11.f. The Faculty Affairs Committee will promote
the general professional development of both the full-time faculty
and part-time and adjunct faculty (those hired under F3, G3 and F4
contracts). The committee will:
·
promote excellence in classroom teaching and professional
creativity.
·
address the concerns of part-time and adjunct faculty.
·
consider changes in the Faculty Policy Manual (FPM).
·
consider changes to the Constitution and Bylaws of the
Faculty Senate.

serve as a liaison to the American Association of
University Professors (AAUP).
The committee will also serve as the Nominations
Committee for Faculty Senate Officers. It will be responsible for
the presentation of at least one set of candidates for all elective
offices of the Faculty Senate. Committee members who intend to
nominate themselves or stand for nomination to elective office for
the following year will recuse themselves from this part of the
committee's activity. The committee will accept and collect all other
nominations from Faculty Senate members and present these to the
Faculty Senate without denoting the source of the nomination. It is
the responsibility of the committee to ensure that each candidate
it presents is fully aware of the duties and obligations of that
office.
The chair will be a Faculty Senator. The committee
chair or a chair-designated committee member will serve as one of
the three faculty members on the Faculty Senate/Deans' Joint
Committee.
The committee will have a minimum of nine members,
including at least one full-time faculty member from each college
and at least two part-time or adjunct faculty.
