Progressive U's Faculty, made up exclusively of volunteers, does most of the work running the site. There are several jobs done by the faculty members, both on the main site and behind the scenes.
The faculty are distinct from other members on the site in that they are required to be active, and are not permitted to participate in the scholarship contest.
The faculty is divided into several teams, each of which has different responsibilities.
The teams have the following responsibilities:
Editorial Team: Reviews and promotes posts, explains good blogging and journalism practices, provides guidelines for rating posts and making the most out of your writing, etc.
Members Services Team: Provides support and encouragement to users, answers question, enforces terms of use, etc. Additionally, oversees the various incentives in the Progressive U Incentives Program.
Public Relations and Communications Team: Promotes ProgressiveU to the "rest of the world," writes press releases, seeks out partnerships with other sites, etc.
Technical Support and Product Management Team: Deals with the more technical aspects of the site, including working out bugs that appear in the site. Additionally, helps to develop new features or improve on existing features.
News Team: Manages news feeds and highlight news sources that may be of interest to users.
Featured Bloggers Team: Reviews Featured Blogger nominees, selects those to be featured, writes up pages on each new featured blogger, etc.
