Consideration of Minutes 24 April 2012 1 May 2012 MINUTES APPROVED AS DISTRIBUTED Announcements Approvals from the President A one-year extension (for 2012-2013) to the grace period allowed to BGS distance education students for meeting the requirement that Global Issues courses must be taken at 鶹. Provosts Report Provost Hawkinson told senators it was exciting to meet 鶹s new students and parents and to greet the many organizations on campus. The Provost will be visiting with all departments and schools this academic year, beginning on September 6 when he visits Malpass Library. Provost Hawkinson informed senators that $13 million is still owed by the state for fiscal year 2012, and no payments have so far been received for FY13. He added, however, that tuition dollars have begun coming in so the administration does not anticipate problems meeting payroll in the coming months. Academic Affairs has been asked to contribute $1.7 million to meet budget cuts. Provost Hawkinson told senators that this will be able to be met through open positions and variance dollars [the savings in the personnel budget that results when an employee retires at a higher salary, and a new employee comes in at a lower salary]; he does not anticipate needing to use operating dollars. He is not sure, however, how much operating money will be loaded at the beginning of the year because of the need to hold some money back in order to have sufficient reserves on hand to meet payroll in case the state falls behind in its payments, although this decision will be made soon. He added that any department with an essential need for immediate access to a large amount of their operating funds need only contact the departments dean and the Provosts office in order to obtain those funds. The Quad Cities Riverfront campus will hold ground breaking tomorrow for Phase II of its building project. Governor Quinn, Quad Cities legislators and community organizations as well as faculty, students and staff are expected to be among the hundreds in attendance. Provost Hawkinson stated that the current building hosts the College of Business and Technology and various administrative offices; the new building will house the three other academic colleges. He stated that prior to 鶹s Riverfront Campus, the Quad Cities had the largest population in the United States without a four-year public institution, and 鶹 is delighted to fill this need for the students of this region. Provost Hawkinson reminded senators that this year a comprehensive review was completed of 鶹s First Year Experience (FYE) program. The review committee consisted of ten faculty, more than half of the total membership, including Faculty Senate and Executive Committee representatives. Interim Associate Provost Parsons presented a report outlining the strengths, weaknesses and proposed changes to FYE in four open campus meetings this spring as well as a presentation to Faculty Senate. Based on this report and feedback received, Provost Hawkinson presented his recommendations to President Thomas,who will present them to the Board of Trustees on September 21. Provost Hawkinson told senators that 2012-2013 will be a transitional year for FYE while the curriculum changes are communicated to Faculty Senate and its councils and the changes are operationalized. The most significant change that will be recommended is to revise the two currently required FYE courses to one academic course and one UNIV 100 course which would teach study skills, time management, critical thinking, test taking, academic integrity, living in a diverse community, and an orientation to campus and campus services. Interim Associate Provost Parsons plans to discuss the recommendations with CAGAS, CCPI, and CGE in the near future. Provost Hawkinson assured senators there will be no layoffs as a result of the FYE changes; there will still be many FYE courses to teach, and professors who no longer teach an FYE course will be able to teach another course in their home departments. Provost Hawkinson plans to report the final enrollment numbers at the next Faculty Senate meeting after the tenth day count. Senator Thompson pointed out that Faculty Senate never voted to formally approve the changes to FYE, although he believes the Senate did vote on the original FYE proposal. He stated that as a faculty governance body it might behoove the Senate to let its opinion on these changes be known, although he understands that the President has the final say on the recommendations. Senator Thompson asked who will teach the 1 s.h. courses. Provost Hawkinson responded the UNIV 100 courses will be taught by a combination of current FYE instructors as well as other faculty and staff. Senator Thompson asked if the courses will be taught by persons outside the bargaining unit; Provost Hawkinson responded that if this occurs, those persons will receive a stipend. He stated that in some instances teaching assistants or persons employed in Student Affairs may teach UNIV 100. He noted that sometimes persons outside Academic Affairs teach courses at 鶹 and some of these persons may be utilized. Senator Thompson asked if updates are available regarding the sexual assault reported on campus this week and if 鶹s administration is taking a closer look globally at the issue of womens safety. Provost Hawkinson responded that 鶹 engages in ongoing and constant oversight of womens safety and that of others on campus. He noted that 鶹s administration met with womens groups on campus a few weeks ago to discuss many of these issues. He stated that while he cannot publicly discuss the particular situation because it falls within the legal realm, every effort is made to make an announcement when sexual assaults happen and