The Senate responded with a round of applause. Vice Chancellor Bloodworth went on to say: "Since this is the last time that I will be able to stand before you in my present capacity, I think it is important for me to let you know how much I have enjoyed and benefited from my relationship with the Senate this year. I have found the Senate officers to be particularly helpful and always available. Also, I am genuinely appreciative of the opportunity that I have had to listen to discussions on the floor of the Senate. I have been constantly impressed with the good sense and careful considerations that the Senate brings to its work. We have a good Faculty Senate. “IT want to say one more thing. I have worked closely with Richard Eakin for nine and a half months now. During those months a number of things have happened and I have observed Dr. Eakin in a variety of circumstances and faced with a variety of issues. And through it all, I have remained constantly impressed by his style of leadership, by his genuine and enlightened concern for this university, by the essential rightness of his judgment and values. He is the kind of Chancellor who will not only do things right but will also do the right things. "So I am here, in my last appearance before you as Acting Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, to tell you that in my fairly well-informed judgment, we at East Carolina University are in good hands: your hands and the Chancellor's." Vice Chancellor for Student Life, Elmer Meyer Dr. Meyer announced that the recent teleconference on racism was excellent and that Student Life has a copy of the tape and associated booklets, both of which are available. Meyer commented on this being his last Senate meeting: "I have been impressed working with the faculty over these past nine years. In my thirty-six years, I have never been in a university where the faculty cared any more about working with the students. I hope we have done alot to improve student life here at ECU." E. Report on the Criteria Used for VCAA Candidate Selection Conner Atkeson, Member of the Search Committee for VCAA, after yielding the chair to Vice Chair Jones, presented the report (See Attachment 1). Senators posed no questions concerning the report. Judy Sadler (Library and Information Studies) presented the following resolution: "In light of the outstanding job Acting Vice Chancellor William Bloodworth has done, the Faculty Senate requests that the Chancellor and William Bloodworth be released from the agreement that the Acting Vice Chancellor would not be a candidate for the position of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. "Therefore, be it resolved that, the Faculty Senate requests consideration of William Bloodworth as a candidate for the position of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affatres) Sadler acknowledged the help of Bob Woodside in drafting the resolution. Connie Kledaras (Social Work) stated that "if Dr. Bloodworth was so inclined, he should be considered a serious candidate". Vice Chancellor Bloodworth remarked that, while he appreciated the intentions, he would ask the makers of the resolution to withdraw it. Sadler responded that a motion made and seconded belonged to the body and could not be withdrawn. The resolution passed on a voice vote. (Resolution #88-21) F. Writing Across the Curriculum Pat Bizzaro (English) reported on the committee's progress pursuant to Faculty Senate Resolution #87-12. A copy of the committee's interim report will be available in the Faculty Senate Office shortly. A final report with recommendations will be available next semester. G. Parking and Traffic Committee Henry Ferrell presented the 1987/88 Parking and Traffic Committee Recommendations by beginning with the remark: "What a somber day! It is raining. We have just learned that our students can't write, can't add, and can't think. Take Heart!, they can park anywhere!" The recommendations include the following: -That the dirt parking lot on the north side of Jones Dormitory be paved and security lights be put in place. -That the dirt parking lot on East Ninth Street be paved. -That no more leased private parking be assigned on the East Fifth Street campus without consultation with the Parking and Traffic Committee. -That the “prestige parking" assigned Pirate Club members be charged a proportional fee to the Club, as student, staff and faculty parking fees have been used to develop these parking areas. -That, in order to free up to 125 parking spaces on the East Fifth Street campus, a University motor pool for state-owned vehicles be developed and that units which prefer to keep their state-owned vehicles on this campus be assessed the same parking fees as those persons who have leased private parking privileges. -That all parking fees and fines be increased at the same proportional rate as the present increase in student, staff, and faculty parking permit fees. Ferrell also informed the Senate that last year's recommendation that the commuter spaces east of Wright between Fifth and Tenth Streets be eliminated would be addressed this summer by Chancellor Eakin. Ferrell announced that Joe Calder, Public Safety Director, will be retiring this summer. He then introduced a resolution recognizing Mr. Calder's long and dedicated service to East Carolina University. "Tt is the sense of the Senate that Public Safety Director, Joe Calder, has served the University and its community well over the past 20 years and that the Senate wishes him well in retirement and appreciates his contributions."' The resolution passed on a voice vote. (Resolution #88-22) Ferrell than introduced a second resolution expressing appreciation of Vice Chancellor Elmer Meyer's service to East Carolina University. "Tt is the sense of the Senate that Vice Chancellor Elmer Meyer has led the Division of Student Life with wit, intelligence, and good humor and has contributed significantly to the progress of the University in general and to the development of the student body inparticularly. The Senate wishes him well in his retirement.'' The resolution passed on a voice vote. (Resolution #88-23) Agenda Item IV. Unfinished Business Bob Woodside (Mathematics) was recognized to speak to a matter of old business - - the report of Dave Hart, Director of Athletics (See Minutes of February 23, 1988). Woodside objected to the fact that Mr. Hart did not announce his intention of recommending the raising of student fees to balance the athletic budget. Vice Chancellor Meyer responded that such action was not decided at the time of the report and that the SGA did not strongly object to the fee raise. Woodside indicated further that he was disappointed that Hart didn't mention it in his report to the Senate. Agenda Item V. Report of Committees A.

