Adjudication Panel Seeks Staff Reps
Nominations of UW staff members interested in serving on the University faculty’s adjudication panel are being sought.
Three staff members, to be selected by Human Resources, will be named to the panel, which includes at least 36 members. When disputes under the panel’s jurisdiction arise involving or affecting a non-academic staff person they would be heard by a subpanel of five faculty and two staff members.
Adjudication panels are a means of resolving disputes involving faculty members that cannot be resolved informally. Procedures for the panels are established by the faculty and set out in Chapter 28 of the Faculty Code. The faculty, in a 1994 revision to the code, added six staff and six student members to the panel. The code requires that representatives be “full-time employees with at least three years’ experience at the University of Washington” and states that “officers and board members of organizations representing University employees are ineligible for appointment.” Previously, there was no staff or student representation.
Additional criteria established by Human Resources for staff nominees are:
Ability to evaluate issues objectively, articulate that analysis and advocate for that position;
Experience in considering issues and attempting to reach consensus through group process;
Interest, time and energy to serve on what may be a time-consuming assignment;
Familiarity with the faculty/academic/research environment;
Sensitivity to issues of diversity; and
At least three years of experience on staff at the University of Washington and ability to commit to serve for a three-year term.
If you are interested in nominating yourself or another staff member or appointment to the University faculty’s adjudication panel pool, contact Jennifer Wallace in Human Resources, Box 354554 or call 685-4711 for a nomination form.
