“For fiscal year 2020-21, the university allocated $900,000 from the dudley chambers trust distributions to contribute $100,000 towards the salary of each of nine members of the faculty. Four of these faculty members have appointments in the school of engineering (chambers fellows) and five have appointments in the school of humanities and sciences (chambers scholars). With one exception, each of the chambers fellows and scholars is an associate professor.”

“None of the chambers fellows and scholars currently holds an endowed chair, so the support provided by the dudley chambers trust is especially valuable for these professors. Stanford university benefits greatly from the teaching and research work performed by the chambers fellows and scholars.”

“Teaching responsibilities for the nine professors vary but, as an example, the chambers scholars in the school of engineering taught a total of 292 students in academic year 2020-21; an average of 73 students per faculty member. The chambers fellows in h&s taught a total of 367 students in academic year 2020-21; an average of 73 per faculty member.”

“The frequency of scholarly publications also varies, but the chambers fellows and scholars published a total of 61 scholarly papers in 2020-21. In addition to publishing, research, lecturing, and related teaching activities, the nine professors are actively engaged in mentoring the next generation of academic researchers and teachers. All of the chambers fellows and scholars serve in varying capacities.”

“Scholarships - the terms of the dudley chambers trust provide that one-third of distributions be used to furnish one or more whole or partial scholarships to students specializing in one or more areas of engineering technology and the natural sciences.”

“Stanford university chooses to focus the funding designated for scholarships on its national science foundation fellows (nsf). For fiscal year 2020-21, the university allocated $800,000 from the dudley chambers trust distributions to provide fellowships that support 146 nsf fellows in engineering technology and natural science disciplines.”

“The dudley chamber trusts' funds provide about 11 percent of funding for 32 percent of nsfs on tenure for 2020-21. The $5,500 award per nsf fellow contributes toeward each fellow's tuition. Average tuition was $48,620 for 2020-21, of wich the nsf provides $12,000 per year.”

“The terms of the dudley chambers trust provide that one-third of distributions be used to pay for expenses incurred by stanford for education or research in one or more areas of engineering technology and the natural sciences, for purposes other than salary payments to faculty members and scholarships.”

“In 2020-21, $534,000 of the distribution from the dudley chambers trust was allocated to the office of the vice provost for teaching and learning, which used these funds to provide enhanced classroom technology and staff support needed to enable the professors and students to do their best work.”

“Fully technologically outfitted linked classrooms allow a more seamless world between the lab and the classroom, allowing for collaborative work that supports breakthroughs. Substantial gifts designated specifically for technology and staff support that enhances the classroom experience are not common at research universities. Providing funding for this much-needed infrastructure is both visionary and highly valued.”
