  • A Weekly Newsletter for the Faculty and Staff of Western Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina December 6, 1979 DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS PLANNED The annual series of departmental meet­ings with Chancellor Robinson will begin soon after the new year, with this year's sessions concentrating on faculty evalu­ation. Each year since he became chan­cellor, Dr. Robinson has devoted much of the spring session to meeting with each academic department. "I've found these sessions to be among the most valuable and helpful that I participate in, Chancellor Robinson has said. "It affords me an opportunity to hear directly from faculty members and their department heads and to discuss with them objectives, concerns, and plans." Tn preparation for this year's round of meetings, department heads are being asked to be re ady to discuss in some detail the faculty evaluation procedures being followed. An objective of the discussions is to hav e set forth clearly department by department the actual pro­cedures being utilized, with the expec­tation that these discussions can assist in identifying ways in which the evalu­ation procedures might be strengthened and improved. Hopefully, too, the round of departmental discussions can lead to better understanding of evaluation de­cisions. Accompanying Chancellor Robinson will be Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Robert E. Stoltz, This year, the dean of the school in which the department is located will be invi ted to join the meeting.

JOHN SLATER ACCEPTS DAVIDSON POSITION John Slater, who came to the University in the summer of 1970 as assistant director of public information, will become director of communications at Davidson College in January. When the Office of Public Information began The Reporter some years ago, John became its chief honcho, re­linquishing the editorship to Mim Matus earlier last year. In a variety of other assignments, John -2- has proved himself a capable and talented member of the staff and of the university community. The oppor­tunity to head the pr ogram at Davidson is one John felt he could not decline, and sorry as we are to lose him we are delighted that such a fine college recognizes his abilities. —Doug Reed NAMES IN THE NEWS COLLEEN JAKES (assistant to the Chan­cellor) served as a judge in the annual Western North Carolina Community Development program in Asheville, Nov. 13-15.
