Yours is an absurd response to a Provost paying faculty to do academic work, and entirely backwards. Thankfully, I’m confident that senators can see the value in these positions to the Senate and the university as a whole. Of course, I was involved in creating the position description for the Teaching Fellow and will be involved in the selection process. <br>
<br>
I continue to strongly encourage senators who want to do this work - and get compensated generously for it - to apply for these positions. They’re an outstanding opportunity to contribute to the academic mission of the university and shared governance.</div>

<div class="">Obviously Patrick has plenary power to spend money and give out course releases as he sees fit to who he sees fit, but I suggest you insist on more Senate control over appointments like this, before for giving a Senate stamp of approval to a process which cuts the Senate out of any real input.</div>

<div dir="auto" class="">Good afternoon, Senators,<br class="">
<br class="">
I’d like to draw your attention to the new <a href="https://provost.uoregon.edu/provost-fellows-program-stage" target="_blank" class="">Provost’s Fellows</a> program that launched today. The Office of the Provost is hiring three promoted faculty to work on special projects related to teaching, leadership, and mentorship. These positions are opportunities to gain experience in campus leadership and contribute to some high priority areas in academics, equity, and faculty development. The Teaching Fellow, for example, will be working with the Senate to help implement some of the changes we proposed to how inclusive teaching is defined, assessed, and rewarded.<br class="">
<br class="">
I especially encourage senators to apply for these. The positions each come with three course releases over a year plus a summer stipend. See the program website or <a href="https://around.uoregon.edu/content/provost-announces-faculty-fellowships-lead-core-areas" target="_blank" class="">this piece</a> for some further information. </div>
