pending: none \par \par \par III\tab Comments from Chancellor, Marshall Lind - \par \par President Hamilton will be giving his State of the Univers ity address to the Finance committees of the House and Senate on Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m. The theme of his presentation is: It's Working! He will be talking about the progress that the university has made as a result of their help over the past fou r years. \par \par The Commonweath North organization out of Anchorage that is interested in statewide policy issues recently completed a report on the University of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ statewide system. They came out with a series of recommendations on how the University is doing in responding to state needs. The report can be found on the web at: www.commonweathnorth.org. Chancellor Lind encouraged everyone to go to the Executive Summary and look at the key findings. They speak to a number of issues that we will hear a b out during the legislative session. It's a good report. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ comes out quite good. One area they caution us about is to keep balanced in terms of teaching and research. They also encourage us to do what we have been doing in terms of taking money from the state legislature and leverage it to bring in additional dollars. They make the recommendation that the state legislature need to continue to support the University. They also talk about the importance of the Centers of Excellence. \par \par Chancellor Lind indicated that the enrollment increases are looking very good. The fall to fall retention and the fall to spring retention is up. We are seeing a continued increase in graduate students. Overall the spring enrollment is up about12% over last year. Fall enrollment was up 11%. Applications and acceptances for next fall are also up. Scholarship applications are up. This is a good indicator of growth. The Deans and Chancellor's list have been released for fall 2002. Students receiving a 3.5 and 4.0 are included on the lists. The numbers for students receiving a 3.5 have gone up from 568 to 630. \par \par Two weeks ago the Board of Regents met in Juneau. They approved several construction projects. The first one was the Museum--it is moving forward. We need ed authority to increase the amount of money for the project by $1.75 million. They also approved the plan for the West Ridge Research Building. Anticipate it to be completed Summer 2004. We are continuing to do planning for the BiCS building. There a r e a number of new board members and we need to go back to them and give them an update on the various functions that will be located in the building. That will be done at the meeting in June. The Board approved a change to the name of the museum to Univ ersity of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Museum of the North. SALRM received a name change as well to School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences (SNRAS). \par \par We are not sure where the budget will come down with the legislature. We know that with all indications it will b e tight. The Governor will give his budget address later in the week. We have to look at all the pieces, especially as it related to the money from the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Science & Technology foundation. In the past we have receive funds from them in lieu of gener a l funds of over $2.3 million. Most of that has gone directly to the School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences, particularly to Palmer. There is some question on how that will play out. We'll be watching that one closely. It will be an inte resting and challenging session for the university. \par \par Larry Duffy asked about plans to look at the need for classroom and lab space for teaching that are needed as a result of the increased enrollment. The Chancellor indicated that the new buildings will result in some shifting and may result in some classroom space. \par \par \par \tab Comments from Provost, Paul Reichardt - \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Paul Reichardt added that a few months ago a survey of instructional space was done. At no time is more than 80% of the classroom space is used. They will be looking more closely at the results to understand the data. \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {The Initiative Review process: We have received summary reports on each of the 150 initiatives that have been launched systemwide over the last three years. Approximately 50 wer e at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. SAC is overseeing a review of them with the idea of sorting them into three piles. The green light pile is for those we feel are successful and should continue to receive support. The recommendation will be to move it to base budget and no lo n ger scrutinized under the review process. The red light pile will be for those that do not warrant continued support. The middle orange pile is for those that say it's too early to determine whether it's successful and we will continue to monitor. SAC i s meeting tomorrow to look over the entire set and confirm some tentative assignments for further review. The initiatives that are related to information technology will be review by the IT Council for their review and recommendation to SAC. Those that are related to research will be sent on to Vice-President Dorman for a similar review and comment. The Health related one would go to Karen Purdue. The workforce initiatives will be sent to Wendy Redman. By the end of March they will report back to SAC, at which point SAC will have review the remaining initiatives. In April SAC will make recommendations to the President. \par \par SAC has been asked to make two reports to the Board of Regents' in April. One is on Ph.D. education. It will report on the numeric al data for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ over the last several years in terms of enrollment and degrees granted. There will be a section on what it takes to carry out a successful Ph.D. program; a section on the budgetary impacts; and a section on potential collaboration among t h e universities. One area that he could use some help is on the aspects of what it takes to deliver a Ph.D. program. If anyone has information from other organizations or institutions on what size of faculty, library facilities, and other types of infras t ructure it take, he could use that information. The second report is on