Highlights of Faculty Task Force Recommendations : Appointment

Guarantee that faculty retain the primary role & responsibility in hiring faculty.
Establish a large recurring fund to help hire highly qualified spouses/partners.
Provide safeguards against inappropriate reductions in the FTE appointment and related increases in workload.
Continue guaranteeing summer pay at same rate as in the academic year and add payment for any service duties.
Safeguard tenure by mandating that the ratio of tenurable to non-tenurable positions will not fall below current levels and set a specific timetable for restoring that ratio to 1990 levels.
Require that candidates also be provided with relevant materials about the nature of the position ‹ teaching and research load, special conditions, and the standards for retention, promotion, and tenure.
