Motion to approve October 3 minutes. Unanimously approved. 2. Motion to approve October 10 minutes. Seven votes to approve, one abstention. Approved. 3. October 10 Faculty Conference and Next Steps The Executive Council understood the faculty to have several key concerns: i. The expressed a desire for clearer procedures and clarified (not changed) criteria for service and research for tenure/promotion. ii. There do seem to be inconsistencies between schools in terms of implementation of the tenure/promotion criteria. iii. For promotion, there seemed to be consensus in favor of Unit Personnel Committees ending the practice of formulating their recommendations as strongly recommend, recommend or not recommend. iv. There was a great deal of concern expressed about programmatic need as a criterion for tenure. v. One question that was not fully addressed was whether we need a clearer distinction between qualifications for Associate and Full Professor. Pres. Weiss will send a short list of items to the Executive Council for input before she formulates a survey for faculty on these topics. 4. Proposed Provosts Council Policies (Up for a vote on Oct. 25) Pres. Weiss made a motion to ask the Provosts Council to place a hold on three policies until further discussion ensues. a. Motion to Request that the Provosts Council Place a Hold on the Academic Affairs Policy on Overload Teaching. Unanimously approved. b. Motion to Request that the Provosts Council Place a Hold on the Academic Affairs Policy on Independent Studies. Unanimously approved. c. Motion to Request that the Provosts Council Place a Hold on the Academic Affairs Policy on Terminal Degree Requirements for Adjuncts, Unclassified Staff and Managers Who Teach. 4 votes in favor, 3 votes opposed, and 1 abstention. Motion approved. VP Crawley will notify Vice Provost Daffron of these requests. She will also propose that the language of the Policy on Terminal Degree Requirements for Adjuncts, Unclassified Staff and Managers Who Teach be amended. Unit reps will solicit feedback from their units as to whether the inclusion of a clause such as or equivalent degree or or post baccalaureate degree would improve the proposed policy. 5. Suspension of the Masters in Sustainability Studies Program Prof. Ashwani Vasishth was recently notified by Provost Barnett that the Masters program in Sustainability Studies is being suspended. The exact reason for this decision is unknown to the Executive Council. Discussed the procedures for suspension of graduate programs. It is unclear whether the Graduate Council plays any role in this decision, and in this case it appears that they were not aware of the decision. What is the role of the Provosts Council? The FA? Pres. Weiss will request that Provost Barnett provide the Executive Council with a rationale for this decision and the policy on procedures for suspending graduate programs or other academic programs. 6. New Business Faculty have expressed concerns about overly rigid rules about formatting of posters printed by the Print Shop. These requirements (such as inclusion of specified 鶹 logo) seem especially inappropriate for academic events such as conferences. Pres. Weiss will express this concern to VP of Institutional Advancement Cathleen Davey. 7. Progress on Pending Items a. Rep. Mazza will ask Chief Information Officer George Tabback why faculty cant use gmail accounts. b. We are unaware of the status of the Strategic Planning Task Force consultant. c. Assoc. VP for Enrollment Management Chris Romano provided Pres. Weiss with a report on key indicators for Enrollment Management. The Executive Council will discuss this in future. d. Pres. Weiss met with the Student Government Association President and Vice President, who expressed enthusiastic interest in providing student input into the revision of Gen Ed and any reformatting of the student evaluations of teaching. They also expressed student dissatisfaction with the new policy against faculty providing photocopies of syllabi in classes. e. Rep McMurdy is researching definitions of shared governance and will report to us in the next week or two. The AAUP is holding a conference on this theme next week. Rep Kwak expressed interest in attending on our behalf. f. Pres. Weiss is following up with faculty representatives to BoT committees, and noted that a meeting of the Audit Committee is coming up. g. Pres. Weiss has contacted Pat Kozakiewicz about scheduling a meeting of the Executive Council with Pres. Mercer, Provost Barnett, and Dean Rosenberg on the question of the hiring of an Asst. Dean in SSHS, and a separate meeting of the Executive Council and the Presidents Cabinet. h. Pres. Mercer recently emailed faculty to welcome them to attend Communication Meetings on November 5, March 14, and June 25 at 10am and 1pm in Friends Hall. i. There is a Campus Facilities Master Plan workshop coming up. j. Rep Lipkin will begin attending ARC meetings as a liaison, but requests further guidance on his role there and what specific points the Executive Council wanted him to raise. Discussed the respective roles of ARC and the Executive Council.
