Member Ari Linden volunteered to preside at the meeting.
The committee members introduced themselves.
The committee charges were distributed before the meeting. Ari reviewed the charges with the committee.
When reviewing the charges, Meagan Patterson said the Office of Faculty Affairs would like to revise some of the existing P&T and PTTR forms related to major and minor scholarly works and submission of student teaching evaluations.
Two potential changes:
- Language around student evaluations of teaching. The forms were paper based forms previously. With online forms:
- Summary and online data are in the report.
- Office of Faculty Affairs would like to make it clearer.
- The notion of major/minor scholarly works.
- Some departments do not specify what is major/minor.
- It is not required to break out at the University level.
- Therefore, separating into major/minor is an option and not required. The committee members agreed.
Meagan Patterson said she will draft language and send to the members for their review. She said these are minor edits.
The committee went back to reviewing the charges.
There was a discussion on 2 ai on the charges.
- Charge 2ai. Gather information from past chairs of P&T committees (above Department level)
Did we send out something about that?
The link to the committee’s final report FY 25 was shared. The committee reviewed the Final Report. Who has the Qualtrics Survey data mentioned in the report? Meagan realized she has access to the Qualtrics Survey and said there is data in the survey. Meagan forwarded, via email, the P&T process feedback from Qualtrics survey to the committee members.
The members agreed to meet next in January.
Sarah motioned to adjourn. Teri seconded. All were in favor. Meeting adjourned.
