Considerations:

A candidate hired at the rank of Associate or Professor may also be appointed as the Scholl Endowed Chair. Appointment as the Scholl Endowed Chair carries an academic year stipend ranging from $40,000 - $75,000 for each year the incumbent serves as the endowed chair. The length of term is five years, and upon expiration of the first term, a review will follow, where it may be renew for another three years. There is no limit on the total number of renewal periods an incumbent may seek. In addition, the holder of the endowed chair would receive four course releases per year while serving as the endowed chair. Should an incumbent cease to serve as the endowed chair, by election or administrative decision, the teaching load would recalibrate to the College’s research productivity level. 

 

Assistant level hires will not be considered for the endowed chair.
