Faculty Development

The Faculty Development Council recognizes a comprehensive approach to faculty development that seeks to improve 1) teaching skills, 2) courses or curriculum, 3) institutional structure, 4) job-related skills, and 5) personal skills. In addition to these elements of development, the Council’s efforts relate to faculty at all stages of their careers, from hiring to recognition for outstanding achievement.

Attracting and keeping outstanding faculty is essential to SUNY’s progress toward becoming a truly exceptional university. As individuals are recruited for positions at any SUNY institution, the campus should present these new faculty with clear performance expectations. While the faculty pursue their professional activities, the University should actively support their efforts. Then, when these faculty seek reappointment, promotion, tenure, or continuing appointment, they should have no doubt that they will experience a fair evaluation process. Finally, having succeeded in their disciplines, they should receive appropriate recognition and be promoted to serve the educational community and the citizens of New York.
