Identify Activity That Will Require
Augmentation in FY 2001-02
INCREASE THE NUMBER
OF SCHOLARLY AND CREATIVE ACTIVITY COMMITTEE (SCAC) AWARDS
- $90,000
Last year, RPP recommended
and President Maxson approved two additional faculty positions
to restore the number of SCAC Awards to the level of awards
prior to the 1990s budgetary constraints and reduction in
number of SCAC Awards. For the 2001-2002 AY, the number
of worthy SCAC awards will increase because not only will
we have mid-career and senior faculty applying, but also
the fifty faculty members starting their third year with
us are now all eligible to submit proposals and compete
for available SCAC Awards. Each year, the SCAC Committee
identifies more worthy proposals than available funding
can support. This request is for two additional faculty
positions enabling SCAC to recognize 20 more worthy proposals.