teacher preparation. SAC has yet to talk about what the elements are, but it should include enrollment data, a summary of program changes that have taken place, some response to the question of what are we doing to address the problems that rural ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ see in terms of recruiting and retaining teachers, and how are we responding to No Child Left Behind. This is in part background for the Regents for a June meeting between the Board of Regents' and state Board of Education. \par \par Larry Duffy spoke about the lack of involvement of faculty in the review groups on the Initiative Review. Provost Reichardt indicated that they would all come back to SAC and he felt that a large percentage of th e initiatives would be moved to base budget. \par \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par \tab Guest Speaker - Earlina Bowden \par \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Earlina Bowden, Assistant to the Chancellor for Campus Diversity and Compliance, addressed the Faculty Senate members about equal employment opportunity. Her job is to make sure we, as a university, follow all laws and regulations relating to equal employment opportunity and to develop the affirmative action program every year. She is responsible for measuring where we are with regard to actively increasing the representation of protect ed classes within the staff of the university. To do that she has asked to be invited to every school within ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ to include the rural campuses to give instructions in equal employment opportunity and affirmative action. Staff play a critical role in ens u ring that at the end of the year, when we do statistics and review where we are, we are making more strides toward equal employment and extending opportunities to individual of protected classes. We are doing targeted recruitment and any other positive s teps we can to make this university truly more diverse with regard to the population. \par \par Faculty have a key role in ensuring that with every recruitment for faculty that we are doing as much as we can to outreach to non-traditional locations, that we are t argeting minority university systems and colleges, through your contacts at conventions, and that you encourage individuals of other ethnic groups and those in protected status to apply for positions in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. In looking at the numbers we are still under-represented for females. Females are the largest percentage of the workforce today within the United States. \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {The material handed out was structured to include employer liability to ensure that our workforce and learning environment are free and clear of any discriminatory actions. This is based on federal standards. Everyone is considered an agent of the university and is therefore liable for discrimination. The other part of the packet is the faculty's responsibility to help us achieve the goals of the affirmative action plan. \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Godwin Chukwu asked Earlina Bowden to address the issue of department chairs responsibility in regards to equal employment and harassment. Earlina Bowden indicated that she is also responsible for dealing w ith complaints of discrimination. Most complaints of discrimination are totally preventable. The Department chairs and Deans are responsible for the learning and working environment. Faculty need to recognize inappropriate actions. If you see or are a w are of inappropriate actions, you have responsibility to take immediate action. When speech has a negative impact on other individuals or when that speech is discriminatory or harassing, then it crosses the line. Then someone has the right to say they h a ve been discriminated against. If they say the professor did nothing to stop the behavior, that makes us liable. There is a very clear line. The standards are very clear. It is called the reasonable person rule. If a reasonable person could be offend e d by what has happened or what is said, you have a responsibility to take action. It could be as easy as saying, "You need to correct your speech or you are being offensive." You should error on the side of could someone be offended by what they are see ing. We need to keep this environment comfortable for everyone who comes in. \par \par \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par \tab Steve Tate - Bookstore - \par \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Steve Tate is the textbook coordinator at the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Bookstore. It is his job to ensure that the textbooks arrive in a timely manner for the start o f class. The adoption deadlines for textbooks for spring semester is October 1, for summer it is March 1, and for fall semester it is April 15. This affects textbook buy back immensely. If you turn your adoptions in on time it gives students a chanc e to sell textbooks back at the end of the semester. They are given a 50% refund on books that are adopted. It also gives the bookstore an opportunity to buy more used books, which saves the students money. Another concern is being able to contact faculty over the summer break. If they have an email address or phone number they can contact you if there is a problem obtaining your order. He overall goal is to improve the communications and relations with the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Bookstore and faculty. \par \par Many facu lty members have asked about the book return policy for the spring semester. Because of the space limitation they have, textbooks are returned during the first week of February. If a book will not be used until later in the semester, please contact him a t 474-5778 and he will hold the book. Freight charges are assessed to department for late book adoptions. This policy was implemented in the fall for orders received after June 30th. If you have any questions or concerns about how the Bookstore is r un you can speak to Steve Tate or the Bookstore manager, Becky Phillips. \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par \par \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {IV\tab Public Comments/Questions - none \par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright { \par \par \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {V\tab Governance Reports \par \par \tab A.\tab President-Elect's Comments - P.

