VI. Materials and Methods of Evaluation and Performance Standards: University/ Community Service

EachmemberoftheDepartmentofTheatreandDancefacultyisexpectedtobeanactive,affir- mativeparticipantinhelpingthedepartmentfulfillitsmissionandmeetstatedgoalsandobjec- tives. Thepolicyalsooutlinesexpectationsintheareaofservice:

Since the department is the primary unit of organization and the basic autonomous administrative unit within the University, each faculty member has a special responsibility to the department. One must assist in the orderly functioning of their department to advance its educational aims and purposes.

The principle of shared authority and participation in meeting the educational goals of the Uni- versity requires the faculty member, in addition to teaching and research, to accept a reasonable share of committee assignments and to assist, where appropriate, in public service to the citizens of Illinois. Faculty members must honor their commitments to the University just as they expect the University to honor its commitments to them.
