Publication Endowment Posted on October 9th, 2009 by Barb Larson Taylor

Recommendation from the Academic Programs and New Initiatives Task Force:

Establish an endowment to cover cost of publication and dissemination of faculty work.

Additional explanation:

Faculty members in a variety of disciplines are expected to contribute to the cost of publishing. Subvention fees, page costs in the science, and competition entry fees in the visual and performing arts and creative writing would be legitimate additions to our support for faculty research, scholarship, and creativity. It is anticipated that a $500,000 endowment would be needed.

This recommendation was placed in the Tangible Resources Strategic Framework Substantive Category using the language:

Triple the travel allowance for faculty conference travel and endow the costs of publication and dissemination of faculty work.

This recommendation was placed is Tier 2 and is being monitored by the Provost and Dean of the College.
