TABLE II:SUMMARY OF FACULTY
QUALIFICATION, INTELLECTUAL CONTRIBUTIONS
AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
(RE:Standards 2 & 10)
Click here to view the table.
1. Information in this table, supplemented by information in
individual faculty members’ vitae, is useful in making judgments relative
to:
•Standard 2: The pattern of types of intellectual contributions will
indicate whether “the portfolio of intellectual contributions reflects
the mission of the school and includes contributions from a substantial
cross-section of the faculty in each discipline.” •Standard
10: The table as a whole will assist the judgment of whether “The faculty
has, and maintains, intellectual qualification and current expertise to
accomplish the mission….”
2.Faculty should be listed alphabetically by discipline. Administrators
who hold faculty rank and directly support the school’s mission should
be included relative to their percent of time devoted to the mission including
administrative duties.If a faculty member serves more than one discipline,
list the individual only once under the primary discipline to which the
individual is assigned and where his/her performance evaluation is conducted.Provide
a footnote explaining the nature of the interdisciplinary responsibilities
of the individual. Graduate students who have teaching responsibilities
should be included in accordance with the guidance provided in Standard
10.
3. This column should show the percent of total time devoted to teaching,
research, and/or other assignment represented by the faculty member’s contribution
to the school’s overall mission during the period of evaluation (i.e.,
the year of the self-evaluation report or other filing with AACSB International).Reasons
for less than 100% might include part-time employment, shared appointment
with another academic unit, or other assignments that make the faculty
member partially unavailable to the school.
4. Faculty members may be academically qualified (AQ), professionally
qualified (PQ), AQ and PQ, or other.Indicate by placing “YES” in the appropriate
column(s) or by leaving columns blank.Individual vitae should be provided
to support this table. The “Other” category should be used for those individuals
holding a faculty title but whose qualifications do not meet the criteria
for academically and/or professionally qualified. A faculty member should
be counted only once for use in Table IIa even if the individual is AQ
and PQ. At Rhode Island College, faculty members are considered to
be AQ if they have at least one item that is PRJ or OID in the Pedagogy
or Discipline areas (NEC items do not count for this – see footnote 7).
Faculty members are considered to be PQ if they have at least one item
that is PRJ or OID in the Contributions to Practice area.
5. The number of intellectual contributions should be listed in these
columns.The peer reviewed journal columns marked “PRJ” should enumerate
all of those intellectual contributions that have appeared in journal article
form reviewed by academic and practitioner colleagues.The other intellectual
contributions columns marked “OIC” should enumerate all other intellectual
contributions regardless of the form of the contributions, including (but
not limited to) research monographs, scholarly books, chapters in scholarly
books, textbooks, proceedings from scholarly meetings, papers presented
at academic or professional meetings, publicly available research working
papers, papers presented at faculty research seminars, publications in
trade journals, in-house journals, book reviews, written cases with instructional
materials, instructional software, and other publicly available materials
describing the design and implementation of new curricula or courses. Generally,
intellectual contributions will exist in a publicly written form and will
be available for scrutiny by academic peers and professionals, i.e., proprietary
and confidential research and consulting reports do not qualify as intellectual
contributions.
6. Indicate the normal professional responsibilities the faculty member
is expected to perform, e.g., (UG for undergraduate teaching; GR for graduate
teaching; UG/GR for teaching at both levels; ADM for administration; RES
for research; NCR for non-credit teaching; SER for service and outreach
activities) A faculty member may have more than one category assigned.
7. At Rhode Island College, NEC indicates activities that are “not
elsewhere classified.” These are activities which did not result
in a publicly-available written document, and can include [1] pedagogy-related:
(creation of teaching aids; design and implementation of new curricula
and courses; additional certificate, credential, etc., earned; conference
attendee; conference or journal reviewer; demonstrated and
meaningful works in progress; grants received); [2] discipline-related:
(chair or participant in conference panel; additional graduate degrees
earned; editor of discipline journal); and [3] practice-related: design,
creation, and/or delivery of executive education programs or courses, certificate
programs or courses, etc.; completion of relevant internship or other training
experience; chair or participant in professional workshop, seminar, etc.;
membership in learned or professional organization; consulting, volunteer,
or work activities that add field-related knowledge and skills that augment
the currency and relevance of information brought to teaching and learning. |
