UNF faculty is locked in a battle with the university’s board of trustees over the details of soon-to-be implemented five-year post-tenure reviews.
Tenured faculty have long been subject to annual reviews, but later this fall, about one-fifth of them will be the first to undergo the new five-year post-tenure review process, which was just put into law earlier this year.Mark Halley with the UNF chapter of the United Faculty of Florida told Action News Jax the sticking point right now is a lack of employment protections for faculty that have been rated as effective in recent years.
The faculty union at UNF reports five percent of the university’s permanent faculty left in the last year.Union leaders fear without securing employment protections in the five-year post-tenure review process the exodus could be compounded. “Throughout our negotiations, we have agreed to implement significant protections for our faculty in the post-tenure review process,” UNF President Moez Limayem said in a letter sent to faculty Wednesday. “We will continue our cooperative and open lines of communication with UFF, and I remain hopeful in our ability to reach agreement on the remaining issues.”
