·         Pay plan now in place for this academic year retroactive to beginning of contract year

·         Expect retroactive checks to be issued December 12, 2001

·         Plan came in at 3.2%, not 4.2% as anticipated, because state kept GPR it was going to contribute

·         Notion that percent came from student tuition and floating around somewhere not true

·         To fully fund 3.2% unclassified pay plan, need additional $144,000; that being managed also

·         Second reading today of salary plan for 2003-2004 proposed by Compensation Committee

·         During course of that year, will have 2.1% increase in July and another 2.1% increase in January

Compensation Committee – Second Reading – UW-Eau Claire Salary Plan for 2002-2003

 

Motion 38-CP-01

Moved and seconded by Compensation Committee (6-0-0) to recommend that the 2001-2002 UW-Eau Claire Salary Plan be revised as attached and submitted to the Chancellor as the recommended 2002-2003 Salary Plan

 

Further Debate:

·         Chair Wick responded to question from floor that if cut down outstanding teaching and merit awards from $650, more people would get those awards

·         Problem is if are going to label someone meritorious, should be sufficiently large award to go along with that; have been at $650 for a number of years

·         Personally believe ought to be determined by number of outstanding performers, not by fixed dollar amount

·         Not the way stands now and not the way committee feels

·         Percentage of faculty receiving incentive award depends on percentage increase of pay plan; at 3.2%, will probably be around 50%

·         Favor motion, promotion increases good, but in future will somehow need to also address long-term senior faculty members

·         Faculty and academic staff deemed extra-meritorious are not published

·         Part of personnel evaluation and, therefore not open to public; can see salaries

·         Don’t really see as evaluations since only positive; however, could figure out all the rest negative

·         Our money goes into plan and have every right to know where it goes

·         How else to aspire to be meritorious or an outstanding teacher if we don’t know who models are

·         Do post promotions and tenure decisions and those are personnel decisions

·         Some departments do share this information

·         To publish as an institution against System policy

 

Vote on Motion 38-CP-01: Motion PASSED. UW-Eau Claire Salary Plan for 2002-2003 to be forwarded to Chancellor

 

Technology Committee – Second Reading – Recommendation for Process of Technology Assessment and Possible Transfer

 

Motion 38-TC-01

Moved and seconded by Technology Committee (6-0-0) to support attached recommendation sent to Associate Vice Chancellor Dwyer on May 15, 2001

 

Vote on Motion 38-TC-01: Motion PASSED

 

TEXT OF RECOMMENDATION:

Forward support for a process that includes:

1) Hiring an outside consultant to provide the following:

        • An analysis of existing administrative technology systems and consultation with university offices to determine how procedures would be affected.

        • Consultation with UW-System on their strategic direction for our sister campuses.

        • A report recommending a strategic direction to move UW-Eau Claire forward in a timely fashion.

2) The consultant scheduling at least one open forum with faculty and staff to learn what functionality they need and what they can do without.

3) The consultant’s report being shared with the campus community.

4) The campus proceeding with a technology transfer in which existing staff are trained to do future modifications.

 

The committee is making this recommendation mindful that UW-Eau Claire has limited resources (in terms of both positions and dollars), that much of our funding comes directly from the taxpayers in the State of Wisconsin to whom we are accountable, and that other system campuses which have proceeded with conversions without sufficient planning have been forced to deal with unforeseen and costly problems. Our belief is that hiring a consultant at the beginning of the process will be more cost effective.

 

9.        Miscellaneous Business

 

Academic Policies Committee

Moved and seconded by the Academic Policies Committee (9-0-0) to recommend approval of the addition of a Dual Degree Emphasis to the existing Major: Physics, Liberal Arts

 

Debate

·         Requires at least 84 credits in three years here; specific sample schedules in motion packet

·         Would have to get verification actually completed engineering degree before granting physics degree here

·         If student decided not to complete engineering degree, would have to go back into regular catalogue program

38-AP-05 – Report on Changes to Geography Major – Senator Lozar

·         Proposal from Department of Geography by way of Arts & Sciences Curriculum Committee

