Who are FEAs?
As part of the alignment process, Colleges have engaged an individual or team of individuals appointed by the Dean as Faculty Excellence Advocates (FEA). The individual(s) serving in this role are at senior levels as FEAs and have credibility with tenure stream faculty to be effective as change agents. Possible examples of FEAs include associate deans, past chairs, or senior faculty with interests in this area. FEAs must demonstrate a commitment to a core value of having a diverse faculty.

What does an FEA Do?
FEAs act as a link between the College Dean’s Office and the departments in providing input, guidance, and resources to units on academic human resource (AHR) procedures to ensure that these processes are objective, consistent, inclusive, and evaluation criteria used in faculty recruitment, retention and advancement are aligned with the goals of the unit, college and university.
