Administrative Challenges Lack of support staff for administrators leads them to dump issues onto the faculty with out properly vetting them. Historically, the job of Provost has been so contentious that people appointed to that post are eaten alive. Provost may need to take a more collegial approach with the faculty. The deans are in a gray area between faulty and administration, partially because some are hired in-house and others are brought in from outside Ramapo specifically to be deans. When policy changes are proposed, there should be a clear mechanism trough which they should be brought to the faculty. This would include rationales for the proposed changes as well as a clear timeline for action. The Faculty Assembly should have up/down votes on proposed policy changes and should be the only body originating curricular changes (e.g. General Education Issues) Faculty or ARC reps should be taken to conferences that administrators attend (e.g. AACU) and sufficient time should be allowed for such representatives to make travel plans. The origin of proposed policy changes should be more transparent. Meeting timing is an issue. Administrators often want immediate feedback, but this outcome is not supported by the current structure and timing of the FAEC and FA meetings. Unit Councils Time should be reserved in Unit Council meetings to discuss issues brought to the FAEC. Unit representatives from FAEC will describe the rationales behind any proposed changes in policy. FAEC and Faculty Assembly FAEC should post highlights from their meetings (bullet points) directly after meeting to improve communication and dispel the black box image. Two only faculty meeting per year could be held. More clarity and transparency in the mechanisms for policy change may help to reestablish trust between faculty and administrators. Faculty Assembly website needs substantial improvement. September In-Service Items Clearing Wednesdays (or the middle of the day on Wed.) to accommodate meetings and academic culture. Challenges to this include the overwhelming number of existing meeting and the issue of a lack of science laboratory space and the requisite adjunct faculty needed to supervise them. Creating a Faculty lounge or common area. How will the FAEC go about soliciting input for additional items to be discussed at the in-service? Responsibility Whose responsibility is it to actually DO the work associated with the above key issues?
