2. Determine the score for each category for which a faculty member applies;
3. For each category, separate and independent of each other, determine the total number of FEA units by adding up the scores for each person who applied for a FEA in that category;
4. To determine the Unit Dollar Value, divide the total score into the merit amount for that category;
5. To determine the merit amount for a person in a particular category, multiply the score times the Unit Dollar Value;
6. The total FEA for a person is the sum of each FEA in each category for that person; and, finally
7. Apply this system for each of the categories, separately.

• U = Total FEA designated for a category
• A = FEA for a particular category
• D = Unit Dollar Value for a category
• TS = Total of all scores in a particular category
• S = Score for a particular category
• T = Total Faculty Excellence Award

TS = S₁ + S₂ + S₃…+³§_n
D = U/TS
A = S x D
T = A₁ + A₂+ A₃
