Committee members expressed similar concerns related to the adoption of online course evaluations. There was some discussion of how the evaluation instrument might be improved; there was some discussion of how evaluations are used in the material submitted by faculty members for promotion decisions. There was some discussion of the value and reliability of evaluations: a committee member suggested they are valuable for making promotions decisions, while other committee members suggested that evaluations can be corrupted by disengaged or vindictive students, and another argued that it is impossible to measure phenomena such as sexist and racist bias in evaluations data.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It remains unclear whether we will hold a Faculty Forum on 4\/25 as scheduled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Administration has scheduled a number of meetings involving the Faculty that interfere with scheduled faculty meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ben Fine will give a talk about student athletes at the end of FA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There will be a discussion of whether the College should pay for OER.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The College supports a one-semester sabbatical for outgoing FAEC Presidents; FAEC hopes the Faculty will endorse this measure to entice more faculty members to participate in FAEC.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Martha Ecker discussed the New Jersey statute regarding tenure.
