April 9, 2001

  1. The minutes of the April 2, 2001 AAC meeting were approved.

  2. The AAC passed a motion to create an additional tenure-track position for the Department of History that would be attached to Charlotte Borst as long as she will be at Union College. By doing this, Charlotte Borst will be made “tenurable” and her rank will be that of professor. This position will remain with the Department of History as long as Professor Charlotte Borst, Dean of Arts and Sciences, is employed at Union College. Upon her departure from the college, the tenure-track position in the Department of History will cease to exist unless specifically authorized by the Academic Affairs Council.

    An assurance was requested that this position would not influence present or future tenure-line allocations in the History Department.

  3. The committee discussed possible improvements to the trimester system.
