INFORMATION ITEM #3-A Memorandum To Provost Kline Regarding Department Reorganization Procedures Submitted By The Executive Committee
MEMORANDUM
June 20, 2002
| To: | David Kline, Provost & Vice President |
| From: | Cheryl Frohlich, Faculty Association Vice-President / Executive
Committee Chair Kathleen Cohen, Faculty Association President |
| Re: | Department Reorganization Procedures |
| The Executive Committee requested at
the April meeting that the procedures for requesting faculty approval
on reorganization of administrative units be clarified for the Academic
Affairs Office. Administrative Unit Reorganization Approval Procedures: |
|
|
1.
|
Once the affected unit's faculty have met and
decided upon a desired course of action, this request is to be submitted
to the Executive Committee through the Vice-President of the Faculty
Association prior to any further action being taken by the unit
involved.
|
|
2.
|
The Vice-President, as Chair of the Executive Committee, will present the request to the Committee for its recommendation. |
|
3.
|
The Executive Committee may recommend (1) sending the request to the appropriate Faculty Association committee for further consideration, or (2) considering the proposal within the Executive Committee. In addition, the Executive Committee may, at its discretion, send the proposal to other college/division/department curriculum committees it judges to be most directly affected for comments. |
|
4.
|
After receiving comments from the committees, the Executive Committee will schedule a public hearing on the proposal. This step is to ensure all constituencies, including students, have a chance to comment on the proposal. |
|
5.
|
After the open hearing, the Executive Committee will submit the proposal to the Faculty Association for a vote. |
| I hope this memo clarifies the procedures that are involved in a unit's reorganization. Attached is the information item adopted on March 24, 1987 updated with the correction of committee names and any article references from the current Faculty Association Bylaws. Faculty Association's approval is necessary prior to taking any action on the reorganization of the unit. | |
