Digitizing the RST process: summer work
Hansen, Frieders, Wein, and Anderson volunteered to create a process for review and to present to Faculty Senate for approval.
IV / New Business:
Concerns about only chair/dean involvement in PTR process: some concerns have been raised about not having DSPC/RTRB/non-chair input in PTR process. While we have asked that departments not include these bodies (and the rationale for this) in the PTR process, at least one individual would like to discuss this with the URSTPC.
Clarification was provided regarding if faculty can be involved in the process. It was expressed that there was no opposition to the departments creating a “PTR” committee it just can not be the DSPC reviewing. There was also some concern with only the dean reviewing the department chair, concerns were that this seems to be taking review of tenured faculty out of the tenured faculty hands.
