[Faculty] IMPORTANT - CoE Bylaws for RTP/Personnel Committe - DUE WED 9/10

[Yusuf Ozturk]

Askhan, 

**  "For reappointment and tenure consideration, committee members must be tenured faculty employees of any rank"  refers to faculty members who are considered for tenure and promotion 

** "... a departmental representative who shall be a full time tenured faculty member with the rank of full professor..."  refers to faculty members who are members of the college RTP committee.  College RTP committee is formed with only full professors. 

There is no conflict  I think. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions. 

Thanks a lot
Yusuf

However, section 2.1-B.1 says "... a departmental representative who shall be a full time tenured faculty member with the rank of full professor...".

Last year, Dean's office  have been notified that certain sections of the COE  policy file and bylaws are contradicting with University policy file.  Unfortunately we failed to address the required changes on time last year due to changes in the office.  Dr. Mehrabadi's office worked with Edith Benkov to address  the problem and modified the sections of the bylaws that pertain to the RTP/Personnel committee.    The suggested changes  to the RTP/Personnel committee to bring it to compliance with the university policy  have been  reviewed   and approved by Edith Benkov,  It has been reviewed by the college executive committee and it has been reviewed and approved by college policy council.

>> According to college policy file, any amendment to the college policy file should be presented to faculty by the college policy council in a college meeting for discussions and approval.   Unfortunately the current college policy file is out of compliance with the university policy and we have been given a deadline of September 10 (today) to bring it to compliance. We have been working very hard to address this issue and meet the deadline. 
>> 
>> I would like to ask your support to review the suggested changes to the college policy file offline and voice your concerns  via email to me.  If you kindly keep your responses addressed to me only we will avoid an explosion of emails.  If you do not have any concerns regarding the changes,  I will appreciate if you can vote via email sending me an "approved" message by the end of the day TODAY.

>> I know it is  a very short deadline but unfortunately this was an task  that had to be completed last year and faculty affairs gave us a deadline of today to bring the policy file in compliance with the university policy file.  I apologize for rushing this matter to your votes on such a short notice and appreciate your support in getting this change approved.
