The FAC is planning to discuss several topics this semester, and welcomes comments and opinions from our faculty colleagues. Please contact the FAC chair or any member of the FAC – or your BFC representative. These discussions may lead to no action, suggestions or best practice guidelines, or proposed changes to IUB policies.

• Royalties for Instructor-Developed Materials: Instructors sometimes require their students to purchase materials from which they earn a monetary payment. We want to encourage faculty to develop textbooks and other materials that improve instruction (especially those widely used at many universities), and at the same time ensure students are treated fairly and not required to pay egregious amounts for materials commonly provided without charge (e.g., assignment solutions, PowerPoint slides).
  
  
• Student Evaluations of Teaching (SET). SET have move online and FAC will be discussing the issues and concerns faculty have with SET.
  
  
• Faculty Activity Reporting with DMAI. Faculty are asked to complete annual reports of research, teaching, and service activities using the DMAI system. FAC will be discussing the issues and concerns faculty have with DMAI.
