Dean Andy Newcomb called the meeting to order at 4:02 p.m. in the Brown-Alley Room of Weinstein Hall.
Julie Laskaris, representing the Tenure and Promotion Committee (T & P), presented for discussion a one page proposal from the Committee which had been circulated at the beginning of the meeting. Laskaris indicated that the proposal document called a “Proposal process for hiring in conjunction with granting tenure (drawn from the Business School’s model)” seeks to clarify how the T & P Committee proposes to handle the expedited “reviews for hiring of senior candidates with tenure” from other institutions and “reviews for candidates who have never received tenure” from another institution. After going over the T & P Committee’s proposal, she opened the floor for discussion.
Following a lengthy discussion by those present of the proposed processes and the T & P Committee’s responsibilities for reviewing these “expedited candidates for tenure,” Dean Newcomb suggested that he meet separately with the T & P Committee. The Dean and the T & P Committee will work together to develop an expanded and more detailed set of proposals for these special types of tenure candidates to present to the faculty at a later date. No objections were shown with the Dean’s suggestion.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:58 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Gwin, substituting for Gene Anderson
