Faculty Diversity Scholars Program
Protocol
Goal: To provide incentives to departments and programs which hire and retain faculty of racial and ethnic backgrounds under represented in medicine.
Races and ethnicities under represented in medicine will be defined in accordance with the AAMC criteria as modified by the WUSM Faculty Diversity Committee (FDC) - see full Faculty Diversity Subcommittee Plan, dated October 31, 2005.
When departments or programs are recruiting faculty who may be appropriate candidates for this program, they will contact the Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) early in the recruitment process. The OFA will provide an application packet to be completed and returned. The Dean and the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, with input from the Faculty Diversity Committee (FDC), will then determine the eligibility for these faculty members under recruitment to become Diversity Scholars and thus eligible for this funding mechanism. It is expected that members of the FDC will be actively participating in the recruitment process for each of these candidates.
Note: No disbursement of these funds will occur if WUSM Central Administration and the FDC have not approved eligibility for said faculty members.
Key Components of the Proposal
The Dean will contribute $150,000.00 in the first year (FY ’07) from the Central Administration budget. Departments and major programs will be assessed to generate an additional $150,000.00 in the first year based upon faculty compensation in each department or program. The Dean’s and departmental/programmatic contributions will increase in years 2 and 3 of the program in order to support two new recruits each year until the program reaches steady-state in year 3. Individual salary support will represent 25% of salary to a maximum of $50,000.00/year for three years. Start up costs to be contributed will be 25% of the total start-up package to a maximum of $100,000.00 per candidate. Any unused funds at the end of the fiscal year would roll over to be available for the next year. The funds should support the target goal of two minority faculty recruits/year. If more than two minority faculty meeting eligibility criteria are recruited, the Dean will offer additional funds as available. The program will be evaluated for effectiveness by the FDC, Academic Affairs Committee and Administration and Finance Committee at the end of three years after implementation (FY ’10) and every three years thereafter.
