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

[mgupta]

Dear Yusuf,
      The draft document you sent appears to have been prepared in a 
hurry, and as such is not very well presented.  For example,
(i) the footnote on p. 1 is not a well-written, grammatically correct 
sentence.
(ii) The second sentence of Sec. 5.3(b) appears to duplicate what 
Section 5.3(e) states.
  etc.
      I suggest that the document be carefully prepared before 
seeking faculty approval.
