\par Robert Perkins spoke on behalf of the motion lowering the required project credits to 3 credits for the MS degree with project.  
\par 
\par Doug Reynolds also spoke on behalf of the 3 credits for master's degrees with project.  
\par 
\par Sarah Comstock spoke about the success of the Nanook SpringFest.  They held 15-20 different events throughout the weekend.  Served about 2600 people, including faculty, staff, and students.  One of the two ma
jor events included the SpringFest service projects which generated over 120 hours of volunteer service for different United Way agencies.  Another successful event to counteract the binge drinking was a program where 276 students pledged to stay sober.  
About 220 completed it.  There was a major decrease in underage drinking.  They feel it was a big success and are pleased with the number of students that were served and the number of faculty and staff involved.  
\par 
\par Rich Seifert spoke about his letter to fa
culty concerning the book "The College Hill Chronicles--How the University of 有料盒子视频 Came of Age" by Neil Davis.  To quote from his letter.  "The reason I feel so evangelical about this book, is that it has the same sort of value as does Dan O'Neill's boo
k
, the "Firecracker Boys."  It is of such importance because of the depth and insight it contains for those of us who have inherited the mission and responsibility of making this university what it is, and will become.  The history Davis reveals is so enri
c
hing and detailed, that it is incumbent upon us as faculty members to know it well.  The rewards for this are, to me, invaluable and beyond measure.  So much of it we couldn't imagine or know without his telling.  As an alumnus, a researcher for many year
s
, and now a faculty member, it was fulfilling in so many unforeseen ways.  The book adds immeasurably to my grasp of just how difficult and fantastic it was to build and maintain a nascent university in the far north, without statehood, without a deep con
s
tituency, without a history, with hardly any budget.  We are part of a very unique and compelling history, which Neil Davis has made available to us.   The book is available from the University Press.   I encourage you to take some time to know this book.
  The University you are creating, and students you serve, will be correspondingly enriched.  The book and its contents are the important message.  Thank you, Dr. T. Neil Davis, for the finest of gifts to all of us."

\par 
\par Craig Wisen indicated the budget liaison report was built upon Abel's report from last year that examines whether administrative expenditure
s for 有料盒子视频 have grown disproportionately relative to other expenditure categories.   There are seven tables as handouts.  They included job class codes, annualized percentage growth rate in EEO job codes, salary, annual allocation of FTE's by job class cod
e
s, total expenditures by BOR structure, amount expended growth rate, total expenditures.  This data looks at 有料盒子视频 only and is not a comparison with other universities.  Joe Trubacz indicated that the increase in Plant and Utilities is due to the new buildi
n
gs, much of it on the research side.  Financial/support services also included student services as well as administrative services not just in the financial area.  These broad categories are not designed to look at administrative growth.  These categories
 
are for EEO purposes.  Looking at whether or not an administrative expenditure is spent on faculty or statewide function is hard to disentangle from the grid.  Joe Trubacz indicated that they looked at each dean's office.  Each one has a different story. 
 While the budget has increased, the FTE have only slightly increased.

\par 
\par Chancellor Lind stated that he has finished reviewing all the promotion and tenure files.  There are some excellent files.  It was pleasant to see the accomplishments of our faculty members.  
\par 
\par The Chancellor had some discussion with Abel and Pete on the five outcomes measures.  We agreed that the numbers should be modified from the original proposal.  We should be reducing some of those 
targets.  We will be looking at the high demand job areas.  We should have figures that are realistic goals for us in terms of retention, enrollment, amount of research money, and the ratio of general fund to overall university revenues.  
\par 
\par On the budget--still waiting to see what takes place in Juneau.  The Chancellor is optimistic that we will come out with the Governor's 5% increase plus some help with the PERS/TERS effort.  
\par 
\par On the classified research policy, Chancellor Lind checked with statewide to s
ee where that is.  That has moved to a statewide regulation.  It will probably be drafted by the end of June.  The actual discussion will begin when faculty return in the fall.  There will be a number of sessions that will be held with the draft of the pr
oposal.  You will have an opportunity to express your views.  Mike Hostina is working on it and the Chancellor anticipates that the process will work.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind had lunch with the outstanding student employees.  He asked them about their experience at 有料盒子视频.  Without exception the comments regarding the quality of teaching and quality of faculty stood out in each case.   
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind very much enjoyed his relationship with this body.  He thanked the Senate for they support.  He has a great deal o
f respect for the work they have done.  Disagreements have always been handled with good humor and respect for one another.  Communications has never broken down.  
\par 
\par Peter McRoy asked if the statewide policy on classified research would include proprietary
 research.  The Chancellor did not think so.  Abel thanked the chancellor for not vetoing the 有料盒子视频 policy.  He also thanked the Provost and Joe Trubacz for meeting with them about the targets and taking the recommendations by the faculty seriously.

