AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 75 of the General Laws to provide certain rights to faculty members at the University of Massachusetts during the tenure review process. Specifically, the bill allows the University's Board of Trustees to hold executive sessions to consider the award of tenure to a faculty member, but requires the faculty member to be notified in writing at least 48 hours prior to the proposed executive session (unless waived by agreement). The faculty member has the right to be present during the executive session, have counsel or a representative present, and speak on their own behalf. The bill also requires the Board to hold an open meeting if the faculty member requests it.
