STANDARD 5—SCHOLARSHIP: RESEARCH, CREATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY

1. Describe the institution’s mission regarding scholarship by faculty and the unit’s policies for achieving that mission.

Faculty at High Point University are expected to develop robust academic and/or creative work agendas. As noted in the faculty handbook:

Effective faculty members are actively engaged with their academic fields as scholars and as confident exponents and interpreters of their disciplines. They are so engaged because of their abiding interest in and passion for the practice of the discipline (. . .). Faculty scholarship can help shape the academic environment at the University. Faculty scholarship creates an intellectual atmosphere at the University that sets before faculty members and students alike a model for a community that can inspire and motivate students and faculty to higher levels of personal achievement. Faculty scholarship brings recognition not just to the person but also to the community that has formed itself to support such activity. An inspiring intellectual atmosphere, significant ability to mentor students and colleagues in collaborative projects, and recognition to the University are important benefits of a vibrant scholarly culture.

Scholarship—which includes creative work as well as peer-reviewed academic endeavors—is typically expected to account for roughly 33% of each tenured or tenure-track faculty member’s workload. (Exceptions are made for special appointments.)

The Nido R. Qubein School of Communication (NQSC/School) has developed policies that privilege the pursuit of academic inquiry and creative expression.

ACEJMC Standard 5 5-4

Faculty meet expectations of scholarship through peer-reviewed journal articles, academic or trade book projects, research presentations to regional and national conferences, and showings of and awards for creative works at regional and national festivals, among other activities. Tenure-track faculty who do not have an active research/production agenda will not meet the expectations for professional activity and are not supported by the School for merit pay increases, tenure, or promotion. Standards for satisfying the annual expectations of scholarship are published in the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication Faculty Handbook. Relevant sections of that publication is reprinted as pages 5-5 and 5-6 below.

[Note: University tenure and promotion rules have been modified and were approved by the university faculty in September 2015. The School of Communication’s Personnel Committee is currently preparing a draft that adapts the School’s policies to the new university rules.

2. Define the group of faculty whose work is included in this section and state time restrictions used to incorporate activities of faculty who were not employed by the unit during all of the previous six years (for example, new faculty and retired faculty).

The section below includes work produced by individuals while they were employed by the NQSC. For faculty members whose employment began after 2009 and faculty who have left High Point University since 2009, this report only includes those works produced during their time of employment at HPU.

Only tenured and tenure-track professors, associate professors, and assistant professors are typically expected to conduct research and/or produce juried creative works. Instructors, professors of the practice of communication, and the artist-in-residence are under no contractual obligations to conduct research or produce creative works, yet many are productive scholars/producers, and their work is also included below.

Professors: Kate Fowkes (pre-NQSC hire) Judy Isaksen (pre-NQSC hire) Wilfred Tremblay (2007; dean, full-time administration)

3. Provide counts of the unit’s overall productivity in scholarship for the past six years by activity. Adapt the grid to best reflect institutional mission and unit policies and provide a brief narrative.

The NQSC privileges scholarly pursuits—including creative works—as evidenced in the grid below. Despite scholarship typically accounting for one- third of an individual tenure-track/tenured faculty member’s work load, the School has generated an average of 45 journal articles, academic presentations, awards and other evidence of scholarship and creative activities each year since 2009. Further, faculty who are not required to produce scholarship (e.g. instructors, assistant professors of the practice of communication) also produce scholarly and creative works, testifying to the School’s culture and commitment to professional growth and activities.

Our overall productivity snapshot since fall 2009:

5. Describe the institution’s policy regarding sabbaticals, leaves of absence with or without pay, etc.

Faculty members may apply for sabbaticals for one semester at full pay or two consecutive semesters at half pay, as specified in Section 8.3 of the High Point

ACEJMC Standard 5 5-44

University Faculty Handbook. The Committee on Professional Growth, which includes the dean of the school or college, evaluates proposals and makes recommendations to the president, who may submit a recommendation to the Board of Trustees for approval. Eligible expenses include a half-year salary, travel, books and supplies, research materials, and so forth.

