COACHE work groups requesting faculty feedback

The Office of the Provost will host a town hall meeting at 4-5 p.m. Monday (Nov. 7) in Stewart Center, Room 279, to discuss findings of three faculty work groups that have been delving into the Purdue COACHE survey responses.

The town hall, to which all faculty have been invited, will be moderated by Jessica Huber, professor of speech, language, and hearing sciences, and provost fellow for faculty affairs working on the COACHE program. Teams of associate-level, women and underrepresented minority faculty will share their insights and recommendations in these areas:

* How does Purdue improve communication, transparency and fairness at the department level?

* How does Purdue improve recognition for the contributions of associate-level faculty and clarify the process for promotion to full professor?

* How does Purdue increase opportunities for recognition and advancement of women and underrepresented minorities and promote inclusion of women and underrepresented minorities in decision-making across the university without increasing their workloads?

Faculty are encouraged to join the discussion to help develop future Purdue initiatives. Refreshments will be served. 

The event will be webcast at http://www.kaltura.com/tiny/rx38s.

The following email address has been created to take questions or comments before, during and after the town hall event: COACHEresponse@purdue.edu.

Faculty may provide additional feedback via a Qualtrics survey, which will be distributed after the town hall event.
