Senate Bill 14-15-09
| Bill ID: | 14-15-09 |
| Name: | UM Guidelines for Appointment, Evaluation, and Promotion of Professional Track Faculty |
| Proposed: | 10/07/2014 |
| Sponsor: | Senate Executive Committee (SEC) |
| Proposal: | The Faculty Affairs Committee's (FAC) framework for professional track faculty appointments was approved by the Chancellor and needs to be implemented at UMD. The next step in this process is to create overarching campus-wide guidelines that will be used as a baseline for departments/units to develop their new appointment and promotion system. The Senate Executive Committee (SEC) requests that the Faculty Affairs Committee (FAC) review the framework and develop guidelines for appointment, evaluation, and promotion of professional track faculty. These guidelines should define minimum requirements but also allow units flexibility to develop specific appointment, evaluation, and promotion criteria relevant to each discipline. |
