Changes Approved for Faculty Manual

Faculty recently approved a number of changes to the faculty manual. The changes:

-- Add language that requires the administration to inform the FEC of any changes that it makes in the faculty manual;

-- Limit appointments to liaison committee for athletics, campus facilities and library to staggered three-year terms;

-- Permit the FRB may form subcommittees as AAC does;

-- Add a legislative flowchart for FRB following the model of AAC's Flowchart;

-- Grant faculty status to the director of Schaffer Library;

-- Require the Faculty Appeals Committee to consult the chair of the Faculty Executive Committee and the Vice President for Academic Affairs about questions of FAC procedure;

-- Clarify what happens in the event of a faculty override of a presidential veto. (It requires a two-thirds vote of faculty in residence; chair of the FEC is to forward the amendment to the trustees.); and

-- Increase staff representation to two on the Planning and Priorities committee.
