OFFICE OF THE FACULTY SENATE

Annual Report of the Faculty Senate for 1983-84
140 Rawl Annex - -

East Carolina University

The General Faculty met on August 22, 1983 and passed three resolu~ —
tions carried over from the Senate in 1982-83. These resolutions (speci-
fied below) were approved by the Chancellor and appropriately presented
to the General Faculty as called for in the Constitution of the Faculty
Senate, in that therein certain powers are retained by the General Faculty.
In 1933-34,the Faculty Senate met eight times in regular session and once

in an organizational meeting (April 18, 1984) for the 1984-85 academic
year. This annual report is divided into the following sections:

I. Actions by the Senate in 1983-84 and the Chancellor's response
II. Summary of academic and faculty senate committee work for
1983-84 with a listing of projects and topics carried
over for 1984-85
III. A Statement of priorities and goals for the Faculty Senate
in 1984-85.

The annual report is being distributed to the Chancellor and the Vice Chan-
cellors presently, as well as to all Deans. In the Fall, it will be
distributed to all faculty senators and al? chairs of faculty senate and
academic committees.

The following resolutions were approved by the General Faculty on
August 22, 1983:

(Senate Resolution 82-76:) "The Chair of the Faculty may delegate
his or her seat on any of the academic committees."

(Senate Resolution 82-78:) "All full-time faculty members of East
Carolina University are eligible to vote for representatives to the
Faculty Senate. All full-time faculty members of East Carolina Uni-
versity in at least their second year of appointment to the unit which
they would represent are eligible for election to the Faculty Senate."

(Senate Resolution 83-22:) -"The General Faculty shall have as its presid-
ing officer the Chair of the Faculty, who shall be responsible for
calling its meetings and for keeping a record of its proceedings."
Also: revise Section III (Faculty Senate Constitution) by replacing
"Vice Chancellor for Administration and Planning" in line three with
“appropriate Vice Chancellor." revise Section IV by deleting "Vice
Chancellor for Administration and Planning" in line two and also re-
place “or upon petition to the Vice Chancellor for Administration and
Planning" with "or upon petition to the Chancellor." Delete "Vice

Chancellor for Administration and Planning" from paragraph 5, line 3
of Section V.

NOTE: The above recommendations regarding unit codes have received action.
Specific changes are listed in the Faculty Senate office. See
Part III below for a summary statement regarding Unit Codes.

Actions and Continuing Work of Faculty Senate and Academic Committees:

There are 24 such committees (19 academic committees plus the three
committees on grievance --Hearing; Due Process; Reconsideration--and
the two Faculty Senate Committees).

The committees on grievance did not meet in 1983-84. The two Faculty
Senate committees performed effectively in setting the agenda for the
Senate meetings and helping to insure that items reaching the floor
of the Senate had been properly deliberated beforehand (Agenda) and
in recommending to the Senate a list of committee candidates based on
interest, years of experience in the relevant areas, commitment shown
on previous committees and breadth of representation (Committees). These
committees are to be commended for their good work.

1983-84 Annual Report, Faculty Senate

Lastly, the Ad Hoc Screening Committee On Unit Codes worked to approve
(and the Senate approved) three new codes (Geology, Medicine, Army ROTC).
This hard-working and long-lasting committee is nearing the end of its
assignment: a code from the Department of Political Science will fulfill
the charge, once it is approved, and the Governance Committee will take
over the task, entirely, of passing on unit code revision requests from
the various units.

The other 19 (the Academic) Committees are considered as follows:

(1) ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE: The Admissions Committee reviewed its charge
with the Committee on Committees and it was determined in 1983-84 that
Admissions would heretoforward pass on the proposed admissions stan-
dards for new degree programs, something the University Curriculum
Committee had graciously done until now. The charge of Admissions
lists this as part of their work. The Committee acted on 228 appeals
in 1983-84 and recommended that the University support the GenAmin's
policy draft on setting minimum admission criteria for the whole Univ
system. The Committee also recommends that those past members request-~
ing a second term be allowed such in that it takes a term to get a
clear understanding of the catalogue requirements and retention periods
so central to the Committee's work. Carried Over: the prospects of
quota recommendations on foreign students; recommendation possibility
re TOEFL exam for int] students transferring within the USA to ECU;
Further thought about exceptions to mirimum adm’ssions standards to
go into effect in 1988 (adults, higher standards, etc?)

