Agenda Item 5.D Attachment (Faculty Welfare Committee) RESOLUTION NO. 1 WHEREAS, East Carolina University should have the capability both in staff and equipment to handle personnel records efficiently by computerized methods, and WHEREAS, at the present time most of the records handled by the Personnel Office are handled manually rather than by computer, and WHEREAS, several matters pertaining to faculty and staff salaries are not handled as promptly as would be possible if the computer were used, and WHEREAS, it requires from one to ten days for the Accounts Payable and Personnel Office to process manually deposits for tax sheltered annuities which could result in a loss of interest to the individuals holding the iy annuities, and changes in salary classification for purchase of life insurance are recorded only once per year (October 1), thereby creating the possibility that the beneficiaries of a faculty member whose salary has changed to a higher classification but has not yet been recognized prior to October l could lose several thousand dollars in benefits if the faculty member should die before the increased amount of life insurance is purchased when an increase in salary occurs; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That steps be taken as soon as possible by the appropriate agencies of East Carolina University to provide the necessary staff and equipment to handle essential records by computer. RESOLUTION NO. 2 WHEREAS, Standards exist for determining the starting salaries of all state employees except the professorate; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That standards for placement in rank as well as minimum starting salaries for each rank be determined for the faculty of East Carolina University. a RESOLUTION NO. 3 WHEREAS, There are a number of faculty members at East Carolina University with ten or more years of service, and WHEREAS, The salaries of several of these professors fall in the lowest ten percent of their respective ranks, which in most cases include people with fewer years of service; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That such cases be looked at individually in relation to their performance and, if necessary, proper adjustment be made in their salaries. RESOLUTION NO. 4 WHEREAS, faculty, as EPA employees of the State, have been denied the longevity pay incentive afforded SPA employees and, more recently, public school teachers and community/technical college teachers; and WHEREAS, faculty salaries have not experienced as great a percentage increase over the past decade as have those of other State employees; and WHEREAS, SPA employees have enjoyed specific, annual appropriations for each of merit, longevity, and reclassifications--appropriations historically denied EPA employees--in addition to cost-of-living increments which * have been assigned across-the-board; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Board of Governors shall henceforth request on behalf of the professorate of the constituent institutions of the University of North Carolina specific, annual appropriations for each of merit, longevity, and promotions which shall not be redefined and distributed according to other than the intended, aforementioned criteria, in addition to cost-of-living increments which realistically offset the effects of inflation and which shall be assigned across-the-board; and RESOLVED, That the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina shall establish appropriate salary schedules for the faculties of the University of North Carolina which shall guarantee levels of faculty remuneration by rank which at least equal current, national, category- of-institution average levels. Agenda Item 5.G Attachment (University Curriculum Committee) LIBRARY SCIENCE LIBRARY SCIENCE MAJOR, B.S. DEGREE Minimum degree requirement is 126 s.h. of credit as follows: 2. Required LIBS courses: 5101, 5102, 5103, 5114 or 5115, 5116, 5120...18 s.h. PROPOSED POLICY FOR RETENTION OF COURSES IN THE CATALOG If the courses are not offered at least once in three academic years, we believe the course should be removed from the unit's list of course offerings in the catalog. If the course is listed for pre-registration and/or registration but is not taught due to lack of enrollment, the course will be considered as having been offered. Each unit will include in its annual report to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs a list of all existing courses in numerical order, from lowest to highest, which have not been offered during the last three academic years. The office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs will make accessible the list of these courses to the Chairpersons of the University Curriculum Committee and the Graduate Curriculum Committee. ee) On receipt of these lists the Chairpersons of the appropriate Curriculum Committees will notify the appropriate unit heads to request that the course(s) be (a) deleted, (b) placed in the Curriculum Bank, or (c) allowed to remain in the catalog. In the latter case, the unit head may be asked to appear before the appropriate Curriculum Committee to justify the request. In the fall semester of even-numbered years the Chairman of the appropriate Curriculum Committee will ask unit heads if they wish courses in the Curriculum Bank to be deleted or retained. A written answer will suffice to keep the course in the Bank for the following catalog. If a unit wishes to remove a course from the Curriculum Bank after it has been in the Bank for three or more years, the Curriculum Committee will ask that copies of a new syllabus be sent to members of the Curriculum Committee, as it will be assumed that the course material will have undergone substantial change. A representative from the unit will also be asked to appear before the Committee when the course is placed on the agenda.
