Colleagues,

As indicated in the faculty statues, FIDC has the "every-year" responsibility to make a call for new faculty/staff positions, review submitted proposals, and then make recommendations to the Dean about hiring decisions. As a part of this process, FIDC needs to understand and document program/department needs and then convey these to the Dean of the Faculty. Faculty and staff are reminded that the Dean, as an ex officio member of FIDC is involved in all committee conversations leading to the FIDC recommendations.

The process of making and reviewing the call for new faculty/staff has evolved over the years and the current FIDC has chosen to revisit this critical process. As in past years, FIDC receives the following data from the Dean in order to assist in making recommendations:

- Course Credit per FTE by Department(past 10 years)
- Graduated Majors Summary Report by Department (with 5 and 10 year average)
- Total Majors Summary by Department (with 5 and 7 year averages)
- Majors of Incoming Students (past ~10 years)

FIDC also maintains/reviews requests/proposals made in the past 5 years.

In addition to these above stated documents, FIDC would like to request that each program/department begin to generate and maintain a Program History Document. An example of such a document for the Dept of Chemistry is shown below:

Using all above mentioned documents FIDC will be more able to identifying short and long-term staffing needs in order to make data-driven recommendations to the Dean.

Through this communication, FIDC requests programs and departments prepare this new Program History Document by XXX, 2019.

Programs/Departments are also requested to submit proposals for new faculty/staff positions by YYY, 2019.

FIDC thanks you for your efforts in this regard and we look forward to receiving/reviewing your proposals.

Please send proposals to Brad Sturgeon, chair FIDC.
