WHEREAS UAH will soon institute a system of maintaining annual Faculty Activity

Reports in electronic form accessible from the Worldwide Web, and

WHEREAS Faculty Activity Reports become part of the faculty member’s official personnel file as referred to in section 7.7 of the Faculty Handbook, and

WHEREAS it is of the utmost importance that the confidentiality of personnel records be maintained in an electronic environment,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT

the new online reporting system will not come into operation until appropriate measures, as determined jointly by the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and the Provost Office, are in place to insure that these reports will be available only to those chairs, deans, and other administrators whom the Handbook currently specifies as having legitimate reasons for access.