This committee is to be commended for the long hours of detailed
work required. A pool of very dedicated committee members has developec
over the years to handle these important and timé-consuming tasks.

More than the usual committee assignment, this one is demanding.

More specific actions are to be found noted in the Minutes for 1983-

84. Officers for 1984-85 are encouraged to review those Minutes.

CALENDAR COMMITTEE: This committee performed the important tasks

of bringing to the Senate recommendations concerning the calendar

for Commencement, 1984; Fall Break 1985; Summer School 1986; and

Fall and Spring,1986-87. All recommendations were approved, excepting
the recommit on Fall Break, 1986 regarding which the Senate has asked
for a calendar which will include a two-day Fall Break. The Committee
will report in the Fall, 1984 with such a recommendation. Officers for
1984-85 are encouraged to review the 1983-84 Committee Minutes.

CAREER EDUCATION: The Committee has worked to designate career educa-
tion coordinators for most units. Also, a long-standing effort to
produce a Career Education. Profile booklet is nearing success. The
Committee recommends that this booklet be up-dated every two years in
coincidence with the new catalogue and that distribution logistics

be assumed by some administrative office on campus. Carried Over:
overseeing the printing and (by recommendation to the Senate) the
distribution of this booklet. The Chair of the Faculty is asked to
attend the first Fall meeting to discuss committee work. Officers

for 1984-85 are encouraged to review the Committee Minutes for 1983-84.

1983-84 Annual Report, Faculty Senate

(4) CONTINUING EDUCATION COMMITTEE: The Committee was in the previous
year the source for the now functioning Evening Programs Advisory
Committee (EPAC) idea and this year kept abreast of developments
there. That committee and this one recommended that the responsibility
for organizing and promoting the Yening degree programs be assigned
to the Division of Continuing Education, specifically the University
College. It is clearly understood that the acéemic responsibility
for the programs will rest with the deans and, through them, with
the departmental chairs. The Division of Education will be responsible
for promotion, recruiting, registration, and other logistical assis-

tance needed by the evening students. The program will begin in the

Fall 1984 and the Committee (and EPAC) is gratified by the cooperative

spirit manifested by all quarters. Carried Over: continued interest

in the evning program development; discussion of two illustrations .

contained in Standard 9, published by SACS, which may be a problem

in the future. One illustration deals with funding continuing educa-

tion. The Standard specifies that support should be consistent with

support of al] units in the University. The other illustration deals
with central coordination of continuing education programs. Additional
ly, a primary faculty concern which needs further discussion is the
level of remuneration to faculty who teach courses for the Division.

Even though a substantial increase was granted recently (20%) --for

which the faculty are grateful-- gratitude is hardly the appropriate

response given the low hourly-wage outcome of these important con-
tributions on the part of the faculty. It seers obviously desirable
to retain as many experienced faculty as possible in these courses

and additional monies would help in that regard. . Officers for 1984-65

are encouraged to review Committee Minutes for 1983-84.

COURSE DROP APPEALS: The Committee passed on.six student appeals
during the year. The Committee notes in its annual report that a
suggestion has been made to consult on a regular basis with the
faculty member whose course is at issue. The Committee notes that
this is being done as the need arises. Carried Over: the very
important task of developing a mechanism for regular involvement of
the faculty member at issue has been recommended by many faculty and
administrative officers of the University. The Chair of the Faculty
concurs in seeing this as a top priority for the Committee in 1984-85.
The important work of the Committee should not be hampered by the
oft-felt inequity of denying faculty at issue a chance to comment.
Officers for 1984-85 are encouraged to review Committee Minutes of
1983-84.

CREDITS COMMITTEE: The Committee did not meet for any appeals in
1983-84. The members did discuss the need for specific guidelines
as to the manner by which student appeals should be forwarded to

the Committee. Given the analogy which may exist to the course drop
appeals situation, this topic is carried over as the primary item
of business for 1984-85. The Officers for 1984-85 are encouraged

to review Minutes from 1983-84 and to discuss this analogy with the
Chair of the Faculty and with the past Chair fof Course Drop Appeals
(Ralph Scott, Lib Servs) and Trenton Davis (immed past Chair of the
€redits Committee).

