Our Meeting Today
 Get to know each other
 Project overview – the grant and expanded
activities to other colleges
 The roles of FEAs
– Present
– Future
 Next steps
ADVANCE/ADAPP is an opportunity …
Not only to
accomplish the
extraordinarily
important
objectives we
proposed in the
grant with
respect to
women faculty
in SSC, CNS, and
EGR, but also to:
• Improve and leverage
practices across the
institution
• Increase the quality and
diversity of the entire
MSU faculty
Our Six Guiding Principles
THE ADAPP APPROACH
 Approach supported by theory and a large body of
research demonstrating that increasing the structure and
alignment of policies and practices will promote a high quality
and inclusive workforce (Arthur and Doverspike, 2005; Ericksen
& Dyer, 2005; Evans, Puckik, & Barsoux, 2002; Gratton & Truss,
2003).
 This project is creating tools NOT rules
 Units, colleges, Provost & academic governance create and
modify the “rules”
 Tools will be built on best practices & be responsive to
college-based needs (as demonstrated by data).
Advancing Diversity through the Alignment of Policies and Practices (ADAPP)
FACULTY EXCELLENCE ADVOCATES
 Senior faculty serving as Faculty Excellence Advocates (FEAs)
work with colleges and departments, as well as with Academic
Human Resources.
 25% appointment, either from grant or from Provost
 Are held accountable for helping to move the objectives of
the project forward (via periodic reporting)
 FEAs have worked with grant personnel to collect data via
surveys of:
 Current practices in departments; and
 Faculty perceptions of faculty hiring, evaluation, resource
allocation and advancement
Advancing Diversity through the Alignment of Policies and Practices (ADAPP)
FEA’S (cont.)
 FEA roles going forward -- How do we best advance
quality and inclusion?
 Identify best practices in AHR at the college & department level
 Communicate these practices to chairs, faculty advisory
committee members, fellow FEAs, your faculty as a whole, as
well as with the AHR and ADAPP team.
 Identify opportunities for ADAPP and AHR to support chairs
and units
 Promote existing resources
 Identify any lack of alignment
 Suggest new/improved policies and practices
 Other?
NEXT STEPS …
How can FEAs, AHR and ADAPP communicate as
we move forward?
(on-line strategies, in-person meetings, ½ day
retreat, sub-groups, other?)
