4. Impact of new CBA on APM 322
In the new CBA, every class for every faculty member must be evaluated (Article
15) which differs from APM 322a. APM 322a specifies that each faculty member
shall have a minimum of two sections rated by students annually. The Personnel
Committee recommends that the Campus Senate retain the current APM322a as
evaluating each course will result in a significant increase in workload and
expense. In addition, APM 322a indicates that the ratings for each course should
not be considered individually but rather as part of a trend. Thus, obtaining
student ratings for each course will not improve evaluation of teaching
effectiveness.
5. APM 320
Review of APM 320 was competed. Chair Rawat will send a memo to Executive
Committee with amended policy.
6. APM 309 and APM 309a
APM 309 and APM 309a were reviewed. M. Caldwell suggested that Betsy Mosher,
the Deputy Director of Athletics, and Dawn Lewis, Faculty & Athletic Advisory
Council Representative be contacted regarding amendment to the policy.