(7) EDUCATIONAL POLICIES & PLANNING: The Committee took no action
in 1983-84 in that ft was a sert of down-side year in the planning
process. Committee (and Senate officer) representation on the
newly-revised and constituted Planning Commission is an important
aspect of the University planning process and as time goes on, both
the Commission and the Committee will work in concer’ to help
formulate and reformulate the University plan. The work of the Facult:
Assembly in insuring faculty input in the budget process as well as
the planning process has been and will continue to be reflected in
the concern and work of this committee. Such interests are carried
over and should be made a matter of regular report to the Faculty
Senate itself.

FACULTY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE: The Faculty Affairs Committee conducted
hearings and wrote a report to the Senate concerning the prospects

of removing the six-year cap on fixed term appointments. Indeed, this
sequence of events was a major part of the activity of the Faculty
Senate in 1983-84 and remains to be one of the top priorities for
1984-85(see Section III below). The Committee is to be commended for
the hours of committed involvment on this very serfous matter. Many
faculty involved themselves, both before the Committee and before the
Senate on this topic. A task force option was uitimately rejected by
the Senate and the question has been recommitted to the committee.

The Chair of the Faculty will provide a full file to all incoming
committee members and this topic is the obvious carry over for 1984-85.
All members of the new committee have the obligation of familiarizing
themselves with the materials. A short history of the question will
be prepared and included with those materials and the Committee is
urged by the Chair of the Faculty (and the Senate by Resolution 84-22)
to involve the Vice Chanelliors from Medical and Academic Affairs

in its deliberations and to report back during 1984-85 on this long-
standing issue first given to the Committee in 1982-33. Certainly

an invitation to all constituents of the University must forthcome
from the Committee on this important issue.

FACULTY COMPUTER COMMITTEE: The Committee had a busy year hearing
and making recommendation concerning computing serices at the Universit
and given that a search for a new director was carried out, these con-
tributions were especially important. Recommendations to the Senate,
to CIS, and to ISAC are the important work of this important committee.
In December, the Committee chair appointed a subcommittee for academic
computer (short and long-range) planning. The Committee advised CIS

on the expenditure of approx $50,000 of change budget support for acade:
ic computing. These funds went for the purchase of two time-sharing
micro systems for an Austin lab, two personal computer systems for
Academic Computing (CIS), and approx 20 terminals. The FCC advised the
Search Committee for the CIS Director and participated in the interview
ing process. Professor Joyce served on this committee, as did the Char
of the Faculty. The FCC welcomed Jim Yucha in the newly created posi-
tion, Manager of Academic Computing and invited him to participate at
FCC meetings. The Committee also recommended to CIS that available
space in Speight be set up as a faculty user room and approved thru
recommendation the re-equipment of the School of Business' micro lab
with IBM-compatible pcs. The committee carries over these general
responsibilities, recommends the development of a handbook of FCC
procedures, a new member orientation, and replacement of one member

who was never able to attend.

(10) FACULTY GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE: The Committee continued consideratior.

Of Changes in unit Codes required by Appendix C. A subcom was appointec
to discuss with the Chancellor, any references to salary recommendations
that might be included in unit codes. The Chancellor indicated (see
Senate Minutes for September 20, 1983) that since App L does not men-
tion salary matters, such guidelines , if any, should be placed among
the unit's personnel policies and guidelines. Another subcom draftdd

a proposal on the definition of voting faculty for App L. (see

Senate Resolution 84-1] --this action, approved by the Chancellor,

was adopted as a revision in App L by the Board of Trustees on July I,
1984). A third subcom was appointed to draft a recommendation on
General Faculty voting mechanisms (this latter topic is carried over).
The Committee returned four unit codes to units for further work before
sending them on to the Senate (but did ultimately send them on as re-
vised). The Committee sent a total of 12 unit codes to the Senate for
revision consideration. Also sent to the Senate were recoms re

second alternate senators; the document on Patents and Copyrights;

a definition of General Faculty commensurate with requirements in The
UNC Code; a proposal re voting by unit chairs on personnel committees
(subsequently passed by the Senate and approved by the Chancellor, as
indicated in a memo from the Chancellor to all unit chairs, dated

in June; 1984). This committee deserves commendation for long hours

of tedious yet important combing of unit code proposals for consistency
among units as such can be expected. Carried over also is the project
of completing code screening re App C requireme’.ts --in fact the Com-
mittee should report to the Senate in-early 1984-85 on the status of
that project. Also, the Committee can expect to inhereit all code
revision proposals as the expected dissolution of the Ad Hoc Screening
Committee occurs. In that regard a compiling and distribution of all
code-writing guidelines should be accomplished .in 1984-85. Officers
for 1984-85 are encouraged to review th 1983-84 Committee Minutes.

