Dean Tedesco has asked that I send out the following:<br>
<br>
Engineering Faculty,<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p><br>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
Below are the College
Guidelines and Application Format for faculty interested in applying
for a
Faculty Development Leave for 2010-2011. If you plan to take a Faculty
Development Leave, please submit your request to Dean Tedesco by May
14, 2010.<o:p></o:p></span> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Due to the
current
and
projected budget restrictions, we do not anticipate any University
replacement
funds for faculty on leave. Therefore, department budgets must bear
the
financial burden of any leaves granted. It is essential that you
obtain
the approval of your Department Chair before submitting your request to
the
Dean. In considering a request, the Dean will give priority to faculty
members requesting a full academic year leave.<o:p></o:p></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Provost Antel
expects annual
research expenditures to increase to $350,000 per year per FTE faculty
member,
and our annual PhD graduation rate to approach 1.0 PhD graduates per
FTE
faculty. Thus, consistent with these Tier 1 initiatives, a Faculty
Development
Leave plan should include how the leave will significantly enhance
research expenditures and PhD student support.<span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you have any questions, please
let me know.</span><br>
