Agenda Item 3.E: The graduation list was approved by the Senate on a voice vote. (See Resolutions Passed 80-19.) UNFINISHED BUSINESS Agenda Item 4: There was no unfinished business. REPORT OF COMMITTEES Agenda Item 5.A: The report of the Committee on Educational Policies and Planning was presented by Professor Patricia Daugherty, Chair. She said the committee has met seven times during the year. In the fall the committee was concerned about its relation to the Planning Commission and its role in the Planning Process now under- way. Resolutions relating to this concern were considered by the Senate and eventually, on December 11, 1979, a resolution clarifying the relationship to the Planning Commission was approved by the Senate. The committee reviewed and made recommendations concerning the Philosophy and Goals statement of the Planning Commission, and the charges of the Subcommissions on Academic Programs, Student Service, and Public Service. Minutes of Task Forces have been made available to the committee. Vice Chancellor Moore met with the committee and explained the steps in the process of budget development and the budget format. Vice Chancellor Meyer met with the committee and reviewed the proposed student fee budget increases. Chancellor Brewer has kept the committee informed on progress in the development of the budget. The committee discussed the feasibility of developing a statement of principle relating to the role of faculty participation in salary and budgetary matters for inclusion in the Faculty Manual. An ad hoc committee is being formed to consider this suggestion. Agenda Item 5.B: The report of the Calendar Committee was presented by Professor Carl Heckrotte (see attachment to agenda). Professor Heckrotte referred to the Calendar for Summer School 1982, Fall Semester 1982, and Spring Semester 1983. Brinn questioned the dates of summer sessions and possible effects on public school teachers returning for the summer. Haskins asked if the School of Education had any summer program for public school teachers. Levey said that in the first sessio classes are scheduled in late afternoon and evening to accommodate public school teachers. The Summer School 1982 Calendar was adopted by a voice vote. (See Resolutions Passed 80-20.) The Fall Semester 1982 Calendar was considered. Brett Melvin asked why a fall break was not scheduled, since this was a concern of the Student Government Association. Heckrotte said the committee had considered a Fall Break but had decided that it would be too disruptive to the schedule. Faulkner spoke against a Fall Break. Smith said that the pre-registration period for a subsequent semeste: should be later in a given semester. Students sometimes express an interest in taking a course after they have been in a current semester longer than our pre- registration allows. Hough said that it would be a definite advantage for students to have pre-registration after mid-term examinations. Hursey moved that the dates October 11-15 only be removed entirely, leaving the words "Pre-registration Spring Semester'' without a date. The motion was adopted. Hough moved that the dates a October 4-15 also be deleted, leaving the words "Change of Major," as these dates historically have been connected with the pre-registration dates. The motion was adopted. Hursey moved that the calendar be adopted and recommitted to the Calendar Committee with instructions to insert later dates. The motion was seconded and adopted on a voice vote. (See Resolutions Passed 80-21.) Steele said that there was no examination time for 3 hour classes meeting on Thursday. Muzzarelli said that undergraduate night and Saturday classes should have final examinations during exam week like graduate courses do. Adler moved that the examination schedule be recommitted to the Calendar Committee with instruc- tions to provide an examination time for 3 hour courses meeting on Thursday, and to consider including undergraduate night and Saturday classes in the graduate exam- ination schedule for such classes. The committee should report back at the next session. On a voice vote the motion was adopted. (See Resolutions Passed 80-22) Ferrell moved that the Calendar Committee circulate its proposed calendars to the general faculty and have a hearing before they are submitted to the Senate. The motion was seconded. Woodside moved an amendment to exempt the Spring Semester Calendar of 1983. The amendment passed on a voice vote. The motion as amended was adopted on a voice vote. (See Resolutions Passed 80-23.) Smith moved to delete the dates February 21-March 4 (Change of Major) and February 28-March 4 (Pre-registration) from the Spring Semester 1983 Calendar, and that the calendar be recommitted to the Calendar Committee with instructions to provide those dates. when they are clear. The motion was seconded. Schmidt moved an amendment to advance the calendar so that classes would begin on Monday, January 10th instead of Friday, January 7th. This would delete one Friday and one Saturday from the schedule. Faulkner supported the amendment. South, Ryan, and Woodside spoke against the motion. On a voice vote the amendment failed. The Spring Semester 1983 Calendar as amended.was adopted and recommitted to the Calendar Committee for insertion of later dates for "Change of Major" and ‘'Pre-registration." (See Resolutions Passed 80-24.) Adler moved that the 1983 Spring Semester Examin- ation Schedule be recommitted to the Calendar Committee until the next meeting of the Senate with instructions the same as for the 1982 Fall Semester Examination Schedule. The motion was seconded and adopted on a voice vote. (See Resolutions Passed 80-25.) Agenda Item 5.C: The report of the Faculty Governance Committee was presented by its chair, Professor Donald Sexauer. Sexauer said that according to Resolution 80-17 the Faculty Governance Committee has been charged to give the Senate a preliminary report on the problem in unit codes where a personnel committee hears appeals on their previous action. The committee has taken the matter under consid- eration. Concerning the constitutional amendment, page A-2 of the Faculty Senate Constitution deals with ex officio members of the Faculty Senate. The present ex officio membership includes the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor for Administration and Planning, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, and one additional member elected by the Administrative Council in a manne: determined by the council. Under the new administrative structure, there is no Vice Chancellor for Administration and Planning, nor a Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs. The amendment is being presented now in order to place it on the agenda of the General Faculty meeting next August. Jones asked why the Vice Chancellor for Student Life is not included. Sexauer said the opinion of the Faculty Gover- nance Committee was that ex officio members with vote should be administrators with academic responsibilities and duties. Adler moved to include the Vice Chancellor for Student Life in the list of ex officio members to the Faculty Senate. The motion