Among the issues to be addressed by these guideline statements are: Promoting excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service Standards for employment, tenure, promotion, and other types of evaluation Course staffing, teaching loads, and class size Recruiting and sustaining a diverse faculty Faculty rewards, compensation, and recognition Use of technology Professional development, including activities for department chairs Professional ethics Role of non-tenure-track faculty in departments Relationships with client disciplines (e.g. engineering), including identifying who has responsibility within institutions for teaching mathematics courses Allocation and use of resources, including budget, space, library, and equipment Support staff The committee is expected to publish at least one guidelines statement per year. In addition, the committee will be available to the Association and the broader mathematical community for consultation on issues of concern to faculty in academic departments.
