Below is a list of sections/language that at least one task force member flagged as in need of clarification and/or further discussion:
- 510 Section 1 and 18.520 Section 1: how is “the formula” defined?
- 510 Section 1 and 18.520 Section 1: 15 faculty FTE vs. 20 faculty FTE
- 510 Section 2: how is ratio determined? should years identified “1975-1976” be removed?
- 530, paragraph 2: “any unit affected” – how is this determined and how is unit defined?
- 530 Section 1: what is the Affirmative Action Plan?
- 530 Section 1: “full-time equivalent service”
- 530 Section 2: how is “in the same discipline” defined?
- 530 Section 3: who determines “qualifications”
- 530 Section 5: is 2 years too short?
- 530 Section 6: does minimum 12 months need clarification
Other issues/questions:
- Should 18.6-18.9 be discussed by this task force?
- Section 18.700: “succeeding academic year, or April 15” (issue about when contracts go out)
- Section 18.700: value of keeping in “reasons stated for resignation”
- Section 18.900: if retrenchment applies only to tenured faculty, how does this section relate? what is the context of this section
- Recurring question: how is “unit” defined? The answer bears on how “termination shall be in reverse order…” is determined.
