2. The faculty member would be required to hold a doctoral degree or terminal degree in their discipline. ABD’s would be eligible.
3. Funds from the Chief Diversity Officer’s budget would support 50% of the faculty member’s salary and benefits for the 1st year; and 25% of the faculty member’s salary and benefits for the 2nd year. For year 3 and beyond, the University would provide 25% of the faculty member’s salary and benefits. The department will then be allowed to retain 25% as lapse salary.
