Service Equity Task Force Report
The Service Equity Task Force, led by Faculty Fellows, was established to help define the service issues specific to UCCS faculty and identify tools and strategies to address these issues. This task force represents a joint effort between Project CREST and the Faculty Assembly Women's Committee, with support from the Office of Provost. After engaging in a review of the literature on the topic of equity in faculty service, the UCCS Service Equity Task Force designed a two-part data collection process: (a) a survey, and (b) focus groups. The Faculty Fellows led these data collection and analysis efforts, resulting in this report as well as a number of recommendations for promoting service equity at UCCS.
Course Buy-Outs
All course buyouts require the approval of both the Department Chair and the appropriate Dean. Course buy-outs are distinct from a course offload. An offload is a zero-cost redistribution of workload. Deans have the authority and flexibility to approve differential workloads in the form of course offloads for faculty as they see fit.
Scholarship Reconsidered
Scholarship Reconsidered is a white paper from UCCS faculty on how to reimagine what "counts" as scholarship.
