Dear Colleagues:
=20
I received some questions concerning yesterday's posting about
the Korean faculty members Fulbright is seeking to send to the
U.S. as lecturers in 1999-2000.  The main question was one of
funding and the obligations of the receiving university.
=20
The principle is that the two lecturers are fully funded by Fulbright.
We provide transportation, a stipend, a dependents' allowance if
applicable, etc.  Of course we welcome shared support if the
institution has funding (eg. at the adjunct level for the courses
being taught), but we do not require it or actively seek it.  Our
purpose is to help the development of Korean studies in the U.S.,
a field which I think is seldom overfunded.  The period of support
is one academic year (usually nine months.)
=20
The obligation of the receiving U.S. university would be to have
the visiting Korean Fulbright lecturer teach one or two courses
per semester or term, to provide normal administrative support
such as ID cards, library access, assistance with arranging
appropriate housing (at the grantee's expense), and (presumably)=20
office space.  As the lecturers are actually lecturer/researchers,
it would be useful if there were at least opportunities for research
and for discussions with colleagues, though the lecturers are
told that they cannot expect to do research at a location away
from their teaching assignments during the term.
=20
This year we have two researchers in the U.S. a political scientist
at Iowa State and a social welfare professor at Washington U. in
St. Louis.  Both, however, ended up working out their own=20
placements when we were working on this last year, which is why
I'm contacting the group now.
=20
Is there anything I've left out?
