A few Faculty Senate members argued about amending language in a proposed bill that would allow candidates for promotion and tenure to receive written rationale about negative comments.
Members deliberated over the language for more than half of the time of the meeting. Some members argued that language needed to be changed to either give time for those candidates to file grievances or to avoid grievances filed for the lack of providing the written rationale. A majority of more than half of the members approved the amendment, while a few opposed it. Other language was amended in the bill that changed the release of profile information by faculty from using a "valid" request to "written" request because it was unclear what would be considered "valid."
Marshall University President Stephen Kopp reported to senate members of the across-the-board raise that was given to eligible faculty. Eligible faculty only included 4-year faculty, and did not include medical school faculty, newly hired faculty and part time faculty.
