FIRST READING
FS 09-18/Ex. |
OUTSTANDING TEACHING, UNIVERSITY
SERVICE AND COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS, AMENDMENT OF |
Background: The following motion is brought by the
Executive Committee to facilitate debate and decision-making with regards to
the Faculty Senate's awards program. There seems to be a clear consensus in the
Senate that the current Senate awards, administered at the college level,
should be retained and so that specific point is not up for debate or vote at
this time. That leaves the question of whether or not to create an additional
set of awards at the campus level (with the exact process to be determined by
FPC*) drawn from the recipients of the college level awards. The following
motion has been crafted specifically to address that remaining question and is
subject to amendment if Senators feel they would like such an award structure
in one or two, but not all three of the specific categories. Rejection of the
motion simply results in retaining the current awards structure at the college
level. Please note that the motion is not endorsed by the Executive Committee
other than as a means for reaching a decision.
Regardless of the outcome, FPC will further examine the
process to facilitate ease of submission (as they were originally charged). If
campus level awards are adopted in one or more categories, the goal will be to
have the same submission package used at both levels (college and campus) to
avoid re-submission or re-formatting of materials.
In
addition to the existing Faculty Senate awards for Outstanding Teaching,
University Service, and Community Service, administered at the college level, the
recipients of those awards shall also be considered for a campus level award in
the respective category.
