Meeting Minutes:

Topic 1: Kaitlin Update about local community

  • Recommitment campaign
  • Lobby day
  • Kristine asks about legal support and using AFT WA resources
  • Kaitlin says she will send information about this

Topic 2: George Beckley update about elections

  • Sabbatical Committee elections were certified by eboard
  • 52 ballots were valid
  • 6 candidates were elected
  • Sabbatical Committee: Tony D., Linda K., Kaite F., Shannon F., Matt A., Gloria Anderson
  • Kristine clarifies that full time faculty are the only ones who can be on the committees
  • We confirm that only full time tenured faculty can vote on the committee
  • Move to certify the election results that approved MOU for artistic director/musical
  • Trevor seconds
  • unanimous vote to move forward
  • Kristine agrees to sign and send it to Lucas

Topic 3: Keep short reports in the ARC process

  • The contract doesn’t seem to require short reports in the ARC process so we have to decide whether we’re going to keep this historically included report in the process
  • The BOT said they couldn’t make this decision
  • 83% of faculty said no they didn’t want short reports in a poll that Kristine sent out
  • The listserve may not be the best way to gather feedback from faculty
  • With a faculty recently denied tenure without obvious documentation, the short reports may become more useful in supporting those faculty who run into friction
  • The short reports were a way to micromanage the ARC process from the BOT

Topic 4: Template email to greet new faculty from the union

  • Getting the email from one of us for both part time and full time faculty
  • Usually the first vp would do this but we don’t currently have anyone in that role
  • Have that email include the email signature that Lauren made with all of our roles/email addresses/names
  • Have that email include how to access the SCCFT1950 website/minutes
  • George suggests we keep the list updated with current faculty/union members
