The fourth annual Workshops for Department and Division Chairs will take place in four regions of the country in winter and spring, 2005. The workshops, designed to serve both experienced and new chairs, will focus on personnel issues such as conflict resolution, having difficult conversations, preventive law and legal issues of hiring and firing, non-renewal of contracts, and working with the chief academic officer.
     Campuses are encouraged to send
several department chairs as well as chief academic officers, deans, and associate deans who work closely with chairs, so that teams can work together on challenges of department leadership.
