FAQs

Questions will be added as they arise.

+ How were the criteria for DSI determined?

The Committee on Salary Increase includes comments on the accomplishments of faculty as part of their recommendations for a DSI award. A majority of the criteria reflect those comments, which are based on an established understanding of baseline expectations, what it means to exceed baseline expectations, and what constitutes exemplary performance. Additional criteria were added because they reflect institutional priorities, e.g., professional development-related activities.

+ I was on sabbatical during 2025. How shall I demonstrate meeting baseline requirements during my leave? + I was on paid medical leave during the reporting year. How shall I demonstrate meeting baseline requirements during that time?
