Review Faculty Positions Submitted for Fall 2024

RAPP received 10 faculty requests in this round. The committee was divided into 3 work groups to review the position requests. Each member received a link to their group assignment and a folder with the position requests for their group to review. Each group included representation from administration, classified professional, affinity groups, students, and faculty. They tried not to put a member in a group with requests from their own department.

Mallory Newell went over again instruction to complete the Personnel Request Prioritization Position Tracking Sheet. In the last meeting Mallory provided in-depth explanation and instruction on the review process. In the October 29 meeting the entire group worked together to complete the Music and Photography Comprehensive Program Review and Feedback forms as part of their training. She reminded the committee that the brief summaries explaining how  they arrived at their ranking will be made public and will be submitted to the College Council.

Meeting Time Conflict

Lydia Hearn acknowledged and apologized to the classified professionals in the room for the time conflict the RAPP meeting had with the open forum scheduled for the classified professionals to meet the presidential candidate. People may still attend the afternoon open forum in person or watch the live stream.

There was not enough time to cancel or change the RAPP meeting.

Small group work

The 3 small groups worked in breakout rooms. RAPP has designated 4 meetings to review and prioritize the position requests. Each position will be reviewed by 2 groups. If the prioritization does not align, the 2 groups will meet to reconcile the ranking.
