The Office of Faculty Affairs coordinates a variety of activities associated with faculty life and academic programming on the Boulder campus. The office is a branch of the division of Academic Affairs and is administered by the vice provost and associate vice chancellor for faculty affairs.
Major office functions include: faculty recruitment, hiring, and appointments; reappointment, tenure, and promotion; post-tenure review; leaves, sabbaticals, and retirement; academic program reviews; salary equity appeals; faculty relations; faculty development, support and mentoring programs; processing faculty personnel actions requiring approval by the University of Colorado Board of Regents, President or Chancellor; the Faculty Report of Professional Activities (FRPA); and the Leadership Education For Advancement and Promotion (LEAP) program.
Picture A Scientist chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we encounter scientific luminaries - including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists - who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.
