The author of the report recommended that the Committee on Faculty Promotions and Salaries at Elm City University should offer a promotion and a raise in salary, in the consideration of protecting Professor Thomas leaving to other colleges, which is compelling at first glance. The author cited the popularity of Prof. Thomas in the students and her ability in gaining research grants. Careful examination of the evidence, however, reveals several logical flaws in the report.
First, although her classes are among the largest at the university, the committee needs more details about her classes. It is entirely possible that her classes are all compulsory one, which compel the student to attend. And the condition of the students in her classes is another factor need to be considered. If most of the students do anything other than listening, we cannot conclude that she is popular in the students. On the contrary, such condition may undermine her reputation. Therefore, without the sort of all her classes and the response about her classes from her students, the author cannot ensure the committee.
Second, the author noted that the money she has brought to the university in research grants has exceeded her salary in each of the last two years, which did not reflect that her ability to get research grants. It is possible that the grants her get in recently two years are the only money she had ever got in her seventeen years' application. Even if she had the enough ability to get research funds, lacking of the specific sum of the grants she brought to the university, however, we cannot decide whether a $10,000 raise is reasonable.
Third, the author provided no evidence that could support the promotion. All the material in hand did not indicate that Prof. Thomas held that ability to be a Chairperson in the Department, although she was famous in students and able to earn research funds, if any. Therefore, the author needs to offer more information about her ability to be the Department Chairperson.
To sum up, the report of the committee need complementary information to ensure the committee accept the advice of the report. Without the details about the classes of Prof. Thomas, the committee cannot accept her popularity among students. And Lacking of the overall information about her application and her ability, the raise in salary and promotion is unreasonable.
最后还对Prof. Thomas 会不会离开Elm Univ.有个讨论, 但不知道该如何说。
大家有什么意见?
