Event: ADVANCE Leadership Workshop in Conjunction with OLP: “Designing Service Workload Systems to Support Faculty Mentoring, Evaluation, and Promotion”
Thursday, March 7, 2024, 10am – 12:30pm PST
“Designing Service Workload Systems to Support Faculty Mentoring, Evaluation, and Promotion”
Service work is part of the faculty workload, and some service work provides meaning and value and supports career development. However, not all service work is equally valued or recognized. Women and URM faculty and faculty from other marginalized groups disproportionately carry a higher service load. This workload distribution leaves certain groups with less time for research, other career advancement opportunities, and personal time.Units that create inequitable workloads also fail to fully benefit from the core competencies of the faculty as those who are over-extended in service have less time to devote to the core mission of their jobs. This workshop will explore the effects of inequitable service loads, and your role as a campus leader in working towards equitable service workloads for faculty . Our panel will speak on their different cultures and the efforts they have made to encourage service workload equity, including policies and practices they have implemented. Participants will also work in small groups to explore strategies for auditing and allocating service work.
