The
University Senate of
“Resolution
on ADVANCE Grant”
While the overall goals of the ADVANCE grant are
laudable, the CEP program does nothing to “build a collegial framework.” Therefore, be it resolved, that it is the sense
of the Senate that the CEP portion of the ADVANCE grant be redesigned so that
outside members not be assigned to faculty search committees in academic
units.
Further, noting that unlike other grants, ADVANCE grants require participation of academic units and faculty other than the principal investigators, to promote collegiality, the ADVANCE grant document should be made a public document so that each academic unit can understand what is promised and what is expected of the participants and the academic units.
