Department Chair Selection

In 2013-2014, the chapter worked to reassert the importance of the faculty role in department chair selection when efforts were made to streamline (and thereby constrain) faculty consultation. The issue was presented to the Faculty Senate Council in February 2014 and approved by them in May of that year. The Faculty Affairs Committee developed a proposal for new University Guidelines in the 2014–2016 academic years, the proposal was circulated for College/School and FSC discussion, and the Provost approved the revised guidelines in December of 2016, and they were implemented in March 2017.
