- Report from WCSA
- Report from Budget and Salary Committee
- Report from Faculty Council
- Motion: To suspend the Faculty Handbook for one year, with respect to the mandated triennial review of the handbook.
Background: Faculty Council is responsible for reviewing the Faculty Handbook
once every three years. The triennial review is specified in our list of
responsibilities (1.4.2.4.1), and referred to again in the section concerning
changes to the handbook (1.5.1.1). The handbook is currently due for revision.
Rationale: This year may bring a number of changes to the handbook as a result
of the work of the Personnel Committee (Guidelines and Best Practices); the
work of Faculty Council (Committee Audit); and following the transition from
a Provost to a CAO/Dean of the Faculty administrative structure. Reviewing the
handbook for consistency and correctness would be more productive after these
other discussions, transitions, and handbook changes are completed.
