FIRST READING

Background:  The Board of Trustees Policy for the Selection of Presidents calls for an Advisory Committee to the Trustees Committee for the Selection of the President (ACTCSP).  The ACTCSP "shall consist of the chair of the academic senate of the campus, two faculty representatives elected by the campus faculty, . . ."

Motion:    The Faculty Senate adopts the procedure outlined in Attachment J for nominating and electing faculty representatives for the Advisory Committee to the Trustees Committee for the Selection of the President.

Background:  In his memo of September 4, 2002, President Gerth approved the amendment to the University ARTP document forwarded by the Executive Committee on behalf of the Senate over the summer.  However, he asked the Senate to reconsider the language allowing probationary faculty to decline without prejudice participation in search committees for probationary faculty.  His memo is attached.

The Executive Committee has placed this item on the agenda at the request of President Gerth and does so without recommendation.  The amendment is as follows:

6.06.B.1

"Recommendations regarding probationary appointments shall originate at the department or equivalent unit. Probationary appointment procedures shall include the following:" (M.O.U. 12.21)

"Each department or equivalent unit shall elect a peer review committee of tenured employees for the purpose of reviewing and recommending individuals for probationary appointments. At the discretion of the president and upon request of the department these peer review committees may also include probationary employees." (M.O.U. 12.22.a)  Probationary faculty may decline without prejudice to participate in any search leading to the appointment of probationary faculty.  Note: On this campus, the President has approved the inclusion of probationary faculty on the elected peer review committee or committees of any department or equivalent unit that chooses to request it.
