The proposal was passed unanimously with the suggestion that all campus-wide grants be included, and was sent for study by Faculty Affairs Committee. This will allow copies of each file to be sent to Committee members and investigated in detail, allowing decisions to be formed on extensive investigation rather than based on a department head's recommendation. If promotions are decided by the Dean alone, then there is not need for the Promotion Committee, or if there is a Committee, then the files must be examined in detail to reflect the value of the applicants' life work. This cannot be done reasonably in a half-hour discussion. The proposal was sent to the Academic Affairs Committee for study.
More information is needed to amend the proposal.