We need to select one person to be on the Distance Educators Award Committee. \par \par Concerns from the faculty that have come forward during the past few weeks have been forwarded to the appropriate committees. The student miscond uct issue has been referred to the Faculty Appeals & Oversight Committee. The issue regarding a definition of discipline or unit will be forward to the Faculty Affairs Committee and to the Faculty Appeals & Oversight Committee. A memo regarding a resolu tion on the war in Iraq that is being debated at the University of Oregon has been forwarded to the Faculty Affairs Committee for its recommendation. \par \par Larry Duffy indicated that with the new entrance to the campus, people would not see the American flag and ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ flag that flies above the Bunnell Building.

This is in response to the No Child Left Behind act requiring us to establish a mandato ry education requirement for teacher aides. This degree program represents one of the three options available for certification of teacher aides. There are a large number of teacher aides throughout the state and this would support those within the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ area.

It is similar to the one introduced at the last meeting. Permission of instructor has been added. Also provided in the rationale statement are comments from the Core documents concerning "W" courses. Joa n Leguard asked if the English Department was consulted. Doug Schamel indicated that there is a representative from the English Department on the committee. Mark Box stated that he felt that the English Department has no opinion on the matter. Joan Leguard asked if the committee had contacted departments that offer "W" courses. Doug Schamel indicated that his committee is composed of members from a variety of departments that offer "W" courses and they support the motion. Larry Duffy a sked how this would be monitored to know which students have not met the prerequisite. There is a report that is available to faculty. Larry Duffy also comments on the need to involve more faculty in looking at all the changes to the Core. Godwin Chukw u pointed out that it is the responsibility of the Senators to disseminate information to their faculty. All meetings are public meetings. Ron Illingworth indicated that the Curricular Affairs Committee supports the motion. Last year the committee worke d to make sure that prerequisites accurately reflect what is needed for students to be successful. He also spoke about the committee's concerns about allowing students to take courses out of sequence that is associated with prior knowledge and by doing so we are not helping the students to succeed. Dan Odess spoke in favor of the intent of the motion but expressed concern if there is enough sections of ENGL 211/213 for all students.

Some of these courses are more-or-less equivalent, \par \tab \tab in terms of breadth and depth of coverage, to upper-division \par \tab \tab courses at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ that satisfy the ethics core requirement. \par \tab \tab Some lower-division ethics courses taught outside of the \par \tab \tab UA system, however, are not equivalent to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ ethics \par \tab \tab courses. It is manifestly unfair to transfer students to \par \tab \tab retake a course already taken outside of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. However, \par \tab \tab there is no simple mechanism to identify which lower-division \par \tab \tab ethics courses are equivalent. Hence, the Philosophy Chair \par \tab \tab is the designated gatekeeper. \par \par \tab \tab The Core Review Committee routinely routes all petitions \par \tab \tab for an ethics course to the Philosophy Chair for review and \par \tab \tab advice. The Philosophy Chair often defers recommendations \par \tab \tab to other departments offering ethics courses.

