2 ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT POLICY STATEMENT (Adopted 2/15/78) As Amended 3/21/79,4/15/83,10/17/83,11/22/83,1/21/1991,1/1992, and 11/5/92 and as approved June 22,1994 and submitted for approval 7/8/96. Subsequently amended 11/21/2010 and resubmitted for approval on 4/20/2012. It is the right, the responsibility, and the privilege of University faculties to participate in the governance of their departments. Fundamentally, what is desirable and intended by the Department Policy Statement is to ensure meaningful participation by department faculties and procedural regularity within departments. It is understood that the ultimate power of decision- making resides with the administration. This Policy Statement is one means by which the faculty of this department make recommendations to Western. 1. DEFINITIONS In these policy statements, the expression "Meeting of the Department Faculty" means a meeting of the board appointed faculty but not including the Chairperson. The expression "Department Meeting" means a meeting of the board appointed faculty with the Chairperson. 2. RULES At all meetings of the Department and of the Department Faculty, no action may be taken unless a quorum is present. Fifty percent of the members (those on leave who are not in attendance are excluded) of the Department of Economics shall constitute a quorum. A simple majority of those present shall be required for action unless otherwise provided in the statement. Every effort will be made to bring all Department business to the meetings held during the Fall and Winter semesters. Business that cannot be postponed will be dealt with at meetings during the Spring and Summer sessions where, after due invitation to attend the meeting has been extended to all members, the members presently teaching (not to exceed the number required to constitute a quorum during the previous Winter semester) will constitute a quorum. Absentee ballots will be accepted in those cases where pre-determined motions are available. Such ballots shall be given to the Department Chairperson prior to Department Meetings, or to the AAUP Council Representative prior to meetings of the Department Faculty. Votes by proxy will not be admissible. 3. DEPARTMENT DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Proposals for changes in undergraduate Economics major and minor requirements shall be referred to the Department Curriculum Committee, which shall submit its recommendations to the Department at a Department Meeting. Changes approved by voting at the Department Meeting are recommendations to the Chairperson. Proposals for changes in graduate degree requirements shall be referred to the Graduate Programs Committee which shall submit its recommendations to the Department at a Department Meeting. Changes approved by voting at a Department Meeting are recommendations to the Chairperson. 1
3 4. ADDITION. MODIFICATION OR DELETION OF COURSES Proposals for adding new courses, changing courses, or dropping courses shall be submitted in writing to the Department Curriculum Committee for undergraduate courses or to the Graduate Programs Committee for graduate courses. (500-leveI courses will be reviewed by both Committees). These Committees shall make a recommendation to the Department about each proposal. Proposals approved by voting at a Department Meeting are recommendations to the Chairperson. 5. DEPARTMENT BUDGET ALLOCATIONS The Department Budget shall be available to each member of the Department Faculty according to procedures specified in the contract. Each year, the Executive Committee shall discuss the needs of the Department with the Chairperson and may submit, to a Department Meeting, recommendations concerning the budget. The Department may vote budget recommendations to the Chairperson. 6. MERIT PAY When merit pay is authorized by the University, the Executive Committee shall recommend to the Department a procedure for the allocation of merit pay. 7. FACULTY TENURE Tenure reviews shall be conducted according to the schedule specified in the Contract. Each faculty member scheduled for tenure review shall be notified of this fact at least three weeks before any meeting is held or other action is taken relating to that member's tenure, and shall be invited to submit records and information to the Department Tenure Review Committee (TRC) for its use in developing tenure recommendations. This committee shall consider this and all other available information, including student and peer evaluations, and shall develop a recommendation for each faculty member being reviewed. The committee shall use the criteria established in the contract in formulating their evaluations. The Chairperson of the committee shall inform the member under review of the recommendation respecting his/her tenure, and the Chairperson of the committee shall report the recommendations of the committee to the Department Chairperson and to all tenured board appointed Department faculty. a. The Tenure Review Committee (TRC): (i) (ii) MEMBERSHIP: The TRC shall consist of all tenured members of the Department except for the Chairperson. QUORUM: Two thirds of the committee shall be necessary for the conduct of business. 2
