To all Day Full-time unit members,
Last week ended the fifth week of classes and immediate supervisors
should have returned all course materials to faculty along with the
Checklist of Course Materials (Form XIII-E2). If any of the 10
items listed on the checklist were missing or if the immediate
supervisor had concerns, the faculty member should have been notified
and given an opportunity to submit materials or respond to the concerns
within fourteen (14) calendar days. If the missing items and/or
concerns were identified, I recommend that you respond in writing
to the immediate supervisor with the updated or missing item(s) and
provide your students with the updated information.
The intent of this 14 day response period serves two (2) purposes:
- To give the faculty member the opportunity to correct an
oversight without a negative comment being placed in the summary
evaluation.
- To insure that students have all of the items on the checklist.
NB: Please note that faculty have full freedom in the selection of
course materials and if the faculty member believes that directive from
the immediate supervisor to change the course materials infringes upon
academic freedom, then the faculty member has the right to
initiate the grievance process.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
