			 suicidal thoughts, is drug dependent, is in a life-threatening situation, or
			 has been with persons who may endanger the student's welfare.

			 student is missing:
(1) The campus dean of
			 student affairs shall be notified of the situation.
(2) Upon receiving such notification, the
			 campus dean of student affairs will obtain information as to the identity of
			 the student, the person reporting the incident and the relationship of the
			 person making the report, as well as the circumstances that caused the
			 reporting person to file the report.
(3) The campus dean of student affairs will
			 thereafter:
(a) Immediately notify and
			 coordinate the sharing of information with campus police and security
			 services;
(b) Immediately notify

			 missing person reports must be filed with either campus police or another law

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3354:1 - Cuyahoga Community College › Chapter 3354:1-30 - Policies on Student Academics and Behavior › Section 3354:1-30-08.1 - Faculty evaluation procedure

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Background.
(1) Research in the area of faculty
			 evaluation has generally concluded that an evaluation program should be
			 comprehensive. The program should incorporate the use of different
			 responsibilities (e.g., classroom teaching, college service), the use of
			 different methods of information collection (e.g., classroom visits,
			 questionnaires, interviews, etc.), and the use of more than one source (e.g.,
			 students, peers, supervisor). This approach, although time consuming, is
			 considered appropriate for several reasons. First, faculty differ significantly
			 in their responsibilities. Second, it is consistent with the conclusion that no
			 single theory of instruction is superior to all others; there is no one
			 recognized view of effective instruction as perceptions vary among educators.
			 Third, more than a single type of information is necessary to adequately
			 document faculty effectiveness and to provide feedback for
			 improvement.
(2) Another feature of
			 the procedure described herein is that it relies heavily upon the professional
			 relationship between the faculty member and his/her immediate superior. The
			 emphasis given to each responsibility and the source of information about
			 performance in each of those categories will be decided mutually by the faculty
			 member and his/her immediate supervisor. The setting of goals for the faculty
			 member's professional development will be the responsibility of the faculty
			 member, with approval by the immediate supervisor.

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3354:1 - Cuyahoga Community College › Chapter 3354:1-41 - Policies for Eligible Employees › Section 3354-1-41-02.11 - Flexible Work Schedule Procedure

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Flexible Work Schedule (FWS) Benefit
			 Statement
(1) The College recognizes the
			 positive impact flexibility in the workplace has on recruitment, retention,
			 morale, engagement, and productivity. Given the mutually beneficial impact to
			 both employees and the institution, supervisors and departments are encouraged
			 to utilize flexible work schedules (FWS) whenever possible.
(2) The College believes in cultivating a
			 progressive work culture which supports employees in their work-life balance to
			 encourage creativity, productivity, and commitment to the organization.
			 Fulltime, exempt and non-exempt employees may have the ability to utilize FWS.
			 Specifically, they may request the following:
a. Alternative Hours: work a schedule
			 different from normal business hours.
b. Compressed Work Week: work total number of
			 hours expected per week in less than the standard five full workdays.
c. Remote: work from home.
(3) When determining FWS approval,
			 the institutional needs of the College, students and the department take
			 precedence. The decision to establish a FWS is at the sole discretion of the
			 College. There is no guarantee a request for a FWS will be approved. FWS is not
			 uniformly available to all positions in a department or division. Not every
			 function is conducive to such flexible scheduling because of the requirements
			 of the department.
(4) FWS do not
			 alter the responsibility and authority of supervisors to establish and change
			 work schedules. A department which has established a FWS may discontinue,
			 temporarily suspend, or alter the arrangement if work needs change, if service
			 is impaired or performance is unsatisfactory.
(5) A FWS is a special arrangement and a
			 privilege available to all fulltime employees in good standing, depending on
			 the staffing needs of the College. Good standing is defined as receiving a
			 "Meets Expectations" for bargaining employees and "Accomplished" (4) or higher
			 for non-bargaining employees.
(6)
			 Employees must successfully complete their applicable probationary period as
			 determined by employee classification prior to requesting a flex work schedule.
Employees who are promoted or transferred into permanent
				positions and have a contractual requirement to serve a probationary period
				must complete the probationary period prior to continuing any FWS or requesting
				any FWS.
