Based on reports that I'm picking up from our CALES Faculty Council representatives, I am concerned that there is a misconception across our academic units regarding the level of CALES central "Common Cost" funding support for teaching in the college. Specifically,
Faculty Council has requested that time be allocated at the upcoming ALVSCE Town Hall meeting next month to discuss a perception that funds for "teaching assistance" (TAs, graders, etc.,) have been slashed due to the current budget turmoil. </div>

While I'm happy to discuss the teaching assistance program at the Town Hall, I want to set the record straight right now by assuring everyone that
<b>we have NOT cut teaching assistance funds by even a penny this year. At $1,369,000, our CALES central funding for teaching assistance is exactly the same as it has been for the last two fiscal years. </b></div>

I've included two items for your review that get into the details of the new program we rolled out last academic year. Below is my memo to all of you in August 2022 (just over a year ago) announcing the new program, why we did it and what you should expect
in terms of its implementation. I've also attached the memo that Kirsten Limesand and I sent to our academic unit heads in July 2022 that provides even more details, including a breakdown of how the change would impact (increase or decrease) each academic
unit as a result of the new allocation rules. In both communications it is important to note that the total amount of assistance ($1.3 million) has not changed. But, the criteria for allocation did change, with the intent of benefiting a larger number of
faculty across the college with the new rules. I'll leave it to you to review both communications if you are interested.</div>

<ul data-editing-info="{"orderedStyleType":1,"unorderedStyleType":1}">
<li style="list-style-type: disc;">Four of our 10 units saw their "Common Cost" funding for teaching assistance decline because of the new method of allocating funds. The School of Plant Sciences saw the largest decrease, by far, as you will see in the attachment.
However, before we implemented the change, the CALES Division Business Services (DBS) office analyzed unit-held funds and determined that all four units had sufficient internal funds to absorb the decrease and replace the lost central funding with unit funds,
if they chose to do so. <br>
<div style="list-style-type: disc;"><br>
</div>
</li><li style="list-style-type: disc;">Consistent with our CALES culture of allowing resources and decision authority to flow directly to academic units, we've left it up to each unit to select the criteria they will use to allocate funds, with several caveats
that are made clear in the attached communications. Most important for you to know as faculty members is that regardless of the specifics of a unit's allocation rules, those rules 1)
<b>must be transparent and communicated to all faculty,</b> and 2) <b>must be administered consistently across faculty</b>. No surprises, no mystery. If that has not happened in your unit, then I suggest you ask your unit head to put the item on the agenda
for your next faculty meeting. </li></ul>
<div>I'm always happy to hear from you as to how the program is working. We can certainly discuss this at the upcoming Town Hall if the agenda allows us the time. But for now, rest assured that CALES support for teaching faculty has not diminished. All of
you, collectively, comprise the engine that propels the college forward, both fiscally and in terms of mission delivery. Both the Dean's office and the academic unit heads are committed to getting you the resources you need to deliver a high-quality experience
for our students. No doubt, CALES is in an extraordinarily challenging budget environment now, but cutbacks in support for teaching faculty are
<b>NOT</b> being discussed.</div>

Welcome back to classes for Fall 2022! Despite dodging monsoon showers as they moved in last week, students are back on campus and by all accounts are eager to dive into classes. On Friday afternoon we met 600 of our entering freshmen and transfer students
in the main ballroom of the Student Union, probably the only time we'll ever have that many of one cohort together at once. They were excited, attentive, likely a bit anxious, but ready to go. And, all signs point to as normal a start to a new academic
year as we've seen since August 2019. </div>

As we start the semester, I do have some important information to share with you regarding a change in the way that CALS will be allocating course TAs going forward. You may recall that last spring I appointed a Working Group to evaluate the allocation of
our college-wide resources that support teaching. The Working Group delivered its report in early May and the Dean's Executive Council has decided to adopt many of the report's key recommendations. </div>

Here is the essence of the new process. CALS is allocating $1.3 million of college funds (Common Cost funds) to support our undergraduate teaching efforts across the college. All academic units will see a change in the amount of support received, relative
to last year. Importantly, we will extend this Common Cost-funded teaching assistance to a much broader range of instructional faculty members across the college. We believe this will go a long way toward addressing the concerns we heard from many faculty
last year regarding inadequate and inconsistent support of undergraduate instruction. </div>

<div class="x_x_elementToProof" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Here is how the new system will work:</div>

<ul>
<li>Funds to support UG teaching will be distributed across academic units based on total undergraduate Student Credit Hours (SCH) generated by each unit the prior year.
<u>The calculation will incorporate all UG SCH delivered across all delivery channels.</u> Two key changes here: 1) teaching and TA support is no longer tied just to General Education and "Service" course enrollments. All courses contribute to and are eligible
to receive teaching support; 2) the new program brings online courses into eligibility for teaching support for the first time.</li><li style="display:block"><br>
</li><li>Funds need not be allocated only in discreet 1/4 time TA slots. Units are free to use and assign TAs when it makes sense, but we encourage flexibility in the form in which teaching assistance is delivered (e.g., to provide faculty with graders and other
non-TA forms of instructional support)</li></ul>
<ul>
<li>Each unit is allowed to adopt its own rules for allocating these "teaching assistance" funds, subject to the caveat that the Common Cost funding be fully allocated for teaching support each year and not diverted to some other purpose within the unit. These
funds are explicitly for the support of instructional faculty.</li><li style="display:block"><br>
</li><li>Whatever the allocation criteria used by an academic unit, the parameters must be clearly communicated to all faculty as a statement of departmental policy to ensure transparency and consistent treatment of each faculty member.</li></ul>
<div>Your respective unit heads will have more information about how the program will roll out within your unit. I encourage you to ask them. We've also encouraged a<span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">cademic units to
supplement this $1.3 million of Common Cost funding with their own unit-level funds when they identify appropriate needs and unit funds are available. </span></div>
<div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important"><br>
</span></div>
<div>I recognize that it may take more than one semester for each academic unit to work out the optimal way to allocate these funds. But, if we move forward together with transparency and consistent treatment as our guiding principles, I'm convinced that this
new system will positively impact a larger proportion of both our faculty and our students. I'll be interested to hear your feedback as we gain experience. </div>

<div>Good luck and best wishes for the start of your classes!</div>
