Faculty Organization |
|
|
|
The two most prominent faculty
structures at CMU are the
Academic
Senate and the
Faculty Association, which collectively bargains with the administration to
establish standards and expectations of employment.
The Academic Senate's
constitution
is quite broad in scope, covering many conceivable issues of interest to
faculty. These issues are both
curricular
and non-curricular
in nature.
The Central Michigan University Faculty Association (CMUFA)
is an organization of educators that represents the economic and professional
interests of CMU's faculty in collective bargaining. Established in 1969 by a
vote of the full faculty, the CMUFA was the first collective bargaining agency
for a four-year public institution of higher education in the country. The
CMUFA
Constitution describes how this non-profit corporation conducts business.
The most recent contractual agreement between CMUFA and CMU applies until June
30, 2008. The CMUFA-CMU
contract makes department bylaws the ultimate criteria in tenure and
promotion decisions.
