Since that time, the Committee on Committees has recommended that: (and accepted by the Executive Committee)

1. Tracy Routsong to Space Utilization and Financial Aid/Residency Appeals (both All-University);

2. Ask at Meet and Confer to increase faculty membership on Athletic and Hall of Fame (All-University) from four to five;

Administration responded positively to the increase from four to five (therefore resulting in #3).

3. Jo Stejskal to Athletic and Hall of Fame (All-University);

4. Richard Jarvinen to Governmental Relations (FA);

5. Amy Hermondson to Student Affairs (FA), Cultural Diversity (All-University), and Student Services (All-University);

6. Joe Jackson to Cultural Diversity (All-University);

7. Ad Hoc Task Force on Faculty Professional Quality Improvement (All-University; one faculty member per college): Jacqueline Hatlevig (Nursing/Health Science), Cathy Summa (Science/Engineering), David Bratt (Liberal Arts), Lorene Olson (Education), Mark Young (Business);

8. Global Studies Policy Council (FA committee; six faculty, representing six different departments if possible): Ruth Forsythe (English), Linda D'Amico (Res College), Drake Hokanson (Mass Comm), Cathy Summa (Geoscience), Alex Yard (History), Gabriel Manrique (Economics/Finance).

The administration accepted these additional recommendations.

Faculty Senate ratified the results of the recent FA election, as reported by the Elections Committee: 10 Senators were elected (Troy Paino, Colette Hyman, Christa Matter, Kelly Herold, Yogesh Grover, Matt Bosworth, Marianna Byman, Pat Ferden, Peter Miene, Mark Engen), and Profs. Svingen and Hyle were (overwhelmingly) reconfirmed as IFO Board rep and Negotiator, respectively. It also noted that WSU has the largest number of negative votes on the contract.

The administration congratulated the election winners and smirked (at the negative votes on the contract)!

Faculty Senate endorsed a proposal by the Sexual Violence Advisory Committee to replace the opening two paragraphs of the Sexual Violence Policy with the following (in italics):

Faculty Senators also (a) expressed concern lest terms in the policy invite misinterpretation and misapplication of the policy; (b) asked whether mandatory reporting of incidents (alcohol, sexual assault, etc.) were being expanded to cover off- as well as on-campus occurrences.

Administration Comments:

1. Thanked the revisions.

2. Will come back with comments regarding (a) and (b).

 

Faculty Senate approved a proposed calendar for 02-03 meetings of Senate, Meet and confer, and A2C2.

The Meet and Confer dates are:

2002: 9/16, 9/30, 10/14, 10/28, week of Nov. 12-15, 11/25, 12/9.

2003: 2/3, 2/17, 3/3, 3/24, 4/7, 4/21.

Administration Comments:

1. What about identifying a Rochester meeting?

[D. Bratt stated that we are still investigating how to enhance the meeting atmosphere/attendance in Rochester.]

2. Russ Lohmann stated that perhaps a meeting could be scheduled on a shorter notice that might involve several Rochester-specific issues.

3. Christine Clements stated that she has been holding two to three meetings per semester for Rochester faculty, typically Mondays @ noon. Perhaps we can hold joint sessions. Will wait till fall to decide.

The administration accepted the Meet and Confer dates.

Faculty Senate had no problem with MAPE's request to have three reps on the All-University Technology Committee.

The administration thanked the Senate endorsement.

Faculty Senate offered suggestions to the Director of Admissions regarding (a) alternative locations for next Fall's Academic Preview Day (McGown gym, PAC Main Theatre, East Cafeteria) or (b) possible weekday dates (on a faculty development day or October break day), instead of holding it on a Saturday.

Administration Comments:

1. Using non-class duty day for Academic Day (thereby alleviating room problems caused by the possible construction of the new science building).

2. Will consider Senate suggestions.

 

The administration (Dean Carol Anderson) provided the faculty exec's with the Student Teacher Supervisors documents for Fall 2002.

The current University Studies Director term will end through spring semester of 2003. In order to facilitate the transition to the next Director, the administration requests that Faculty Senate designate five faculty to serve with a member of administration as an internal search committee, starting early in Fall semester 2002.

The administration requested the formation of the Registrar Search Committee, to begin during the summer. The committee will be charged with developing a Notice of Vacancy, establishing the parameters of the search, and soliciting applications. The review of applications will not take place until the Fall semester was underway. The composition of the committee is as follows:

3 MSUAASF members, including at least two from the Registrar's Office

2 Faculty

1 Council 6 AFSCME, preferably from the Registrar's Office

1 Student

1 Dean

Faculty Comments:

1. The two faculty can be solicited/appointed electronically.

2. The administration was reminded that faculty should be pay accordingly for working on this committee (if they don't have a summer appointment during the period in which work is to be performed on this committee).

 

The administration (VP Schmidt) informed Faculty Exec's regarding the past/present/future status of staff positions in University Advancement:

1. Lost two positions this year and will be replacing both positions.

2. One (replacement) position will be handling All-university Campaign and Athletic contributions.

3. Nancy Brown will be handling Major Gifts for areas in Sci/Eng+Nursing+Busi.

4. One (replacement) position will be handling Major Gifts for Ed and Lib. Art.

5. One new staff member will be coordinating various details in Univ. Adv.

6. Overall one additional staff position.

7. There could be a summer meeting on the Capital Campaign.

 

During a recent meeting (April 15) between a representative of University of Minnesota (an VP-equivalent), Chancellor James McCormick of MnSCU, several members of GRAUC, and Dr. Darrell Krueger, an agreement was made so that University of Minnesota will become the leading institution in offering upper division, graduate and professional degree programs (except Nursing) in Rochester. This was done apparently to appease GRAUC.

A four-person committee (including Dr. Krueger, Linda Baer, U. of M. VP-Frank Cerra, and Bob Bruininks) will meet to discuss (and report by June 1, 2002) a win-win contractual Administrative Agreement that articulates clear and explicit responsibilities and resources. This agreement would transfer to University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR) upper division authority for all current WSU-RC programs, except Nursing programs offered by WSU-RC.

Charge of the four-person committee is to make necessary changes (without moving personnel or money) that would enable/enact this transfer agreement.

Comments/Implications:

1. GRAUC might provide funds (~$5M from sales tax?) to build the necessary programs.

2. It appears MnSCU is protecting WSU.

3. The implications are still not clear?

4. Even with this agreement, WSU will continue to handle all of our present courses in WSU-RC and continues to receive the same Rochester funding from MnSCU; with the exception that the U. of M. is the sole management leader. This is no longer a team approach, just a top-down bureaucratic approach.

5. Rochester wants U. of M. presence/name!

6. This is just a namesake for certain Rochester people.

7. WSU's Nursing program (~20 WSU Nursing faculty, of which 14 are full-time positions) is half of the programs at the Rochester Center.

8. Chancellor McCormick claimed that the U doesn't really want Rochester. The U wanted $39M to build any sort of program in Rochester. $5M from GRAUC ain't going to be enough!

9. ...And the Rochester University saga continues!

 

13. Calendar clarifications (administrative addition at meeting)

A revised calendar was given showing corrected typos:

1. Dec. 23 should NOT be a duty-day; however grades are due at 9:00 a.m.

2. Oct. 11 should be a Non-class Faculty Duty Day.

3. Nov. 27 should be a Non-Class Faculty Duty Day.

 

Adjourned 3:50 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted,

Bill Ng.
