Programs and plans to insure faculty diversity shall generally reflect NASPAA 's Diversity Guidelines . I share with all members of the Assembly the conviction that University procedures should be conceived and carried out in such a way as to assure faculty members of their rights under the law and under University policies , and to minimize any need for appeals to external authority . The challenge remains for individual universities and geoscience departments to tailor their programs to their environments and to the needs of the Native Americans in their regions , and to devote faculty and departmental resources to help students successfully make the leap to university work . There was also discussion of ways to reward faculty who assist in achieving recruitment and retention goals , including diversity goals . The group came up with a proposal designed to reward faculty members who do well and who contribute to the success of the institution as a whole , said Bauer . " This improvement to our retirement plan is an important part of our efforts to reward faculty and staff for their years of service and to enhance UC 's recruitment and retention of a high-quality workforce , " said Judith W. Boyette , UC associate vice president for human resources and benefits . Permanent committees , with membership either appointed by the presiding officer or elected by the Faculty or the Faculty Senate , as appropriate , may be established as ongoing bodies to insure faculty participation in matters that are neither ad-hoc nor policy-developing in nature . The Provost 's Office annually sets aside $ 125,000 to fund faculty initiatives designed to enhance student learning .