to put into effect best practices and suggestions for all persons to follow. Provost Hawkinson believes the University is trying to do the most it can to make sure that assaults of any kind do not occur. Chairperson Rock added that the Executive Committee next week will consider inviting the Interim Director of the Office of Public Safety and a representative of student orientation to a future Faculty Senate meeting to discuss these issues further. Senator Thompson suggested the President of 鶹s Organization for Women might also be a good person to include. Senator Pawelko asked if it is known if the alleged assaulter was a 鶹 student. Provost Hawkinson responded he does not have this information; the Office of Public Safety reports to the Vice President for Administrative Services rather than Academic Affairs. Senator Pawelko suggested that campus safety and expectations in terms of student behavior and decorum in general could be part of the discussion during the UNIV 100 FYE course. Provost Hawkinson responded that when he spoke with leaders from 鶹s Organization for Women, the Womens Center, and others, it was suggested that issues dealing with womens safety be incorporated into this course, and that is what is intended. He stated that in the past these types of issues were often lost within the content of FYE courses, which is one reason the University wishes to now move in a different direction. Senator Thompson asked if safety issues were considered when developing the master plan for the University. Senator Cordes remarked that he has heard of other assaults occurring in the past but does not recall a timely warning message being issued about them and asked if this is a new emergency protocol. Provost Hawkinson responded that Assistant Vice President for Administrative Services Dana Biernbaum is the point person for emergency management at 鶹; although the Provost believes the timely warning has been in place in recent years he does not know when it started. Senator Rabchuk asked if there is a connection between the new Building Connections mentoring program for freshmen and the proposed new one-hour FYE course. Provost Hawkinson responded there is no direct relationship although both are intended to improve retention at 鶹. He stated that the FYE course will lead to retention because students will become much more familiar with the way the University works, the services provided at 鶹, safety issues, and how to act as college students, so their comfort levels will become greater and they will hopefully choose to stay at 鶹. Senator Rahman asked if the administration will be bringing forward a recommendation about which FYE course to take first or if they will be taken simultaneously; Provost Hawkinson responded the intention is for students to take the courses simultaneously in their first semester of college. He added that in this way freshmen will take a small, content-based course in which they can develop a close relationship with their professors while also taking UNIV 100 so that the two experiences complement each other. Senator Hironimus-Wendt asked if a proposal to change the FYE graduation requirement will be coming before the Senate. Provost Hawkinson responded that meetings have been held with Senate leadership and the chairs of Senate councils, and what has been developed so far are still recommendations which will be taken to the Board of Trustees late in September. He intends to submit the recommendations through faculty governance systems over the next few months. Student Government Association (SGA) Report (Steve Wailand, SGA Representative to Faculty Senate) Mr. Wailand introduced himself to senators as the new SGA representative. He stated the full Student Government Association has not yet met, although the SGA cabinet met last week. Chairperson Rock stated that a few weeks ago he attended a webinar on smoke-free college campuses. He noted that SGA is moving forward with the idea of a smoke-free campus and looking at various models with the intention of bringing a more formal proposal forward at some point. Other Announcements Strategic Enrollment Management (Andy Borst, Director, Admissions) Dr. Borst presented a follow up to senators adding depth to his presentation at the faculty assembly. He told senators he is not asking for action on the information presented but wishes to generate conversation about these topics. Dr. Borst told senators that declining numbers of high school students are projected for the Midwest, particularly in Illinois, for the next eight to ten years, so numbers of new freshmen are expected to drop even if all other factors remain the same. He added the picture is similar for transfer students. Dr. Borst stated that these are projections, not predictions; for instance, it was projected that transfer numbers this year would decrease but they have remained about the same. Dr. Borst stated that priorities for Admissions include: increasing the yield rate for mid-range and high ability students to 30 percent; developing 67 new 2+2 community college partnerships; increasing the number of out-of-state students to seven percent of new student enrollment; strategically limiting the number of students who come to 鶹 through the Universitys alternative admissions program (OAS); recruiting in the cities to increase the market share for freshmen from Cook County and Madison County (St. Louis) to one percent; and recruiting in the south suburbs of Chicago, specifically Will and Kendall Counties. Dr. Borst informed senators that the priorities allow the University to project what can be expected for output if concentration and resources are applied to each of these areas. He stated that if baseline numbers are not met for