  1. SPIA Perspective on Priorities for CHASS School of Public and International Affairs April 12, 2010

  2. Political Science Department • Tenure-track faculty should be better distributed Departments with the greatest student demand—grad students, undergrad majors—need to receive a greater proportion of new faculty • Tenure-track faculty should be better paid Salaries should be used to reward faculty who add most value Salaries should be distributed to better reflect discipline “going rates”

  3. Public Administration Department • Develop graduate programs: including offering better/more competitive stipends; increasing the number of stipends available • Expand tenure-track faculty to meet current capacity needs and future demand • Make progress on faculty salaries relative to peer institutions (something that is particularly important given historical performance on this metric and the compounding effect of no LIs) • Develop research support for doctoral students (conference travel, dissertation grants)

  4. SPIA Priorities Overall • Growth in number and quality of graduate programs (and requisite faculty) • CHASS boosts its reputation in the State, region, nation, and world through developing outstanding graduate programs and the requisite research faculty • Bring faculty salaries up to level of peer institutions • The high-quality faculty necessary to staff outstanding graduate programs presumes competitive salaries • Enhance CHASS development operations • Endowed professorships, named programs, and similar development opportunities increase our competitiveness
