FACULTY INTRQDUCT Faculty Surveys This year, in an attempt to provide further reading and interest in the faculty section, surveys were circulated among all of the faculty members asking the questions listed below. A letter was then sent to those faculty members who re- sponded to the survey asking them to provide further informa- tion about themselves. No restrictions were placed on what the faculty members could submit. On the folowing pages, topics like vacations the members have taken, to publica- tions they've written, to languages they speak are dis- cussed. The purpose is to provide some insight into some of the professors at Gannon. Questions asked on the Faculty Survey: 1. Name 2. Department 3. Subjects taught 4. Favorite Book and or Author 5. Interesting or favorite The objectives of Gannon University de- rive from certain fundamental principles based upon its parti cular philosophy and its belief concerning the nature of man and of reality. Furthermore, as a Universi- ty under Catholic auspices, Gannon's academic programs find additional speci- fication because of a theological position that is fundamental to its educational goals and process. It is imperative that, as a community, the faculty and adminis- tration of the University accept these ba- sic principles: 1. That every man is endowed with the dignity of a person having an intellect and free will. 2. That man's intellect strives for the truth and that truth is attainable. 3. That man's will is free and that great- er and more authenic knowledge brings greater and more authenic freedom. 4. That man has been endowed with the dignity of supernatural life and a su- pernatural destiny, and that there is truth that is the proper object of faith. 5. That man's knowledge, in addition to the impirical, the inductive and the intuitive, includes knowledge of a su- pernatural reality which is knowable and known. 6. That truth is one; that there is no con- flict between the truth of faith and the truth of reason as arrived at through various disciplines; that faith and rea- son give harmonious witness to the unity of all truth. 7. That man has an ultimate goal, a des- tiny beyond the confines of this life, and that true education seeks the for- mation of the human person with re- spect to this ultimate goal.