each specific group, questions can be asked about what is not being done in each target area to meet those projections and if the return on investment is being met for each of these initiatives. He stated that the projections are geared toward enrolling 1,800 to 2,000 new freshmen each year. Dr. Borst showed senators that ACT numbers for 鶹 freshmen were pretty consistently above 22 until 2004-2005 when they dropped off. Senator Rabchuk noted that the state of Illinois this summer revised its qualifications for entering into teacher education programs. He stated the basic skills test results can now be met with an ACT score of 22 or above plus writing as the minimum qualification. Senator Rabchuk added this is an emergency measure on the part of the state. Dr. Borst explained the 鶹 Commitment Scholarships were established as an attempt to stop the bleeding of mid-range and high-range students going elsewhere. He stated that statistics show that most of the students who applied to 鶹 but choose to go elsewhere are attending Illinois State, followed by Northern Illinois University, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Eastern Illinois University, and Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville in that order. He stated these numbers have stayed pretty much the same over the past four years. He pointed out that the biggest growing competitor to the University is the category of students who applied, were accepted, but chose to go nowhere. He said the 鶹 Commitment Scholarship initiative now gives the University the ability to say to a student with a 22 ACT score and a 3.0 GPA that they will be guaranteed a four-year scholarship if they come to 鶹 and maintain the 3.0 academic standard that they had in high school. Dr. Borst explained that freshmen select four to six colleges they wish to consider. 鶹 is considered a safety school because the University is pretty objective in how they consider admittance using ACT and GPA; high school guidance counselors know who will and will not be accepted to 鶹. Dr. Borst stated that many students apply to 鶹, are admitted early, and then apply to their reach schools to see if they can be admitted there. He stated that now those students will receive their admittance letter from 鶹 and their scholarship offering in the same package, which enables 鶹 to put its best foot forward to those students at the earliest possible date; by the time a student has heard from his/her reach school, he/she will have heard from 鶹 five times. Dr. Borst stated that 40 to 60 percent of Illinois high school students are now attending community colleges before transferring to four-year institutions. The new transfer information page on the 鶹 website ( HYPERLINK "http://www.wiu.edu/transfer" www.wiu.edu/transfer) includes four testimonials from transfer students as well as U-Select, a new tool enabling students to see the equivalency classes for 鶹 and community colleges so that they can determine which classes will transfer to 鶹. Dr. Borst does not think that U-Select is particularly user-friendly for first generation college students and is more geared toward advisors, so the University needs to convey the information in other ways. The website will also include articulation tables listing courses that students should take at community colleges with 2+2 agreements in order to be on track for all their courses to transfer to 鶹. Dr. Borst stated that other institutions are already taking this step on their webpages. He added that community college students need to be steered away from programs without general education classes and toward AA and AS programs. Senator Rabchuk pointed out that the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) has consistently identified courses that must be accepted for transfer. Dr. Borst stated that IAI has been built into the transfer guidelines. Dr. Borst emphasized the number of out-of-state students attending 鶹 needs to double in order to offset declining numbers of high school graduates in Illinois. He said 鶹 needs to reach beyond state borders to high school students in Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and Missouri. Dr. Borst stated that 90 percent of students want to go to college within 200 miles of their home towns. 鶹s records show that students are not matriculating from most southern Illinois counties, so recruitment efforts will be reduced in those areas. Dr. Borst told senators that recruiters will still attend college fairs in these counties but will no longer conduct high school visits, focusing instead on areas such as Gary, Indiana. Dr. Borst stated that OAS has become a very popular option for incoming students with record numbers of applications and a 42 percent increase this year in OAS admits. In 2009, OAS admitted 255 students which represented 15.5 percent of total admits for that year. OAS admits in 2009 exhibited over a 70 percent retention rate. In 2010, however, the retention rate for OAS admits dropped to 59.5 percent while the number of OAS students admitted in fall 2010 increased to 329 or 18.7 percent of total admits. In 2011, 485 OAS students were admitted, although Dr. Borst says the maximum has now been capped at 400. Dr. Borst believes OAS needs to focus on who can genuinely be helped given the true capacity of that program. Currently 24.8 percent of 鶹 students enter through the OAS program; Dr. Borst told senators that these students are not achieving at the same levels of success nor do they show the same retention rates as regular admits. He believes the University needs to determine the best method of accepting OAS students that have the most chance of success. Provost Hawkinson asked how many students applied through the OAS program