Issues/Proposed
Charges:
Charge
Issued to Faculty and Personnel Affairs Committee: As discussed
at the previous Executive Committee meeting, the following charge has
been issued to the Faculty and Personnel Affairs Committee:
A-0812B Evaluation of
Administrators,
Part II: Evaluation of Upper Administrators:
Given the potential joint Rutgers-UMDNJ
integration and changes in administrative structure, reconsider the
process
recommended by the University Senate in 2012 for evaluation of upper
administrators, including the University President, Chancellors, and
the
Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs. Respond to the
Senate
Executive Committee by April 2013.
Proposed Charge on Practice of
Dropping Students from Rosters for Non-Payment of Term Bills, submitted
by Robert Boikess: I
would like us to
charge a committee to look into our practice of removing students from
the roster
if they don't pay their bills on time and charge the committee with
making
recommendations for change if they think change is warranted. Here
is part of
what I wrote to Bruce Fehn on the topic. The
response I received from his office
suggested that the matter is more complicated than I realize.
Proposed Charge on Definition of
"Faculty," submitted by Robert Boikess: Investigate
how and
if the University's Policies,
Procedures, and Regulations define a "faculty member."
