Below are email conversations (with supporting documents attached)
regarding two main topics
ORP (also known as RRP) participants buy-in to TRS Legislative Summary
Nonrenewal Notification for Faculty with Lecturer and Senior Lecturer
Rank
These would have been the two main topics in Dr. Hudson's update had
he been able to join us on Friday.

>Dear Hugh,
>
>Pleasure speaking with you and thanks for all you have done on behalf
of
>University Faculty. I have attached several documents that I thought
>would be of interest to you.
>I have been reminding colleagues that during the next 10-30 years it is
>likely that the most important strategic planning issue will be dealing
>with RRP faculty that are unable to retire. As you know the real impact
>of the RRP will start next year with the damages logarithmically
>accruing from 2010 forward. We think than an "RRP Impact Statement"
>should be included with each program, paragraph or inference to any
>strategic planning measure (just a few considerations, building plans
>will need to include all handicapped parking with appropriate wheel
>chair access to buildings, labs and offices, stations for long-term
care
>professionals to come to work with senior RRP faculty that are unable
to
>retire, cost to University and Colleges associated with faculty that do
>not retire, because sick leave cannot be converted for RRP participants
>they will instead use their years of accumulated sick leave while
>receiving full salary with no money to support the teaching, service
and
>research missions that are not being attended by what will likely be
>chronically ill or dieing faculty, no turn-over in ~70% faculty for
>15-20 years longer than comparative TRS positions, etc, etc, etc, etc,
>etc, etc).
>
>Addttionally, as you have an opportunity to do so on AAUP, College or
>University committees, I believe we should initiate an effort to limit
>the post-tenure review process to 4.
>
>Justification,
>1. Someone who is tenured in their 5th, 6th or 7th year would receive
>their 4th post-tenure review in their 26th, 27th, or 28th year of
>service, respectively and should be planning to retire within the next
3
>to 4 years with 30 years of service. Thus, additional post-tenure
>reviews would be unnecessary.
>2. Post-tenure review is suppose to be completed with
>peers/contemporaries in your department (I currently have only 2) and
>seating a committee of qualified peers will be increasingly difficult
if
>not impossible after 26 plus years of service.
>
>Please let me know how we can assist you and the AAUP chapters at
sister
>institutions resolve the RRP castastrophe.

>Dear Hugh:

>base with you and let you know that Dr. Herbst asked me to follow up
>on your request that we revisit our policy on notice of non-renewal
>for lecturers and senior lecturers (Board Policy 803.04). I am happy
>to do so and look forward to working with you on this issue.

>It may take us a little longer than usual to get back to you as some
>of the key people in our Legal Affairs Office are out of the office
>for the next few weeks. I hope you will understand that we need
>their thoughts, as well as the input from other System Office
>leaders, on this issue. Of course, I would also like to get input
>from our campus leadership on possible implications from policy
>changes in this area. That process will take a little time. Should a
>policy change recommendation be forthcoming, the next available
>Board meeting is not until August, so we have some time to engage
>the relevant folks in this conversation.
>
>In the interim, if you have any questions or would like an update on
>how things are progressing, please feel free to contact me. My