but were denied. Dr. Borst replied that almost 2,500 students applied to 鶹s OAS program for fall 2012; of those, approximately 60 percent were denied, about 800 more than last year. He stated that 鶹 is not opening the gates and is doing a full review of all OAS students before they are admitted. Dr. Borst stated that factors affecting OAS retention rates include unmet financial need, high school GPA, and date of application, with students applying prior to February showing higher retention rates. December 1 has been set as the new priority deadline; Dr. Borst explained that OAS students applying prior to December 1 will be given a full review but after that date will be automatically wait-listed. He added that the top students will be skimmed off the waiting list until the OAS capacity is reached. Dr. Borst told senators that prior to 2004-2005 students could cover all college costs through federal and state financial aid; if the gap between costs and aide continues to grow, it will become an increasing consideration for students. He observed that usually when the economy goes down, college enrollment increases, except for the most recent economic downturn. Average unmet need for 鶹 students increased to $8,790 for 2012-2013. Dr. Borst noted that many 鶹 students are first generation and do not have college savings plans; additionally, the average family income for incoming 鶹 freshmen has decreased by about $7,000. Senator Polley asked if the decline in family income is something that other state schools are also seeing; Dr. Borst replied he does not have that information. He stated that private institutions have tried to address the gap between college costs and estimated family contribution by increasing their discount rates, but that is something that state institutions cannot do. Dr. Borst proposes strategic enrollment management to address some of these issues determining who the University wants its students to be and how to focus institutional resources toward recruiting these students. He noted that 鶹 already has plenty of students with low ability and high financial need; the University needs to decide if it wants to focus on students with low income but high ability or on those with high income but low ability, adding that those students with high income and high ability usually choose to go to private schools. Dr. Borst asserts that money that we give to students that isnt strategically given for the purposes of either recruitment or retention will negatively impact our enrollment. He showed senators that 鶹 currently provides one million dollars in student help funds, $440,000 as talent grants, $1.2 million in tuition waivers, and $3.7 million in scholarships. Senator Rabchuk pointed out that talent grants can also act as advertising for the University as high performing artists, athletes, musicians and others become the face of the University, so this needs to be taken into account. Dr. Borst reiterated 鶹 needs to ask whether it is marrying its need-based funds with its merit-based funds because he believes the University is moving away from these being two separate issues. He suggested that if students with a gap of up to $4,000 could be given a five hours a week campus job for $1,000 in extra income, it would increase their interaction with academic professionals while providing them with a little more money to hopefully continue their education. If 395 new freshmen with unmet financial need were provided with such a job, it would cost the University $395,000 using FY13 figures and $1.3 million over their four years of college; however, the funds for such a model are not available. Parliamentarian Kaul asked if it would be possible to create an institutional loan managed by 鶹 to cover the gap amount and recoup that money at a later date. Dr. Borst responded he does not know if this would be possible, and it would represent a fair amount of financial risk for the University which would need to be assessed versus the possible reward. Parliamentarian Kaul noted that there is a $7,000 difference in 鶹 Commitment Scholarship funding between those students with 29 ACT scores and those with 32, and 鶹 is likely to lose those students to another institution. Dr. Borst pointed out that the most difficult situation to consider is the current 鶹 student who entered with a 35 ACT but only received $1,000 in scholarships and was not eligible for a full ride because the 鶹 Commitment Scholarships were not yet developed. He believes these situations are where departmental scholarships need to take a greater role. Senator Lauer observed that the institutional loans may be a way to get around the three percent limit placed on state college discounts. He asked if 鶹 does a cost benefit analysis of the different kinds of awards that are offered to students. Dr. Borst responded that this is not yet done, noting that the institution is in its infancy in regard to these types of discussions. Senator Thompson asked if it is being taken into account that the state legislature will appropriate less money to 鶹 and this will likely have to be made up through increasing tuition. He noted that a possible $6 million hit to the University if pension costs are shifted to state universities may affect 鶹s ability to reward its students going forward. Provost Hawkinson responded that is why the University is making an effort toward strategic enrollment in order to try to stay ahead of the curve. He noted that best practice models are available nationwide that 鶹 is trying to emulate, and the University is seeing some successes from this change in thinking. He commended Dr. Borst on the good job he is doing as Admissions Director. Dr. Borst informed senators that lists will be provided to