           For a sense of the Senate:



           A FIVE YEAR OUTLINE FOR FACULTY DEVELOPMENT



           As a means of promoting and enhancing Faculty Development at

           UNCA, the Faculty Senate will attempt to establish the following

           programs over the next five years.  Some of these programs

           require more substantial resources than others.  Those that

           require relatively little in the way of monetary funding may be

           established immediately.  Those that require larger amounts of

           funding must by necessity be rather modest in scope in the

           beginning.  As funding is developed both internally and

           externally through the office of University Relations we hope to

           expand the programs outlined below, as well as establish new

           ones where appropriate.



           Since the definition of Faculty Development is as broad as the

           diversity of individuals covered, and since the individual's

           needs change with time, many of these programs are tailored to

           individual programs of development.  Other programs will be more

           global in scope.  The FWDC will provide the initial direction

           and administration of the programs outlined below, except where

           noted, to help assure that the funds are directed toward their

           intended purpose.  As the programs and resources expand, their

           administration will be delegated to other committees, groups, or

           individuals.  The FWDC will then perform its more traditional

           role in overseeing the program of Faculty Development as a

           "committee on committees".  Most importantly, the acceptance of

           this document will signify the commitment of the administration,

           Faculty Senate and faculty to the development and support of a

           program for faculty development.



           The following programs will be established:



           - "Off-Campus Scholarly Assignments"



           - "Faculty Development Small Grants Program"



           - "Funded Released Time"



           - Travel Funds



           - Faculty Evaluation



           - Increased Recognition of Accomplishment
