MINUTES OF THE FACULTY EVALUATION AND COMPENSATION

AD HOC COMMITTEE

MEETING DATE:  MAY 2, 2003

ORDER OF BUSINESS:

In a meeting of the full committee the following items were discussed:

• The role of the Colleges in the final product, especially the need to keep the college deans in the progression loop.
• It was suggested that the Colleges discuss the FECC actions at the beginning of each semester.
• To have an open meeting with the faculty at the start of the Fall 2003 semester.
• The current chair to put together a summary statement for the committee members.
• The fact that all documents have not been returned to the FECC by all Colleges.
• The addition of supervision of students in creative work to the scholarship category.  So thought that the decision of where to place this item be left as a departmental decision.
• Noted that it was discussed at the most recent Dean’s meeting that the acceptations to the final document be made by individual Deans.
• The committee expressed concern over the percentage allocated to faculty workload in the document (100%) vis-à-vis the committee document (25-90%).
• Committee addressed the concern over sabbatical leaves.
• The committee will address the concerns brought forward and reconcile the workload document with the faculty role document.
• The committee will address the identification of the sources for the components used in the matrix model of Areola.
• A question was raised about the role of advising.  The committee discussed adding advising under teaching.
• Set a goal of completing the faculty student evaluation form by the end of the fall 2003 semester.
