Other Committee Business

 

The committee discussed the possibility of having the tenure and promotion dossiers submitted digitally rather than on paper.  While there was some agreement that a “paperless” process might be desirable, there was also reluctance to implement a new system at this time because candidates are already preparing their submissions using the current system and because there is work ongoing to use the Digital Measures reporting system to collect and report tenure and promotion data.

Adjournment

 

The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 a.m.

Submitted by, Gary M. Wood, Secretary of the Faculty