\par 
\par There have been 
requests over the last couple years for a common schedule across the UA system.  Conceptual it's a great idea; however, there are some real practical obstacles.  What SAC has done is ask the Student Services group to look at common dates for registration 
for each of the three MAU's and the withdrawal dates that are tied to tuition refunds.

\par 
\par Susan Herman spoke about the motion.  Discussion about creating a common format for syllabi was brought to the Curricular Affairs Committee on the basis that many of our syllabi vary considerably in terms of quality and detail.  T
he issue they addressed was of academic freedom.  It is very important that each of us be able to teach what we want to teach, the way we believe we ought to teach it, with our own methodology and with our own approach.  However, there are many adjunct an
d
 new faculty that need guidance in creating a good syllabus.  Now with the major emphasis we have on assessing student outcomes, it is very important to know what to measure.  If a statement of learning goals is not included in the syllabus it becomes ver
y
 complicated to measure whether or not we have achieved those goals.  We would like to make sure that all syllabi are easily recognized and understood by all students.  Along with the academic freedom to create our own syllabi comes the responsibility to 
d
o a careful, well thought out job--an adequate representation of what we are doing and why we are doing it and the opportunity for the student to understand what is involved in the course.  So they have created 11 categories that a syllabus should cover. 
 
\par 
\par Christa Mulder indicated that the Graduate Academic & Advisory Committee felt that this motion was too detailed and unnecessary for graduate level courses.  She asked for an amendment to insert "undergraduate" to the motion.  Abel Bult-Ito supported this
 requirement for graduate courses as well.  Christa indicated that the committee felt that many of the items would be TBA.  Lee Haugen spoke about the information that is needed for syllabi and supported the need for this information on graduate syllabus 
a
s well.  Rolf Gradinger stated that the major problem is this should be guidelines not regulations.  Dan Odess stated that this is a contract with the students and should list all basic expectations.  Michele He'bert indicated this was a way of assisting 
faculty in developing a good assessment tool.  The amendment to add "undergraduate" which would limit the motion to undergraduate syllabi failed by a vote of 9 yes and 15 nay.
\par 
\par Jane Weber stated that we should add other things to item #10 to include informa
tion for the statewide cross-regional courses.  Bill Schneider suggested that his be a friendly amendment to the motion.  There was no objection.  She also asked if this is effective Fall 2004 how it was going to be advertised.  This led to a discussion o
f deans reviewing syllabi.  Joy Morrison is also available with lots of resources and help to develop a syllabus.
\par 
\par Mark Box has been involved for many years in the CLA academic council and has been frustrated with badly thought out course proposals.  Howeve
r, he feels the whole proposal is a bad idea.  Comments from his department include concern about enforcement. Syllabi already include many of these items, and we don't need micro-management--it should be left in the hands of the designer.  Mark Box indic
ated that students will not read this lengthy document.  He urged the Senate to vote it down.

