Hotlines for Reporting Absentee and Tardy Teachers

The Office of the Chancellor has released guidelines and a list of contact information that will allow students to report absenteeism and tardiness among the faculty.

The guidelines are as followes:

1. Students are encouraged to use these hotlines in calling the attention of the dean concerned about faulty members who are frequently absent or tardy.

2. The dean is enjoined to act on the report of the student(s) within five (5) days and, whenever possible, to give the student(s) feedback on the action he has taken.

3. If after five (5) days the dean fails to act on the report, the student is advised to call the Chancellor's hotline for this purpose.

4. Students are requested to limit their reports or complaints to the following issues:

a. faculty members who do not meet their classes regularly;

b. faculty members whor eschedule their classes permanently wihtout authorization from the Dean's office;

c. faculty members who come to class late for more than three time, and with 'late' being defined as coming in later than ten minutes after the start of the official class time;

d. faculty members who are not available during the scheduled consultation hours for more than two times; and

e. faculty members who dismiss their classes to early, i.e. earlier than 15 minutes before the scheduled end, or too late, i.e., later than 15 minutes after the scheduled end.

In making these reports, students must cite specific facts, such as the name of the faculty member, dates when he/she was absent or late, number of times that he/she was absent or late, class schedule and classroom number. This will facilitate the verification of the complaint.
