NOTICE OF A FACULTY FORUM

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2009
4:00-5:30 PM

SALOMON 001

SUBJECT: Tenure and Faculty Development Policies at Brown

SPONSOR: The Faculty Executive Committee (FEC)

The Faculty Executive Committee is sponsoring a faculty forum to discuss Brown’s current Tenure and Faculty Development Policies.  This issue has gained urgency partly prompted by the newly released NEASC Report and the Ad Hoc Committee to Review Tenure and Faculty Development Policies recently appointed by Provost David Kertzer.

The ad hoc committee plans to meet with various faculty committees seeking faculty input as well as to arrange meetings with Department Chairs. This forum is meant to provide a wide-ranging discussion of this critical issue, involving as many faculty as possible from across the University.

The FEC strongly encourages you to attend and make your views known. The charge to Ad Hoc Committee to Review Tenure and Faculty Development Policies is available at

MOTIONS: Formal motions are not in order at a Faculty Forum.

REPORTING: Reporters are welcome to attend under the same restrictions governing regular faculty meetings.

Refreshments will be available at 3:50 p.m.
