FIRST READING

FS 01-63/Ex. UNIVERSITY ARTP DOCUMENT - INCLUSION OF ADVISING

[WILLIAM DILLON]

Background:  The three recommended changes to the University ARTP policy (specifically section 5.05, titled "Criteria for Retention, Tenure, and Promotion") are to explicitly include advising in the basis of evaluation.

The first change is to Section 5.05.E, titled "Competent Teaching Performance". This section has two subsections, one on evidence that must be included and one on evidence that may be included. The recommended change adds a section to what may be included, namely, "submissions … of the faculty member's student advising activities", followed by a list of some examples.

The second change is to Section 5.05 F, titled "Scholarly and Creative Achievements". An additional item is added to the list of evidence that may be included, namely, "a statement describing the faculty member's guidance of students who are contributing to the faculty member's project(s)."

The third change is to Section 5.05.H, titled "Contributions to the Institution". The change makes specific reference to "advising of student organizations" as an example of the faculty member's contribution to the Department and to the College in the area of student advising. In the case of University contribution, "advising of student clubs and activities" is added as an example in the area of student advising.

These recommendations were prepared and approved by the University ARTP Committee and the Executive Committee.

The Faculty Senate recommends amending the University ARTP Document as shown in Faculty Senate Agenda October 18, 2001 Attachment E.
