Focusing on the link between the school's mission and the faculty development and management processes, this seminar will consider new and tested approaches in establishing criteria for participating and supporting faculty, and AQ/PQ faculty performance.

• Deans, associate and assistant deans, department chairs, and faculty members involved in accreditation and faculty review processes.

Learning Outcomes:

• Develop appropriate criteria to classify faculty members for accreditation purposes.

• Learn evaluation systems to accommodate different faculty tracks (i.e., teaching vs. research, clinical, etc.), including considerations of school size and structure and the blend / balance of AQ/PQ faculty.
   
• Discuss faculty mentoring, as well as international perspectives on faculty classification.
   
• Review and discuss AACSB Accreditation Standards 2 and 11 and their interface with Standards 9 and 10.
