Subject: Faculty Awards Document - feedback requested by March 1, 2010
Thread-Topic: Faculty Awards Document - feedback requested by March 1, 2010

Dear University Senate,

After much discussion, consultation, and consideration, the Faculty Affairs Policy Committee has come to the conclusion that the Faculty Awards document we have been working on falls more in the category of procedure, rather than policy, and that our role regarding them is advisory rather than one that calls for a motion or a vote.

FAPC feels that the latest revised document addresses concerns that were brought up during discussion about awards prior to and during the November Senate Meeting and has endorsed the attached document regarding Faculty Awards. 

Rather than waiting to inform you about this decision at the next Senate Meeting and have a rushed turn around time, FAPC is submitting our endorsed document (attached to this email)  to the University Senate now for feedback from you and your constituents.   Additional information regarding changes that have been made to this document can be found in FAPC agendas located on the Senate website:  http://info.gcsu.edu/intranet/univ_senate/SCs2009-2010/FAPC/

These revisions would be in effect beginning the 2010-2011 academic year. 

Any feedback you have should be submitted to me by March 1, 2010 for consideration at the next FAPC meeting.  After that meeting, the Faculty Awards Document will be routed to the Provost and off FAPC's docket.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me directly.

Sincerely,
Lee Digiovanni
Chair of the Faculty Affairs Policy Committee
