FPPC Minutes

January 28, 2005, 2:00

Faculty Senate Meeting Room, Red Hill Building, rm 128

(Approved by FPPC at its February 18, 2005 meeting)

 

Present: Adamcik, Dunzik-Gouger, Gonzol, Hasenpflug, Hatzenbuehler, Ottaway, Pearson,

               Rhodes (Chair), and Smith

Absent: Anderson (excused), Murdock (excused) and Shaw (excused)

 

I.  Business:

 

1.      Revise ISU workload policy to insure greater flexibility for time-specific, semi-

      specialization in scholarship/research/creative activities, teaching or service.         

      The only written workload policies are from the colleges of Engineering and Business. 

      Discussion:  faculty life-cycles and expected workloads.  A “portfolio” approach may

          work best.  Upon closer examination, there seems to be enough generality in the written

          policies and it was hoped that the other colleges would provide a written document soon.

      Rhodes will forward proposed changes to council members. 

      Adamcik will read through the accreditation report for specific recommendations. 

   

2.      Establish rank of Distinguished Professor – item was not taken off of the table.

 

3.      The next meeting will be held on Friday, February 18 at 3:00. 

 

II.  Adjourn
