The 51风流官网 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #143 on April 9, 2007:
MOTION:
=======The Faculty Senate moves to modify the "Guidelines for the Evaluation Process for Administrators" (Senate Meeting #115, 2003):
Group B Administrators:
In addition to being reviewed annually by his/her immediate Supervisor, "Group B" administrators are to undergo a 3-year comprehensive review. At a time designated by the Supervisor during the fall semester of the academic year of comprehensive review, the "Group B" administrator will submit a self-evaluation report to his/her Supervisor. The self-evaluation shall include: (1) comments on the annual performance evaluations; (2) a summary of his/her notable activities/accomplishments in the previous years; and (3) a statement of relevant goals/objectives relative to assigned or planned administrative duties for the upcoming years. The Supervisor's evaluation shall include faculty and/or staff opportunity for comment on the "Group B" administrator's performance. Comments received shall be referenced in anonymous and aggregate summary in the written evaluation provided to the "Group B" administrator. The Supervisor will include, as part of the written evaluation, an appended workload assignment and/or statement of performance expectations for the "Group B" administrator for the subsequent review period. A copy of the Supervisor's review, along with a summary statement of the process used to assure faculty/staff input into the evaluation, will be forwarded to the Faculty Senate Office by March 15 of the academic year the "Group B" administrator is scheduled for review. The Faculty Appeals & Oversight Committee shall review the written evaluation in performance of its oversight function in administrator review.
The following criteria will be used to determine which administrators are placed on or removed from the "Group B" list. As vacancies and appointments occur, changes to the list shall be determined annually by the Provost in consultation with the Faculty Senate President.
锟� "Group B" administrator responsibilities must be administrative in nature.
("Group B" administrators must not be Union members, UNAC or ACCFT).锟� "Group B" administrators report to "Group A" administrators.
("Group A" administrators report to the Chancellor, Provost, or a Vice Chancellor.)锟� "Group B" administrators supervise faculty and are involved in faculty performance reviews.
A current list of both "Group A" and "Group B" administrators follows.

EFFECTIVE: Fall Semester 2007
RATIONALE: Because of the lack of uniform and consistent review of Group B administrators, the need for adequate criteria for identification of administrators in this category, the need to assure annual as well as comprehensive review with faculty/staff input, and the need to diminish Faculty Appeals & Oversight direct control of the process, the Faculty Appeals & Oversight Committee proposes revision to the process as stipulated.

The 51风流官网 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #143 on April 9, 2007
MOTION:
=======The 51风流官网 Faculty Senate moves to revise the requirements for how pre-majors move to major status (51风流官网 2006-2007 catalog, page 26 and 67) as follows:
PRE-MAJOR
If you do not meet the minimum requirements for admission to a baccalaureate degree program, you may be admitted to pre-major status within the department of your choice.
[[You may later apply for a baccalaureate degree program and will be admitted if you]] STUDENTS WHO are in good standing and have completed 14 credits at the 100-level or above with a C grade average (2.0) or higher, of which 9 credits must satisfy [[general]] baccalaureate [[degree]] CORE requirements SHALL BE MOVED TO MAJOR STATUS.
EFFECTIVE: Fall 2007
RATIONALE: This is proposal is being submitted upon recommendation of the Dean锟絪 Council. The phrase general baccalaureate degree is not well defined. For example, a student could take 14 credits of electives such as ABUS courses that may not count toward any specific baccalaureate program. We would like to see progress toward baccalaureate completion for pre-majors to move to major status.
Pre-majors are typically of two types; first year students who are under prepared with respect to their high school core courses and/or gpa AND transfer students whose gpa is low. Transfer students who transfer 14 credits (C or better) with 9 credits in courses counting toward the Core would simply have to achieve good standing (C gpa) to be moved to major status.
NOTE: We no longer make pre-majors reapply for their specific four-year degree program. The Assistant Provost reviews pre-majors at the end of each semester and moves those who qualify for major status by sending a list to the registrar. A letter of congratulations is sent to these students.

The 51风流官网 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #143 on April 9, 2007
MOTION :
========The 51风流官网 Faculty Senate moves to approve a policy on Retention of Course Records.
Retention of Course Records
The classroom records pertaining to course work of any student that have not been returned to the student must be retained by the instructor for a period of one full semester (excluding summer session) after the semester in which the course was completed. These records may include but are not limited to: exams and answer sheets, homework, course papers, term papers, essays, laboratory reports, and other assignments submitted by the student in order to fulfill the requirement of the particular course. The Office of Information Technology must archive all Blackboard course content, including statistics, for a period of 1 1/2 years following completion of the course.
Classroom records of any instructor for the purpose of evaluation of grade must also be retained for a period of at least one full semester (excluding summer session) following the semester in which the course was competed. These records may include but are not limited to: syllabus, class attendance, complete list of student锟絪 performance in all relevant course work, paper work related to the determination of a grade, and a record of final grades.
In case of any dispute or grievance process initiated by the student all the above records must be retained until the end of the process. Any records or copies of records that are required for program review, accreditation purposes, or any other audit as mandated by the university may be retained for a period as deemed required by the process.
After the retention period, all records may be destroyed or properly discarded.
EFFECTIVE: Fall 2007
RATIONALE: The University does not have any policies or regulations regarding the retention of course materials, which has led to confusion among the faculty and has resulted in different retention practices and polices across the disciplines. This proposed motion will help alleviate the confusion and provide a uniform retention policy across all disciplines. The one-semester guideline is what was suggested by UA General Counsel as a reasonable policy to accommodate grade appeals. This policy should be added to the faculty handbook.
