At the June meeting there will be a first reading of a bylaws revision to remove the Promotion and Tenure Committee from the Faculty Association. This group agreed to remove the topic of P&T revisions from the list of continuing business because issues have been addressed in the UFF contract.

The committee debated how to proceed with the development of the policies and procedures for the new Graduate Teaching Award. After much discussion, the committee charged Ellie Scheirer and Jeanne Patterson with drafting the document, using the Undergraduate Teaching Award process as a template. After review by this committee, the new Graduate Dean, David Fenner, will look at the document for input. The goal is to have a document ready to present to the Faculty Association for the September 7 meeting, in order to award the money in 2006/07.

Dr. Imeh Ebong, Assistant Vice President for Research, asked the committee to look at a draft of the university’s new “Policy on Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks and other Intellectual Property.” The members had a copy of Article 25, Intellectual Property, of the UFF contract to compare with this draft. Chris Rasche volunteered to compose a response to Dr. Ebong expressing our concerns about the relationship between this draft and the UFF contract. Chris’s letter will first go to Pat, who will distribute it to this committee for review before sending it to Dr. Ebong, with a copy to Cheryl Frohlich. |
