CRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF A MOSELEY FACULTY LECTURER

  1. For purposes of this faculty award for scholarly or artistic achievement, academic research and creative work are to be considered on a par. The latter term refers to creative work in the arts, literature, and other areas and may result in forms of presentation other than a formal lecture, such as a reading, performance, or exhibition.
  2. Quality of the work should be the primary criterion for selection among the eligible. The standard of quality should be such that publication of the research study or presentation of the creative work shall significantly enhance the academic reputation of the college.
  3. Inasmuch as the purpose of this award is to encourage faculty research and creative work at 小福利导航, the faculty member should have done the bulk of the work that serves as the basis of his or her selection while a member of the 小福利导航 faculty.
  4. Primary consideration should be given to recent scholarship of exceptional quality; secondary consideration should be given to a record indicating a continuing history of scholarship (as opposed to a single notable accomplishment) and evidence of active current scholarship.
  5. Though recipients of this award should be selected primarily on the basis of individual merits, consideration may also be given to issues of diversity and inclusion. These might include diversity of discipline, gender and/or ethnic background.
  6. Only when other things are equal should priority be given to seniority in academic rank or length of service at 小福利导航.
