The next meeting of the Faculty Welfare Committee will take place on Monday, September 30, according to Tamar More, physics. The committee welcomes input from faculty. The Faculty Welfare Committee is charged with:
- Serving as the official vehicle whereby policies concerning faculty salary, fringe benefits, and working conditions are to be brought to the University administration.
- Serving as a negotiating team to work directly with the administrative offices on areas of interest to the entire faculty.
- Assisting faculty in cases where a particular faculty member might have a problem which does not seem to be taken care of through regular channels. The committee’s role in handling any matters brought to it under this consideration will be: 1) to inform the faculty member of all the usual channels open to him/her, 2) to improve communication (if necessary, to bring the parties together for a better understanding of the situation), and 3) to see if correct procedures are followed and that a report, when appropriate, is made to the Academic Senate.