deans, associate deans, and chairs after February 1 providing the names of freshmen, transfer students, and returning students in their departments, the amount of financial aid provided, and the gap amount. He stated that no one will tell departments how to award their scholarship funds or work study jobs; the intention is to provide departments with resources so that they can decide the best models for their departments. Dr. Borst stated he believes that Illinois State University slowly raised its academic profile by having these types of conversations ten years ago. He believes it does not matter how many students are brought into 鶹; what is most important is how many stay until they graduate. He added that while retention numbers for FY13 are lower than projected, the University is attempting to address the problem. Senator Choi noted that the discussions have centered on United States student recruitment with no mention of international student recruitment. Rick Carter, Executive Director of the School of Distance Learning, International Studies, and Outreach, responded that 鶹 is engaging in international recruiting, continuing plans that were begun a year ago. A strategic plan for international recruiting is being developed that will be shared with Faculty Senate once completed. President Thomas and Dr. Carter will be traveling to Washington, D.C. to visit up to ten embassies in order to establish relationships and get the word out about 鶹 as an option for international students. A master plan session with campus governance groups is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Thursday, September 13 in the Physical Plant Large Training Room. SmithGroupJJR will return to 鶹 in September to present the Preliminary Campus Master Plan for 鶹 Illinois University. University Personnel Committee election notices will be mailed out next week to chairs for posting and sent electronically to eligible faculty in the Colleges of Business and Technology and Fine Arts and Communication. A three-year vacancy remains in B&T, while a spring 2013 vacancy will need to be filled from FA&C. Service on the University Personnel Committee is restricted to tenured full professors. Reports of Committees and Councils Council on Admission, Graduation and Academic Standards (CAGAS) (Jeff Engel, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Bob Quesal, Chair, 2011-2012) CAGAS heard 450 appeals initiated by students in 2011-2012, nearly identical to the 452 appeals heard in 2010-2011. These included 79 late withdrawals (45 approved), 42 program changes (41 approved), 98 late registrations (93 approved), 59 readmission appeals (23 approved), 42 requests for overload (30 approved), 16 new start requests (13 approved), 35 substitution waivers (21 approved), 15 appeals of freshmen or transfer admission decisions (10 approved), and one appeal of the decision from a College Grade Appeal Committee, which was approved. Additionally, CAGAS considered five cases of falsification of admissions applications brought by the Registrars office and affirmed all findings. According to CAGASs annual report, much of the semester was devoted to discussion and revision of the Councils policies and procedures document. Dr. Borst met with CAGAS regarding proposed changes to the grid used for undergraduate admissions decisions; after discussion and deliberation CAGAS decided there was insufficient data to justify any changes at this time. The Council also participated in the ad hoc committee to consider changes to the early warning grade policy and approved changes to the admission procedures for the Nursing program. NO OBJECTIONS Policies and Procedures Senator Rabchuk observed that it would have been helpful to show what had been changed in the policies and procedures. Chairperson Rock stated that CAGAS has no existing document; Dr. Quesal clarified that the Council had many documents but no single policies and procedures document. NO OBJECTIONS Council on Campus Planning and Usage (CCPU) (Dana Lindemann, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Dana Lindemann and David Rohall, Co-Chairs, 2011-2012) During the past year, CCPU heard faculty concerns over parking difficulties resulting from the steam system construction and addressed these issues with the assistance of Physical Plant Interim Director Scott Coker. The Council worked on developing a frequently asked questions document for its website and a faculty campus usage survey. CCPU also served as a faculty voice in the process of updating the Macomb campus master plan. Communication between CCPU and Physical Plant was improved by having the regular attendance of the Interim Director at CCPU meetings last year. NO OBJECTIONS Council for Curricular Programs and Instruction (CCPI) (Steve Bennett, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Jim LaPrad and Steve Bennett, Chairs, 2011-2012) CCPI last year considered 42 new courses, four experimental courses, three cross-listings, four multiple title requests, 58 changes to existing courses, ten changes to majors, seven changes to minors, two changes to options, and three changes to existing concentrations. CCPI approved one new major during 2011-2012, Fire Protection Services (LEJA). Three new options were approved: Paleontology (Geology), Fire Administration (LEJA), and Fire Science (LEJA). The Council also approved four new minors last year: Sports Broadcasting (Broadcasting), Therapeutic Recreation (RPTA), Entrepreneurship (Management and Marketing), and Fire Science (LEJA). Senator Rabchuk observed that it seems there is a strong trend toward a reduced number of new courses. He wondered if that might be related to fewer numbers of new faculty. The CCPI report shows that