senate Bill No. 8687-17
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY
UNIVERSITY SENATE
PROPOSED REGULATION FOR SCHOOL AND COLLEGE PERSONNEL COMMITTEES
PROPOSED BY:
Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointment
April 20. 1987
IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED:
I.
That for all cases of promotion and continuing appointment.
when a member of the candidate's department of primary
appointment is also a member of the school or college's
personnel committee. such individual will be excluded from
school or college personnel committee meetings at which the
candidate's case is considered.
II. That this bill be incorporated into the S.U.N.Y.A.
Guidelines concerning Promotion and continuing Appointment.
RATIONALE:
When candidates are considered for promotion and/or continuing
appointment. all members of their department of primary
appointment have the opportunity to state their views about the
case at appropriate department meetings.
It is unfair to
privilege one member of a department by also allowing her or
him to participate in a school or college personnel committee
discussion of the same candidate's case.
If necessary. a school or college council may invite a member
of a candidate's department to a council meeting to provide
supplementary information.
The majority of school and college personel committees already
follow a policy of excluding committee members from discussions
of cases from their department of primary appointment.
The
intent of this bill is to make such practice uniform throughout
the university.