was seconded. Woodside spoke against the amendment. Grossnickle spoke for wi Ga the amendment. Rasch noted that the Senate is increasing in size of administration participation without increasing the number of faculty representatives. The Chair clarified that there will be two additional elected senators for next year, a tota’ of 52. Sadler asked if this amendment would reduce the number of ex officio membe. from five to four. The Chair said that is correct. On a voice vote, the proposed constitutional amendment was amended to add the Vice Chancellor for Student Life. (See Resolutions Passed 80-26.) Agenda Item 5.D: The report of the Committee on Committees was presented by its chair, Professor Eugene Ryan. Ryan presented the charges for the Continuing Education Committee and the Faculty Affairs Committee. The Committee on Committees recommended a change in the Faculty Affairs Committee by increasing the number of faculty members from 6 to 8, and the quorum from 3 to 5 faculty members exclusive of ex officio. The proposed charge of the Continuing Education was presented for a first reading. Ward said the Division of Continuing Education has some questions regarding this proposed charge and moved that the charge be recommitted to the Committee on Committees. Ryan seconded. Woodside noted that the same problem exists here as with a previous charge; the faculty could be outvoted by the ex officio members. The motion to recommit the proposed charge of the Continuing Education Committee was adopted by a voice vote. (See Resolutions Passed 80-27.) The Faculty Affairs Committee charge was presented for a first reading not to be voted on until the next session. Ryan presented the Committee for Teaching Effectiveness charge, included in the agenda for the February 26 meeting, and said that Vice Chancellor Maier had asked that his concern about this charge be conveyed to the Senate. He expressed his reluctance to agree that this charge is acceptable due to the fact that survey material would be restricted to the faculty member involved. He mentioned in his letter to Dr. Sayetta, dated February 18, 1980, that this material will eventually be used in personnel evaluations along with other considerations and hence must be available to unit department personnel committees, unit department chairmen, deans, the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and the Chancellor. Ryan said that Vice Chancellor Maier understands that the survey results and Appendix C are closely related. If the Senate would postpone action or send it back to the Committee on Committees there would be time to work out these issues. There is not going to be a survey in the foreseeable future and nothing would be lost by sending it back to the Committee or postponing consideration of it until a later date. Faulkner spoke in support of taking a vote. She said that in the Senate meeting of February 27, 1979, which was 13 months ago, the senators had a letter from Dr. Brewer dated February 26, 1979, which said that any survey results would be used for both self-improvement and for personnel decisions along with other sources of information; that the personnel committees of the various departments and schools would have access to the survey if an action is contemplated on tenure, promotion, or rehiring, and that if an administrator above the Chairman or Dean wishes to see the survey information it would be in the presence of the Chairman or Dean. Faulkner raised four questions that still are not answered. (1) What is the work- ing definition of confidentiality and by what means will the committee carry out its charge to "assure confidentiality?" (2) How valid is the instrument designed for self-improvement when it is used for making judgments about matters like tenure and promotion (there is a big body of research that indicates that you cannot use the same instrument for self instruction as you use to make judgments about promo- tion, tenure, etc.)? (3) What is the formula by which the results are tabulated? (4) Will a faculty survey or a vote in the Faculty Senate decide whether an evalua- tion becomes compulsory and whether its results can be used for any purpose except the purpose for which the instrument has been developed? Faulkner moved the A previous question. The motion failed. Muzzarelli said that the committee has had to act in defense of how the instrument is going to be used and it is not their prerogative to do that. The revised charge presented to the Senate simply instructs the committee to devise an instrument for teaching effectiveness to be shared with the instructor. If an administrative mandate determines that it will be used also for issues of tenure and promotion, then the faculty should address itself to the administration and not to the committee. Ferrell said at the present time the arguments of Faulkner and Muzzarelli are sufficient to ask for postponement of the present charge simply because very substantive issues have been raised. The issue is that the machinery of assessing teaching effectiveness is presently housed in a committee of the Faculty Senate and that machinery obviously needs adjustment and tuning. The other issue of how it is to be used is really not the Teaching Effec- tiveness Committee's concern--that lies in Appendix C. The issue of Appendix C is a separate one. Since there is no opinion survey this spring, the Senate should postpone the present charge until Appendix C spells out how it is to be used. The Chair said that Vice Chancellor Maier does agree that Appendix C should be in force before any use of student opinion surveys is considered in personnel matters. The Vice Chancellor also understands that there is strong faculty feeling about the matter. Ryan said that now it is a question of tactics, should the Senate draw back at this point and try to work out something. He would like to see something worked out in tandem with Appendix C. Sadler disagreed. Adler called the question. A quorum was called and established. The revised charge for the Committee for Teaching Effectiveness was adopted by a show of hands, 20 to 10. (See Resolutions Passed 80-28.) The charge of the Career Education Committee was presented by Ryan. The Committee on Committees would like to recommend the charge with the change in the number of members on the committee from 7 to 8 and a quorum of 5 faculty members exclusive of ex officio. The charge of the Career Education Committee as revised was approved by a voice vote. (See Resolutions Passed 80-29.) NEW BUSINESS Agenda Item 6. Professor Ryan asked for the Senate's approval to present a resolu- tion that would give Faculty Assembly delegates who currently are ex officio members of the Senate without vote the prerogative of voting in the Faculty Senate. Adler said it is an inopportune time to present it, it should be placed on the agenda in advance, The motion to add the resolution to the agenda failed on a voice vote. There being no further business in the seventh session of the Faculty Senate in its fifteenth year adjourned at 4:55 p.m. Rodney Schmidt Secretary of the Faculty Patsey Woolard Faculty Senate Office Secretary +.
