Meeting on September 16, 2013
In attendance: Dan Duquette, Kerrie Hoar, Janet Kirsch, Kate Parker, Robert Rosacker
1. Meeting commenced at 7:50 a.m.
2. Minutes from the previous meeting approved.
3. Discussion of Charge #1: Modify the by-laws for the IAS Committee and the IAS-CPC to
reflect the change from “career progression” to “promotion.” Clarified that the change is from
“career progression” (two words) to “promotion” (one word). Document reflecting changes will
be distributed via email before our next meeting; changes will be approved then. DD and KH
discussed clause 5.2.3.2 in IAS-CPC regrading merit information; it was decided that we would
return the language to IAS Committee for discussion because “Clinical Associate Professor” is
not the highest rank; needs to be changed to “Clinical Professor.” Will need to change “career
progression” to “promotion” in Faculty Senate by-laws as well; DD will review before next
meeting.
4. Discussion of Charge #3: Provide language modifications to Senate Policy IV:
Responsibilities in line with proposed changes approved April 18, 2013. DD takes issue with the
wording of the proposed changes; Committee proposes the following change instead:
“Departments will determine how courses offered through the department are to be delivered
(e.g….).” Will present changes to Senate.
5. A motion was made to spell-check and proof-read all the documents reviewed by our
Committee to ensure that there are no typos or other errors before we send them forward to the
Senate. During discussion, KP offered to proof-read documents if needed. Motion carried.
6. Next scheduled meeting (September 23, 2013) will take place via email. DD will circulate new
documents to approve, and Committee are asked to review the CGAAF charge (Charge #4) in
advance of our meeting on September 30, 2013.
7. Meeting adjourned at 8:20 a.m.
