Roden had distributed a draft plan for advance registration of transfer students at a previous meeting. She asked for questions or concerns from the deans. Following discussion, Mosbo asked Roden to incorporate suggestions and present a revised plan at a future COD meeting.

A question recently came up regarding the policy on waiving years of credit toward tenure that were awarded with the initial contract. After examination of files in the Provost's Office, Mosbo developed the following statement:

John Mosbo, Sam Buchanan, and Melissa Rust met on Wednesday, February 21, 2001, to examine a memorandum from Bill Berry to mathematics faculty. The memorandum indicated that faculty who were employed at the time of the memorandum (May 6, 1996) would be allowed to waive their year(s) of credit toward tenure. The three (Mosbo, Buchanan, and Rust) further determined that any faculty member who started fall 1996 also would be allowed to waive years of credit toward tenure. The latter was based on the possibility that those faculty may have been informed by deans and chairs that waiving years would be allowable. However, any faculty member hired after fall 1996 would not have the option of waiving years of credit that were awarded with their initial contract.

Following discussion, the deans agreed with the intent of the statement.

Mosbo distributed a proposal on early tenure recommendations that had been endorsed by the Faculty Senate. The proposal follows:

A tenure-track faculty member may request an early tenure recommendation if he or she has received a written offer of appointment with tenure from another regionally-accredited college or university. The offer must be signed by a dean or higher level administrator. (Early tenure recommendation means prior to the sixth year, including any years of credit awarded with the initial contract.) All proceedings with respect to a regular tenure application will be followed except for the accelerated time frame. Early tenure applications will be handled in an expeditious manner but with due consideration given to each file. The provost will place on file in the library, at the end of the academic year, a list of all persons and their respective departments who were granted early tenure.

Following discussion, McNiece moved to recommend the proposal. Roden seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
