I welcome this report and am glad to know it is available on the Web for others to read. The report outlines programs employed by some UC campuses that facilitate positive communication, lists training opportunities for faculty and staff and identifies resources available for resolving conflicts. Coleman would like to see senate members and staff assemblies from each campus engage in an open discussion leading to the adoption of a similar statement. Christine Maslach, vice chairwoman of Berkeley's academic senate and professor of psychology, said faculty-staff relationships are a top priority for the senate. The report, she said, will be put on the agenda of the divisional council for discussion in the coming weeks.
Partnerships are crucial and central to the work that is done here.
It's clear the report doesn't offer a template for behavior. Adobe Acrobat software is required to read this document. Copyright 2000, The Regents of the University of California. Produced and maintained by the Office of Public Affairs at UC Berkeley .
