Standard 3:

3.2: The institution demonstrates that it employs a faculty with
substantial and continuing commitment to the institution sufficient in
number, professional qualifications, and diversity to achieve its
educational objectives, to establish and oversee academic policies, and to
ensure the integrity and continuity of its academic programs wherever and
however delivered.

UC Santa Cruz Summary of Evidence |
The highest faculty quality is ensured through a
combination of comprehensive academic planning, and rigorous faculty
hiring and advancement processes (see
Academic
Personnel Policies). Academic Program Reviews, which were also noted
in Standard 2, provide an opportunity for outside consideration of the
adequacy of faculty staffing for each program. The recently completed
Divisional Academic Plans
define a strategy for adding and replacing faculty over the next ten
years.
Progress in faculty diversity is discussed in our essay
and leadership in this area is reflected by UCSC Chancellor Greenwood’s
opening remarks for the November 6-7, 2002
President's Summit on
Faculty Gender Equity, and her
testimony to the
Senate Select Committee on Government Oversight in 2001. UCSC has also
been a very active participant in President Atkinson’s Faculty Diversity
Enrichment Program. This program, which was in part modeled after UCSC’s
Campus Curriculum Initiative, provided a series of incentives for hiring
faculty that bring a diverse and culturally enriching perspective to
instruction and research. Policies and data on diversity in faculty hires
are included in the links below.
