applicants for faculty development will be asked to submit to their college a detailed plan of activity to be followed. 6.4. In accepting award of a faculty development proposal, the person shall sign a statement indicating awareness of and agreement to all the conditions specified in the proposal. Faculty members are responsible for using award funds for the legitimate purposes specified in their plan agreement. 6.5. Where the University deems appropriate, a faculty member shall file with the president or the President's designee a written final report of development activities, results, and anticipated benefits to the faculty member and the University. A written final report may not be appropriate for all development projects. 6.6. Faculty members engaging in development activities are responsible for sharing their new learning or skills with other colleagues via publication, report, seminar, workshop, tutoring, or other appropriate ways of communicating among professionals. SECTION 7. FUNDING 7.1. Funding for faculty development activities may come from appropriated funds, government grants or contracts, private grants or contracts, or institutionally collected and retained higher education resource fees or faculty improvement fees. 7.2. The University’s faculty development programs, grants, and activities are subject to availability of appropriated and other funds for those purposes. As noted before, the University has the responsibility for making a good faith effort to ensure that adequate funding is available. SECTION 8. AUTHORIZED EXPENDITURES 8.1. Compensation to Individuals. Funds allocated for faculty development may be used to compensate or pay expenses for faculty members who are pursuing additional academic study or training, engaging in scholarship or other creative activity, pursuing teaching and instructional improvement, serving as faculty development coordinator, or performing other responsibilities consistent with West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission and Fairmont State University policy or to compensate other individuals to allow faculty members to pursue development activities on released time.
