Proposed Charge to Faculty and
Personnel Affairs Committee (FPAC) on Stipend or
Course Release Payment for PTL Senators - Submitted by Karen
Thompson
Proposed Charge: Consider the role of
PTLs in shared governance at Rutgers, investigating policies at other
Big Ten institutions as well as the unique circumstances at Rutgers
University, and make recommendations to allow for adequate
participation with appropriate incentives.
Rationale: Despite PTLs being responsible for such a large portion of
the instruction at Rutgers and therefore given the importance of their
having a meaningful role in shared governance, compensation on a
per-course or piecework basis makes it unlikely that PTLs will be able
or willing to spend time with governance. Governance participation for
full-time faculty may be a consideration for promotion, may generate
course release, or may otherwise provide incentive/compensation. There
are no such provisions for PTLs.
Proposed
Charge to Instruction, Curricula and Advising Committee (ICAC) on

Rationale - Submitted by Robert Boikess

the
campuses of Rutgers and make recommendations to the Administration for
improvements that also protect the rights and interests of faculty and
students.
