Subject: FRPR Report
Abbreviated
Report - FRPR 2003-2004
Charge
#2 One inquiry
was initiated in May. FRPR chair and Senex Chair met with the individual, and it was decided to
refer the matter to Tenure and Related Problems for a hearing.
Charge #6
- Non-Tenure Track Faculty
FRPR met this charge by being closely
involved in the Provost's plan to redefine the Lecturer category of
instructional responsibilit. We met with Sandra Gautt
to elicit responses to our questions, and with chairs of the English and Math
departments to gain their evaluation.
After much deliberation, the Committee submitted reports to FacEx in December and March supporting the new definitions, but
added a number of questions and concerns.(Reports available in governance
office). Assuming the new policy is
instituted, FRPR recommends that it be given the charge of monitoring its
implementation. FRPR is still attempting
to obtain hiring records of other non-tenure track appointments, and recommends
that this charge be continued in 2004-05.
Charge #7 - Program
Restructuring
FRPR received O & A recommendation
regarding FRPR's original proposal in April. FRPR agreed in principle with the O &A
recommendation, with some reservations.
Council has now approved a revision to FSRR that puts these recommendations
into effect.
Charge #8 Review of
Chairpersons
FRPR held a discussion with AD Strikwerda re: his suggestions to modify the review of
Chairpersons and proposed potential modifications to USRR Article X. ( Report available in Governace
office). During the same time span FacEx discussed the review of deans and chairpersons with
the Provost. Based on their deliberations,our input, and discussions with the Provost, FacEx developed a series of changes to Article X that were
eventually approved by the Faculty Senate.
Charge
#9 Phased Retirements
FRPR did receive from the Provost's office
a listing of recent phased retirements by unit, but has not yet received
information relative to hirings to replace phased
retirement. Information was requested in
December. FRPR recommends that this
issue be carried over to 2003-2004.
