Faculty Senate Resolution on Addition of an Unaffiliated Faculty Member to the
Faculty Handbook Committee Membership
September 2014
Whereas unaffiliated faculty (those faculty not specifically assigned to one of the
six Colleges) currently lack representation on the Faculty Handbook Committee,
Whereas many decisions made by the Faculty Handbook Committee directly
affect the unaffiliated faculty,
The Faculty Senate of the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) recommends that
the Faculty Handbook Committee membership be increased with the addition of
one tenured unaffiliated faculty member. The addition of this member will
provide representation for a group of faculty that are governed by the Faculty
Handbook, but have to this point not had a voice in the processes and procedures
of the group that modifies and maintains it. This member will be implemented
following the same guidelines as the current members of the Faculty Handbook
Committee.
