Goal 5: Recruit, Retain, Reward & Recognize our People
Cultivate a respectful, supportive culture for our exceptional faculty and staff that recognizes and rewards excellence and success and that provides ample opportunities for personal growth, professional development, promotion and leadership.
2024 Actions:
- CAS will develop mechanisms to support all faculty (all tracks) and staff to participate
in one relevant professional conference annually. This may involve internal resource
reallocation or development of practices such as cycling support levels between amounts
that support regional travel in one year and national travel in the next.
- CAS will highlight and celebrate the impact CAS members are having, and what CAS members
are working on – these highlights will be shared on the CAS website or on platforms
such as YouTube or Instagram, or local television, radio, and news media.
- CAS will continue equity reviews every year for every position to ensure salary adjustments address the most significant equity issues first while balancing equity adjustments against the competing priority of rewarding loyalty and excellent performance.
Participants for Goal 5 Brainstorming Group are listed below.
The participants met several times during the 2023 fall semester to collaborate and develop a proposal for actions that was submitted to the dean for final approval.