there were 46 new courses approved in 2010-2011; 59 in 2009-2010; 39 in 2008-2009; 70 in 2007-2008; 93 in 2006-2007; and 76 in 2005-2006. NO OBJECTIONS Council on General Education (CGE) (Patrick McGinty, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Patrick McGinty, Chair, 2011-2012) According to its annual report, During the 2011-2012 academic year, the Council focused most of its attention on the issues of general education assessment and the assessment process. The report indicates the Council also discussed the general education transfer articulation process; the relationship of the College of Arts and Sciences Essential Academic Skills Committee (EASC) to CGE; and the possibility of including reading comprehension as a general education priority. EASC was established in response to the slipping number of students unable to pass the recently revised Basic Skills test required for teacher education certification. The Committee shared with CGE their data collection instrument for the purposes of gaining a snapshot of the state of general education at 鶹 and the results of that survey. Survey results prompted CGE to consider introducing a reading requirement for general education courses, which will be further discussed in 2012-2013. Chairperson Rock asked where CGE feels the deficiency exists in reading at 鶹. Dr. McGinty responded questions were raised regarding what kind of reading is expected from students in General Education classes and how the University is assessing their progress. He stated CGE has informally noticed that other schools are starting to express expectations about the number of pages required for students in Gen Ed courses and the quality of material to which they have access. Senator Rabchuk remarked that he served on the EASC, and reading expectations was one of the needs expressed by Arts and Sciences faculty in the survey. He noted that currently the state is considering a common core that K-12 students would be expected to know. He explained these new sets of standards are expected to have a very strong and increased emphasis on reading; reading skills would need to be applied to a close reading of complex texts with analysis of those texts and synthesis across multiple texts. He noted that teachers 鶹 produces will need to be able to perform this type of reading at a high level in order to produce students who can also display this skill. He believes there is a strong push toward increased reading, which with the cost of textbooks is harder to emphasize at the college level. Chairperson Rock pointed out that the CGE annual report asks Faculty Senate to start the 2012-2013 year in support of CGE by lobbying CITR and the Office of the Provost to allow the Council on General Education greater visibility at orientation and an opportunity to directly address the new faculty and administrators regarding the importance and significance of the general education curriculum at 鶹, beginning with the 2013 New Faculty Orientation. He informed senators that by approving CGEs report, the Senate becomes the advocate for CGE to obtain a General Education session at New Faculty Orientation. NO OBJECTIONS Council for Instructional Technology (CIT) (TBD, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Chandra Amaravadi, Chair, 2011-2012) The CIT annual report included tables showing the comparative age of faculty computers in fall 2010 and the results of the technology survey administered by the Council in spring 2011. According to the report, issues of multimedia classrooms, discipline-specific software, and other computer resources have arisen time and again and should be priorities for 鶹 and reflected in the technology budget. The survey showed that faculty are generally satisfied with the technology skills of lower division students and generally dissatisfied with the abilities of upper division students, perhaps indicating the need for a technology requirement that could be satisfied through a method such as General Education. The Council presented its recommendations on clickers for the University this past spring semester at the request of the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Research (CITR). CIT identified criteria for clicker technology and recommended inviting vendors to 鶹 based on these criteria. The Council recommends that no faculty computer should be older than ten years and no critical communication equipment should be retained longer than 20 years to avoid University-wide infrastructure failure problems. CIT would like to see a central repository of campus computers developed, a common web-accessible database that would include tag numbers, years purchased, types of hardware, operating systems, departments, and MAC addresses. Senator Rabchuk suggested CIT explore software used across multiple departments of the University, such as Mathematica, a computer algebra program used in Engineering, Physics, Economics and Decision Sciences, and other areas. He noted that departments often struggle to come up with the funds to purchase these types of software, which may be able to be purchased by the University as a package. Dr. Amaravadi remarked that faculty had many comments on the CIT survey regarding specific software that the Council plans to look at closer this year. NO OBJECTIONS Council on Intercollegiate Athletics (CIA) (Christopher Kovacs, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Andy Baker, Chair, 2011-2012) CIA met twice during the academic year to review and make recommendations relative to the various schedules submitted by the intercollegiate athletic teams in accordance with university policy. Additionally, the Council developed a missed class analysis report at the request of Faculty Senate