Service expectation

The document Criteria for Reappointment, Promotion, and Award of Tenure states:

The university encourages and expects its faculty members to apply their talents and abilities in service to the university, to organizations and to the community at large.

Service within the university is expected of all faculty members. Such service normally includes participation on departmental, school or college, and university-wide committees, and willing assistance in supporting the functions and purposes of the university.

The university shall also recognize and encourage faculty service to professional and scholarly organizations. Examples of such service include leadership in professional and learned societies, evaluations of manuscripts and research proposals, editorial board work, and other professionally related activities with or without compensation.

It is also appropriate for faculty members to serve in an educational advisory or informational capacity at the local, regional, state, national, and international levels. This service should ordinarily be an outgrowth of professional training and/or one's affiliation with the university. Examples of such activities include conducting workshops, consulting, and serving on advisory boards with or without compensation.
