This academic year, we again have two sources of funds for travel support: the College of Liberal Arts' allotment for travel to conferences (this combines money from the Provost's Office and the College's allocation) and the Department's Glick Foundation Fund for research travel. The Dean announced that the amount of this year's allotment for English Department travel is $22,000 and wrote the amount is based on “consideration for the availability to faculty of external travel support, our assessment of 'faculty quality,' and the number of research-active faculty members in each department.” On that basis, and according to general guidelines approved by Executive Committee, Brooks and Gayle have matched available funds with faculty travel plans. Given anticipated travel needs, allotments look like this:
Assistant professors or lecturers will be able to count on $450 per trip for
up to three conferences at which they will be delivering a paper or chairing
a session. Funds may not be combined to cover expenses for a single meeting.
Assistant professors who have indicated travel to conferences are Branch (3),
Brown (2), Lavezzo (1), Phillips (1), Stecopoulos (2) and Wittenberg (3).
Assistant professors can also count on $450 for each trip to a research library.
Assistant professors who have scheduled research trips are Brown (1), Kumar
(1), Lavezzo (2), Phillips (2), Stecopoulos (3), Trevor (1), and Wittenberg
(1).
Tenured faculty traveling to conferences for the purposes of delivering a paper
or chairing a session can count on $400 per trip for up to three conferences.
Funds may not be combined to cover expenses for a single meeting.
Faculty who have indicated trips to conferences are Boos (2), Creekmur (2) de
St. Victor (1), H.Diehl (1), Diffley (3), Eckstein (2), Emery (2), Fox (2),
Hamilton (1), Herr (3), Latham (1), Lutz (2), Mangum (2), Morris (3), Raeburn
(2), Rigal (1), Round (1), Swiss (3), Wilcox (3), Witt (1).
Tenured faculty planning a research trip to a library or manuscript collection
can count on $400 (from the Glick Fund) for each trip.
Faculty who have scheduled research trips are Adams (1), Bolton (1), Boos (1),
de St. Victor (1), H. Diehl (3), Eckstein (1), Emery (2), Kuenzli (1), Lutz
(1),Mangum (1), Round (1), Witt (2).
Faculty with joint appointments will receive proportional allocations of the
above, and should check with their other department for availability of further
funds. This applies to conference and research travel for Brown, Creekmur, Kuenzli,
Latham, Raeburn, Rigal, Swiss, and Wittenberg.
If your plans change, you need to inform Brooks immediately. If you did not
turn in travel plans, we will assume you do not plan to travel (if you find
you need travel support, you will need to talk to Brooks about whether or not
there are any funds left). Anyone else needing to make a research trip must
also check with Brooks about availability of funds.
These guidelines are in effect for the fiscal year; they cover all travel beginning
July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003. Travel must be completed and vouchers turned
in by June 15th. For travel between June 15th and June 30th, you will need to
make special arrangements with Amy Faulkner for reimbursement.
Reading Matters will appear on the Web and in faculty inboxes every other Wednesday as a combination of memos from the chair, announcements, deadlines, publication announcements, notices of speakers, conferences, and visitors of interest to the department. To be included in Reading Matters, announcements should be e-mailed to Amanda at am_17@hotmail.com by Monday afternoon.
