Section I. FACULTY RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
C. Faculty Responsibilities 2. Areas Meriting Significant Faculty Consultation Because all aspects of the university are interconnected, consultation with faculty is essential in areas that significantly affect the academic character and quality of the university. Consultation occurs through substantive discussions between administrators and appropriate faculty bodies as specified in this document and as required by the collective bargaining process. The more directly decisions affect the academic character and quality of the university, the more extensive the consultation with faculty should be. For example, when planning involves institutional academic priorities, such as the development and elimination of academic programs or the organization of academic structures and units, consultation with the faculty is especially important. Ideally, decisions will reflect consensus between the administrative leadership and the appropriate bodies of the faculty. Areas for faculty consultation include, but are not limited to: a. university and college mission; b. undergraduate and graduate admissions, enrollment management, and scholarships; c. budget;
d. hiring and evaluation of academic administrators; e. recommendation of candidates for honorary degrees; f. academic facilities, including instructional technologies; g. aspects of student life that affect academic climate and quality; h. policies related to academic calendars;. i. creation, reorganization, or renaming of academic units.
