Agreement reached on strategic plan
The central employees' council and the joint student-staff council (the GV, the university's consultative body) have approved the Strategic Plan for 2011-2014.
There will also be an investigation into whether a new method of evaluating courses is needed. To date, this is done through questionnaires, but the GV says this is really more of a satisfaction survey that a way of measuring didactic quality (sympathetic teachers are evaluated more positively). It works OK as a way of identifying problems in education, but it is not a good instrument for assessing the quality of the teachers (which is necessary for the Tenure Track career trajectory). It has been agreed that both improvements to the existing system and new instruments will be considered.