FACULTY WELFARE COMMITTEE: The Committee recommended (and the Senate
approved) a change in the committee charge (with the recom of the Com
on Committees) involving the provision of data by the Faculty Chair to
the Committee as a background procedure so as to allow faculty salaries
to be a committee purview (as listed in the new charge). Tom Johnson
(HPERS) continued as a Committee consultant on the faculty salary sur-
vey and carried out the arduous task of updating salary information

for the Committee. Consideration of retirement and tuition waiver
options (for dependents) are topics carried over and liaison with

the Faculty Assembly Welfare Committee will be continued. Also carried
over is the important task of finalizing the context of the faculty
salary survey (guidelines, procedures, and applications); follow-up

on the proposal of the Fac/Staff Benefits Committee to Chancellor Howell
that discounts similar to those available to employees of the School of
Medicine for health care services be made available to all ECU employees
follow-up on the Committee's request for a consultant to work on the
statistical design of future salary surveys (1982-83 Annual Report of
the Committee, IX,1.) Officers for 1984-85 are encouraged to discuss
these items with the Chair of the Faculty and to read the Committee
Minutes for 1983-84. Consultation with Dr. Ellis (Engl), immed past
Committee Chair is also encouraged.

 
page nine
1983-84 Annual Report, Faculty Senate

a (12) GENERAL COLLEGE COMMITTEE: The Committee prepared and presented to

the Senate a.form for student evaluation of faculty advising for possible

use by General College advisors. -This form was presented to the Senate
and accepted by the Senate for voluntary use by units for any and all
advising processes. (see Senate Resolution . 84-19) The Committee
discussed the efficacy of the registration process at ECU. Carried over
is the continuation of that discussion and a continuation of consideration
of the report given to the Senate (written) by Gil Moore, Registrar.
Also carried over is the discussion of ways to improve the advising pro-
cess in the General College (and beyond), a discussion initiated by Herb
Carlton (POLS), whose advising activities many think might serve as a
model for others. Officers for 1984-85 are encouraged to review the
Committee Minutes for 1983-84.

(13) RESEARCH/CREATIVE ACTIVITY COMMITTEE: The Committee brought a revision

of criteria for the consideration of grant proposals to the Senate and
(see Resolution 83-46) these were approved. The Committee

also presented its annual recommendations to the VCAA re fundable proposal:
The Committee worked with the Univ Teaching Grants Committee and the Offic«
of the VCAA in order to make more uniform and more nearly clear all aspects
of grant committee work at ECU. Carried over is the continuation of that
dialogue and the new officers are encouraged to discuss these matters with
Margie Gallagher, immediate past Chair, to review the Minutes of 1983-84
and to maintain close contact with Dianna Morris (Office of the VCAA)
on these matters. Some further analysis of the nevification of faculty
is needed. The Annual Report of the Committee lists seven items, speci-
fically, which need attention in 1984-85. The Committee is to be commen-
ded for its great care and concern over criteria in this important work
and for the long hours subsequently invested in evaluating proposals under

these revised criteria. The annual report from the- Committee is excellent

STUDENT SCHOLARSHOPS, FELLOWSHIPS, & FINANCIAL AID: The Committee handled
the routine business of approving scholarships; revised the document
"Guidelines for Department, School, or College Scholarships"; and, deter-
mined the structure, amounts, and criteria for the Lildian Jenkins Scho-
larship. The Committee communicated with all unit heads, requesting
information from all units on all scholarships, in that the Committee
serves as the University appeals board in all student financial aid matters
Carried over is the obvious responsibility associated with this communica-
tion and approval process. New officers are encouraged to read the Com-
mittee Minutes from 1984-85 and to discuss the Committee's function with
William Bloodworth (ENGL), immediate past Committee chair.

