Budget Council Report

In a separate statement, the budget council statement should assess the candidate's service contributions in the two broad service areas (administrative and academic) during the last three years. The typed names and signatures of those budget council members who prepared the assessment should be included on the statement. The report should assess the candidate's service contributions in two broad areas:

• Administrative and committee service, positions of leadership, such as chairing a committee, should be noted in particular.
• Academic and professionally related public service.

Outstanding service in scholarly or professional organizations, in particular, and its significance should be noted—for example, whether an editorship is of a highly respected, refereed journal or whether an elected office is in a significant scholarly organization. A distinction should be made between editorship of a journal and membership on a large editorial board.
