Faculty Affairs Committee *Stefan, Walter, Kelvin, Charley, Richard Reports completed – available on your favorite opendocman site ** ready for discussions and/or vote (if needed) ** 1. Revision: Guidelines on post-tenure review post-tenure review has been and will continue to be a trivial & useless process. 2. Revision: Guidelines on tenure and promotion almost the same as the old ones, some repetitive statements removed. We propose one change in the ‘Minimum Criteria for Tenure’: “A favorable recommendation requires a two-thirds positive vote from the tenured faculty.” 3. Guidelines on teaching evaluations of new faculty * class visits by the teaching evaluation committee early on * new faculty encouraged to attend lectures by ‘more experienced’ faculty * peer mentoring encouraged, when needed (voluntary) Ongoing work – available soon Report on (funded) research in the Physics Department
