[Faculty] College policy file

[Yusuf Ozturk]

Esteemed members of COE Faculty,



I send you  the message below last week  and asked you to consider  changes
to certain sections of the College policy file and consider for approval.
 Today  we reviewed the changes requested to bring our policy file in
compliance with the university policy file.  We could not take a vote since
we did not have a quorum in the meeting.  The faculty attending the meeting
suggested to vote by email and get approval of the faculty through email to
the changes to the College policy file.  I will appreciate if you spend a
few minutes to read the changes ( the changes are tracked in the document)
and if you agree with all the changes send me a message with APPROVE in the
subject line. If you have any questions please send me your questions and
consider replying to all.



I would like to collect the votes and finalize the changes t the policy
document before Friday.  I will appreciate if you can consider this as a
priority on your list. The new policy file with its approved form has to be
in RTP files of  faculty applying for tenure and promotion.



Best Regards

Yusuf Ozturk



I am the parliamentarian  for COE and I chair the college policy council.
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
