Specific instructions given to the Committee by the Faculty Senate
other than those found in the Committee's Constitutional Charge:

We were asked by the Senate to consider removing the six-year cap

on part-time employment and on noncontinuous employment. We presented
a resolution to the Senate recommending removal of the cap for persons
employed 75% or less of full time. The Senate rejected the resolution.

A brief statement of Committee organization, etc.

The Committee functioned as a whole to consider the issue of part time
employment referred to us by the Senate, and functioned as the Faculty
Grievance Committee with a subcommittee or eight members (excluding
Adler and Pories, unit heads).

List of Committee Accomplishments:

The Committee considered the issue of removing the six-year cap for
part-time employment as mentioned in V. Above. Recommendations were
made to Ralph Kinsey, Chair of the Chancellor Search Committee
regarding the criteria for selecting a new chancellor. Three
grievances from faculty members were heard. A set of guidelines were
developed for grievances that do not involve equal opportunity issues.

Citation of the resolution numbers of Senate resolutions that
originated with the Committee:

None

Proposals and/or business to be carried over to next year:

None
Evaluation of Committee:

The duties of the Committee are well defined and the structure and
functions of the Committee have generally operated smoothly and
efficiently. The personnel are very hard working and dedicated.

Suggestions for Improving the Effectiveness of the Committee:

We have had some minor problems this year due to the fact that two
members of the Committee could not serve on the Grievance Committee
because of administrative appointments. It might be easier to get

a quorum for grievance meetings if unit heads and other administrative
officials were not nominated for the Faculty Affairs Committee.