They will not affect students presently enrolled. The recommendations passed on a voice vote. (Resolution #88-26) Grossnickle then announced that, starting this fall, all course proposals must make use of the "revised Buckler" form. Copies of this form are available in the Senate office. C. Educational Policies & Planning Committee Bob Schellenberger (Business) presented the revised Mission Statement for East Carolina University. In response to a question from Judy Bernhardt (Nursing), Schellenberger stated that comments concerning the statement should be directed to him, Henry Ferrell, or George Bailey before the end of the semester.

Mayberry responded that it would be a guideline that faculty could point to. The recommendation passed on a voice vote. (Resolution #88-30) Mayberry then presented the resolution regarding Availability of Courses for Registration (See Attachment 3, Agenda). Joyce (Physics) stated that, while he supports the intentions of the resolution, he feels that it might be asking the administration to recommend steps that we should be recommending.

Steven Thomas (Allied Health) asked whether it was meant to apply to both undergraduate and graduate students. Parkerson responded that it was to apply to undergraduate students. Jo Ann Jones (English) indicated that there is a serious problem with this resolution: the policy it recommends addresses only regular semester-length courses; it gives no consideration to block courses or to summer term courses (many of the latter which meet one hour and a half each day). Jones then moved that the matter of shortening the free drop period be referred to the Credits Committee for study; that, as part of its deliberation, this Committee conduct open hearings to enable faculty and students to have input; and, further, that this Committee report to the Senate during the 1988 fall semester with a recommendation concerning the drop policy. The motion to refer passed on a voice vote. (Resolution #88-34) George Bailey (Philosophy), noting that this would be the last meeting for Senator South (English), asked for a round of applause for him. The Senate gladly responded. Connie Kledaras (Social Work) noted that it would be the last meeting for a number of “ole timers,'' including himself. The Senate responded with a second round of applause. A few Senators were heard to question who would remind the officers of the traditional seasonal beverages. There being no further business or laments, Chair Atkeson adjourned the meeting at 4:10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sharon Bland, Office Secretary Senate Resolutions: #88-21 Consideration of William Bloodworth for the position of Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs #88-22 Appreciation to Joe Calder #88-23 Appreciation to Elmer Meyer #88-24 Committee on Committees: Changes to charges of the following committees: Career Education, Faculty Governance, Unit Code Screening, Research/Creative Activity, and Teaching Grants Committee on Committees: Changes to charges of the following committees: Admissions, Calendar, Continuing Education, Faculty Computer Curriculum Committee Report: Minutes of March 24, 1988 Proposed Emeritus Policy Faculty Manual, Appendix A amendment: Parliamentarian of the Faculty #88-29 #88-30 #88-31 #88-32 #88-33 #88-34 Code for the School of Social Work Recommendation: Student Workload/Courseload Resolution: Availability of Courses for Registration, recommitted to Student Recruitment & Retention Committee Request for funding for Teaching Effectiveness National Conferences Unit Codes for Art, Health Sciences Library, History, and Library and Information Studies Resolution: Lengthy Drop Period referred to Credits Committee Attachment 2 EMERITUS POLICY The Faculty Affairs Committee recommends the adoption of the following policy either as a new “Appendix T" or an amendment to "Part IV" of the Faculty Manual: Upon receiving written confirmation of intent to retire by a tenured faculty member with ten or more years of full-time service to East Carolina University, the unit head shall notify the unit personnel committee which, in turn, may recommend granting the retiree emeritus status.
