Travel Fund Policy
The UAF Faculty Senate, upon
recommendation of the Faculty Development, Improvement &
Assessment Committee, approved the following Faculty Development
Travel Fund Policy.
The travel policy will set clear
due dates for when travel requests can be submitted, information
that should be included in the request, and general guidelines
by which requests will be reviewed by a Faculty Travel Committee.
Every effort will be made to
provide ASSISTANCE for faculty who wish to attend professional
meetings, conferences, and/or workshops, that address teaching
and/or current institutional issues (e.g. assessment, advising)
that specifically focus on individual growth and professional
development. The term travel has been extended to include
attendance and participation in an online conference. Priority
will be given to requests from junior faculty without tenure,
but worthy requests from all faculty will be considered. Full-time
community and rural campus faculty are encouraged to apply.
The faculty travel committee
(the Director of the Office of Faculty Development, two
members of the Faculty Senate faculty development committee,
and two members of United Academics) will examine requests
and make recommendations for funding. August 22, 2008
at 3:00 pm is the deadline for proposals for Fall 2008
travel up to the end of January 2009. You will be informed
by Monday, August 25 if you have been awarded travel
funds.
Award of Faculty Development
travel requests is contingent upon availability of funding.
Grants are normally a maximum of $750. Much of the travel
funding originates from United Academics presidential buyout
funds agreed to through the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The Office of Faculty Development appreciates this gesture
from UNAC to assist its members in professional development.
ACCFT does not provide matching funds so awards are limited
to $400 for ACCFT members.
