\par III\tab A.\tab Comments from Chancellor, Marshall Lind - 
\par 
\par Ch
ancellor Lind indicated that the Governor supports the UA budget of $17 million.  That is good news for the University.  It will make a difference to the University in terms of support from the legislature.  The Governor spoke at the Regents meeting this 
l
ast week.   He talked about several things the University has discussed in terms of the role of the University especially in regards to recruiting and retaining Alaska's students, training Alaskans for highly technical and skilled jobs, and diversifying t
he state economy by building our technological capacity.  
\par 
\par UA received the BP merger money of approximately $4 million dollars.  This is the second installment.  Some of that money has been committed to fill faculty positions we already have in IRAC, SFOS,
 GI/CSEM.  We have some great appointments from that money.  
\par 
\par Faculty member, Jim Gardner, was selected as one of the top volcanologists in the world.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind said 51风流官网 will be making a few changes to a couple of positions.  A national recruitment will be done for a new athletic director.  As a result of that shift, Jake Poole will share his time to help lead this search.  He will continue his du
t
ies as Director of Tanana Campus but he will also pick up the interim duties and responsibility for the athletic department.  This is effective immediately.  He will be serving as Special Assistant to the Chancellor during this interim time to help with t
he selection of a new athletic director. 
\par 
\par Abel Bult asked about the capital budget and the lack of support for the two new science buildings.  Chancellor Lind said that the Board had discussed the capital budget at some length.  This is not  uncommon and i
s generally the pattern where the Governor only puts in a minor amount for capital improvement and the rest comes about through the legislative process.  He will put in $7.5 million for code upgrades and statewide technology needs.  The real question is w
h
ether there will be a general obligation bond.  And if there is one, will we be prepared to offer some things on that bond--one of which is a new science/lab facility.  Anchorage is working on their request as well.  The Board also approved a number of ne
w programs for 51风流官网--the Ph.D. in Engineering and the M.S. in Computation Physics.  
\par 
\par Ron Illingworth expressed some concern about the time Jake Poole will be spending on athletics, and the loss of his time from TVC.  We don't want to lose the momentum that 
TVC has developed during this period.  The Chancellor shared that concern and will make every effort he can to make sure we do not lose that momentum.  
\par 
\par 
\par \tab B.\tab Comments from Provost, Paul Reichardt -
\par }\pard \fi-720\li720\ri180\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin180\lin720\itap0 {
\par }\pard \ri180\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin180\lin0\itap0 {Paul Reichardt had four items for discussion.  The first
 one is the Issue of space, for the most part space at the Fairbanks campus.  The highest priority capital projects on the 51风流官网 list are in Fairbanks.  With respect to West Ridge there is a users committee working on planning the Bioscience facility.  They
 
will be meeting this week.  This project also carries with it the utilidor extension to the west ridge.  There are four components to that building.  It will probably be built as a modular complex that will include a bioscience research component, a biolo
g
y/wildlife science teaching function, a third piece will be the Arctic Region Supercomputer Center, and the fourth piece will be the virology lab.  The Systemwide Academic Council met with representatives from the Department of Environmental Conservation 
a
nd the Department of Health and Human Services to talk about our collective need for lab facilities.  What came out of that meeting was 51风流官网's Bioscience building and a companion bioscience building at UAA.  We realize we can't possibly build the facility 
f
ast enough to meet our needs for research space on the west ridge.  Vice Chancellor Frank Williams is actively pursuing the concept of constructing a shell of a research building that would then have clients based upon their need and ability to pay to fur
n
ish their space. There are three or four groups interested.  The building would be to the north of the Museum.  The other piece of West Ridge is the rehab of existing facilities.  That has stalled because of lack of money.  We live with lots of code viola
tions and make do.  However, whenever we do a renovation we are obligated to do an upgrade.  
\par 
\par The FY04 51风流官网 budget initiatives recommendation will be going to the Chancellor's Cabinet later today and will go to the Provost's Council next week.  We have a lo
t of work to do before January 10th when we send in our recommendations to systemwide.  Provost Reichardt believes that the FY04 budget request will be significantly less than what we have asked for the last three years.  The message will be with this $17
 
