FAPC Report

Senate Meeting 8/25/08

Presented by Lee Woodham Digiovanni, Chair

 

On August 22, the Faculty Affairs Policy Committee met and discussed the following:

á         Faculty Bylaws – a work group consisting of Mike Rose, Todd Shiver, and Craig Turner submitted a draft of proposed Faculty Bylaws changes to the group. The committee was charged with taking the draft of the Faculty Bylaw revisions to their constituents for review and comments. The committee will further discuss the proposed revisions at its next meeting. The hope is to have the proposed bylaw changes brought for faculty vote by the Spring Faculty meeting.

á         Faculty Awards – The faculty awards working group was reformed and will include the original two members as well as Bob Haney and at least one additional member.

á         Work load - The committee discussed current institutional policy on instructional load and work load. Existing recommendations regarding instructional load were reviewed.
