Administrative Procedures Committee
Report to Faculty Senate
5/5/05

The Administrative Procedures Committee met on May 3, 2005.  Faculty members Mary Lou Robinson, Patricia Keith, and Betsy Van Clief gave input on the proposed revisions of Policy 2.106 Procedure for Advancement in Rank.  Following extensive discussion, and in a closed session of the committee members only, the AP Committee voted to present modifications to the Faculty Senate of Policy 2.106.

Briefly, the proposed modification accomplishes the following:  

(a)    re-configuration of the review process for promotion/tenure such that the STPRC or SPRC will review portfolios of applicants prior to the Provost.  In the policy iteration that the Senate has considered for first reading, these reviews were in reverse order.   Review by the STPRC or SPRC, then the Provost, is the order in which the portfolios have historically been reviewed at LCSC.

There are no other substantive changes to the proposal by the APC, though the Business and Social Science Divisions have also submitted revisions of the Terminal Degree requirements for their respective divisions.

The 5/03/05 policy iteration was distributed to all Faculty Senators and Division Chairs prior to the 5/05/05 meeting of the Faculty Senate.

Respectfully submitted,

Kathie Wilcox, APC Chair
