Central Washington University Board of Trustees July 26, 2024 ACTION – Faculty Code Updates Background:
During the 1946-1947 academic year, the CWU faculty created a “Faculty Code of Personnel and Policy,” which was subsequently approved by the faculty, president and Board of Trustees. This Code established an 11-member Faculty Council, which, in 1962, became the Faculty Senate. Section IV(A)1 of the Faculty code provides that the Senate shall have the right to submit recommendations to the BOT through the president. The Faculty Senate resides organizationally within the President’s Division; the Faculty Senate Chair reports directly to the president. Upon a comprehensive review by the Faculty Senate Bylaws and Code Committee and the full Senate, the Faculty Senate shares recommendations with the President, for transmission to the Board of Trustees. Code Changes: The Faculty Senate asks for approval of changes to the Faculty Code which were approved May 1, 2024: 1) Code Abbreviations 2) Section I. Faculty, B. Other Faculty Appointments, 1. Election, and Removal of Department Chairs, a. Election of Department Chairs, b. Removal or Replacement of Chairs, c. Filling Temporary Chair Vacancies. Summary of changes and/or additions: 1) Addition of CBA date and where to find the CBA to the abbreviations section of the Code. 2) 2) Removal of text in Code that corresponds to the same text in the CBA in Code Section I.B.1.a, b, c. Rationale for changes and/or additions: Addition of the most current version of the CBA and where to find the CBA was added to the Abbreviations section. Hyperlink was considered but not feasible. Text in Code is redundant and would need to be updated as the CBA changes. Proposed changes to Code: Abbreviations: CBA: The collective bargaining agreement between CWU and the United Faculty of Central Washington University, September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2027. The CBA can be found at www.ufcentral.org. Section I. Faculty, 2. Emerit Faculty Appointments, c. ii, d. i and ii
