2002-2003 Objectives:

1. Encourage through Faculty Handbook revisions and other means an atmosphere a UT in which faculty promotion and tenure committees will recognize that significant participation in international activities is central to the mission of the academy.
2. Continue working to establish a cross-campus uniformity of procedures to maintain the payment of salary, benefits, etc. to faculty members who take their leave to travel outside the country to conduct research or participate in exchange programs.
3. Strengthen efforts to educate the faculty about their own potential international options (through, for example, Fulbright) and about possibilities for their hosting academics from abroad on similar programs.
4. Work to help ensure the availability of on-campus housing options for visiting international faculty and for international student visitors to the UT campus.
5. Encourage UT to establish international student enrollment management policies and to involve itself actively in international student recruitment activities.

Note: The International Education Committee now assumes all duties and responsibilities of the former International Education Council.
