Chapter Meeting
Minutes
Housekeeping
1. Chapter
Pres. T. Keene called meeting to order at
2.
Membership Report (L. Lands): New
report no yet in from the national office. We had 53 last spring. Recruitment “scholarships” discussed; policy
to be worked up.
3. Treasurer’s
Report: $734.00 balance (presumably).
Updates
4. Administrative
Review (L. Lands): Document is done
basically. We need to get a more
concrete response. Dr. Black, some deans
some chairs are resisting creating a role for the CFCs and DFCs
in feedback to evaluations. People are calling for Open Records requests if
necessary.
5. College & Department Governance (CFC
& DFC): Another informal meeting
like last year’s would be good.
6. NCAA self-study: Peer review team coming end of October. Everything is looking good.
7. Section 3 & 5 Revisions (Workload and
T&P): Get this information (re
lecturers’ review and senior lecturer status) to lecturers.
How can we further
enlarge scholarship definitions and how can we equate service to
scholarship? Needs further thought,
discussion. AAUP should publish “best
practices” from other departments. Stress having departments publish (post) their guidelines. (The Faculty Senate should also get on
this—perhaps a resolution would be in order.)
A lot of service is
academic leadership.
Discussion
8. New membership scholarships: Done.
9. Rewarding Service and broadly-defined
scholarship: See above.
10. Travel funding: Scholarship requirements up; travel funding
down.
Respectfully
submitted,
Ulf Zimmermann,
Secretary
