/ CONVERSION OF FACULTY POSITIONS
FROM SESSIONAL APPOINTMENT TO REGULAR APPOINTMENT

 

As you have already been advised, the new Collective Agreement be-
tween the faculty and the College established a Conversion Committee
under Clause 3:02 (k), whose purpose is to recommend to the College
President new regular faculty positions to be converted from present
sessional positions. In addition, the committee is to recommend a
process whereby such recommendations may be reached in future years.

Members of the committee are:

David James (NW) Andy Andrews (NW)
Fran Johnson (S) Bob Lisson (NW)
George Porges (NW) Don Porter (R)
Diana Wegner (R) Marilyn Smith (NW)

- This memo is to request your recommendations for the establishment

of new regular faculty positions by completing the attached form.
Please remember, the Conversion Committee is concerned with reg-
ularizing positions, not people. The standard selection process
will prevail.

We have tried to anticipate the information we think will be most
helpful to us but in case we have missed key points, please feel
free to comment at length under Item 7. Also, for your information,
the committee does believe that flexibility is important, both from
a discipline as well as a College perspective, so we encourage you
to take this into consideration in making your recommendations.

We apologize for the short lead time. However, this information
must be submitted to the Dean's office by January 28 so that the
committee may present its recommendations to the President by
February 28 as required in the agreement.
