UW-Madison Proposal on Faculty Layoff Policy
The University of Wisconsin-Madison University Committee approved a proposal outlining faculty layoff policies Monday. The policy, written by an ad hoc faculty committee, replaces Faculty Policies and Procedures (FPP) Chapter 10 and is consistent with American Association of University Professors (AAUP) guidelines. The committee was formed in July after tenure protections were removed from state statutes as part of the 2015-17 state budget.
The proposal will be presented to the Faculty Senate on October 5. A second reading and possible vote could be scheduled as early as the November 2 senate meeting. The proposal must also be approved by the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents.
Three campus listening sessions for faculty have been scheduled:
- 8:30-10:30 am, September 29, Room 1306 Health Sciences Learning Center
- 5-7 pm, September 30, Room 1220 of Microbial Sciences
- 5-7 pm, October 1, B10, Ingraham Hall
