  • Holding joint Faculty-Staff meetings keeps us accountable to one another and promotes collegial equity, transparency, and voice (though not vote) in decision-making processes that impact all of us in different ways.
  • Faculty load transparency and equity. 
  • Faculty pay-scale and promotion opportunities are (at least recently) on par with the rest of University, which promotes a culture of fairness and accountability among University colleagues, breaking down the sense that the Seminary makes its own rules.
  • Posting course descriptions and syllabi promotes fairness to students who know how much a course will cost them. 
  • Corporate worship/prayer promotes charity among faculty/staff, who then are better prepared to interact with accountability and honesty, and fairness in around matters of diverse/conflicting perspective. 
  • Feedback mechanisms for students (course evals, post-August survey, post-graduation survey, alumni survey) promotes accountability for faculty in our efforts to serve students and the church (ie. Are we achieving our missional goals of excellence in theological education for the sake of forming leaders for the church?)
  • PCUSA exams function as an accountability mechanism, comparing our students' results with the wider PCUSA results.
