S. Hannah passed out data on the composition of school and
department promotion and tenure committees.
The committee was unanimous in agreeing that SD 88-13 should be amended
so as to preclude the service of untenured faculty on promotion and tenure
committees. Appropriate amendments were
proposed and a resolution was approved.
It will be forwarded to the Executive Committee for inclusion on the
agenda for the January meeting of the Senate.
Results of the 2002-03 Upward Feedback process were passed
out along with copies of the questionnaires.

The issue of whether a chair must write a recommendation on
promotion and/or tenure for members of her/his department when the chair is also
a candidate in the same year was brought to the committee's attention for
clarification. The committee agreed that
SD 88-13 makes it clear that the chair must write such a recommendation,
regardless of whether the chair is a candidate also.
The committee took up a question regarding the position of
Senior Instructor, which was established by SD 01-13 as an amendment to SD
88-13. Because there is no such rank as
Senior Instructor within either the IU or Purdue system, the committee
unanimously approved the changing of the word "rank" to "title."
Discussion was begun on the drafting of a statement of
integrity for IPFW.

MINUTES FACULTY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE 9-15-03 Members present:
L. Beineke, E. Blakemore, M. Codispoti, S. Hannah, D. Oberstar, H. Samavati,
N. Younis The first item of business was the selection of a
chair. There was a groundswell for
David Oberstar, which carried the day. E. Blakemore passed on a memo from Linda Hite which was
received last spring too late to be discussed in the committee. The memo's request was that the issue of
voting rights for Continuing Lecturers, which was voted on last spring, be
reconsidered by Faculty Affairs. The
majority sentiment was that it is inappropriate to revisit this matter until
it has been in effect for several years. The Promotion and Tenure procedures document received from
the Dept. of Chemistry was placed on the agenda for the next meeting. S. Hannah presented the committee with a list of possible
agenda items for this academic year.
There was a discussion of that list and some suggestions about the
priority order of the items. Next meetings: Sept. 29 Oct. 8 Oct. 27 Return
