The Committee on Teaching and Scholarship (TAS) is accepting proposals for funding from the Arthur Butine Faculty Development Fund. The deadline is Friday, October 16. Late applications are not accepted. Information about the fund, instructions, and application materials are available on the Butine Moodle site.Faculty are encouraged to submit applications, while understanding that the pandemic adds a layer of uncertainty for what will be possible. There may still be cancellations, delays, or travel restrictions as happened in Spring. If the current University travel policy is in effect when the time comes for a funded Butine activity, then a travel exemption would be required. Let’s hope for a better environment in 2021 and keep making plans even though they may be disrupted. Questions can be directed to the TAS Chair, Diane Sotak, at tas@up.edu.
