approval.

 

2.     Business

A.      Voted on the Proposal for the Performance Review Policy

Action: 10-0-1 of those present.  Beard's tabulated votes including the e-mail

votes.  Motion Carried.

B.      Discussion of continuing-non-tenure-tract terminology, ie; adjunct: part to full time;

paid or non-paid; clinical, teaching or research, with or without attached rank; VS

terminology: visiting, instructor, affiliate, assistant, or clinical faculty. 

a.                      It was suggested that a modifier could be placed with designations already

existing at ISU, for ex., “on going adjunct professor”, or “continuing”

adjunct professor.”

b.                      Another suggestion was the use of the bare “instructor” designation with the

prefix “teaching” added to assistant, associate, and full professor.

c.                      Expectation of a continued or ongoing relationship, in contrast to permanent

was questioned, as well as the appropriate termination procedure.

d.                      We need to develop a clear definition of continuing non-tenure tract vs.

visiting v. part time. Does this category require a budget line item?

e.                      Resources to be reviewed by committee members for further study. 

Clarification or confusion to be found in the Faculty and Staff Handbook on

pp 4.3.1 through 4.3.6 and in Part 4, IV.c.3A.

f.                       It was decided that Alice Ronald would make a presentation at the next

FPPC meeting.

 

3.     Meeting adjourned at 1600 hours.
