Motion carries. Guest Speakers: Todd Pourciau presents information about the LMAR 1101 freshman seminar. We are looking for student centered people to teach the class. Pay will be $1700 per section The class will help students learn a variety of skills to help them succeed in college including critical thinking, writing, communicating with professors, and so forth. There will be two training sessions for faculty, you are only required to attend one session. We are using the text On Course. It is not part of the core (at the moment) but that is under discussion. 揑 Will� students will be required to take the class, but it is not designed for students in need. Will Robbins, SGA president pro-tem We are restructuring our by-laws and need two faculty sponsors, one from admin and one general faculty. This advisor is appointed by the Faculty Senate. We want somebody who will be involved, provide support and guidance. We are moving toward a structure more like the US government. Senate will deal with taxation (fees) Student Supreme Court has been brought back. Ted Mahavier suggests the court could deal with issues of academic dishonesty. We are trying to get a referendum passed to build a new student center. This will help attract new students. Our current structure smells and is not drawing in new people. It will also help us to maintain good students. We are looking at two ballrooms, some conference rooms, chambers for government, a new food court, study space. We are hoping to get around 3,000 to vote on this with about 90% approval. We are planning to have voting booths as well as allow voting simply from home or lab. It is currently being planned for the area occupied by the Plummer Building. We could put the administration on the top floor, so they would have to see students on a regular basis. This location would also be more appealing to the student athletes. Parking should be considered. There could be parking over by the Montaigne if the building is located at the Plummer spot. This referendum would include an increase on the student center fee. This fee would not apply to the online program students. We are working on communication and as part of that want to know if Faculty Senate would like to have a liaison, an ex-officio member. There is a Cardinal Pride bill pending now that is designed to get people to have pride in the entire university, not just their individual groups. President抯 Report: Jeremy Shelton Update on the Undergraduate Advising Center. Current location plans are in the old printing center space. The academy will be moving soon, so that will also open more space. They are looking for an assistant director for the Advising Center. The center will not be working for fall. That advising will run as it currently does. If you have questions or concerns, please talk to Daniel Bartlett. He is looking for input about what people want/need from the center. It is actually shared advising, not central. Departments will still see their students. The center will help with basics like schedule building. Faculty will be discussing careers, grad school, etc. Update on the Construction Management 羞羞视频. There was a meeting with Jeremy, Dean Venta, and several other people about this. There are no accreditation issues. There are still issues. The main problem being that the new faculty will need different evaluation standards. This can be handled by making them their own department. This is being looked into. It would be a two person department. There was never a clear answer to the 搘hy are they moving� question. It was said they were not getting resources where they were. There are rumblings that it was really a personality issue. It was not run through the curriculum committees. This is because it is not a curriculum issue. It is an 搊ther� program with less than 25% business, so it isn抰 affecting the college of business. It is simply a relocation process. This decision was made and then the college of business was told about it. Committee Reports Faculty Issues: Lula Henry We have no report and will not meet next week unless a new issue is presented to us. Academic issues: Jim Mann We are working on the academic integrity issue. The graduate committee will be addressing the G15 form. We will be meeting next week. Distinguished Faculty Lecture: Golden Wright 9 were nominated. 5 have filled out the applications. The deadline is today. We will be meeting to discuss the nominations. We will meet on Monday, not Wednesday. Budget: Barbara Hernandez We are working on the budget. I have not been able to find out the HEH numbers. I will try to get in touch with Greg Lassen about it. We will meet next week. Faculty Development: George Kenyon No report, no meeting. Old Business We need a committee to help Jim Love work on the handbook revisions. These revisions are not a major overhaul. It is about making sure that if there are violations we can illustrate that and filling in holes. If you have any nominations for the upcoming election, please get them in. The faculty development leave resolution is presented for a vote. This is designed to eliminate the surprise rejection scenario. Discussion of the resolution It will still go to the committee, that process is not revised. There are no options. It should read 搕he following� We should include 揕ast working day of September.� 揕ast Friday before Thanksgiving� and 揊irst Friday in December� to clarify when each stage of the process needs to be complete. Howell moves to vote, Valentin moves to second. Resolution passes unanimously. We are in the process of surveying the tenure track faculty to determine if they want the release policy. So far, the return rate is pretty good. Barbara Hernandez will talk to Vicki about the scholarship issue. It appears there was no nefarious intention, it was a standard accounting procedure. New Business Tommy Thompson moves, Howell seconds a motion to amend the by-laws so that the agenda can be sent out 24 hours before the Senate meeting. Ted Mahavier suggests that the shortened deadline may prohibit involvement of more faculty members in the Senate activities. We need sufficient notice. George Kenyon asks if the senate website is up and running. It is. Therefore, important issues can be publicized via the website. Most of these agenda items come up at the eleventh hour. Therefore, sending the agenda out a week early would lead to an incomplete agenda. So, it is either an early but blank agenda or a later but complete agenda. We cannot vote on resolutions when they are admitted, so there is a month warning for important issues. The by-laws can be approved by a simple majority but you have to wait a month to vote. Valentin notes that the job of the president is onerous and time consuming. Getting the agenda out a week ahead of time is not a workable situation. Since the votes can抰 happen until a month after introduction, time is not as serious an issue. It would be useful to have the broadcast email send a link to everyone for the senate webpage. It would also be helpful to have the minutes sent earlier. It would make sharing the information with the faculty easier. Tommy Thompson calls the question to close the discussion. A faculty member went up for promotion and was denied. What makes this different than in the past is that information was provided in secret to the administration. The faculty member was contacted by Dr. Doblin who asked for clarification. He said it was fine and dealt with, but the 搖nofficial� information still swayed the committee and led to a denial of promotion. This is a denial of due process. This lack of appropriate procedure on the part of Dr. Doblin is the latest event in a line of questionable decisions. Jeremy would like to establish a committee to investigate how often/when Dr. Doblin has sidestepped procedure or made these questionable decisions. The goal is to determine whether there are grounds for a vote of no confidence. The committee needs to publish its report to either exonerate him or document for the next step. Georg Kenyon moves to establish the committee, Sam Sales seconds. The motion carries. Priscilla Parsons is putting together an IT committee and would like a Senate representative. Golden Wright agrees to serve. The handbook has tenure attached to a department. This is complicated by the moving of the construction management program. We need to consider changing the wording to something like an 揳cademic discipline� or perhaps 損rogram�. We need to be sure that no matter what it is changed to, we need to protect the faculty and the university. Nominations are still being accepted. Send them to a committee member or secretary. How many people have been hired during the freeze? Please ask this of the administration. Mary Gagne is retiring. There is currently a search going on for her replacement. The TALH program will continue. When should we elect new senators? Valentin volunteers to help with this process. We will put current information about the senators and their terms on the webpage. Business is going to put a BBA program online through the Academic Partnership. There is rumor of 9 different programs that will be going online. This is part of the plan to grow 羞羞视频. We need to be out in front of this and not waiting until they force us to do it. There is a question about whether chairs and division leaders receive a stipend for online programs. Yes, there is a stipend. Call for adjournment by Ted Mahavier, seconded by Valentin Andreev.
