The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #19 on
May 7, 1990:
MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
=============
In the event that $1.9 million becomes available to supplement FY90
compensation, the 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate moves to recommend that the
faculty portion of these funds be distributed on an equal dollar basis
to all permanent faculty and that the increases be built into the base
salary.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: If compensation funds become available late
in the legislative session, this will give administration
a clear signal as to the faculty wishes for distribution.

MOTION PASSED (unanimous approval)
=============
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate moves to charge the Administrative
Committee to create a survey for faculty distribution based on
results of the self-study questionnaires. The survey will be
distributed in Fall 1990.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: It would be helpful if more significant data was
available on the issues addressed in the faculty self-
study questionnaire. The return from the original survey
was statistically small and was perhaps affected by it
being done as part of the self study.

The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #19 on
May 7, 1990:
MOTION PASSED AS AMENDED (unanimous approval)
========================
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate moves to endorse the following
recommendations of the 有料盒子视频 Assembly Computer Users Committee
included in its report dated April 16, 1990.
Recommendations
================
A director of academic computing should be appointed as soon as
possible. Given that funding for such a position was available last
year when Tom Hassler held the position, the appointment of this
director should not be contingent on increased state funding for the
proposed academic computing increment. The new director of
academic computing should act as expeditiously as possible to carry
out the following tasks:
- Coordinate with UAA to allow 有料盒子视频 users to make use of ACAD2
in Anchorage, which is operating at less than 20% of capacity.
- Institute procedures to route all CPU-intensive batch jobs to
ACAD2 in order to relieve the load on ACAD3.
- Communicate with research faculty regarding the availability
of supercomputer grants. The committee feels that it would
be appropriate to ban all jobs requiring more than a certain
amount of CPU time from the VAX given the availability of
such supercomputer grants.
- Communicate with all faculty regarding the availability of
off-campus computer resources via the Internet.
- Coordinate with UACN to arrange automatic distribution of
computer mail among various campus hosts using the
University's new class-B Internet license in order to decrease
the load on the VAX from electronic mail.
- Update the census of public computing facilities and prepare a
budget for repair and replacement. Our informal estimate is
that necessary repairs and replacements would cost around
$50,000 at this time.
- Prepare a census of rural campus computing facilities and
curriculum-related computer and telecommunication needs and
prepare a budget for repair, expansion, and replacement.
Because of the perception among faculty that funds for academic
computing have historically been (and continue to be) diverted to
administrative use, we strongly recommend that the new director of
academic computing should report directly to the Vice Chancellor of
Academic Affairs rather than to the Director of Planning and
Information Systems. This recommendation is not intended as
criticism of existing individuals, but rather as a way to deal with
widespread faculty perceptions by removing any appearance of
conflict of interest.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: The Academic Computer Users Committee has
spent the past three months studying the current state of
campus-wide academic computing at 有料盒子视频, during which
we have received input from students, faculty, 有料盒子视频 staff,
and statewide staff. This document summarizes our
findings, concerns, and recommendations.
This motion deals only with issues regarding campus-
wide academic computing.
Findings
========
ACAD3 has been at near 100% of both processor and port
capacity since January. Many users are unable even to
sign on, since the maximum number of allowed users is
often exceeded. For those who are able to sign on,
response time is often very slow.
Between 30% and 40% of processor use of the VAX is by
numerically-intensive jobs submitted by faculty and
graduate students. It appears that much of this is from
users in research institutes who use free time on ACAD3
instead of paid time on institute machines, or
supercomputer access which requires advance
permission.
A significant portion of VAX port use is by statewide
administrative users (SX accounts) who remain logged on
all day to use the electronic mail system (all users other
than statewide administrative users are automatically
logged off after a reasonable period of inactivity). This
contributes substantially to the problem with exceeding
the maximum number of allowed users .
Public-access student labs suffer from old, poorly-
maintained equipment.
There is a perception among faculty that funds for
academic computing have historically been diverted to
administrative use. Both 有料盒子视频 and Statewide personnel
have confirmed that this was standard operating practice
during the period when Statewide was responsible for all
computer administration. There is a strong suspicion
among faculty in many units that this practice has
continued since academic computing was turned over to
the units (with a tiny fraction of its original nominal
budget).