million addition in FY03 that we have fixed what is broken, we have demonstrated our ability to generate additional funds outside of state appropriation and that we will be more focused in the initiatives for which we request additional funding.  We need 
to do a lot of paring down to what came forward from committees and will have to develop some themes and specific things that we want to accomplish with this next budget request.
\par 
\par CRA Executive Dean Bernice Joseph and Paul Reichardt have agreed on a first s
tep of the addressing the recommendation of the accreditation team that we need to do more to integrate the rural campuses into what is going on in Fairbanks.  They will be putting up some travel money during spring semester.  Bernice Joseph will be polli
n
g the directors and faculty at rural campuses to see which 51风流官网 faculty they would like to have visit their campuses.  They will pay 75% and the colleges will be asked to pay the other 25%.  They envision that visits will be initiated by faculty.  It will 
m
eet the needs and desires of the rural campuses.  Faculty members who visit will spend time with faculty and students on the campus and also spend time in the community.  It will be a good way to start building bridges between Fairbanks based programs and
 those at the rural sites.  
\par 
\par Reichardt invited Registrar Ann Tremarello to make announcement of her retirement June 30th.   Ann Tremarello indicated that she has been here for almost 45 years and that for the most part it has been very rewarding.  She will
 leave with much regret.  Norm Swazo offered his congratulations on her forthcoming retirement on behalf of the Faculty Senate.  
\par 
\par Peter McRoy indicated that he has heard that the biology faculty were less than enthused about sharing space with the super c
omputer.  Paul Reichardt indicated that this would be an add on to the facility which would be paid by ARSC.  Abel Bult stated that a fifth part of the bioscience facility is the animal facilities.

\par 
\par }\pard \ri180\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin180\lin0\itap0 {Car
ol Gold said that she and the Faculty Alliance were able to convince statewide of the need for faculty development money.  They have a $50,000 commitment from statewide from the BP Phillips money toward faculty development.  This money is for all three ca
m
puses.  Dan Wheeler's visit to 51风流官网 was funded with that money.  51风流官网 has chosen to use their portion of the money to do an assessment of its needs in faculty development.  UAA is using the money to send faculty to conferences and to bring up people.  The t
hree faculty development officers have started meeting regularly to coordinate efforts.  This is movement in the right direction.  
\par 
\par Gold indicated that she has been visiting the rural sites.  She visited Bethel and Dillingham and came home very jazzed.  Sh
e encourages everyone to take advantage of the funds available from the Provost and Deans to go out and visit the rural sites.  She will be visiting other rural sites in January and February.  
\par 
\par Gold stated that she attended the UAA Faculty Senate meeting last week and they had a lively discussion on Ph.D. programs.  
\par 
\par Another component of the www.uaonline.alaska.edu will be a student portion.  This will be available to faculty and advisors.  You will be able to access class lists, transcripts, etc.  It should be up and running mid-January.

\par \tab B.\tab Staff Council - S. McCrea
\par 
\par Larry Ledlow, President-elect spoke on beha
lf of Scott McCrea.  Scott McCrea has also visited a couple of the rural sites and will be visiting more in the spring.  This proved very valuable as they have a different perspective.  Staff Council elections have just been concluded and announced.  Staf
f Council will be meeting on Friday, December 14th.  
\par 
\par An important issue on agenda today is the proposed amendment on sexual orientation.  Staff Council is very interested to see how that proceeds.  The seeds for their discussion stemmed from the School Bo
ard debate.  To most of the people on Staff Council it seemed to be very straightforward.  Discussions with President Hamilton gave them a feeling that it might cause the legislature to put the university under a great deal of scrutiny.  Staff Council has
 
taken a step back and they are looking at the language changes.  One thing they lacked is some significant recent cases of discrimination.  It the spring they hope to hold some discussion forums and then later will make a positive action on the sexual ori
entation issues.