for each sport program. CIA also reviewed the Gender Equality Report, received facilities updates, and reviewed the Athletic Organizational Chart, academic performance report, and conference updates. Senator Hironimus-Wendt observed that the CIA bylaws require both a male and female student representative for the Council; so far only the female representative has been determined. NO OBJECTIONS Council for International Education (CIE) (Michael Stryker, Chair, 2011-2012) Annual Report (Michael Stryker, Chair, 2011-2012) Last year CIE approved six additional discipline-specific global issues (DSGI) courses and three short-term study abroad courses. There are now 51 DSGI courses available to students, 22 General Education global issues (GEGI) courses, and three short-term study abroad courses for foreign language-global issues designation. Last year Faculty Senate approved a one-year waiver period for Bachelor of General Studies students to satisfy the requirement that global issues courses be taken through 鶹. Dr. Stryker met with Dr. Carter in July and will bring a recommendation to address this issue for the future at the September 11 Senate meeting. Additionally, CIE is developing a process for continuing review of global issues courses, similar to that in place for General Education courses. The Council also developed appeal procedures for students wishing to transfer a course to 鶹 for FLGI credit. NO OBJECTIONS Summer School Committee (SSC) (Ellen Ehrgott, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Brian Powell, Chair, 2011-2012) The Summer School Committees annual report included results of the annual survey of students and full-time faculty to assess summer school concerns, needs, and issues. Results were reported from 365 students (236 undergraduates and 116 graduate students) and 230 faculty participants. Of student respondents, 66 percent reported that the courses they need are not offered in the summer at 鶹; 89 percent expressed an interest in summer courses in their majors while 51 percent expressed an interest in Gen Ed summer courses. Most students reported working both during the academic year and the summers; 68 percent of respondents said they would take classes between the fall and spring semesters if such classes were available. Faculty members indicated they have not be able to teach in the summer as much as they would like (61%); 71 percent of faculty respondents would like to teach every summer and 47 percent of faculty would be interested in teaching classes between the fall and spring semesters. NO OBJECTIONS Writing Instruction in the Disciplines (WID) Committee (Kristine Kelly, Chair, 2012-2013) Annual Report (Kristine Kelly, Chair, 2011-2012) The WID Committee Chair met with seven academic departments/chairs last year to discuss WID issues as part of the periodic reviews of all WID courses to ensure compliance with the graduation requirement. The Committee last year also conducted a comprehensive review of all WID syllabi and surveyed all WID instructors and department chairs to review the manner in which the requirement is being implemented. The annual report states that, As a result of this review/survey, a WID/online BGS syllabus policy was developed and approved by Faculty Senate. The Committee has been in discussions with the Library and Honors College to sponsor a multidisciplinary student journal focusing on examples of professional writing produced by students in WID courses. According to the report, The idea would be to engage both faculty and students in the process of submitting works for publication in the journal, with the goal of raising campus awareness of the WID graduation requirement and the importance of high quality writing in general. The Honors College has agreed to house the journal, and Dr. Kelly told senators this will be discussed at the WID Committees first fall meeting. NO OBJECTIONS Old Business None New Business Disruptive Student in Class Procedure and Student Hostility in the Classroom This issue was brought before the Executive Committee by Senator Thompson, who related he has received a number of disturbing reports over the past few weeks about hostile student conduct occurring in the classroom, one of which needed Office of Public Safety (OPS) intervention. He noted that students refusing to do assigned readings and excessive absenteeism represent overtly hostile behavior as well. Senator Thompson recognizes that faculty may express themselves to him more due to his roles on Faculty Senate and University Professionals of Illinois, and he wishes to determine if these are isolated incidents or if there is a real problem on 鶹s campuses. He recognizes that the University has a Disruptive Student in Class policy in place, but he is unsure whether faculty are aware of this policy. Chairperson Rock informed senators that one member of the Executive Committee echoed Senator Thompsons concerns, which is one reason the Committee decided to distribute the Disruptive Student in Class Procedure in Senate packets. He noted that apparently many faculty dont know this policy exists, and ExCo wishes to make senators aware of it. He noted that in terms of whether the problem is getting worse, it may be anecdotal but the Senate can have that discussion on the floor. Senator Cordes noted that many of these issues are covered in the student policy manual. He suggested that if the Senate wants numbers of incidents, they can review OPS reports that occur in classrooms. He noted that the FYE Review Committee has looked at ways to promote positive behaviors, which should help as an intervention. Senator Cordes also believes that volunteer training opportunities for faculty to learn strategies to deal with disruptive