Members Invited to Sponsor New Faculty Participation in SVHE New
Teachers Workshop, July 22-26, 2001 The Society for Values in Higher Education (SVHE) offers a highly beneficial summer workshop for new faculty assuming their first full-time college or university teaching position. Colleges and universities who have hired new faculty for the fall are invited to provide travel support for their new faculty to participate in an intensive orientation to college level teaching, learning theory, and institutional citizenship. Held July 22-26 on the campus of Alfred University in New York State, the SVHE Workshop for New Teachers is staffed by experienced faculty who themselves are superb teachers at small to mid-sized institutions. SVHE provides registration and room/board costs and asks that participants also attend the annual SVHE Conference, also held at Alfred, July 26-30. SVHE's membership consists of higher education faculty and administrators and professionals from the wider world who care about values issues in education such as integrity, diversity, democracy, and social justice. The core of the annual conference is a series of interdisciplinary morning group seminars that explore values questions and higher education issues in scholarly ways. ANAC members interested in sponsoring the travel costs of one or more of their new faculty should contact Jerry Berberet (anacjberb@aol.com, ph 850-927-3948) or Sherry Stock at the SVHE office (society@pdx.edu, ph. 503-725-2575). For more information on the Workshop or the SVHE Conference, visit the SVHE website: www.svhe.pdx.edu. Postmark deadline for new faculty to apply for the New Teacher Workshop is April 15. Applications should include a letter describing background and career interests, a current curriculum vita and arrangements for a letter of reference to be sent to SVHE by April 22.

NEW ACADEMIC COMPACT Highlighting the Associated New American College's Faculty Work Project, this new book examines the call for redefining faculty roles and institutional relationships. Believing that in order to serve students successfully colleges must invest in faculty effectiveness, the overriding goal of the project has been to lay the conceptual groundwork for bringing the institution's faculty policies and practices and the actual work patterns of faculty into optimal alignment with the institutional mission.

Associated New American Colleges Registration Form: Please Submit to Woodrow Wilson Foundation by May 1, 2001 The Associated New American Colleges (ANAC) invite participants from across higher education to join in efforts to implement ANAC's call for collaboration between faculty members and the institutions where they work. This is the central recommendation of the report, A New Academic Compact, from ANAC's four-year faculty work project, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, to be published by Anker Press in the Fall. A New Compact is grounded in the assumption that higher education's mission, students, and faculty professionalism and satisfaction are best served through a faculty-institutional relationship based on mutuality and reciprocity. ANAC member colleges and universities are invited to send teams of faculty and administrators to participate in the Institute, both those who are already underway in report implementation and those who wish to use the Institute to begin to consider institutional implications of A New Compact. Special attention will be given to the role of department chairs. Because A New Compact addresses the full spectrum of issues in aligning faculty work and institutional policies and practices with mission, e.g., hiring, workload, faculty development, evaluation, rewards, governance, and career stages, every ANAC member will find support in focusing on its particular institutional concerns and priorities. Speakers, resource persons, and Institute sessions will be geared to this range of issues to assist each team in developing plans for implementation back on campus. Participating teams should consist of at least two department chairs and are encouraged to include other faculty leaders such as the chair or a member of the faculty rank and tenure or personnel committee. NB: To enable the Institute to function effectively, each team is asked to submit by May 15 a 1-2 page description of the issue/problem the team will address during the Institute. If you have questions regarding the Institute program, contact Jerry Berberet, ANAC Executive Director, 2248 Sailfish Dr., St. George, Island, FL 32328.
