Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

FWDC 5:                       Proposal to Change Membership on Teaching Fellows Advisory Council

                                    (Revision of SD8303S; Faculty Handbook 10.4.30)

 

 

Effective Date:   Immediately

 

In the Faculty Handbook, Section 10.4.30 (SD8303S)

Under Membership, after “Chair of the Education Department or his/her designee”

 

REMOVE:

 

One faculty member, serving a one-year term, appointed by the VCAA”

 

AND

 

“One faculty member from and selected by the Honors Program Committee, serving a one-year term”

 

ADD:

 

“Two faculty members, serving two-year staggered terms, appointed by the Provost”

 

Rationale:

An increasing number of Teaching Fellows do not participate in the Honors Program.  In addition, having faculty members serving two-year staggered terms will provide for continuity. 

 

The Director of the Honors Program will continue to be invited to the Council’s meetings.
