Mission

We, the members of the North Central State Faculty Association, have organized in order to support the college’s values, vision and mission statement. We offer a strong independent,  unifying voice in an effort to create an environment of mutual respect in which faculty knowledge and expertise are valued.

Goals:

• To offer a strong and independent collective faculty voice, one that will be heard.
• To put academic concerns back at the center of any dialogue that concerns the direction of the college.
• To transform what has become an adversarial relationship between faculty and the administration into a collaborative relationship built on mutual respect.
• To address inequalities in the way the college develops and implements policies and procedures so that all faculty can be equal partners in support of the college’s mission.
• To demand clarity and accountability from the administration whenever policies and practices are being developed, implemented, and enforced.
• To ensure that faculty approval is sought whenever faculty positions are being created and filled.
• To ensure that faculty input is sought whenever management positions are being created and filled, particularly when the position is that of Chief Academic Officer at the institution.
