Community/University Service Activities. Recognition should be given to faculty who participate in, and contribute significantly to, faculty governance and policy making through department, Extension, University committees, and/or the Union. An Extension faculty member should play a vital role in faculty committees and take part, as a faculty member, in activities that may include participation in programs on discrimination and harassment awareness, community and/or campus efforts to promote multicultural diversity and in the promotion of affirmative action. Contributions of an Extension faculty member’s disciplinary expertise to the State of Vermont and its communities through participating in committees, boards, and commissions, and leadership or advising of a relevant community organization, civic group, public agency or public agency official, are considered to be service. Activities identified as service should fulfill a professional or educational role in the community. Active involvement in professional organizations and societies is recognized as service, particularly when effectively carrying out leadership responsibilities, contributing to publications or serving on the editorial board of professional journals.
