Welcome To The Secretary of the Faculty
|
The Secretary of the Faculty serves as an advocate for the collective University faculty. In this advocacy role, the Secretary of the Faculty identifies emerging issues that have potential impact on faculty and ensures that these issues are carefully vetted. The Secretary provides a conduit for communication between the faculty and the administration.
In addition, the Secretary of the Faculty also works in a consolatory and advisory position for members of the faculty seeking information and clarification of university-widepolicies that affect faculty, e.g., promotion and tenure, academic freedom, sexual harassment, paid external consulting, conflict of interest, workplace violence, and scholarly misconduct. When appropriate, the Secretary refers faculty to senate committees, university services or dispute resolution mechanisms.
He/she is further charged with maintaining records of the meetings of the
university faculty and reports to the board of trustees and president on all
matters passed by the university faculty and faculty council requiring approval
or action.