STUDENT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION: The Committee discussed the possibilit)
of a task force to investigate certain matters. The Senate (thru the
Committee on Committees) advised that such activities could be found
covered in the Committee's own charge. The Committee carries over that
interest and intends to discuss this with several officials listed in the
Committee's annual report. Also, a plan to visit unit meetings is to

be considered. New officers should discuss these items with Dr. Phelps, &
with Professor Tilton Wilcox (BUSI), immediate past chair of the
Committee. The Committee might benefit from hearing some of Marion

Sykes' ideas as the new Coordinator of University College, given his
experience at recruitment and retention over the years for the Division.

 
page ten
1983-84 Annual Report, Faculty Senate

(16) TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS COMMITTEE: The Committee continued work on
analysing the student teaching effectiveness evaluation instrument,
conducting several hearings to that end. The subcom on revision has
developed a new, shorter form, which will be considered further in
the Fall samester, although such would not be ready for the Fall, 1934
evaluation run. Also carried over is the wider concern for the evalua-
tion process, especially to help prevent (through perhaps a package
recommendation to the Senate) use of the instrument by unit heads as
the sole item in the evaluation of a faculty member's teaching effective-
ness. No other item of discussion is directed to the Office of the Faculty
Senate as often as this one, and its consideration by the Committee in
1984-85 and consequent action by the Senate consitutues one of the top
Senate priorities for 1984-85. Also, working closely with both the VCAA
and Bob Ussery in the Office of Institutional Research is paramountly
important in order to bring this enterprise to effective, coorddénated
fruition. Also, further discussion and action re faculty teaching
effectiveness development needs attention (space for a center, more
workshops, etc). New officers are encourage to read the Minutes from
1983-84, the Committee's annual report, and to discuss these matters
with Madge McGrath, immediate past Chair of the Committee.

UNIVERSITY CURRICULUM COMMITTEE: This Committee, as always, deserves
commendation for the heavy workload it carries, so central to the Univer-
sity's mission. Especially so this year with a new catalogue formation.

"  . ..  . Additionally, the Committee prepared a total summary
of all curricula changes (on file in the Senate o’rice). The Committee
continues to urge that units planning changes be aware of the time require
to obtain all approvals necessary for curriculum changes, esp in light
of a two-year catalogue. The Committee wishes to have all degree changes
include the catalogue format in order to better understand what changes
are being made and to facilitate the preparation of the Committee's Minute
The Committee has relinquished its overseeing of admission standards for
new degree programs to the Admissions Committee. The Committee believes
that experience is the best teacher re the Committee's activities and that
it is difficult to be comprehensive in the production of written committee
procedures.

(18)UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES COMMITTEE: The Committee facilitated multi-copy
collection policy formation for the Reserve Book room; contributed to
strategy development re collections; reports that the allocation formulae
seem to be functioning appropriately;made suggestions regarding facilities
expansion; discussed the problems associated with out-of-print and foreign
source publications; and other items listed in the annual report from the
Committee; Officers for 1984-85 are encouraged to discuss these matters
with Chuck Boklage, immediate past Chair, and to read the Minutes from
1984-85. Some discussion should also occur in 1984-85 concerning the
Senate representation from the Health library. History of unit formation
has it that the HSL representation should be separated from the School
of Medicine. New officers should discuss this question with the Chair
of the Faculty in 1984-85. Coordination with the Faculty Governance
Committee in this discussion would be helpful.

 
page eleven
1983-84 Annual Report, Faculty Senate

(19) UNIVERSITY TEACHING GRANTS COMMITTEE: The Committee worked to
coordinatée uniformity of procedures with the R/CA Committee and
with the office of the VCAA. .These discussions should be continued
in 1984-85 and such is an impotéant carry over. The new officers
should discuss these matters with Vi Rosenfeld (HECON), immediate
past Chair of the Committee and should coordinate activities in
1984-85 with the R/CA Committee. Some discussion of the criteria
is always in order, to see if improvements are called for. Close
contact with Dianna Morris (VCAA office) is essential on all matters
of procedure and some further attention to faculty notification
is in order.

Ill.
1984-85:

(1) Effect further coordination with the Faculty Assembly and
the Assembly's committees re our committees

(2) Bring forth a comprehensive package concerning the evaluation
of teaching effectiveness (new instrument; further criteria)

(3) Bring forth a concise and substantial rccommendation re the
six-year cap question :

(4) Oversee the dissolition of the hard-working Ad Hoc Screening
Committee subsequent to approval of a Polittcal Science code.

(5) Evaluate the adequacy and consistency of. Apps C,D, and L, once
the 6-yr cap question is resolved.™™ .

(6) Involve interested and willing faculty in the work of the
Senate and committees on a continuing basis.

*tThe Senate made App C-related recommendations on the following unit codes
in 1983-84: Nursing, Technology, Business, Counseling Center, History,
Home Economics, Music, FL&Ls, Library Science, and Division of Con Educ.
