Faculty has been working very hard this year on a number of projects, including:
Calendar revision
Promotion and Tenure Policy
Academic Planning Process
The task forces working on the Promotion and Tenure Policy and the Academic Planning Process have both submitted their reports to Senate at this meeting. The Academic Planning Task Force's report was only an interim report. They will be submitting their final report to Senate and the Provost in early 2011. The Promotion and Tenure Task Force's report is the final report. Senate will examine that report in a Special Executive Session to be held the week of January 3. That meeting will be announced to the faculty on Thursday, December 23.
At the Special Executive Session, Senate will consider the report and discuss implementation with representatives of the Institutional Promotion and Tenure Committee. Senate will also discuss a plan to share details of the proposed policy with faculty at large.
University Leadership Council will finalize the implementation plan for the Calendar Project at its meeting on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 1:00 PM at the Chicago Campus board room.
Senate also heard a report from Faculty Welfare and Compensation Committee. FWCC reps met with the respective colleges last week, and are gathering faculty input, including reactions to proposed increases in load and faculty-generated ideas on ways NLU can reduce expenses in next year's budget. FWCC will submit a complete written report to Senate for its January 2011 meeting.
The complete Senate Highlights will publish to the Faculty Listserv on Monday, January 3, 2011. The next regular meeting of the Faculty Senate will be on January 19, 2011, at 11 am at the Chicago campus.
