Faculty Reporting Systems
Annual Report of Faculty Achievement (ARoFA)
Annual Reports of Faculty Achievement (ARoFA) assist the university in collecting valuable information regarding faculty accomplishments and accolades. Annual faculty self-reporting serves as the primary source for collecting this information. Faculty from schools and colleges represented by the Temple-TAUP Collective Bargaining Agreement must complete and submit an ARoFA prior to a prescribed deadline each year to be eligible for merit consideration (Salary Increases Article).
Faculty Development Plan (FDP)
Faculty Development Plans (FDPs) are a planning tool that schools and colleges may use to accompany a structured dialogue that occurs annually between faculty and chairs regarding accomplishments, goals, and plans for professional development. For questions about the FDP tool, please contact Kristin Swift, Senior Director for Faculty Affairs.
Faculty Activity Report (FAR)
The Faculty Activity Report (FAR) is a brief survey that collects instructional output data (average weekly activity spent doing instruction, instructional support, research, et al.) from faculty. Data collected twice a year is used by the Office of Institutional Research to compose elements of Temple University’s annual Snyder Report submission to the Department of Education and the Pennsylvania State Appropriations Committee. This report summarizes the University’s instructional output, faculty salaries, workloads and student credit hours. No identifying information is associated with this report submission; data is presented in aggregate.
Public Safety
The safety of both the Temple and North Philadelphia communities is foundational to the vibrant learning environment we create for our students. As an institution of higher education, our primary goal is educating our students and to do this, we all (city, state, university, partners) have to strive to ensure the safety of this city and our community. Our team of diverse and highly trained professionals that make up the Temple University Department of Public Safety is committed to nurturing a safe and desirable space for those who live, work and visit.
TUSafe
TUSafe is a one-touch personal safety app available to all students, faculty and staff members at Temple’s U.S. campuses. The new app has enhanced safety features that allow you to directly connect with Temple University’s Department of Public Safety.