\par 
\par \tab C.\tab President's Comments - N. Swazo
\par 
\par Norm Swazo reminded senate members that last time we were planning to continue a discussion on classified research.   It turns out that both Vice Provost for Research Ted DeLaca and Geophysical Institu
te Director Roger Smith were not able to be present today because of a conflicting meeting.  So the discussion will be postponed until the February meeting at which time both Ted DeLaca and Roger Smith will be available.  Ted DeLaca is trying to arrange t
wo  speakers to come to 51风流官网 and give a presentation both pro and/or con.  Swazo is working on a third speaker invitation.  At the Faculty Alliance meeting the other two senates expressed an interest in being involved either by a visit or audio.  
\par 
\par Swazo rec
ently attended a Systemwide Governance Council meeting.  President Hamilton expressed an interest in how we can recognize faculty and there is interest in seeing how we can move faculty into the University Professor and Distinguished Professor ranks.  The
 Faculty Alliance will continue this discussion.  There was a Systemwide Governance Council retreat.  He was planning on attend but came down ill and returned to Fairbanks early.  
\par 
\par 
\par 
\par V\tab Discussion Items
\par 
\par \tab A.\tab Early Tenure
\par 
\par Debi McLean-Nelson indicated that the Faculty Development, Assessment & Improvement Committee has been discussing the issue of how long it takes to be able to stand for early tenure.  
\par 
\par Provost Reichardt indicated that the rumor came to him that he does no
t support early tenure.   He was asked what information he could provide about the details of the tenure applications.  He was able to give a summary (see agenda attachment).  Last year 15 applications came to the Provost with positive recommendations; 5 
h
ad completed 2 years at 51风流官网.  Four were awarded promotion and tenure and 1 withdrew after his negative recommendation.  There were 4 additional applicants that had three years service at 51风流官网.  Three of them received tenure and promotion and one withdrew a
f
ter his negative recommendation.  One applicant had 4 years, and 5 applicants had five years service.  Positive recommendations were given to 13 out of 15.  However, if these had come to him at the peer review level he personally would probably have given
 
a negative recommendation on most of them.  In his role as Provost it was only where there was a split vote that he interjected his personal opinions.  He has no concerns about the files that come in the fourth or fifth year.  It does concern him that out
 of the 15 applications nine had three years of experience or less.  The question is whether this is the kind of tenure system we want.  
\par 
\par Gary Holton asked if some of the problems with early tenure would disappear if early tenure was binding and candidates
 could not withdraw.  Reichardt said that if applicants couldn't withdraw their file then he suspects we would see a much different pattern of years in rank from the applicants.  
\par 
\par Joan Leguard asked about years in rank at other institutions.  Reichardt in
dicated that there are few.  In the sciences some faculty are hired at the assistant professor level with a couple years experience at the post-doctorate level and they are able to create a record as researchers.  In the other areas there may be some with
 experience as a visiting faculty member or a term faculty member.  That experience is usually heavily weighted in instruction.  
\par 
\par Reichardt said there is nothing wrong with the procedures and he is only questioning the subjectivity of early tenure review and acceptance of this standard.  
\par 
\par John Leipzig indicated that many times it's a salary issue and the 10% pay increase that motivates early tenure applications.  Ron Illingworth indicated that it seems to be a two-prong issue that is addressed by the barga
ining agreement and by the faculty involved in the evaluation.  
\par 
\par Norm Swazo stated that it was an issue of collective bargaining and that it was also an issue of unit criteria.  Reichardt disagreed that this is a CBA policy issue; it is a matter of how the faculty in the peer review unit apply the unit criteria.  

\par 
\par 
\par 
\par VI\tab Old Business
\par 
\par \tab A.\tab Motion to recommend that the UA Board of Regents' amend the UA non-discrimination statement.
\par 
\par Godwin Chukwu spoke with Jamo Parrish concerning the addition of the phrase "
sexual orientation" to the Board policy.  Parrish's  response is included in the agenda.  There are two choices the Senate can make--to either withdraw the motion or pass it forward.  
\par 
\par Jane Weber indicated there is currently a significant grievance case p
ending.  Madeline Schatz commented that she followed the recent School Board discussion.  One of the things they talked about is the right of human dignity.  That was one of the main reasons they decided to pass the policy.  She feels that this would give
 faculty members and students the same human right and human dignity and protection for others to  stand up for them.  She urged the Senate to pass the motion.  
\par 
\par Michael Hannigan had three points to make--Jamo Parrish stated that adding to the list would be confusing.  He agrees with that and sees it as a separate statement.  He disagrees with the statement that Parrish is unaware of any complaints.  We do need to
 find some way to list this item "sexual orientation" as an area that needs to be addressed.  
\par 
\par Pete Pinney remarked that he started with this issue in 1985.  Every council has always said that it was in the policy.  If it came to a court case, because the 
exact wording is not there, it would become the issue.  This is a preventive measure.  It can be a recruiting tool. Pinney sees this as a very positive move.  He also appreciates the political pressure.  He strongly supports the motion.  
\par 
\par Eduard Zilberkant asked for clarification about the legality of adding the phrase sexual orientation.  Godwin Chukwu indicated that he discussed this with Jamo Parrish and there is no federal or state law that specifically addresses sexual orientation.  

