Institutionalization of community-engaged scholarship at institutions that are both land-grant and research universities

May 1, 2015

This article reports on North Carolina State University’s community-engaged scholarship faculty development program established in 2009–2010. Literature that grounded the development of the program is first presented, followed by sections on program design, implementation, and products produced by the participants. The authors reflect on how institutional identity as both a land-grant and research university leads to four main tensions: funding support, reappoint¬ment, promotion, and tenure policies, and faculty commitment. In conclusion, the article asserts that this dual-identity creates a contradiction that challenges the institutionalization of engaged scholarship.
