Re: THE TENURE ISSUE

The tenure issue has been addressed by the Professionalism Committee 
(I chair it).  We are posting on the CEDA - Web page a link to the  
products of this committee.

Three items will soon be posted.

1. A TENURE AND PROMOTION DOCUMENT.  We read and reread the Roost 
document and found it impressive.  We changed a few things to make it 
more CEDA friendly, e.g., outlets for publication.  Personally, I 
used the document to secure T&P at South Carolina.  I suggest you 
look at it.  Furthermore, we need workshops on T&P for young coaches. 
 Before you take a job, it is imperative you review the extant T&P 
document for the unit you are thinking of joining.  While negotiating 
employment, you might want to make sure that the Roost document is 
appended as a support document to your T&P file and negotiate this in 
advance.  Finally, I suggest we set up a workshop at the upcoming NCA 
or next year's.  We would examine this issue and offer advice.  
Instead of dozens of programs which no one seems particularly 
interested in attending, this type of panel would be useful.

2. MERIT PAY DOCUMENT.  This document is designed to be shared with 
departmental committees and chairpersons.  It describes the 
procedures which can be used for alloting merit pay.

3. IMPACT OF TOURNAMENTS ON LOCAL ECONOMIES REPORT, PART 1.  This 
document is a work in progress.  Part 1 examined three tournaments: 
South Carolina, SIU and Nats.  It is useful because it shows some 
relationship between tournaments and local economies.  An update is 
being planned and will include tournaments at: MTSU, Alabama, Emporia 
and UNLV.

AN ADDENDUM - We must learn to promote our programs.  Chairpersons 
and deans aren't going to see the light unless we switch it on.  That 
is the mandate of this committee.

Toiling for a better world! Live the glory!
