Staff Development Budget and
Guidelines for Staff and Faculty
College of Health and Human
Services
Western Michigan University
The
budget sheet below lists the technology budget for the College of Health and
Human Services for the 2002/2003 fiscal year.
It is noted that there are little
monies
allocated directly for staff or faculty development out of the technology
fund. The only items related to staff
development from the college monies are
services provided by the technology
coordinator and his technical staff (students) to each department for hands-on
instruction and training when implementing
new
hardware or software for that unit.

The
faculty development budget is based on each faculty member attending the
national conference each year. Although
many of the activities at the
conference
are related to overall program development, each faculty member (licensed
physician assistant) must complete a number of continuing medical
education
credits to retain there licensure and may receive them by attending workshops
and seminars at the conference.

The
above budget is based on a one-day trip to a conference in the Detroit area for
a faculty or staff member. Figures are
based on current university
rates
for travel and lodging. Most staff and
faculty members have a university corporate credit card but any other materials
and incidentals would most
likely
be included in registration or lodging fees.
The university allows for the use of ones own automobile at the rate
listed above or staff may request
a
university vehicle at approximately the same rate. Budget information and other figures were obtained in part
through interview with the persons listed
below.
