The inputs from the Executive Council were as follows: Members acknowledged that some of the recommendations were significant; for example, the all-college vote on professional responsibility for tenure and promotion applications, consistency and transparency among units, and minimizing discrepancies between actual practice and policies outlined in the faculty handbook. There was a suggestion to standardize the requirement of a letter from the convening group member across units and identify situations that can involve a conflict of interest. Members perceived a greater need to refer candidates applying for reappointment, tenure, and promotion to the faculty handbook and ensure that the policies therein are interpreted correctly and uniformly. Members discussed the need for detailed procedures for evaluation of scholarship both traditional and non-traditional and the investigation of current practices for disciplinary, non-disciplinary, and outside reviewer evaluations of scholarly contributions. Members pointed out that the IPP Preliminary report made no mention of the relative importance of the criteria involved in reappointment, tenure, and promotion. Members pointed out the need to have more uniformity among individuals and units when involving outside reviewers in personnel procedures. Members recommended that members of the unit personnel committees be appointed only by faculty from the unit and the selection process must be free of any influence by the Deans. The Dean can only act as a facilitator in order to initiate and complete the selection process and restrain from making suggestions to the faculty. Members had questions on some of the specific requirements included in the report. Action items: President Saiff will email to invite Judith Jeney to the next Executive Council meeting to discuss the Preliminary Report on IPP. 2) Discussion on the coordination with ARC Members agreed that a meeting with the Academic Review Committee members was necessary to understand the interface between the Executive council, Faculty Assembly, and the Academic Review Committee. Action item: President Saiff will invite members of Academic Review Committee to the Executive Council meeting. 3) Discussion on Professional Deans Councilor Morley cautioned the Executive Council on the issue of Professional Deans and its impact on the culture of 鶹 College. Further, he suggested that the Executive Council should discuss this topic in one of its meetings. 4) Discussion on the culture of the Faculty Assembly Members briefly discussed the culture of the Faculty Assembly and expressed opinions on who should be present at the Faculty Assembly. 5) Agenda for the meeting with Provost and President President Saiff mentioned that the items the Executive Council plans to discuss with President Mercer and Provost Barnett will be on the agenda for the next meeting. The Executive Council will meet next week on September 17 at 9:30 a.m. Minutes submitted by Madhu Govindaluri, September 12, 2008 /12 =   , Q R  ' . /   , J L + , vÿϻϻϯϧϟhF !h=hVhFh7h8h ]h}hGhh`h!(hx}hZhr<h-fhIhNdhz*h hh $L h'h $Lh h h $L h h :/7JK < =  5Z & FgdI & Fgd8 & F & Fgd!(gd $Ljq[{~PQRSVvw]^adv!S|~h $LhhGhhZhNdh g|hz*hVhFhIh8$h=hF !h8hys5Z[\QRw_`SC~gd $LgdVhFh^hgdI,1h/ =!"#$% b 2 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~PJ_HmH nH sH tH D`D NormalCJ_HaJmH nHsH tHDA D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k (No List PK![Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢Iw},-j4 wP-t#bΙ{UTU^hd}㨫)*1P' ^W0)T9<l#$yi};~@(Hu* Dנz/0ǰ $ X3aZ,D0j~3߶b~i>3\`?/[G\!-Rk.sԻ..a濭?PK!֧6 _rels/.relsj0 }Q%v/C/}(h"O = C?hv=Ʌ%[xp{۵_Pѣ<1H0ORBdJE4b$q_6LR7`0̞O,En7Lib/SeеPK!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xml M @}w7c(EbˮCAǠҟ7՛K Y, e.|,H,lxɴIsQ}#Ր ֵ+!,^$j=GW)E+& 8PK!Ptheme/theme/theme1.xmlYOo6w toc'vuر-MniP@I}úama[إ4:lЯGRX^6؊>$ !)O^rC$y@/yH*񄴽)޵߻UDb`}"qۋJחX^)I`nEp)liV[]1M<OP6r=zgbIguSebORD۫qu gZo~ٺlAplxpT0+[}`jzAV2Fi@qv֬5\|ʜ̭NleXdsjcs7f W+Ն7`g ȘJj|h(KD- dXiJ؇(x$( :;˹!
