Memo from Annette Chappell to Elaine Hedges, 1984

towson State University MEMORANDUM Date ....July 17, 1984 TO : Elaine Hedges, Coordinator of Women's Studies From:Annette Chappell Subject: ........ Workload .. measurements Elaine, because of the increasing pressure throughout the university on the concept of administrative release time for faculty members, such as program coordinators, I am trying to develop some workload measurements which will assist me in the future in protecting the release time of coordinators of interdisciplinary programs. I would therefore appreciate it if you could put together for me some measurements of your activities in the 1983-84 academic year specifically in terms of being coordinator of Women's Studies. (I know this is difficult because of the inter-relatedness of Women's Studies and the FIPSE grant). Such measurements as the following would be helpful: the number of majors and minors you personally served as advisor; the extent to which you are involved in negotiating with departments in order to coordinate curriculum and scheduling; any curriculum development you were engaged in (this is where the FIPSE connection becomes difficult); any other activities you engaged in specifically as coordinator of Women's Studies. This need not be a long or elaborate report, but I would appreciate having it by September 5, 1984. Thank you. AC/DD
