V.        Special Business of the Day

 

Senate document 00-04 on Tenure Procedures.  For Discussion
The revisions to the document were editorial and did not change the primary content of the document.  The document provides greater flexibility in the event of future School or Department structure changes.
Interim Vice Chancellor Gealt questioned whether the document addressed the issue of joint appointments.  Professor Robinson commented that this document does not, but that perhaps the School procedures would address the issue of tenure in cases of joint appointments.  Any additional issues or questions regarding the procedure document should be referred to the Faculty Affairs Committee.
A motion to move the document to action was made by Professor Robinson.  Seconded by Professor Darayseh.
Document passed.

A separate document will be forthcoming which will address the notification of the outcome of Promotion or Tenure.  The document will add clarity and provide complete notification at all levels.