students in classrooms would be helpful. He noted that when he worked in a K-12 setting this type of training was regularly offered but he has never seen it offered for 鶹s faculty. Provost Hawkinson recalled that in previous years, new faculty were given a handbook with helpful policies to which they could refer, but now the approximately 200 policies are all online. He stated that if Faculty Senate would wish to identify policies of which faculty should be made aware at New Faculty Orientation, he would be happy to ask CITR to include a session on these. Senator Lauer remarked that the Disruptive Student in Class Procedure is a fine policy, but there are many gray areas that faculty may have to deal with in classrooms. He added that the last disruptive student he encountered in a classroom was ten years ago and it did not reach the level that this policy needed to be put into effect. Senator Lauer added that his chair at that time was very helpful with the situation. He believes some specific guidelines and how-to suggestions would be the best way to cap disruptive actions from getting out of hand. Senator Rabchuk stated that no faculty in his department has had any significant issues with disruptive students. He noted that 16 years ago, an entire session of New Faculty Orientation talked about attendance and the problems associated with getting students to come to class, so he does not think this issue is any worse or better than it was in past years. Senator Siddiqi suggested that the url for the Disruptive Student in Class Procedure be added to faculty syllabi. He noted that faculty dont realize what they can do in these types of cases and students dont realize the implications of their behaviors. He noted that syllabi include references to other policies helpful for instructors and students, and this policy should also be included. Senator Hironimus-Wendt pointed out that the Student Code of Conduct, Regulation D.7., lists Disrupting or obstructing teaching, research, administration, or other University activities, including its public service functions on or off campus, or of other authorized non-University activities when the conduct occurs on University premises as a punishable offense, so the proscription is already included in student handbooks. He believes the Disruptive Student in Class Procedure addresses the problem more from a faculty perspective than a student perspective. Senator Polley remarked that notifications of disruptive student behaviors are sent to CAGAS and suggested that Registrar Angela Lynn might be able to provide information on how many times this has occurred over the past few years. Dr. Lynn informed senators that only in a couple of instances has an incident progressed to the point where a student had to be removed from the course. Senator Polley asked if OPS is informed of these incidents; Dr. Lynn responded OPS is only called if the student is making threats. Senator Cordes related he once had a student that sent 172 text messages to other students in his class disparaging many things about the University, but the student then ended up taking a subsequent class from Senator Cordes. Senator Cordes noted that the policy only seems to address problems in physical classroom environments, but the incident Senator Cordes related occurred during an online course. He noted that disrupting a faculty members ability to teach and the ability of other students to learn is an offense wherever it occurs. Senator Thompson remarked that he is glad to hear that the problems appear to represent a molehill and not a mountain at 鶹. Election of Senators to Serve on Provosts Advisory Council (two senators to serve two-year terms; one senator to serve fall semester only) Provost Hawkinson informed senators that the Council meets one to two times per semester. Council members represent a cross-section of individuals from all over the campuses. The Council discusses current issues, provides different perspectives, and tries to address concerns and challenges at 鶹. Senator Hironimus-Wendt, who serves on the Council, added it acts in an advisory role whereby the Provost can bounce ideas off campus representatives, and individual members can provide insight to the administration. Senator Brice and Senator Romano volunteered for two-year terms on the Provosts Advisory Council; Senator Siddiqi volunteered to fill the fall semester vacancy. There were no further nominations; the three senators were declared elected. Election of Committee on Provost and Presidential Performance (CPPP) (five senators, to include one Executive Committee member) Senator Rabchuk has volunteered to represent ExCo on the CPPP. Other volunteers included Senators Cordes, Jorgensen, Myers, and Thurman. Senator Myers will be on sabbatical during spring semester so her seat will need to be filled by another semester during her absence. Motion: To adjourn (Brice) The Faculty Senate adjourned at 5:38 p.m. Jim Rabchuk, Senate Secretary Annette Hamm, Faculty Senate Recording Secretary     PAGE  PAGE 13  PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1 *+,-.6;=GTUVrs   * + , 6 7 B C L N V |wogb hB5hBhL5h(hL5 hB5h(hB5h8h}35h/hB5h(hB5h(hE45h(hYy5 h}35h(h}35 hK85h(hhmCJaJh_ h(hkP haf6 hK86 h_6h(hhm6 h(hvv h(h 1{ h(hhm#GUVrs ] ^ ^gdB & F gd0Q[gdII & F gd0Q[gdpv'gd_gdK8gdK8gd)gdhm $^a$gde9V W n y {  $ 1 > M ^ }  1 @ ] ^ ȵȩ򡩚ynh_h_CJaJh_CJaJhK8CJaJ hK8hK8 h_5 h5 h(hpv'h_hhm5h(hhm5CJaJh(h0nCJaJhg"CJaJh(hhmCJaJ h(hhmh(h;w5h(hE45h(hc 5 hK85h(hpv'5*     úծzqhq\T\qLh:CJaJh}<CJaJh@h@>*䴳}<>*CJaJh@>*CJaJh(hoCJaJh5hi>*CJaJhv85CJaJh(heG5CJaJhBCJaJhBhK8>*CJaJh/>*CJaJh3>*CJaJhv8>*CJaJhK8>*CJaJh(h/CJaJh(h0Q[>*CJaJh(hpv'CJaJ   NOvw^gdygd}< & F p0^p`0gd}<^gd@ & F gd0Q[gdF(a & F gd0Q[gd`^gdeG 7 ?
