Marie, I don't have anything to contribute to your request other than to offer my highest praise for the mission of this committee. Administrivia and, particularly, work inequity amongst faculty are two of the biggest pet peeves of my mine and of many of my colleagues. I sincerely hope that you will be able to share with TIPS any generalizable recommendations that some of us can then take to our institutions.

So we’re both interested in making service more fairly shared (service = everything that is not teaching and research) but also just cut down on unnecessary service and/or administrative trivia. So this is not just focused on department level issues (although that is helpful as well) but methods that would work across campus. Of course we already try to do that (in all kinds of different ways) but we want to do more (so that we all have more time for teaching and research). So has your college made a specific change which you think actually reduced faculty service workload and/or reduced service workload inequity for faculty. What was it, how did it work, etc. Thanks a bunch Marie Marie Helweg-Larsen, Ph.D. Associate Professor l Department of Psychology Kaufman 168 l Dickinson College Phone 717.245.1562 l Fax 717.245.1971 Office hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 10:30-11:30 http://users.dickinson.edu/~helwegm/index.html --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected] .
