ENMU VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT FOR TRASH WALK –
University individuals and organizations need to mark the
morning of April 20 on their calendars. On this date, the Roosevelt
County Chamber of Commerce, the Pride In Portales Committee and the
City of Portales will hold the annual Great American Trash Pick-up to
rid our community of unsightly trash and litter. As always, the event
will consist of two activities. Those campus groups that have adopted
a mile of highway in Roosevelt County are asked to police their miles
on that day. Bags of trash can either be left off the side of the road
for County pickup or they may be brought back in to town for disposal.
City dump trucks will be stationed in the parking lot of the Chamber
of Commerce for this purpose.
Too, the Chamber is asking for additional student volunteers on April
20 to help clean up within Portales and on Eastern's Campus. As always,
those groups and individuals willing to help should plan to meet behind
the Chamber building around 9:30 a.m. on the 20th for assignments and
supplies. At noon, everyone is invited back to City Park for a Hot Dog
Picnic and Awards Ceremony. Many prizes and cash awards will be distributed
as the Chamber's way of showing its appreciation to the participants.
In order to adequately prepare for food and cleanup assignments, groups
intending to participate in this year's Great American Trash Pick-up
should contact Dr. Patrick Rucker, Eastern New Mexico University, Station
37 at 562.2092 or 359-0038 the week of April 12. (Email: Patrick.Rucker@enmu.edu)
This year marks the fifteenth consecutive year for this worthy event.
At all previous events, Eastern's student body has been amply represented.
So, we expect a good turnout from the campus again this year ... and
thanks, in advance, for being a Pride In Portales volunteer.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR SET – The

FACULTY HANDBOOK COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED REVISIONS
Faculty Forum to discuss changes to the Faculty Handbook, Thursday,
April 11, at 3:30 p.m. in COB 113.
The Faculty Handbook Committee presents the following recommended revisions
to the Faculty Handbook. These suggested amendments, with two exceptions,
pertain to faculty evaluation (sections IV and V of the Handbook). They
reflect proposals submitted to the Handbook Committee from an ad hoc
committee recently formed to review faculty evaluation and recommend
improvements. Proposed amendments appear in bold print within the section/paragraph
that they are to be placed.
1. Steps or levels that the evaluation process goes through * (Introductory
section to section IV "Faculty Selection and Placement," currently
written as a single paragraph, is to be presented in the following manner):
The primary responsibility for faculty selection and evaluation rests
with the faculty. Evaluation encompasses not only teaching and related
functions such as advising and service on school/department, college
and university committees, but also scholarly and professional activities
and academic preparation. Recommendations for appointment, retention,
promotion, leaves, and tenure originate with the faculty and will be
based on these evaluations. Regular faculty members seeking a change
of status (probationary retention, promotion, tenure, leave) shall be
responsible to initiate such a change through their own active role
in applying for the change of status, following appropriate procedures
and preparing and submitting materials and/or a review file.
The evaluation process entails a number of steps or levels: Faculty
Evaluation Committee (FEC), Chair, College Dean, and the Vice President
for Academic Affairs (VPAA). These steps are operative as follows:
The evaluation steps for resource faculty members other than academic
administrators shall stop at the level of college dean.
For faculty members who are in their first, second, and fourth years
of probationary contract, the evaluation shall stop at the level of
College Dean.
For faculty members who are in other years of their probationary contract
or who are applying for tenure and/or promotion, the process shall proceed
through the VPAA.
For each evaluation, a faculty member may appeal an adverse decision
to the next level, including the President and thence Board of Regents.
Final authority for all matters relating to faculty status is delegated
to the President by the Board of Regents, subject to the Board's review.
*Editorial changes required should this amendment pass:
Replace "Graduate Dean" (IV, A, 9) with VPAA
Delete IV, A, 10
Begin #12 with: Should a faculty member appeal a decision to the President,
Adjust numbering, sequencing, and referencing under IV, A.
[rationale: Reduces steps and shortens process.]
2. Evaluation schedule for first year faculty (IV, A, 1)
At the beginning of each fall semester, the Office of Academic Affairs
shall publish a calendar establishing the dates for each step of the
faculty evaluation process. There shall be two schedules. The schedule
for faculty who are in their first year of employment at Eastern New
Mexico University shall commence with the gathering of information during
fall and will continue with step 7, following, after the beginning of
spring semester. The schedule for all other faculty shall begin with
fall semester.