\par 
\par \tab The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Unit Criteria has found aspects of the 有料盒子视频 document "Faculty Appointment and Evaluation Policies" unclear, inconsistent with current University practice, and of less than optimal utility.
\par 
\par \tab There is currently inconsistency in how the Blue Book breaks down the category of Service and how it is treated in our annual reporting for
 the University. In the "Blue Book", Service consists of two parts: Public Service and University Service. In our annual reports, we must also indicate activities that constitute Professional Service. We believe it is appropriate to modify the "Blue Book"
 
to reflect the way we are required to report our activities under the heading of Service so that all three types of service are included. Doing so will streamline the process of preparing a tenure or promotion file and allow faculty to more precisely cate
gorize our activities in the evaluation process.
\par 
\par \tab Under the current guidelines, activities such as reviewing grant proposals for funding agencies, serving as a referee for peer-reviewed journals, and serving as editor of a journal are categorized as resear
ch and creative activity.  Discussions with faculty members at 有料盒子视频 and other institutions clearly indicate that these activities are more appropriately categorized under Professional Service. We propose to change such activities from being counted as Rese
arch and Creative Activities to examples of Professional Service. Activities such as authoring an edited book will continue to be counted as research and creative activities.

following issues and promulgated the appropriate motions:
\par }\pard\plain \widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {
\par }\pard\plain \s23\widctlpar\adjustright \f4\cgrid {\f7 1.\tab Classified Research 
\par }\pard\plain \widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {A policy dealing with classified and proprietary research has been an agenda item for the committee for the past several years. The 02-03 Faculty Senate approved a revised mo
tion concerning classified and proprietary research which was vetoed by the chancellor.  This action required the formation of a new committee to reconcile the differences between the senate and the administration.  The Reconciliation Committee consisted 
o
f 3 representatives each from faculty (M. Box, R. Collins and P. McRoy) and administration (T. DeLaca, R. Smith and M. Hostina).  The committee met twice but the discussions resulted in an impasse leading Faculty Affairs to prepare a new revised motion on
 
classified and proprietary research for senate consideration.  The motion was sent to the senate where it passed and then to the chancellor.  The chancellor has decided to take no action on the motion so it will become 有料盒子视频 policy.  However the statewide a
dministration is preparing a set of university-wide regulations that will supersede the 有料盒子视频 policy.

\par Through the efforts of Craig Wisen, the senate budget liaison, Faculty Affairs extended the work on the budget process begun by Abel B
ult in the previous year.  A separate report will be made to the senate.  The report compares the growth of the 有料盒子视频 budget by job category (Regents classification) and by unit (colleges, schools, institutes, departments and administration units). This pro
vides a valuable picture of how the university is changing and must be a continuing effort of the Faculty Affairs Committee.

\par For many years the university has had a policy requiring payment and processing of parking viol
ation tickets prior to registration for classes which constitutes a de facto course registration prerequisite. The 有料盒子视频 catalog gives no indication that registration for classes requires that all parking tickets, irrespective of whether they are overdue or
 not, need to have been paid for and processed by Parking Services as a prerequisite for class registration.  
\par 
\par This issue was reviewed in November and a resolution seeking change was sent to the Faculty Senate. The resolution was returned to Faculty Affair
s with a rebuttal from parking management.  However the issues that prompted the first resolution continued so the resolution to end the practice was again sent to the senate (passed).
\par 
\par 4.\tab Bookstore
\par Faculty Affairs met with members of the University Bookstore staff to discuss issues raised by faculty concerning the timely availability of books for classes, the number of books ordered and procedures for changes in book orders.  The meeting identified 
several steps in the process where faculty could be kept informed of the progress of orders and any changes.  The committee recommended that the bookstore staff review and revise its procedures.

