From Educational Policies and Planning Comittee: Statement on Athletics (4/23/85 Agenda) East Carolina University is a constituent institution of The University of North Carolina An Equal Opportunity/ Affirmative Action Employer Dee dames Le Smith Page 2 June 5, 1985 The Faculty Affairs Committee report of February 27, 1985 (85-24) states that the committee recommends no change in Appendix D of the Faculty Manual. Since I believe that paragraph one of the committee's resolution does indeed significantly change the fixed-term employment policy as currently stated in Appendix D, I am not accepting Faculty Senate Resolution 85-24. I wish to continue with the currently utilized procedure with regard to fixed-term employment. In response to paragraph two of resolution 85-24, the administration does and will continue to review fixed-term appointments and, where appro- priate and feasible, has and will continue to convert appointments to tenurable, probationary appointments. I have referred Faculty Senate Resolution 85-31 to an ad hoc conmittee composed of the Director of Academic Library Services, the Director of the Health Sciences Library, the Director of the Print Shop and the University Business Manager. This committee will discuss this resolution and report back to me with its recommendations. Resolutions 85-26 (Political Science Code), 85-27 (Revisions in History Code), 85-28(Revisions in Mathematics Code), 85-29 (Revisions in English Code) have been referred to my Advisory Conmittee. Sincerely, — fro John M. Howell Chancellor JMH/ra cc: Vice Chancellors Professor Ken Wilson