Members present included Mike Hannigan, Wanda Martin, Rainer Newberry, Carol Barnhardt, Gayle Gregory, and Ron Ill ingworth. \par }\pard \qj\widctlpar\adjustright { \par The committee discussed the following items. \par \par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {1.\tab Prerequisites for "W" courses. The committee agreed with the concept expressed in the enabling documents that established the core, that writing well is a cumulative process. The committee bel ieves that we cannot expect students to retain and build on the writing skills they have learned in required English courses unless they continue to receive instruction in writing during subsequent years of their undergraduate training. Offering continue d writing practice and evaluation beyond the first two years is an essential part of this concept. "W" courses depend on an established foundation developed through completion of English 111X and English 211X or 213X. Therefore, it is essential that thes e courses be clearly identified as prerequisites for any person attempting a "W" course. Consequently, the Curricular Affairs committee moves to co-sponsor with the Core Review committee the motion to establish Engl 211X and Engl 213X as prerequisites for all "W" courses. The motion was approved unanimously. \par \par 2.\tab Mandatory Placement. A motion was forwarded from the Developmental Studies Committee that would establish a mandatory placement policy for ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students based on a current assessment of students\rquote l evels of preparation in math, written English, and reading. This motion comes with a request for co-sponsorship and is one of the recommendations resulting from the external evaluation of the developmental program at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. Three of the professional organ izations that focus on underprepared students (NADE, AMETYC, and CRLA) all include as policy statements their support for mandatory assessment and mandatory placement. \par \par }\pard\plain \s22\widctlpar\adjustright \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\f4\cgrid {\hich\af7\dbch\af4\loch\f7 Wanda Martin raised a related issue re tests and if there is any policy regarding the \hich\af7\dbch\af4\loch\f7 recency of submitted test scores. This question will be forwarded to the Developmental Committee for their consideration. \par \par }\pard\plain \widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {Some concern was expressed regarding the implementation of this policy if approved. The external reviewers recognized this issue as well and recommended implementation over a 2 year period to accommodate the changes that would be necessary. \par \par Given the small number of attendees at the meeting, it was determined to continue this item to the next committee meeting for further discussion. \par \par 3.\tab Ron Slominski, Registrar and chair of the subcommittee on academic disqualification, provided an update on the status of their work in this area. Ron reported that Claudia Clark, Dean of Enrollment Management and the Provost have revised the disquali fication statement in the catalog to more closely mirror the actual senate statement. The new version that will appear in the 2003-2004 catalog will read as follows: \par \par "Undergraduate students on probation, whose semester and cumulative GPAs are less than 2 .0 at the end of spring semester, may be disqualified from degree-seeking status. As a disqualified student, you may only continue your enrollment at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ as a non-degree student and are limited to a maximum of nine credits per semester. To be eligible f or reinstatement in an academic degree program, you\rquote ll normally be expected to earn at least a C grade in all courses taken as a non-degree student. You must apply for readmission when you want to be restored to degree-seeking status." \par \par This item will be continued to the next meeting for further discussion. \par \par 4.\tab A request from the Faculty Senate Governance office for clarification of rules surrounding "prerequisites" was discussed. The main concern here was expressed in the question of what does it mean to "complete" the prerequisites for a course. Does this mean any grade other than an "F" or "I" or "W"? Is an "I" ok? Does it mean you must have a grade of "C" or better, as the Math department requires? Does it mean any grade from "D" on up? A second que stion involves enforcement. Banner is not currently set up to sort out students with grades at a certain level in the prerequisite sort. Other than an explicit statement by Math at the beginning of their section of course descriptions, there were very f ew instances in the catalog that addressed this issue. \par \par }\pard\plain \s22\qj\widctlpar\adjustright \loch\af0\hich\af0\dbch\f4\cgrid {\hich\af7\dbch\af4\loch\f7 This item will be continued to the next meeting for further discussion. \par \par }\pard\plain \widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {5.\tab Finally, the issue of contact hours for internships and practicums was introduced for initial discussion.

