The faculty member was told by administrators that the incident \"had been handled\", but was not informed how. Faculty was subsequently told the student was suspended, then expelled, and then readmitted. He/she was placed in another section and was to receive counseling, after which the faculty member was called to a meeting and was told that the issue was her management style. Thus, after reporting an incident the faculty member is now under investigation herself. There is nothing in the Faculty Handbook that addresses such an evaluation. The protocol in such a situation is unclear and unspecified. Can an instructor ask a student to leave class? Should they call security? What are the options? Chair Kumar and President Smith are working on a draft for proposed protocol that addresses threatening rhetoric both in and outside of class."

One Senator suggested that we should see how this situation plays out before acting, and another pointed out that how the faculty member is being treated in the meantime is of significance. President Smith reported that Dean Shaw told him there will be continued evaluations of faculty teaching the new “accelerated” ENG 101 classes, and he suggested that this does not conform to the classroom observation policy in the Faculty Handbook, there is not an established process, the system to be used has not been shared with faculty, and the format for evaluation of results has not been identified."

She has asked disruptive students to leave her class before and an issue might be the consistency in which administrators investigate such incidents. A Senator asked if her cited incidents were within the past two years, and the response was affirmative."
