Input from the Faculty Advisory Council and interested faculty researchers influenced the human subjects process to facilitate SOTL activities.

Input from the Faculty Advisory Council and interested faculty researchers facilitated access to institutional data (registrar, etc.) for SOTL researchers.

These achievements were important steps in “developmental scaffolding” for faculty embarking on SOTL projects. An aversive institutional review board decision regarding students as human subjects or inability to gain access to essential background data regarding the students in the study can be lethal to a SOTL project.
