Faculty Affairs

Institutional Research and Analytics

The Office of Institutional Research and Analytics (IRA) conducts institutional research and supports assessment at the University of Virginia. The office provides the University community with reliable data and analysis needed for decision-makers to support student success and to maintain and improve institutional effectiveness. IRA staff gather, analyze, interpret, and disseminate data, employing the highest professional standards of accuracy, objectivity, and timeliness.

Professional Development Across Faculty Careers

The Office of the Provost provides programs and resources to support faculty thriving and well-being throughout their careers.  These programs include: 

 

New Faculty Orientation

This two-day orientation in mid-August provides a welcome and introduction to UVA for all faculty hired at UVA over the preceding year. New faculty are connected with resources at UVA to support them in their teaching, research, service and have the opportunity to build relationships with each other and with UVA leadership and senior faculty.

Leadership Development

Faculty are often called upon to serve in a variety of leadership roles throughout their careers. The Office of the Provost provides a range of opportunities to support and teach faculty about best practices in inclusive, effective leadership so that they might best achieve their goals and serve the people and missions in their charge. 

Guidance for Faculty Salary Adjustments

In accordance with the Financial Impact Memo sent to the University community on April 14, the University will have no merit increases, effective through the end of the next fiscal year (June 30, 2021). We recognize that in times of a salary freeze, compensation adjustments sometimes must be made to retain our best faculty, who are so crucial to fulfilling the University’s core missions of teaching, research, and patient care. This document is designed to provide guidance to schools regarding the process by which exceptions to the salary freeze may be considered by the provost.