4 (iii) (iv) CHAIRPERSON OF THE TRC: The Chairperson of the TRC shall be elected at the first meeting of the committee. ABSENTEE BALLOTS: Committee members on sabbatical leave or leave of absence shall be given the opportunity to participate in tenure reviews in person. The Chairperson of the TRC shall inform those members of upcoming tenure reviews. Those members who are unable to attend may give their absentee ballots to the Chairperson of the TRC. In cases of appeal, however, participation must be in person. Votes by proxy are not admissible in all matters of tenure. b Appeal Procedures Within two weeks of notification of the recommendation of the TRC, the individual who is the subject of the recommendation may request the TRC to reconsider its action in his or her case. Not later than one week after receiving such a request, the TRC shall meet to consider its recommendation. The appealing individual may appear at this meeting to speak and/or to supply rebuttal arguments and/or additional information. A second vote of the TRC shall be taken and the number of votes for and against recommending tenure shall be reported to the Department Chairperson by the Chairperson of the TRC. All appeals procedures shall conform with the contract provisions. 8. PROMOTION Promotion reviews shall be conducted according to the schedule specified in the Contract. Each faculty member scheduled for promotion review shall be notified of this fact at least three weeks before any meeting is held or other action is taken relating to that member's promotion, and shall be invited to submit records and information to the Department Promotion Committee (PC) for its use in developing promotion recommendations. This committee shall consider this and all other available information, including student and peer evaluations, and shall develop a recommendation for each faculty member being reviewed. The committee shall use the criteria established in the contract in formulating their evaluations. The Chairperson of the committee shall inform the member under review of the recommendation respecting his/her promotion, and the Chairperson of the committee shall report the recommendations of the committee to the Department Chairperson and to the members of the PC. a. Composition of the Promotion Committee (PC): The Promotion Committee shall consist of all full professors of the bargaining unit faculty of the Department. Each Fall Semester, if the number of full professors falls below five, additional members of the Promotion Committee are to be elected until the Promotion Committee has five members. All bargaining unit faculty of the Department who have tenure and who are not to be considered for promotion during that year may stand for election to the Promotion Committee. All tenured and tenure-track bargaining unit faculty of the Department are eligible to vote. 3
5 b. Chairperson: The chairperson of the PC shall be elected for a one year term at the first meeting of the committee. c. Qualifying Criteria: Qualifying criteria shall be as specified in the contract. The Ph.D. degree is required for promotion to the rank of assistant professor, associate professor, and professor. d. Judgmental Criteria-The three basic criteria for recommending promotion to the associate professor and professor ranks are: (i) (ii) (iii) quality of research quality of teaching professional service Quality of research will be evaluated by the Department's Promotion Committee based on the published articles, monographs, and books of the faculty member. Works accepted for publication will also be considered. Other types of professional service and recognition will also be considered; however, both scholarly activity reflected in published materials and teaching proficiency reflected in student and peer evaluations are essential in being recommended for promotion. The higher the rank to be recommended, the more important will publication performance be, relative to teaching performance and professional service, in the Department's evaluation. Promotion from associate professor to professor shall not be recommended without evidence of substantial publication since the individual's last promotion. Favorable consideration will be given to exceptionally valuable contributions in teaching, to the development of the Department, and in University service-teaching considered to be most important of these three. Exceptional performance in these areas does not obviate the requirement of quality publications. The Department Promotion Committee will, however, not expect as extensive a publication record from such an individual. Likewise, exceptional publication performance does not obviate the requirement for teaching proficiency and professional service. e. Appeal Procedures: Within two weeks of notification of the recommendation by the PC, the individual who is the subject of the recommendation may request the PC to reconsider its action in his or her case. Not later than one week after receiving such a request, the PC shall meet to reconsider its recommendation. The appealing individual may appear at this meeting to speak and/or to supply rebuttal arguments and/or additional information. A second vote of the PC shall be taken and the number of votes for and against recommending promotion shall be reported to the Department Chairperson by the Chairperson of the PC. All appeals procedures should conform with the contract provisions. f. College Promotion Committee Nominations: The Department shall elect its nominees for the College Promotion Committee by secret ballot at a regular or special Department Meeting. A nominee shall be elected from each of the three professorial ranks. Separate elections will be held for each rank and every 4
6 faculty member may vote in each of the three elections. A simple plurality wins the election. The Department then will vote to establish a priority listing among the three nominees. g. Absentee Ballots: Committee members on sabbatical leave of absence, shall be given the opportunity to participate in promotion reviews in person. The Chairperson of the PC shall inform those members of upcoming promotion reviews. Those members who are unable to attend, may give their absentee ballots to the Chairperson of the PC. In case of appeal, however, participation must be in person. Votes by proxy are not admissible in all matters of promotion. 9. APPOINTMENT OF NEW FACULTY MEMBERS When it appears likely that new faculty members will be appointed, the Executive Committee shall recommend to the Department the areas in which new members are needed. A Department Meeting shall recommend priorities. A Personnel Committee consisting of not less than three and not more than five members, elected by the Faculty, shall assist the Chairperson in obtaining candidates for the prospective positions. The Personnel Committee shall select its chair from among its members. The Personnel Committee shall recommend to the Department its choices among the candidates available for each position. Vitae for all candidates shall be available to the department faculty before the Department Meeting at which votes on appointment recommendations will be taken. Candidates recommended for appointment shall be chosen by voting at a Department Meeting. University Equal Opportunity Guidelines shall be followed in all cases. 10. REAPPOINTMENT OF FACULTY MEMBERS The following guidelines shall be followed for faculty on temporary appointments. Dates for notification and action shall be as specified in the contract. As early as possible prior to the termination date for a temporary or term appointment, the Department Chairperson shall inform the faculty member involved whether reappointment is possible. If reappointment is possible, the Chairperson shall invite the temporary appointee to make available to the TRC records and other information for use in its deliberations. The TRC shall submit recommendations for or against reappointment to a Department Meeting, which shall then decide, by vote, whether to recommend reappointment. If the department recommends against reappointment, or if terms and conditions are attached which the temporary appointee wishes to contest, the temporary appointee may appeal for a rehearing at another Department Meeting and may present additional material relevant to reappointment. At this second Department Meeting, the Department shall make its final recommendation concerning reappointment. 5

Original copies and a set of the computer analysis forms shall become the property of the faculty member after the final grades have been submitted. 13. CLASS SCHEDULES The Department Chairperson shall discuss proposed class schedules with individual faculty members prior to the date for submission of class schedules. Faculty members may discuss modifications to their proposed assignments with the Department chairperson; and other Department faculty may provide recommendations to the Chairperson about such assignments EQUITABLE SUMMER TEACHING AND EUP TEACHING DISTRIBUTION I. Basic Rules for Preparation of Equitable Summer Teaching Distribution List 1. Each faculty will inform the Department Chairperson early in the Fall Semester: (a) Whether (s)he is interested in teaching during the next summer sessions; (Yes or No). (b) If answer to (a) is in the affirmative, whether (s)he prefers to teach one or two courses; (One or Two). 7
9 (c) If answer to (a) is in the affirmative, whether (s)he prefers one session over the other; (Yes or No). (d) If answer to (c) is in the affirmative, state his or her preference of session. (e) If answer to (b) is two courses, whether (s)he is willing to accept a split session assignment; (Yes or No). 2. Each faculty will supply the above information to the Department Chairperson in a sealed envelope no later than November 1 of the year preceding. 3. The Department Chairperson will prepare the summer teaching opportunity list in the following priority ordering: (a) Persons who chose to teach but did not get an assignment during the previous year are placed at the top of the list, their relative order following their respective relative positions in the previous year s job opportunity list. (b) Next will be faculty who chose not to teach during the previous year, their relative order following their respective relative positions in the previous year s job opportunity list. (c) Next will be faculty who chose to teach two courses but only had the opportunity to teach one during the previous year, their relative order following their respective relative positions in the previous year s job opportunity list. (d) Next will be faculty who chose to teach only one course during the previous year, their relative order following their respective relative positions in the previous year s job opportunity list. (e) Next will be faculty who taught two courses during the previous year, their relative order following their respective relative positions in the previous year s job opportunity list. (f) Next will be new full-time faculty serving in their first year. 4. The Department Chairperson will present the prepared job opportunity list to the faculty in the Economics Department faculty meeting for verification of the compliance of the equitable summer teaching distribution rules. The Department Chairperson will allocate available teaching opportunities in the manner consistent with the ratified list and will attempt to meet with the stated preferences of the faculty to the extent possible. II. Basic Rules for Equitable EUP Teaching Distribution 1. If a faculty initiates an EUP teaching proposal, (s)he will need to submit the proposal to the Department Chairperson in the Fall Semester and present the proposal at a Department Meeting for approval of the possible offering of the course subject to budget availability and enrollment requirements. The faculty who initiates and develops the new EUP course will have priority to teach that course for five more times consecutively as the opportunity arises. If the opportunity to teach that EUP course arises after such course has been offered for six times, the Department Chairperson will make teaching assignment following the same rule of distribution and rotation as described in the next paragraph. 2. If a EUP teaching opportunity arises from outside of the Department, the Department Chairperson will inform the Economics Department faculty of the opportunity and invite interested faculty to express his or her intention to be considered for the teaching assignment. (a) If this EUP initiated course is a traditional face-to-face course, the Department Chairperson will have discretion to assign a suitable person to teach the course. If more than one qualified faculty member expresses interest in teaching that course, a lottery will be conducted by the Department Chairperson in the presence of the Research and Rotation Committee members to determine the priority order of teaching that course among the candidates. Henceforth the Department Chairperson will use the rotation list so created to make subsequent assignments in consultation with the Research and Rotation Committee members. The maintenance and updating of this rotation list will follow procedure used in preparing the summer teaching rotation list as described in I. 8
10 (b) If this EUP initiated course is an online course and if more than one faculty member expresses interest in teaching that course, the Department Chairperson, in consultation of the Research and Rotation Committee members, will select the faculty for that assignment. In principle, interested faculty with expertise in the subject area of that course and with demonstrated online teaching capability will be considered for assignment. The faculty who is selected to teach that course will have priority to teach that course for four more times consecutively as the opportunity arises. If the opportunity to teach that EUP online course arises after such course has been offered for five times, the Department Chairperson will inform the Economics Department faculty of the opportunity and invite interested faculty, including the originally assigned faculty, to express his or her intention to be considered for the teaching assignment. The same procedure and similar criteria will be used for the subsequent teaching assignments. 14. COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS The Chairperson shall appoint faculty members to the various non-elected committees. The Chairperson shall consult faculty members about their preferences as to which committees they will serve on. After consulting with the Executive Committee, the Chairperson shall distribute the final list of committee assignments. In order to distribute the committee work more evenly no faculty member shall serve concurrently as the chairperson of more than one of the following committees: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Executive Committee Promotion Committee Tenure Review Committee Research and Rotation Committee 15. WORKLOAD a. Objectives: in adopting this policy statement the Department seeks to accomplish the following objectives: 1. conformity with the contract between WMU and the AAUP 2. full and effective service from all faculty 3. balance among teaching, research, and governance responsibilities 4. fair distribution of workload b. Definitions: The normal workload for teaching faculty shall be as specified in the contract.

For all 300 and 400 level courses (except for Economics 484) workload credit of three hours shall be given for teaching the basic size class which shall have scheduled enrollment of from 35 to 40 students. For scheduled enrollments that approximate twice that size, an additional workload credit of one hour shall be awarded. Economics 484 is a writing intensive course and shall have maximum enrollment determined by university policy.
