Potential Charge to Faculty Affairs and Personnel Committee: Rudy Bell, writing as President of Rutgers
AAUP, in a letter dated June 1, 2005, requests that the University
Senate
consider recommending:
1. The abolition of University
Regulation
Section 3.3.14.
(On "Term Appointments.")
2. The granting to
non-tenure track faculty of
full and appropriate governance rights in the University Senate and
that
departments and units fully implement existing regulations that grant
governance rights at the unit and departmental levels.
3. Full access to
internal Rutgers
grants for research and curricular development for non-tenure track
faculty.
[Dr. Bell’s
correspondence was received as hardcopy only on June 2 by the Senate
office. It was not available in
electronic format at the time this agenda was distributed.
Dr. Bell’s letter and supporting documents
will be available at the Executive Committee meeting in hardcopy.]
Potential Charge to Faculty Affairs and Personnel Committee: Karen Thompson, of the Rutgers AAUP, asks
that the Senate charge a standing committee with reviewing a potential
faculty
identity security issue, which she describes as follows:
“Pay stubs are often placed in department
mailboxes after direct deposit of checks.
These stubs contain personal information (name, address, social
security
number, bank routing number, etc.) that may make identity theft
possible. Just as we were warned to take
care not to
make student social security numbers publicly available, it seems that
departments should take alternate steps to avoid stubs languishing in
mailboxes.”

board’s June 9, 2005 meeting.
