Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the scope of the FAC?
The FAC is a body that advocates for additions and/or changes in
the UVa School of Medicine infrastructure and policies to the
benefit of existing faculty across all disciplines on issues such as
career infrastructure, work/life balance, childcare, and
eldercare.
- May faculty contact members of the FAC
directly?
Yes, all members of the FAC are available to act as a guide to
resources and next steps for any UVa faculty member. Please visit
the Committee
Members page of this site for brief biographical
and contact information for our members.
- What services will committee members provide?
Members will act as confidential counsel and make recommendations
regarding useful resources, next steps, or procedural policy in
individual cases. New faculty are particularly encouraged to contact
members for further resources on negotiating UVa and
Charlottesville.
- Does the FAC become directly involved as arbiter in
negotations or grievances?
No. The FAC does not arbitrate directly for faculty with
colleagues, departments, or the Institution. The FAC will act as an
information and referral service to faculty in directing them to
the appropriate body for arbitration. The formal grievance body
available to all faculty at UVa is the Faculty
Senate.
- Is the FAC involved in funding individuals or
interests?
No. The FAC is not a funding organization, although committee
members are available to make informal recommendations.
- May I contact a committee member if I am in search of a
new mentor?
While FAC members may have informed recommendations for building a
productive mentor-mentee relationship, members themselves are not
available as extradepartmental mentors.
- Will my identity and information remain confidential if I
consult with an FAC member?
Yes. All personal information will be kept strictly confidential.
The FAC will report to the institution, particularly through the Faculty
Development Advisory Committee, in order to advocate change or
innovation in School of Medicine infrastructure or policy,
but will not report any information which would reveal
identity.