[rationale: Presently, the Handbook states: "The schedule for faculty
who are in their first-year probationary faculty shall commence . .
." The suggested change recognizes that faculty who are in their
first year of ENMU employment may be credited for service at other universities
and thus begin as other than P-1.]
3. Composition of FEC (IV, A, 2)
Each fall semester, the faculty in each school/department shall elect
a Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) of not fewer than three nor more
than five faculty excluding the unit head. Only full-time, regular faculty
members shall be eligible to serve on FECs. [delete: Whenever possible,]
A majority of the FEC shall hold tenure. A unit may, but is not required
to, combine with other units; any such merger must be approved by a
majority of the faculty in each affected unit. To form its FEC, a unit
may elect no more than a minority of its members [replacing: one or
more faculty members] from other units.
[rationale: Present wording allows non-tenured faculty to form a majority
of FEC membership and permits resource faculty to serve on the committee.
The formation of "hand-picked" FECs whose membership consists
primarily of faculty members from outside the department is also inappropriate.
In cases where departments are unable to form FECs with a majority of
tenured members and less than half of the membership from other departments,
the department in question should formally combine with another department
for the FEC, as currently allowed in the Handbook.]
4. Evaluation standards (IV, A, 3)
The FEC and the respective unit head(s) shall propose for all faculty
with instructional assignments appropriate FEC peer and student evaluation
procedures for the subsequent year. FEC's shall also identify appropriate
teaching, scholarship, creative activities, and service for their disciplines
as well as expectations for tenure and promotion. The proposal must
be ratified by the faculty members of the unit. After approval by the
faculty, these guidelines should be forwarded to the Chair, Dean, and
VPAA. In addition to FEC peer evaluations, other evaluations may include
those from faculty on campus and/or professional colleagues off campus.
Peer evaluations must be signed by their author. The FEC shall communicate
these procedures in writing to the faculty of the unit and to the dean
of the college.
[rationale: The current practice of preparing and disseminating evaluation
guidelines is not specifically required in the Handbook. The proposal
also recognizes the role of discipline-specific standards in the evaluation.]
5. To be addressed in the review (IV, A, 6)
Each evaluator shall review the resume, summaries of student and peer
evaluations, responses, insertions and other supportive materials. Evaluators
shall also review the quality and significance of scholarship and/or
creative activity, the importance and value of service to the university,
profession, and/or community, and shall prepare for each candidate an
appraisal of the candidate's progress or success in meeting or achieving
the University's standards for retention, promotion, or tenure.
[rationale: Gives emphasis to the significance, not merely quantity,
of scholarship and service activities.]
6. Special appointment: adjunct faculty (Part One, IV, 2, b)
Adjunct: An appointment given to a person of substantial professional
caliber and achievement who is recommended by the appropriate faculty
and by the academic administrators for formal association with an academic
program. Retired faculty who receive an adjunct appointment shall be
assigned the same academic rank as they held at the time of their retirement.
[rationale: Retired faculty hired as adjuncts should be appointed at
the academic rank and title commensurate with their emeritus status.]
7. Vocational-technical faculty (Part Two, IV, B, 2)
Delete this section from the Handbook.
[rationale: The university no longer uses the Vocational-technical faculty
classification.]
8. Linking of Annual Performance with Post-tenure evaluation (section
V)
(Amend Part Two, V of the Handbook "Periodic Review of Tenured
Faculty" by adding the following passage as a second paragraph
under "procedure" number 1)
The requirement of periodic review of tenured faculty shall be satisfied
with the existence of annual performance/merit review, provided the
faculty member's performance is considered to be satisfactory. However,
should the faculty member whose performance is considered as unsatisfactory
in two consecutive years be recommended for post-tenure review, the
procedures herein outlined shall be implemented.
[rationale: Because annual performance evaluation allows for "any
recommendation," the adoption of this amendment would not require
the inclusion of additional (such as "needs improvement,"
"does not meet expectations") category to annual review. A
more detailed explanation of this amendment will be provided under separate
cover.]
