Agenda

OFFICER AND COMMITTEE REPORTS

  1. Executive Committee: Letter on Garrett Felber
  2. Treasurer
  3. Ad hoc Committee on COVID-19
  4. Other officer and committee reports (Committee A, Committee on Gender and Sexuality, Committee on Media Management, Committee on Outreach and Communication)
  • Ad Hoc Committee and Committee on Outreach and Communication do have projects pending; Committee A may have a report; Gender and Sexuality and Media Management may have announcements

OLD BUSINESS

  1. Resolution on HE Boards (see Minutes, 24 October 2020)
  2. Dues subsidy program (Secretary Thomas Miller, Treasurer Kevin Cope)
  3. Membership (President Leslie Bary). We are about to break 250 members, nearly a 50% increase over membership in summer 2018. If we have 251 or more at institutions with chapters, we get a second delegate to the national convention. We are very close. Let us (a) replace everyone who retires or moves with two new members and (b) create chapters where there are none. These are realistic goals and they will make a difference.

NEW BUSINESS

  1. Faculty Retirement ORP: update on LSU lawsuit (Kevin Cope, Roger Laine)
  2. Academic freedom, particularly in the context of faculty handbooks and tenure/promotion policy (language on “respect” and collegiality). There was a recent discussion of this at Cambridge University and AAUP has a clear position on it, however, such language is increasingly present in our handbooks and increasingly difficult to remove (Jana Giles)
  3. Anything else from the floor
