The University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents will meet in
regular public session on Friday, December 8 at 1 p.m. in the Parlett Longworth
Moore Library at Coppin State College, 2500 West North Avenue in
Baltimore.
The Board will take action on several agenda items, including:
-
New and revised faculty policies pertaining to annual leave; appointment,
rank and tenure; conduct, discipline assistance and education for substance
abuse; as well as a set of procedures for appealing to the Board of Regents
decisions to terminate tenured or tenure-track faculty members for cause.
-
Proposal by the University of Maryland University College to create a set
of ranks for non-tenure- track faculty focused on teaching and service without

Force.
