This study conducted inductive analyses on faculty motivations,barriers, and strategies for service-learning (SL) adoption in a major public researchuniversity in the Southeast United States. Data found faculty members with prior SLexperience were often motivated by intrinsic personal values, yet external barriers needto be addressed to increase morale. An overwhelming lack of recognition and rewards wasperceived, despite the institutional policy set to formally recognize SL. Thepolicy–practice gap and issues compounding the implementation in a research institutioncontext were highlighted. Results provide insights to better institutionalize policy andsupport to encourage faculty SL adoption