·         Upon undertaking thorough review, department found the many emphases made it difficult for students to navigate through program

·         Courses sometimes not offered resulting in lots of paperwork for substitutions and difficult-to-read degree audits

·         Basically a simplification

 

Motion 38-AP-05

Moved and seconded by Academic Policies Committee (9-0-0) that the following changes in the Geography Liberal Arts Majors and Minors be approved:

 

Eliminate the Regional Specializations in the Comprehensive Major: Geography, Liberal Arts International Studies Emphasis:  Latin America (140-002), Asia (140-003), Africa (140-004), Europe (140-005)

Debate

·         New main emphasis is liberal arts; divided up courses into three categories with courses meeting all categories comprising a fourth one

·         Students take core courses and then two courses out of general category

·         Minimalist approach gives students and department more flexibility

·         Within major, four main tracks are liberal arts, geographic techniques, human geography, and physical geography

·         Did same thing to comprehensive major

·         Cartography track now under geographic techniques; do not lose ability to earn practical degree for those not choosing advanced education

·         Efficiency in program important because get very few majors prior to third semester on campus

 

POINT OF INFORMATION: Curricular changes completed by end of semester will appear in University Catalogue for Fall 2002; is time for postponing vote to next meeting

 

Vote on Motion 38-AP-05: Motion PASSED without dissention by vote of University Faculty Senators

38-AP-07 – Report on PAC Codes for Juniors and Seniors – Senator Lozar

·         Proposal from two groups – College of Arts & Sciences Retention Committee and Student Senate

·         Student Senate unanimously passed proposal to require PACs for juniors and seniors not in good academic standing

·         Intention is to provide good advising and assistance to students, particularly those in academic difficulty

 

Questions for Clarification of Report

·         Implementation date would be for Spring 2003 registration

·         Currently all freshmen and sophomores must see advisers to receive PAC; after sophomore year, seeing adviser is recommended

·         By time in academic difficulty should be going to other offices on campus for assistance

·         Part of adviser’s role to refer to appropriate resource depending on reasons for difficulty

·         Registration for next semester occurs before academic standing established, this will apply to following semester; will be a semester too late

·         If just for referral, don’t understand the point

·         Is good idea for students in academic difficulty to see advisers; not sure tying it to PACs will be effective

·         Advisers get lists of advisees with PACs early in semester; would be able to see if juniors and seniors are on list

·         Time enough to intervene for remainder of semester as well as advise on appropriate courses for following semester

·         If wait until student shows up in office for PAC, would probably be too late to affect current semester

·         Not first time issue surfaced

·         Five or six years ago came up during discussion of advising policy

·         Academic major advisers expected to closely monitor freshmen advisees and those who are experiencing academic difficulty

·         APC discussed two or three times requiring PACs for everyone

·         This is first time students in support of idea and first time actually presented as motion

·         Need opportunity to discuss this with faculty; would like to make sure don’t vote on today

·         Listing of all advisees on probation, suspension, or warning sent to advisers in grade report after end of semester; do not need to wait until get PAC to determine who is in trouble 

·         Purpose of PAC to put pressure on student to come get help they need or will not be able to register; not to preclude faculty initiatives, but to require students will come to advisers

·         Even though after registration period for semester after poor academic standing, this will potentially help high risk individuals obtain more success in their program

·         Will not cover those students in okay standing with university, but not getting grade point their major requires; APC did not talk about covering those students

 

Motion 38-AP-07

Moved and seconded by Academic Policies Committee (9-0-0) that Personal Advising Codes be required for Juniors and Seniors who are not in good academic standing

 

Debate

·         Catalogue language distributed

·         Would be difficult to implement for students not meeting major GPA requirements by junior year because major GPA not stored as an entity; would have to be calculated every time

 

Amendment 38-AP-07-a1

Moved by Senator Freymiller and seconded that Personal Advising Codes be required for all juniors and those seniors who are not in good academic standing

 

POINT OF INFORMATION: With present first reading/second reading process, can make amendments and vote on them, just cannot vote on main motion without suspension of rules; can move to postpone at any time

 

