Faculty Associates

Faculty Associates represent the Institutional FTEs that are allocated to the CSRC but appointed in traditional departments. They excel in their scholarship, administrative service, and community service, and have been pivotal in expanding the Chicano studies curriculum and overall student enrollment within their departments, including the number of advanced students conducting research in Chicano studies as well as enrollments in ethnic studies courses.  In September 2021, the number of Institutional FTEs was increased as part of the UCLA HSI Infrastructure Initiative in order to "build up UCLA’s intellectual community devoted to Latinx life” and recruit “individuals whose teaching, scholarship and/or mentoring has ties to Latinx experiences.” Faculty Associates serve on the Faculty Advisory Committee (FAC).
