Recommendations and Resources

benefits iconSome faculty groups, including professional and URM faculty, identified some areas of concern including salaries, professional development opportunities, and infrastructure to support growing teaching loads. The Steering Committee recommends:

  • Discussions between UNT administration and the Professional Faculty Resource Group to focus on professional faculty concerns and to identify action plans.
  • Increase support for professional development and encourage participation by URM and professional faculty.
  • Faculty can review UNT's commitment and work to date on ensuring equitable salary reviews and adjustments .
  • Develop mechanisms to assign value to the unrecognized workload that falls on URM faculty. Faculty Success and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will feature Dr. KerryAnn O'Meara, professor of higher education at the University of Maryland at College Park, to hold two workshops in the 2022-2023 academic year on workload equity and faculty evaluation equity.
  • A resource that supports the well-being of UNT faculty and staff is the Employee Assistance Program.
