The Discussion Team

Utah Code 53B-2-106 authorizes the President to “2(d) to enact rules for administration and operation of the institution which are consistent with the prescribed role established by the board, rules enacted by the board, or the laws of the state.”

The Board of Trustees has authorized the President to establish the Discussion Team as a joint Administration/Faculty team empowered to provide recommendations to the Provost regarding full-time faculty compensation and workload. The team consists of two co-chairs, the Senior Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, and the Faculty Association President. Members of the Discussion Team include a Dean, an Associate Dean, the Director of Faculty Services, Faculty Association Vice President, Faculty Senate President, and Faculty Senate Vice President. The team meets as needed to draft proposals for review by the Provost for possible inclusion into the Full-Time Faculty Handbook for Compensation and Workload. Once Provost approval is received, the updates will be published on the Provost Office and Human Resources websites.
