Review Panels Formed to Study A03-A05 Matters
Among the recommendations of the ad hoc Personnel Study Committee, appointed last semester by President Stanford to review the classification-reclassification and related problems affecting the A03-A05 employees, was the establishment of two review panels by Dr. Stanford.
A Policy Review Panel has been formed to receive complaints about the general operation of the personnel system and to recommend changes in policies and procedures to the President’s Cabinet and the Academic Deans Policy Council.
A three-member Classification Review Panel has been established to conduct hearings and render judgments on specific appeals by unit heads dissatisfied with decisions t)y Personnel Services concerning classification and reclassification.
Members of the Policy Review Panel are Dean Edward Fox, chairman, Cortland S. Thompson, Gwendolyn Burnes, Susie Stickley and Sim Smith.
Members of the Classification Review Panel are James C. Vadakin, chairman, Fran Monon and Dean M. Robert Allen. Alternate members are Ann Page Roberts and Dean Barbara Buchanan.
