    BOARD OF REGENTS AGENDA ITEM 5 STATE OF IOWA DECEMBER 9, 2010 REVISED (Pages 59-61) Contact: Diana Gonzalez PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSIGNMENT REQUESTS FOR FY 2012 Action Requested: Consider approval of the requests by the Regent universities for professional development assignments for FY 2012. Executive Summary: Each year, the Board of Regents is asked to approve faculty professional development assignments as specified in the Board Policy Manual §4.09. The universities request approval of 95 faculty professional development assignments for FY 2012. This represents a decrease of 12 (-11.2%) proposed professional development assignments from the prior year and the third consecutive decrease. A brief description of each proposed assignment is available in Attachment A (pages 6-32). A brief description of each professional development assignment completed in 2009-2010 is available in Attachment B (pages 33-59); this report provides information about the value added to the students, university, and state from the assignments, including more than $5.2 million of funds obtained through grant proposals and the submission of additional grant proposals. This report addresses the Board of Regents Strategic Plan priority on “educational excellence and impact.” Background: Institutional policies. Each university has academic policies that describe the process and requirements for professional development assignments. University of Iowa. Full-time faculty members with 9-month appointments who completed a minimum of 10 semesters of full-time academic service are eligible for an initial one-semester professional development assignment. Flexible load assignments may or may not be included in the 10 required semesters at the discretion of the college.