POINT OF INFORMATION: Parliamentary procedure requires dealing with each motion on floor before proceeding; why phrase without objection used to continue debate at next meeting

 

Debate

·         Junior status means 60 credits; only half of credits needed to graduate

·         Many of those credits are GE and core of major

·         Important to have more contact with juniors finally embarking upon majors to ensure choosing right course

·         Probably would add to advising load, but can give PAC quickly to students you know on right course

·         Making all juniors see advisers would add to quality of advising

·         Favor amendment; while sounds like more work, often end up dealing with messy problems down road which could head off during junior year 

·         With roughly 85 to 90 advisees, this not insignificant amount of work added; students are adults, handholding not teaching them responsibility

·         Perhaps should be looking at other remedies rather than add to faculty workload

·         In some majors, by time juniors, remainder of program straight forward; hesitate to use university-wide policy requiring additional workload with minimal payoff in some disciplines

·         Against amendment

·         Plenty of opportunity, even in School of Education, to get information needed

·         Students not doing well as traditional students may leave and come back later with way to get clean start

·         Talking about faculty workload, personal responsibility, and making choices

 

Vote on Amendment 38-AP-07-a1: Amendment DEFEATED by vote of University Faculty Senators

 

Debate on Main Motion

·         Number of nonteaching academic staff working with dean’s offices on regular basis to reach freshmen and sophomores in academic difficulty trying to ward off problems in junior and senior years

·         Not fixing all problems should not be argument against something relatively innocuous that may fix a few problems for small number of students

·         Need earlier intervention

·         Could have mid-semester grade reports sent out so students receive information on where they stand leaving time to seek counseling on options

·         In response to inquiry, Assistant Dean Wilma Clark indicated total of 290 juniors on warning or probation; number proportionate to population in colleges

 

Without objection, rest of debate on motion will be postponed until next Senate meeting

 

38-AP-08 – Report on Reducing Upper Division Credits – Senator Lozar

·         Proposal to reduce number of upper-division credits required for graduation from working group appointed by Provost

·         Origins about five years ago when redefinition implemented

·         Total number of credits toward degree reduced from 128 to 120

·         Discussion, but no action at that time, on portion of degree which should be upper division credits

 

Motion 38-AP-08

Moved and seconded by Academic Policies Committee (9-1-0) that the upper division credit graduation requirement be reduced from 43 to 39

 

Debate

·         Nothing magical about one-third of credits being upper division or uniform across disciplines; is tradition

·         Driving force behind motion results from reduction of total credits to degree

·         Also heard reports of students in College of Business having difficulty fulfilling requirement

·         Many courses three credits, so common sense to make number divisible by three

·         Many sciences have large number of courses required from outside major including calculus, chemistry, and physics

·         Many artificially numbered at 200 level for sequencing within major

·         Often make substitutions because don’t have solid numbering system clearly differentiating course content

·         From marketing point of view, transcripts with more upper-level courses might look better for job hunting and graduate school

·         Free to increase requirement within specific disciplines; should not legislate something universally that’s good for only few departments

·         Some disciplines more important for graduate school to have hard-core foundational science courses than 300-level courses

·         University-wide requirements do not preclude any department from instituting additional upper division requirements

·         Some students enroll in 300-level course simply to fulfill this requirement; not in major, not interested in subject, and can bring down level of discussion

·         Support reduction; lot of difficulty stems from extensive GE requirements and that many courses qualifying for GE are at 100 and 200 level with few 300 and 400 level courses satisfying requirements 

 

38-AP-08-RS – Moved by Senator Lozar and seconded that rules be suspended to allow vote on motion today – Rules Suspension PASSED by vote of 29 to 8

 

Vote on Motion 38-AP-08: Motion PASSED by vote of University Faculty Senators

 

Additional Miscellaneous Business

·         Senator Pitts motion to reconsider salary plan ruled out of order; must have voted on prevailing side on original motion to so move

·         Request Executive Committee reconsider operating rules of Senate on handling motions

·         Have been only three motions this semester for which rules have not been set aside; not serving purpose

 

Meeting adjourned at 4:55 p.m. without objection
