        Each year the full-time, ranked faculty of UNCA shall select two of 

        its members for receipt of the Ruth and Leon Feldman Professorship

        Fund prize.  This award will honor those faculty who have excelled

        in one or both of the following fields:  


           1.  Service to the community and to UNCA; and,

           2.  Demonstrated competence in the areas of teaching, research

               and published writings, or creative writings in the arts.


        The selection of these two individuals shall be done in the

        following manner:

         I.  Nomination

             The faculty shall be invited by the Senate to submit written

             and signed nominations by February 1 specifying the past

             accomplishments which recommend an individual's nomination.

             These nominations shall be in keeping with the terms of the

             Feldman fund.  


        II.  Review of Nominations 

             Nominations shall be reviewed by the Ruth and Leon Feldman

             Professorship Fund Committee composed of six members drawn two

             each from the Faculty Welfare Committee, the University

             Research Council, and from the University Teaching Council.

             The respective committee chairmen shall consult so that each

             of the broad academic areas is represented on the review

             committee.  

 
             Members of the review committee shall elect their own chairmen

             and serve one year terms from January 1 to December 31.  

             In making its decision, the review committee shall be free to

             consult with students, community people, or others who may

             assist the committee in making its decision.
