Retirement Benefit committee is continuing to meet. MAFS Michael Davis attended the meeting. There was some interaction with the legislators at the Capital

  3. President’s ReportFebruary 17, 2011 • Policy and Procedures for Promotion and Tenure • Some departments on campus do not have a sufficient number of tenured full professors to form the committee • Even including similar disciplines • Alternative arrangements are needed • At the request of the Rolla campus, IFC discussed the issue • There was a suggestion to look for tenured full professors in the same discipline on the other campuses to serve as the first option • This may not be a good arrangement because of “cultural” differences • IFC agreed on a compromise to let the department form the committee with the following options: • professor emeriti • Tenured full professors from similar departments • Tenured full professors from other UM campuses • Next step is ratification by senates/councils • Because of time sensitivity, full vetting was not possible • Senate needs to approve adoption

  4. President’s ReportFebruary 17, 2011 • Grievance Procedures • Background • Previous procedures were too “lawyerish” and adversarial • Took too much time (sometimes upto 2 years) • Panels did not have expertise to conduct the proceedings • Pilot programs were tried at Rolla, Columbia and KC for 2 years • IFC received input from campus panels and oversight committees in order to formulate new policies • IFC discussed issues such as having an administrator on the panel, problems with frivolous complaints, release time for panel members, and others. • The new policies are in the spirit of conflict resolution, and do not resemble legal proceedings. (Grievant will have that option after the panel makes its recommendation) • Senate needs to approve adoption