\par In the final meeting of the academic 
year the committee also discussed the presentation by the "Students for Academic Freedom" representative that was given to the senate in April during public comments.   Additional information about this new group indicates a very different agenda from the

\par 
\par The following report was distributed as a handout. 
\par 
\par Final report, Curriculum Review 2003-2004
\par 
\par The Curriculum Review committee has completed its review of courses submitted for review. In the Fall semester there were 129 requests and in the Spring semester there were 54. In most cases, the committee was abl
e to easily approve the requests since they had been through extensive review at the department, school, and college levels.
\par 
\par The perspective we were able to bring to the review process centered more on larger questions such as, "If this course is dropped,
 then how do students get this type of information" or, in the case of new programs, "How can we be sure that this program will have the financial support it will need to continue and if it doesn't get the support then what will the impact be on students.
"
 In most cases if we were not able to actually resolve our questions, we were able to raise the issue with the department representatives who came to talk with us. This often led to a resolution and may have been helpful to the representatives, exposing t
h
em to the concerns of a campus-wide committee. For instance, in one case we questioned a policy statement by a department that would limit access to upper division classes to departmental majors and we were able to get them to agree to an amendment that w
ould permit an instructor to approve admitting qualified students at the instructor's discretion.
\par 
\par Over the course of the year, we requested representatives from 12 departments to come and explain their requests and we were very pleased that 11 departments 
responded. In most cases, the representatives were able to clarify the issue and we were able to work out an approval for their request.
\par 
\par It may be helpful to note some of the issues that have come up over the year that influence the academic program we offer at 有料盒子视频.
\par 
\par 1) A healthy academic environment needs to offer new courses and programs as societal and industrial needs require.  In the present state financial environment, there is very little flexibility in the university budget to add new offerings. Fo
r instance, in evaluating the proposed Early Childhood Program, the committee recognized the value and need for this program but questions were raised about administrative support and a subsequent committee raised the question of student support after the
 enabling grant period ends. This type of problem can't be resolved without state funding. We mention it here as an observation about budgetary constraints and how they impact program development.
\par 
\par 2) We noted that accreditation is a strong driving force th
at influences course offerings and that it must be balanced against the particular needs of our students. In several cases, our committee noted that it seemed like the argument offered for course changes was too strongly influenced by accreditation dictat
es.
\par 
\par 3) One of the justifications offered for course changes was faculty turn over and the need for the curriculum to reflect the faculty's expertise. We hope that the turn over rate is used as an opportunity to build program in a well thought out direction
 and not just to excuse the dropping of courses in a particular area.
\par 
\par 4) In those cases where there is a course that impacts other departments, there is a call for review by the impacted department but no sign off required to show they have reviewed the proposed change.  This can be done simply.
\par 
\par 5) Some committee members were concerned about what appears to be fewer opportunities for students to get course instruction on the ethical issues that impact their particular discipline.
\par 
\par 6) The course procedures manual should show curriculum council's deadlines.  Posting this will help.

\par \tab B\tab President's Remarks - Abel Bult-Ito
\par 
\par Abel Bult-Ito welcomed the new members and thanked them for serving on the Faculty Senate.  Abel would like to pursue three goals next year.  One is to strengthen shared governance not
 only at 有料盒子视频 but also at the UA statewide level.  Communication with statewide has not been great and we will continue to work on that and get them to understand and respect shared governance.  The next mission is to break in the new chancellor.  Abel wil
l
 do his best to enhance the communication between the new chancellor and the faculty so that the transition to new leadership will be as smooth as possible.  The third goal is to clarify language on elections especially for president-elect.  This is a tas
k that will be assigned to Faculty Affairs Committee.

\par \tab C.\tab President-elect remarks - Michael Hannigan
\par 
\par Michael Hannigan looked at the requirements for the job and he is still willing to serve.  He is looking forward to working with the Faculty Senate.   
\par 
\par Abel is also looking forward to working with Michael.  It will be interesting because Michael is in Nome.  This will add a new dimension to these meetings.  It will be very exciting.  He is also happy that Pete Pinney is still on the Senate.   Pete will 
continue on the Faculty Alliance.  
\par 
\par Pete Pinney indicated that the Chancellor has agreed to upgrade the audio equipment and we are working on that purchase.  He has also agreed to support faculty governance with some additional travel funds.