\par 
\par Ron Illingworth 
proposed an amendment to the motion to eliminate the phrase "or sexual orientation" and add a new sentence that states "Further, discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited."  Mitch Roth indicated that he would like to support the motion but 
f
elt that it was a special interest policy and would like to see something broader.  He asked for an amendment to change "sexual orientation" to "personal characteristics".  The second amendment failed for lack of a second.  The original amendment passed. 
 The motion as amended passed with two nays.

\par 
\par Patrick Marlow, a term faculty member at the Alaska Native Language Center, spoke in favor of the adding "sexual orientation" to the policy.  People he deals with on a daily basis are very used to dealing with and em
bracing cultural differences.  He also works extensively with the School of Education, the Linguistics program, Alaska Native Studies, and Anthropology, all of which are very liberal branches of the field.  He has never experienced any discrimination.  He
 
applauds the faculty, staff and administration of the university for their openness.  He feels that it has been a result of his openness and that most lesbian and gay faculty are not so open.  By putting a policy in place we say that someone can't have po
wer over you on this basis.  He also agreed with Pete Pinney that this is a major recruitment tool.

\par Executive Summary
\par Certificate, Medical Billing and Coding
\par 
\par 
\par The field of medical administration has expanded in recent years.  The Medical Billing and Coding Program is designed to incorporate theory and application.  This focused delivery will provide the
 student with the knowledge and job skills required for entry-level employment in the medical field.
\par 
\par There is a current and future need for trained medical billers and coders.  Health care delivery is changing.  Practitioners are being challenged to deliv
er quality patient care as well as contain the rising costs.  Managed care programs, patient's loss of insurance and reduction in benefits, cost containment measures, and community pressure have amplified the market for competent and cross-trained medical
 billers and coders.  
\par 
\par To summarize, there is a current need for educated medical billers and coders, which is projected to extend into the foreseeable future.  The proposed Medical Billing and Coding Certificate program will prepare students for employmen
t in the medical field.  Implementation of this program will position the College of Rural Alaska, Tanana Valley Campus to meet the present and increasing demand for vocational-technical training and provide the medical community with medical billers and 
coders.

\par The University of Alaska provided four-year undergraduate B.Ed. degrees at UAA, 51风流官网 and UAS until the Board of Regents suspended admission to these degrees in 1998.  Since they have been replaced by new degrees, 
we are requesting that the B.Ed. be deleted.  Students who were declared as B.Ed. majors prior to that time have had the option, and the support necessary, to complete their degree requirements by December of 2002. 
\par 
\par Between 1998 and 2001, the only route f
or students wishing to gain teacher certification within the UA system was to complete a 5th year, post-baccalaureate teacher preparation program.  However, in 2000, each MAU was given permission to develop a new undergraduate degree program that would pr
e
pare students as elementary teachers.  In June of 2001, the UA Board of Regents approved new undergraduate degrees at each of the MAU's.  These degrees, all defined as a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, serve as a replacement for the B.Ed. at eac
h of the three campuses.  The new degrees were designed collaboratively by UAA, 51风流官网 and UAS faculty and there is transferability for students throughout the University of Alaska system.

\par Since there is a well-documented and critical need for teachers in Alaska, the addition of a new undergraduate degree to replace the B.Ed. is an important step to take in responding to this need. 
\par 
\par The new BA in Elementary Education provides the option for students in rural areas, as well as those on the Fairbanks Campus, to seek an undergraduate degree and teaching certificate in a muc
h-needed profession.  The teacher shortage in rural areas, the high teacher turnover rate, and the predicted shortage in urban areas is a critical problem that the University system can, and should, respond to by providing this new degree option.

\par Executive Summary
\par MAT, Elementary 
\par 
\par In 1999, in conjunction with the development of a new post-baccalaureate teacher education programs for elementary and secondary teachers, the School of Education decided to test a pilot program that allowed post-baccalaureate teacher edu
cation students to earn an MAT degree in conjunction with the coursework and internship required for a teacher education license.  After two years, with ongoing review and reflection of the advantages and disadvantages of the pilot MAT option (including t
he solicitation of a great deal of feedback from cooperating mentor teachers and administrators), the School of Education suspended admission to its MAT programs in spring 2001.  
\par 
\par In place of the MAT, the School of Education designed an option for post-bac
calaureate teacher education students to pursue the more respected and more rigorous M.Ed.  This option allows post-baccalaureate students to use 15 of the required 27 credits from their licensure program to satisfy one-half of the 30 credits required for
 an M.Ed. Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  
\par 
\par This new option has been in place for two years and the response from students, university faculty and school district personnel has been very positive.  In contrast to the MAT degree, the M.Ed. provides th
e option for students who complete our post-baccalaureate teacher education programs to continue their graduate work with us, and it provides the opportunity for the School of Education to provide professional development and support for beginning teacher
s.  The M.Ed. can also be used as a foundation for a Ph.D. because of its requirements for research and the completion of a research project or a thesis.

a is that as long as the Dean is making a  commitment to the resource requirement, then the Provost will review accordingly.  The motion passed without objection.

