undergraduate colleges in theUS. While faculty at UTG (and smaller colleges in the US) will struggle to compete with theR1's in the scholarship of discovery, the playing field can be leveled or even tipped to theiradvantage in the other areas. Faculty at many smaller US colleges and UTG will likely alwayshave greater teaching responsibilities and less access to costly research laboratories andresources (library, software, database access, support staff, technicians, etc.). This clearly tips thecompetitive balance toward the R1's in the scholarship of discovery. However in the scholarshipof teaching, an increased valuation of teaching should provide opportunity to raise visibility inthis area of scholarship. Evidence of this can be seen every summer at
