style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#3366FF;font-weight:bold'>One of the top
priorities of our faculty senate this year is to address the issue of
credibility of the process of evaluation of teaching. We plan to
critically discuss procedures used for evaluating teaching in our
university. The Academic Life Committee of the senate will hold an open
hearing on that topic on <u>Tuesday, September 26, 2006 at 2:00 PM in STC (new
science building), Room 127</u>. We expect that the hearing will not go
over 60 to 90 minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

attend that hearing and allow us to take note of your ideas relevant to the
evaluation of teaching and ways to improve it. We are hoping to develop a
revised procedure for teaching evaluation by the end of this semester. I
hope you can join our discussion. <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
