Made recommended changes
and brought back to APAFT committee.
Document is ready to forward.
College of Social
& Behavioral Sciences Post-Tenure Document
DISCUSSION
Concerns on language
referring to another policy. Don’t
create new language when a policy that outlines them already exists.
The document seems to be vague.
Committee discussed whether the document is strong enough to meet the
tenure requirements. Members thought
that the language met the requirements through the PPM 8-11.
Motion to move the
College of Education Post-Tenure Document and College of Social & Behavioral
Sciences Post-Tenure Document forward to the Faculty Senate by Ed Hahn.

OUTCOME Unanimous
College of Applied
Science and Technology Tenure & Post-Tenure Document

Brought forward as
one document. APAFT discussed the
document in two sections and voted on each separate.
The college is diverse and gives each department flexibility to adapt it
to their specific needs. Some
editorial changes need to be looked at.
Document needs to be further looked at by Executive Committee.
Committee recommended to postpone the
COAST Tenure & Post-Tenure to look at more carefully by the Executive Committee.
Possible problem in the area of definition of minimum degrees.
Motion to postpone the
COAST Tenure & Post-Tenure Document to the next Agenda Setting meeting January
16 so that the Executive Committee can review the document closer and note any
concerns about the document by John Armstrong.
