FACULTY GOVERNANCE. A. The Federation, as elected bargaining agent, retains the exclusive right to negotiate and reach agreement on all matters pertaining to wages, benefits and terms and conditions of employment. Without waiving this right, the Federation recognizes the desirability of some form of democratic faculty governance in areas of academic concern. Such faculty governance shall be implemented through a Faculty Assembly on each campus, consisting of all faculty and ranked librarians only. Presidents and their representatives may request and shall be granted invitations to meetings of the assembly and its committees to present and discuss administrative proposals in the areas listed in C. below.
B. The existence of the Faculty Assembly as an instrument of faculty governance shall not preclude the President from holding a reasonable number of faculty meetings, with reasonable notice in cases other than emergencies.
C. Recognizing the final determining authority of the President, matters of academic concern shall be initiated by the Faculty Assembly or by the President through the Faculty Assembly which shall consider the matter and respond within a reasonable time. Such matters shall include:
1. The selection of department chairperson, program coordinators or other instructional academic unit coordinators, to be elected periodically by secret ballot by members of that unit. Department chairpersons and program coordinators shall be elected by the full department or academic unit. All regular members of the academic unit, including those on sabbatical or leave shall have the right to vote in such elections. In the event that the President believes the selection is not in the best interest of the College, he/she may veto the selection and a new election will be held to select a different candidate which may also result in a Presidential veto. The duties of the chairperson are delineated in Appendix H of this Agreement [NOTE: This probably refers to Appendix G of the 1999-2003 Full-time Faculty Agreement. The duties of the department chairperson are now set forth in Article 25 of the Full-time Faculty Agreement 2004-2010]. The President shall retain the right to remove the chairperson from his/her position for failure to carry out such duties satisfactorily. In such a case, the above procedure shall be used in selecting a replacement.