-------------------------------------------------------------
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #19 on
May 7, 1990:
MOTION PASSED AS AMENDED (unanimous approval)
========================
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate moves to establish the following policy on
evaluation of administrators:
POLICY
FACULTY ROLE IN ADMINISTRATOR EVALUATION
Coverage: The evaluation system would involve the evaluation of
"Academic Administrators" which would include Academic Deans,
Directors of Institutes, Director of Libraries, Rural Campus
Directors, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, and the Vice
Chancellor for Research and Dean of the Graduate School and the
Chancellor. Academic Administrators are defined as those
administrators holding academic rank whose positions directly
impact the academic program and whose performance directly
effects the ability of faculty to carry out their academic duties.
Purpose: The purpose of the evaluation is for the faculty to provide
appraisal of administrator's performance. The year in which the
faculty evaluate administrators, the faculty evaluation will be a
part of a regularly scheduled evaluation process carried out by the
appropriate Vice Chancellor for those who report to the Vice
Chancellor or by the Chancellor for the evaluation of the Vice
Chancellors.
Frequency: The faculty contribution to the evaluation process will
occur every four years, with each administrator conducting an
interim evaluation for their own benefit every two years. It is
expected that while administrators will continue to be evaluated on
an annual basis by the appropriate individual, the fourth year
evaluation will be more extensive and structured and will involve
substantial input from all faculty in the appropriate college,
institute or unit.
Composition of the Evaluating Committee:
The faculty of each unit shall elect five to seven members of the
senior faculty (tenured) of that unit to comprise a committee which
will gather, evaluate, analyze the faculty opinion of the performance
of the administrator heading that unit. The committee will prepare
a detailed report on the administrators performance as seen from a
faculty perspective which will be submitted both to the appropriate
Vice Chancellor, or in the case of Vice Chancellor's, to the
Chancellor and to the administrator being evaluated.
The faculty committee will use a uniform survey instrument in
soliciting faculty opinion so as to provide fair and comparable data.
This instrument will address both administrative and academic
contributions. The review process is expected to occur in the spring
semester of the fourth year projected to take no longer than three
weeks from the time questionnaires are sent to the faculty, to the
time a formal performance report is submitted to both the
administrator involved and the representative of the administration.
The report submitted shall be treated, in terms of confidentiality,
the same as performance evaluations of senior faculty.
Election of the Evaluating Committee:
The Senate shall conduct the election of members of the Evaluating
Committee for each academic unit.
Responsibility and prerogatives of the administrator being reviewed:
The administrator being reviewed shall be provided with a copy of
the survey instruments to prepare a evaluation addressing
significant performance areas for the period under review (4 prior
years).
This evaluation shall be distributed to all faculty along with the
survey instrument.
The administrator being reviewed will have the opportunity to
respond to and address any points developed in the evaluation and
submit comments. The report and the comments submitted by the
administrator being reviewed shall be considered together by the
administrator to whom the administrator being reviewed reports.
Role of the Chancellor or Vice Chancellor:
The Chancellor or appropriate Vice Chancellor may, at his or her
discretion, discuss material parts of the report or response with
either the committee of senior faculty or the administrator involved
prior to finalizing the evaluation of performance of the
administrator being reviewed.
The cognizant administrator will review the evaluation with the
Committee.
Evaluation of the Process:
Annually, the Senate or appropriate committee shall review the
effectiveness of the process and any instrument used with the
representatives of the review committees from the various
academic units. This review process will focus on improving the
effectiveness of the process and will not involve the disclosure of
elements of the evaluation report.
