Deans to meet, discuss policy on merit recommendations
Members of the University Faculty Executive Committee plan to meet with the deans of all the schools to discuss policy for faculty special merit recommendations.
Susan Twomby, professor in the School of Education, said the committee wanted people to know what the rules were and how the recommendations were given out.
Ray Davis, University Senate Executive Committee chair, said the committee would look into the process because the committee charges say it has the responsibility to look into issues of interest to SenEx and FacEx.
The meeting with FacEx and the deans will take place next Tuesday.

Two churches report thefts for second time in past year
The St. Lawrence Catholic Center and the Ecumenical Christian Ministries reported burglaries some time after 10 p.m.yesterday.
Father Vince Krische of St. Lawrence said that a door had been tampered with and some drawers had been gone through, but nothing was missing. He said this was the second time this had happened in the last few weeks, but nothing was taken either time.
Thad Holcombe of ECM reported that $40 cash and personal checks of $280 were taken from a safe. A doorknob to the United Methodist campus office was also damaged, but Holcombe said it was an unsuccessful attempt to get into the office. He said that this was also the second time ECM had been broken into, the last time occurring in October 2003.
Holcombe said this incident was minor compared to October, but they would still be implementing new security measures.
