  1. FA-006-089Review and Clarification of Appendix 15A

  2. Purpose • Clarify the procedures listed in Appendix 15A regarding role of a referee to review a department chair at the request of the faculty.

  3. Issues • 25% or two (whichever is greater) faculty members of an academic department can request appointment of a “referee” by the EC to review the performance of the Department Chair. • The referee: • Convenes a department meeting • Discusses chair performance with faculty • Conducts a secret ballot to determine if recommendation for removal should be forwarded • Prepares a report

  4. Issues Continued • The process to be followed by the referee is not clear and has caused dissatisfaction. • The FA also looked at the process followed for appointment of interim department chairs.

  5. Resources • All faculty • Deans • Associate Deans

  6. Recommended Changes • All provisions for appointment of a ”referee” be deleted • 30% or three (whichever is greater) may request a vote of confidence • EC follows the procedure approved by the senate through an authorizing senate resolution to conduct a confidential vote of confidence • EC reports the results to The Provost and the Dean • Academic Affairs conducts department chair evaluations and inform the chairs when their term of appointment expires.

  7. Recommended Changes(Interim Appointment) • Interim chair shall be a faculty member of the department • The Dean in consultation with the department appoints a chair from outside the department when no faculty member of the department is willing to serve.