Ann volunteered to chair the committee and Shunpu Zhang, Gerry Berman, and Lee Haugen agreed to serve on this sub-committee as well. Several issues regarding a possible policy were discussed and will be considered for inclusion in the draft policy. \par \par 3. The Sub-Committee on the Faculty Mentoring Program, Joy Morrison (chair), Paul McCarthy, and Brian Barnes met on February 18 (George Charles contributed written comments) and produced the following set of recommendations: \par \tab a. That Facult y Development continues to host a luncheon for new faculty and their assigned mentors each fall semester. Deans/directors insist on attendance at this luncheon. Guidelines and expectations for mentoring will be discussed then. A Handbook on Mentoring w ill be given to each new faculty member. \par \tab b. That deans/directors seek out senior faculty volunteer mentors who will be given Service credit on their Workloads to meet at regular intervals with a small group of new faculty in the spring semester. Small gr oups of new faculty will be assigned to each of these mentors depending on their discipline. \par \tab c. A template of the Annual Activities Report be added to the Orientation Kit for new faculty so new faculty know what to expect at the end of the year. \par \tab d. The senior mentors have examples of Annual Activities Reports, and the 4th year reviews to show to their groups of new faculty. \par \tab e. Both the mentors and mentees report on their meetings in their Annual Activities Report (AAR) and that a section be added to the online AAR template for this information. Also a section be included in the Narrative about mentoring meetings. \par \tab f. A training workshop be offered in fall for all mentors. \par \tab g. Either the formal or informal mentor should assist the new faculty member with preparation of the AAR up to the fourth year review. \par \par During discussions of this report an additional item was added to this list of recommendations: \par At dean/director level a list of new/junior faculty members and their mentors will be maintained. \par \par A motion was proposed and seconded to move this set of recommendations forward for approval by the Faculty Senate. This motion was unanimously approved. Therefore, this set of recommendations will be formatted as a motion to be presented to the Faculty Se nate for approval during the April 7 meeting. \par \par The Sub-Committee on the Faculty Mentoring Program members are commended for a job well done!! \par \par 4. Abel Bult-Ito reported on Code of Conduct issues that were discussed during a Faculty Appeals and Oversight Co mmittee meeting on 19 February 2003. Most of the discussion centered around faculty members filing Code of Conduct violations against students that are subsequently ignored because no timeline has been established for timely consideration. The Faculty A ppeals and Oversight Committee will be working on revising the relevant regulations to include a timeline that will ensure timely consideration of Code of Conduct violations by students. \par \par Subsequent brief discussion reiterated the importance that new faculty members be informed about student and faculty Codes of Conduct, which can be found on the Provost's web site. Tom Robinson added that he puts parts of the Student Code of Conduct language from the course catalog in his course syllabus to remind students of their obligations. Others on our committee found this a good practice. \par \par 5. The Faculty Development at ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Annual Report and Provost Paul Reichardt's response to this report was discussed. As was clear in Paul Reichardt's letter, guidelines for facult y-travel awards need to be established. Our committee is directly addressing this issue by starting to draft a Faculty Development Travel Award Policy (see 2). Issues related to an appropriate budget for the Office of Faculty Development was discussed. Channon Price pointed out that the Faculty Senate passed a resolution on the establishment of an Office of Faculty Development last year, in which budgetary suggestions were made. This resolution can be used to guide the development of an appropriate bud get. Abel Bult-Ito suggested to Joy Morrison that she prepare a draft of a budget for review by our committee. \par \par 6. Joy Morrison had several announcements regarding upcoming events. They include: \par \tab a. Today: A CPA from a local tax company will provide "tax deductions for educators" information in Gruening 306 at 1 p.m. \par b.
