议事规则

协调员职位说明及流程

• 将有不超过六个学术小组/单位，每个小组由一名确定的评估协调员领导。Coordinators are not designated to a team based on their discipline/department affiliation and can work with any of the six academic teams. 他们的职责包括监督评估周期中的课程，传播评估信息，进行评估审查，并提供反馈。协调员是通用的，不需要特定于学科/部门。
• 协调员在任何时候都不得同时担任评估主席和评估协调员的双重身份，也不得因职责冲突而接受这两个角色的释放时间/特别任务。
• 协调员从评估委员会内部招聘，并由现任评估协调员和评估主席投票选出。新入职人员必须具备：
  • Served as an active committee member for at least one academic semester during the current year, or
  • 最近完成了完整的4阶段评估周期过程。

职位空缺

• 即将到来的空缺：学期结束-在任期的第三年，没有第二任期的协调员必须表明他们不想再回来的意图。这样就可以确定一个可以跟随即将离职的协调员的新员工，确保无缝的继任计划和连续性。
• 临时替代 – If a coordinator or chair becomes inactive (e.g., leave, resignation), a temporary replacement will be recruited:
  • 首先是评估委员会的投票成员。
  • If no committee members are available, recruitment will extend to faculty peers who have completed the 4-phase assessment cycle or entered its second year.

  临时接替者是当然成员，不投票代替不担任职务的协调员。

暑期班

夏季会议期间不得颁布任何形式的变更、表决或拟议修正案。

Changing Bylaws

• 删除、添加或修改章程的建议可以来自评估主席、协调员或积极参与的委员会代表的全民公决提案。
• 评估协调员或主席必须提交经多数投票成员认可的修正案。
• The Assessment Committee must review proposed amendments within 10 business days during the fall or spring semesters. Recommendations will be provided to the coordinators and chair, with members notified of the proposed language at least seven (7) days before voting.
• 协商一致的修正案将是：
  • 张贴在D2L评估平台至少30天的反馈。
  • Surveyed, reviewed, modified as applicable, voted on, and finalized for publication.

修改的过程

章程或手册的变更可提交委员会进行一读，并在随后的会议上采取行动，但须提前48小时宣布。

通过倡议程序进行修订

• 任何协调员或主席均可提出修正案。
• 对修正案动议的同意必须通过多数投票。
• If approved, the entire committee will participate in the process, following the referendum procedure.

Amending through Referendum Proposal Process

• Coordinators may approve amendment proposals from engaged committee representatives if all voting members are notified at least seven (7) days before action.
• Proposals must be included in the agenda before action.
• Proposals require approval from the majority of serving coordinators and the chair. If a voting member is inactive, the amendment process will halt and resume upon their return.
• Upon approval, a referendum will allow all committee members to vote. A majority of cast ballots will enact the amendment.

Ratification Process

• The document, existing team structures, and bylaws may only be ratified by a majority vote in a closed coordinators meeting.
• Ratification is binding and effective immediately.

Appeal Process

• Faculty members wishing to question policy or recommendations must notify the committee. If unresolved, Faculty Council officers or Local 1600 officers will be consulted.
• Appeals must be submitted within 30 days of the decision, with clear grounds and evidence.
• A Review Panel of three impartial committee members will evaluate the appeal within 10 days.
• The panel will issue a decision within 30 days, which may affirm, modify, or reverse the original decision.
• Appeal records will be maintained and reviewed for improvements.

Absentee Voting

Actions requiring a vote will halt until all voting members are active. Temporary motions may address immediate issues but must go through the full amendment process.

Contingency Clause

• Successor Preparation: Outgoing coordinators or chairs must mentor replacements during their final year to ensure continuity.
• Temporary Replacement: Selected from committee members by majority vote.
• Permanent Replacement: Recruitment is expedited and requires a majority vote within 30 days.
• All replacements adhere to established processes and deadlines.
