Minutes of the University Faculty, May pg, 1258

 

Building, the committee held its fourth and final meeting there on May 8. We
express appreciation to Dean Sloan and Professor Doughty for the meeting the
and the coffee provided.

\
Having found a home for the year in the seminar room of the PharmaCy }

The committee took its task to be the consideration of planning amipohq
matters and the formulation of recommendations to the University faculty flu
continued study and implementation. This interpretation of our function was
heard by the Faculty at its meeting in March. |

Committee discussions ranged freely over many topics. Items suggestedin
the first meeting of the year included: interocommittee relationships. famflw.l
administration communication, longwtime planning to staff service prOgramsam ‘
research, sabbatic leave policy, general education, calendar problems, trhmsur
plans, space problems, curriculum planning, University Faculty composition,
organization, and functions; problems of teaching, admissions, campus archium
ture, recruiting from high schools. In later meetings the following addithmd
tOpics were proposed for consideration: salary criteria and policies, rehrwm”
(change of work) policy with attention to needs of wid0ws of staff members,am I
of staff members who leave without building any equity in a retirement fund ‘

The January meeting was attended by Chairmen of the Committee of 15,'me
Committee on Committees; and the Rules COmmittee. It was determined that
certain of the topics listed above were already under the purview of these

cla
committees. (See attached notes on meeting January 16),

The only formal recommendation made to the faculty during the year was 195
for a Faculty Committee on Admissions. ’ Rh

In submitting this report, the committee makes the following recommenmmmm

1. That the University Faculty, having taken important steps this yeah
continue the proceSS of accepting larger responsibilities.

2. That each committee of the University Faculty submit annually a
written report.

3, That a calendar of reports be made so that all of them can be presmmm!
and discussed. !

4. That committee reports normally be reproduced and distributed, as i
course recommendations are now distributed, for study prior to the Facultynmfl-
ings in which they will be discussed.

59 That general purpose committees overburdened by broad scepe of refiwmb(
bility, be relieved as appropriate by the designation of special purpose cmmfi
tees with smaller tasks. The Rules Committee is thought to be a "case in pmmhf

6. That the files of a committee succeed to that committee for a follmdm
year, rather than remaining as may sometimes occur in personal or department?11 I
files. (
