Paula and Kathleen Kluegel met with Kathleen Pecknold to discuss P&T. Some questions that were brought up were:
Definition of recusal – the person walks out and doesn’t participate in the discussion or
vote.
Review of peer committee reports – will continue with the process because it directly benefits the faculty member.
Should untenured be able to vote in the election of PTA members – yes, they will continue to have a vote
What gets put in writing – PTA and FRC will continue to write letter to Paula with vote for each person, explaining vote. PTA will know FRC’s vote, but will not see letter to Paula.
