FACULTY DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES. 24.1 The University and the AAUP recognize that Faculty development is a shared responsibility of Bargaining Unit members and academic administrators. To that end, the University and AAUP pledge to work together to create and support a range of professional development opportunities appropriate to the various colleges, libraries, populations, and academic missions of this institution. The purpose of a development program is to improve the quality of the teaching, research, and service in individual units and in the University as a whole, by assisting Bargaining Unit members in reaching their full potential as researchers, teachers, and/or as librarians. 24.1.1 A Faculty development program must address needs of Bargaining Unit members at varied stages of their careers. For example, the following purposes may be identified with three distinct needs: 24.1.1.1 relief strategies to facilitate the work of active researchers and engaged, effective teachers and librarians; 24.1.1.2 recharging strategies designed for the researcher/scholar, teacher or librarian in need of stimulation; and 24.1.1.3 redirecting strategies to offer individuals a new start. 24.1.2 Included among development opportunities should be programs on curricular and technological innovation, the RPT processes, leave and grant applications, administrative issues for academic unit heads, and retirement planning.
