<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><HTML><FONT SIZE=2 PTSIZE=10 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">For people currently undergoing merit review I want to call attention, without further comment from me at this time, to the following provision of the current MOU:<BR>
<BR>
Article 22.E.2a The University shall provide to the UC-AFT proposed changes to campus merit guidelines at least a month prior to finalization. The University will begin to apply changed guidelines to individual NSF only with the beginning of the NSF's merit review cycle.<BR>
<BR>
Article 22.E.2b The University shall provide to the UC-AFT proposed changes to departmental review procedures at least a month prior to finalization. Upon request of the UC-AFT, the University shall meet with the UC-AFT to discuss the effect of the proposed merit procedure changes before the University implements such changes.<BR>
<BR>
I'm happy to discuss any issues on the phone with anyone. I do have one question here, though, in order to avoid duplicate postings: who-all receives messages to this listserve? Are the writing/comp directors and/or the chair on it? staff?<BR>
