Montclair State University, Upper Montclair, New Jersey
Author: Faculty Scholarship Incentive Program (FSIP)
Abstract: Shortly after the publication of Ernest Boyer's now classic Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate, Montclair State University undertook a reconceptualization of the meaning of scholarship and of the roles of and rewards for faculty. When Provost Richard Lynde announced willingness to examine both teaching load and the meaning of scholarship in the Fall, 1990 he signaled the beginning of four years of negotiations leading to the Faculty Scholarship incentive Program (FSIP). The program was intended to provide faculty with the option of reducing the teaching load from twelve to nine credits per semester and to allow them to use the other three credits to pursue scholarship defined within the scope of their career interests. For more information, please contact Richard A. Lynde, Academic Affairs, 973-655-4382. 

Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, Iowa 
Abstract: Faculty at Buena Vista University approved a three-year "trial" Faculty Appointment Policies and Procedures Policy that expires at the end of Spring Semester 2002. The tenure and promotion process at Buena Vista University supports faculty development in two ways. First it seeks to encourage the individual faculty member in efforts to improve skills and grow professionally. Second, it attempts to guarantee that the Buena Vista faculty is of the highest possible quality and demonstrably dedicated to teaching, academic advising, professional engagement, and service. It is under the heading of Professional Engagement that the University recognizes that professional growth, scholarship, and other kinds of creative activity can take a variety of forms. Because Buena Vista University is a New American College, its faculty members are rewarded for contributions to the scholarship of engagement and integration which helps like work in the disciplines both to the classroom and to society at large. To learn more about Buena Vista's RTP process, please contact Dr. Christopher Johnson, Assistant Professor of Religion (712-749-2179, (johnsonc@bvu.edu ) , or Dr. Karen Halbersleben, VP for Academic Affairs & Dean of Faculty (712-749-2400, halbers@bvu.edu  )

A review of standard texts reveals very little citation of this cross-cultural literature; one has to access journals such as the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology or the Journal of Intercultural Studies or specialized texts to obtain this information.

Teaching Sociology
URL: http://www.lemoyne.edu/ts/tsmain.html 
A quarterly publication of the American Sociological Association, this journal publishes articles, notes, and reviews intended to be helpful to teachers of sociology. Articles range from experimental studies of teaching and learning to broad, synthetic essays on pedagogically important issues. This journal also shares theoretically stimulating and practically useful information and advice among teachers. Submission of manuscripts to a professional journal clearly implies commitment to publish in that journal. The competition for journal space requires a great deal of time and effort on the part of editorial readers whose main compensation for this service is the opportunity to read papers prior to publication and the gratification associated with discharge of professional obligations. For these reasons the ASA regards submission of a manuscript to a professional journal while that paper is under review by another journal as unacceptable."