Faculty members who are pursuing a doctorate may apply for a year-long, full- salary doctoral leave of absence, as specified in Section 8.6 of the High Point University Faculty Handbook. The request for a doctoral study leave is reviewed by the provost and the Professional Growth Committee, and approved or rejected by the president.

A tenured faculty member who “is no longer carrying out the responsibilities for which he/she is appointed may be placed on an involuntary leave of absence for up to six months, as specified in Section 5.2 of the High Point university Faculty Handbook. These leaves may be granted as a result of a medical issue—including physical and mental health concerns—or “when it is found that there is a strong risk that a faculty member’s continued assignment of regular duties or presence on campus will cause immediate or serious harm to the University community.”

6. List faculty who have taken sabbaticals or leaves during the past six years.

Three faculty have taken leaves since 2009.

Kate Fowkes was awarded a sabbatical in fall 2012 to research and write a scholarly book. Dr. Fowkes also took a medical leave of absence in fall 2013.

Nahed Eltantawy was awarded a professional development leave congruent with her Fulbright Scholar award in spring 2012. Dr. Eltantawy intended to teach and research in the United Arab Emirates, but last-minute visa problems prevented her from travel. Since she was not scheduled to teach classes that semester, the School granted Dr. Eltantawy a professional development leave at full salary for one semester.

Lastly, Judy Isaksen has been granted a sabbatical for spring 2016.

7. Describe travel funding, grant support, or other methods or programs the unit uses to encourage scholarship, research, and creative and professional activity.

Every faculty member at High Point University is allotted funds for professional development. These funds come out of the university’s general budget but are allocated through the individual schools. Faculty use these funds to attend conferences and conventions, present academic papers and creative works, attend film festivals and other media events related to their fields, buy computer equipment and other technology for classroom and personal use, and purchase other materials related to their teaching and research. Currently, each full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty member receives up to $2,000 a year; non-tenure-track faculty receive up to $1,000. These funds are authorized by the candidate’s chair and the dean. Often there is additional funding available in the professional development account at the end of each fiscal year, and the dean has disbursed this money to help faculty defray previously uncovered expenses.

The university also allocates $100,000 in grants for the Think BIG! awards program. These competitive grants fund exceptional faculty projects designed to enhance the student learning experience and enrich the life of the broader academic community through innovative and academically rigorous initiatives.

Additionally, the university’s Office of Service Learning offers development grants to fund community-based service-oriented projects that expand student horizons and allow students to apply their education toward real-world experiences. The $2,000 grants underwrite the cost of preparing the new course and compensate the faculty member for participating in three professional development workshops.

The NQSC also provides money for faculty to participate in other endeavors on a case-by-case basis. For example, the School funds faculty who undertake the Poynter Institute’s News University Adjunct Certificate program, an online course of study aimed at improving the teaching of adjunct faculty members.

ACEJMC Standard 5 5-46

8. List faculty who have taken advantage of those programs during the past six years.

Nearly all NQSC faculty take advantage of allotted university professional development funds. For most faculty these funds are the primary source for travel, conference registration, and other academic-related costs. The publications and presentations that benefitted from these funds are numerous, as covered in item 4 above.

In addition to these funds, our School’s faculty have received several of the university’s competitive grants listed below.

Think BIG! Awards 2012: Carol Davis, for the HPU Democracy USA Project; $50,000.

2011: Virginia McDermott, for GPS: Go Places Safely – A Teaching/Research/Service Approach to Promoting Safe Driving; $25,000.

Service Learning Grants 2014: Brian Heagney, to integrate service learning into COM 2252—Character and User-Interface Design. Students worked with local elementary-age students to help them develop characters and storylines of their own: $2,000.

2014: Sojung Kim, to integrate service learning into COM 3335—Strategic Message Development in Health Communication. Students worked with a local health-related nonprofit organization to develop a campaign revolving around the group’s core issue: $2,000.
