2002 Merit Committee
Procedures
6 Oct
03 - The
following accounts describe the procedures that merit committees in
various Faculties followed in the 2002 exercise. It should go without
saying that these accounts do not imply that those who helped compile them
approve of merit pay, whether in principle or in practice. Instead, the
intention is to show some of the varied ways in which merit committees
have arrived at their recommendations to Deans.
Because
the procedures a Faculty / College / Library adopts are pretty much up to
the discretion of its YUFA members and because the procedures seem to
differ considerably from one Faculty to another, those who are elected to
their Faculty's merit committee(s) in 2003 might find some precedents for
ways in which their own procedures might be improved.
Descriptions
of 2002 Merit Committee Procedures in other units would be very welcome.
If you or a YUFA colleague wish to submit an account of your unit's 2002
Merit Committee Procedures, please contact Jay Rahn (jayrahn@yorku.ca
or 416-736-5236) by Friday, October 10. To provide guidance for the 2003
Merit Committees, YUFA plans to post these on this page of the website
before this year's merit committees begin to assess members' applications
(i.e., before October 15).
In the
meantime, thanks to Jay Rahn, Ellie Perkins, Arthur Hilliker, Bridget
Stutchbury, Robert Simms, Keith Aldridge and Wojtek Janczak for their help in compiling the following descriptions of 2002
Merit Committee Procedures.
