to provide training for undergraduate and graduate students; and to strengthen the reputation of the department for scholarly productivity as an aid in obtaining high quality students and faculty, grants and equipment. Scholarly accomplishment may be demonstrated in several ways but the most specific and compelling evidence is publications of stature resulting from work undertaken while a member of the faculty of Western Washington University. Primary examples of such publications are original papers in refereed journals, scholarly monographs, books, and review articles. Activities and publications which involve undergraduate students are especially valued. Also considered significant are the authorship of textbooks and relevant instructional materials, software, patents, awards of research grants, presentations at professional meetings, and seminar presentations. Scholarly contributions may be made as an individual or as a member of a group. In the latter case, the contribution of the individual to the group effort will be weighed. In all instances, however, the stature and significance of the scholarship is of paramount importance. Service Members of the chemistry faculty are expected to participate in service to the department and the community. Primary areas of service include the following: Membership on departmental, college and university committees and active participation in university affairs is valued and deemed important. Activities on behalf of professional organizations are encouraged and valued. Such activities include service as officers or as members of regional or national committees. Peer reviewing of grant proposals, journal manuscripts, etc. is also recognized as a worthwhile contribution. Participation as a chemist-educator before significant public or professional gatherings bring credit to the department and to the university and therefore are encouraged. Participation by Faculty in the Review Process Unless they are on leave, all tenured faculty members are expected to submit an individual written assessment of the dossier and to vote.
