At one of those meetings, in February 2010, she http://chronicle.com/article/Terminal-Year-Granted-to/141145/?key=TWIgIlNpZSJLbXwyaz1BZTkHPHxsNRp7MSNFaXklbl9WEQ==[8/22/2013 1:55:18 PM] 'Terminal Year' Granted to Those Denied Tenure Can Be Awkward, if Not Risky - Faculty - The Chronicle of Higher Education Campus Viewpoint opened fire, killing three professors and wounding three others. Her gun jammed Information provided by participating institution when she pointed it at Ms. Moriarity, ending the killing spree. There is no better place to be right now than Texas Tech Like most academics who are denied tenure, Ms. Bishop was granted a final year University. Not since the university was founded in to stay on at the university. The official reason for the "terminal year," as it's 1923 has there been such opportunity or known in the profession, is that tenure decisions are often made in the spring, momentum. Graduate and undergraduate enrollments are at record... when faculty job openings for the following academic year have already been filled. To give people on their way out enough time to search for another post, View Campus Viewpoint almost all colleges pay tenure-track professors to continue teaching and performing research for another year. The longstanding policy, a concept unique to academe, is endorsed by the American Association of University Professors and spelled out in the association's 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure. But the terminal year, while rarely as treacherous as it proved to be in the Huntsville case, is often a painful and uncomfortable time, both for those who are on their way out and those who remain. Few universities offer guidelines to help lame-duck professors deal with the rejection, navigate their final year in a department that no longer wants them, and chart a future. A wrongful-death lawsuit filed against former Huntsville administrators by relatives of two of the three tenured professors Ms. Bishop killed calls into question the wisdom of the terminal year. It alleges that Huntsville's top administrators knew Ms. Bishop was volatile during that time and protected themselves from confrontations with her but failed to take steps to safeguard her colleagues from danger. Ms. Bishop was sentenced last year to life in prison for the murders. Lawyers for the university's former provost, Vistasp M. Karbhari, who is now president of the University of Texas at Arlington, have asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, saying there is no evidence that top administrators knew Ms. Bishop http://chronicle.com/article/Terminal-Year-Granted-to/141145/?key=TWIgIlNpZSJLbXwyaz1BZTkHPHxsNRp7MSNFaXklbl9WEQ==[8/22/2013 1:55:18 PM] 'Terminal Year' Granted to Those Denied Tenure Can Be Awkward, if Not Risky - Faculty - The Chronicle of Higher Education was dangerous before the killings. But Douglas Fierberg, a lawyer for the relatives of the slain professors—Adriel D. Johnson and Maria Ragland Davis—updated the lawsuit with a filing last month that provides phone records as well as recordings of calls that he says support the suit's allegations. In the new filing, Mr. Fierberg and other lawyers for the relatives accuse university administrators of not only ignoring the safety of others on the campus but also trying to cover up the steps they took to shield themselves by calling campus police. "Bishop's later rampage was not only foreseeable," says the lawsuit, "it was foreseen by those who protected themselves and no one else." Little Guidance Ms. Bishop's case is clearly unique. Not only was the outcome extreme, but she had a violent background. The same year she committed the Huntsville murders she was indicted for the 1986 shooting death of her brother, which had previously been considered accidental. Her lawyer has said she has long suffered from mental illness. "While it is true that you can get an Amy Bishop, most people spend their terminal year doing the best they can to complete their responsibilities and look for another job," says B. Robert Kreiser, who retired this month as a senior program officer at the AAUP. "And it doesn't cause harm to the institution." But that doesn't mean that universities couldn't do a better job of helping professors deal with tenure denial. Robert Meier, director of the employee- assistance program at Ohio State University and president of the International Association of Employee Assistance Professionals in Education, says his office offers group sessions to help young professors make their way through the strain of trying to earn tenure. But Ohio State, like most other universities, provides no formal program for those who ultimately fail. When professors who've been denied tenure do come to his office for help, says http://chronicle.com/article/Terminal-Year-Granted-to/141145/?key=TWIgIlNpZSJLbXwyaz1BZTkHPHxsNRp7MSNFaXklbl9WEQ==[8/22/2013 1:55:18 PM] 'Terminal Year' Granted to Those Denied Tenure Can Be Awkward, if Not Risky - Faculty - The Chronicle of Higher Education Mr.

  • Coping with the Delineation of Emerging Fields: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology As a Case Study
    Coping with the delineation of emerging fields: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology as a case study. Journal of Informetrics, forthcoming; v. December 20,2018 Teresa Muñoz-Écija, Benjamín Vargas-Quesada, Zaida Chinchilla Rodríguez* Abstract Proper field delineation plays an important role in scientometric studies, although it is a tough task. Based on an emerging and interdisciplinary field —nanoscience and nanotechnology— this paper highlights the problem of field delineation. First we review the related literature. Then, three different approaches to delineate a field of knowledge were applied at three different levels of aggregation: subject category, publication level, and journal level. Expert opinion interviews served to assess the data, and precision and recall of each approach were calculated for comparison. Our findings confirm that field delineation is a complicated issue at both the quantitative and the qualitative level, even when experts validate results. Keywords: Field delineation; Science classification; Research topics; Bibliometrics; Scientometrics Highlights: This study offers an updated literature review of NST as a delineated field. We provide an extended and unified NST search strategy suitable for two databases, Scopus and Web of Science. After formulating a conceptual framework as to how to employ different approaches described in the literature, we tried to delineate the NST field at the journal level through a seven-step procedure. Three approaches —at subject category, publication and journal levels— were adopted to explore and analyze these two databases. The results are compared, and we offer a detailed explanation of the topics related to the journals included in each level. At the publication level, we compare the potential of the micro-field classification system developed by Waltman and van Eck (2012) with the other two approaches.

  • 2019 School Accountability Report Card
    Ceres High School School Accountability Report Card Reported Using Data from the 2018-19 School Year Published During 2019-20 By February 1 of each year, every school in California is required by state law to publish a School Accountability Report Card (SARC). The SARC contains information about the condition and performance of each California public school. Under the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) all local educational agencies (LEAs) are required to prepare a Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), which describes how they intend to meet annual school-specific goals for all pupils, with specific activities to address state and local priorities. Additionally, data reported in an LCAP is to be consistent with data reported in the SARC. • For more information about SARC requirements, see the California Department of Education (CDE) SARC web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/sa/. • For more information about the LCFF or LCAP, see the CDE LCFF web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/. • For additional information about the school, parents/guardians and community members should contact the school principal or the district office. DataQuest DataQuest is an online data tool located on the CDE DataQuest web page at https://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ that contains additional information about this school and comparisons of the school to the district and the county. Specifically, DataQuest is a dynamic system that provides reports for accountability (e.g., test data, enrollment, high school graduates, dropouts, course enrollments, staffing, and data regarding English learners). Internet Access Internet access is available at public libraries and other locations that are publicly accessible (e.g., the California State Library).
