PCC president Cindy Glass distributed Registry’s recommendation for the revision of Faculty handbook and Tenure & Promotion for review. Motion to review was passed. A member suggested to review a copy of the Faculty Handbook which was previously submitted to the University by Todd Davis. That was the latest unapproved handbook Davis’ committee worked and submitted for revision two years ago. That document might have addressed some of the issues Registry has recommended. College of Agriculture criteria were also included in the previous revised (unapproved) handbook by Todd Davis. F/S president Kim Sipes will contact Tierra Freeman about the document and try to access it.

A discussion was held about automatic tenure given to some administrators in the past. According to the current T&P policy, only VPAA/Provost and Deans are qualified for it but others were also given.

A discussion was held about evaluation of deans and chairs, Chairs were evaluated in some divisions but deans' evaluations never happened. Registry recommends to look for T&P criteria of other universities which have less than 2000 students. It was suggested that Divisions can tailor their criteria.

Registry’s recommendation of using the Boyer model to document Scholarly Activities is good that represents faculty who do not have full teaching load and have other non-teaching responsibilities, such as faculty in College of Agriculture. Registry’s recommendation provided general framework for scholarship which helps to redefine scholarship at unit level.

An inquiry was made about having third year tenure evaluation as suggested by President Thompson. It was suggested to look other institutions' model of assigning mentors and conducting evaluation in three years after original hire.