\par 
\par Master's of Software Engineering
\par 
\par The Masters in Software Engineering is m
eant to prepare students for careers as software practitioners, i.e., those whose primary job is to develop or maintain software.  It this goal is well met, then the program will directly benefit software practitioners and their employers.  
\par 
\par The main reas
on for the existence of the field of software engineering is to seek and find solutions to various software practitioners' performance problems.  Thirty-two years of software engineering efforts have produced good results in software engineering technical
 
areas such as tools, process, re-use, testing, et cetera and in management areas such as software project management.  Unfortunately the fruits of this labor are often not known to or used by software practitioners.  Thus the 51风流官网 Software Engineering prog
ram goal is to help improve the performance of software practitioners through knowledge, understanding and use of software engineering principles and practices.  
\par 
\par This program has been a successful track in the computer science graduate program since its i
nception in 1993.  The software engineering track in the Computer Science Master's program was originally intended as an independent program, but was developed as a track for budgetary reasons.  We are now proceeding with the separation of this track into
 a separate program according to our original plan.  The program is not otherwise being changed from its already successful form.  Indeed, the graduates of this program have been successful in obtaining employment.

\par November 29, 2001, 1:00-2:00pm, Chancellor's Conference Room
\par 
\par Present:  Barbara Adams, Patty Baldwin, John Bruder, Rich Carr, John Creed, Cindy Hardy, Marty Getz, Marjie Illingworth, Ron Illingworth, Wanda Martin, Joe Mason, Greg Owens, Jake Poole, Jane Weber.
\par Guest:  Maynard Perkins.
\par 
\par The Committee met and discussed the following items:
\par 
\par Developmental Studies Assessment:
\par 
\par We discussed plans for the Developmental Programs assessment.  Maynard Perkins joined us by audioconference.
\par 
\par We discussed the timeline for the assessment.  Jake recommended that we divide the work,
 so that Perkins involvement will be primarily in designing the project and compiling the reviewers' comments after their site visit.  Perkins will identify and contact the outside observers and forward questions that we formulate outlining the areas we w
a
nt them to address.  Members of the committee will work to answer questions Perkins has sent us about the currents status of our programs.  We hope to bring all the observers to 51风流官网 during the same time period to facilitate getting them to our widely spre
ad sites.
\par 
\par From the information we gather in this assessment process, we will develop and implement a plan of action for Developmental Programs.  The assessment will take place in the spring semester, and we should have a report by fall.  Before that point,
 we will need to identify faculty who will need course releases to design a plan to implement the findings of the assessment.
\par 
\par For now, we are compiling a list of possible reviewers and forwarding them on to Perkins.  We are also revising a list of questio
ns about our programs that we would like the reviewers to address, and preparing to address a set of questions from Perkins about the current status of our programs.
\par 
\par Tenure-track status of developmental faculty:
\par 
\par We touched on the question of the lack of tenure track positions in developmental programs.  We will continue to explore actions this committee can take to change this situation.
\par 
\par The December 6th meeting of the committee was cancelled.  We agreed to meet December 19, 9 AM- 10:30 AM instead.

\par X\tab Members' Comments/Questions
\par 
\par Madeline Schatz commented to all faculty that when the new b
argaining agreement comes up they need to look closely at the grievance procedure.  Currently at each level of the grievance the University can designate a representative and it can be the same person at each level.  This does not give a new perspective a
t each level.  
\par 
\par Peter McRoy commented on the Master Plan.  The Master Plan deals mostly with placement of buildings and traffic flow.  One of his  concerns is parking.  The plan calls for fewer parking spaces.  This is a safety concern for women especially
.  Darkness is also a factor at the University.  There also needs to be an aquatic building put back into the plan.  
\par 
\par Norm Swazo suggested that Peter McRoy, as chair of the Faculty Affairs Committee, put his concerns in writing to the Chancellor with copies to the Master Planning Committee and to the Provost. 
\par 
\par Gary Holton indicated that he has no problem with finding parking, it is a matter of location.
