A bill requiring performance evaluations for Kentucky's public university.

Presidents and faculty also cleared the House this week.

State Representative James Tipton, a chair of the House Post-secondary Education Committee is the sponsor of House Bill 424, the bill requires faculty performance reviews every 4 years and makes it easier for universities to fire employees.

Representative Tipton says this bill is not intended to strip away a faculty member's tenure.

>> He's talking about the comments that I've heard about not showing up to work on time.

Not showing up to work it out.

>> Refusing to teach an in-person class.

Refusal to teach and online place and things of that nature that any employer would expect any employee to perform tenure refers to things like freedom of speech, freedom of expression, political expression, academic freedom.

We're not talking about those things here.

The intent of this is to if we actually have someone who just honestly not doing their job this in a lot of times, I have difficulties in making these removal process.

Its goal of this is so we have a more efficient, more effective system of public education for students across the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

>> Attracting professors and recruitment and retention is at an all time concerning point.

And this is something that our professors affil is unnecessary, that there already is systems in place for oversight.

>> House Bill 424, past with 78.

Yes votes and 17, no votes.

It now heads to the Senate for further consideration.

There.
