ABSTRACT
Faculty committee service can make heavy demands on a social work educator's time. It reduces opportunities to meet other role expectations such as good teaching and professional scholarship-expectations that receive close scrutiny when personnel decisions about tenure, promotion or merit pay increases are made.
The authors surveyed deans and directors of CSWE accredited graduate programs to examine a number of questions related to faculty committee work expectations and rewards that they carry. Data suggest that some committees exist within virtually all graduate programs and that all faculty are expected to share in committee responsibilities. Rewards and special considerations for responsible committee service are few. Other findings also are presented and discussed in relation to norms and variations that exist among graduate programs.
