Current Issue : Merit and Promotion Review and Evaluation

The Academic Federation Executive Council continues to spend considerable time on the issue of peer review of Federation member, specifically departmental evaluation of non-Senate instructional faculty. The Academic Senate claims exclusive rights to review and evaluate instructional faculty, thereby denying Academic Federation members their right to peer review and evaluation. The Academic Senate Committee on Elections, Rules and Jurisdiction requested a ruling from the University Committee on Rules and Jurisdiction regarding this exclusive right. Listed below are the relevant documents in descending chronological order:
