Department/Program Chairs and Coordinators Sample Clauses

Department/Program Chairs and Coordinators. The responsibilities of chairs and coordinators vary depending on department or program needs. A full list of tasks that may be associated with the position are in the most recent issue of the Deans’ Guideline: Alternate Time for Program/Department Management. The chair and/or coordinator(s) is responsible for the work of the department, including supervision of adjunct faculty; however, deans are responsible for supervision of full-time faculty. The Council of Chairs and Coordinators (COCAC), a committee of the Faculty Senate is the shared governance body that represents the interests of chairs and coordinators. All department/program chairs and coordinators, including the chair of the library faculty and student development coordinator are members of the Council and are expected to attend COCAC meetings and participate in its work. One responsibility of COCAC is participation in the full-time faculty hiring process. For detailed information on the hiring process, see the current version of the Deans Guideline - Full-time Faculty Hiring Process.
