The Faculty Senate is working on the faculty vacancy. There are five hearings coming up. The Council thanked the Governance Office for their assistance. The Council has developed standardized replies which will incorporate consistency in the whole process. The Council has also established a tracking and distribution log.
Attorneys continue to be more involved in the process.
The Council will automatically request counsel representation. At this time, there are four faculty grievances and one Apt grievance. Concerns were expressed over the number of grievances and discussion took place on how to avoid this in the future. The Council feels that the process should be informal. However, this has not been the case with the increase of attorneys in the process.
