Agenda Item VII: [ACTION ITEM] Proposed Revision to Campus Smoking Policy: Karen Whitney (Vice Chancellor for Student Life & Diversity, 4.8990, whitney@iupui.edu) and Ellen Poffenberger (Assistant Vice-Chancellor for Human Resources, 4.8932, epoffenb@iupui.edu).

Vice Chancellor for Student Life & Diversity Karen Whitney and Assistant Vice Chancellor for Human Resources Ellen Poffenberger gave the second reading of a proposed revision to the IUPUI smoking policy:

“Smoking Tobacco Policy

Effective July 1, 2004 August 14, 2006

Tobacco use, including but not limited to smoking is prohibited on university owned, and operated orand leased property.within 30 feet of building entrances, exits, partially or fully enclosed walkways and ventilation systems.

All buildings, doorways, and fully or partially enclosed walkways connecting buildings will be smoke free. Exceptions may be granted for specific auxiliary enterprises, as approved by the Chancellor.

Smoking is not permitted in university owned, leased, or operated licensed vehicles.

Advertising, sale, or promotion of tobacco products and the sponsoring of campus events by

tobacco companies or tobacco-promoting organizations for the purpose of promoting tobacco related products is not permitted.

Enforcement of this policy will depend upon all members of the campus community faculty, staff, and students to not only to comply with this policy but also to and encourage others to comply with this policy in order to ensure a healthy environment in which to work, study, and live. Complaints regarding Violations of this policy should be referred to the appropriate administrative office for review and appropriate administrative action: For faculty the Office of Academic Policies, Procedures and Documentation; for staff, Human Resources Administration; or for students, the Office of The Dean of Students.”

The discussion that followed included questions and observations re: enforcement; possible alienation of colleagues who smoke; the promotion of smoking cessation programs; the right of students to wear tobacco company-related apparel; the impact of a smoke-free campus on whether or not younger students will take up the habit; freedom of expression, etc.

The IFC declined to take an official vote at this time—asking that the committee redraft the paragraph relating to tobacco promotion on campus—but a “straw poll” revealed a nearly 50% split [of those for and against banning tobacco use on campus].

Faculty should forward feedback on the proposed tobacco policy to the IFC office; it will be collected and forwarded to Vice Chancellor Whitney.

Agenda Item VIII: [UPDATES] From Academic Affairs: Betty Jones (Chair – Academic Affairs Committee, 4.2248, betjones@iupui.edu).

Jones updated the IFC on the current version of the Principles of Undergraduate Learning (“PULs”). The committee is still working on one outstanding piece of the PULs: the definition of “Critical Thinking.”

Jones also announced that a 1-page proposal on general education at IU is forthcoming from the University Faculty Council (“UFC”) Educational Policies Committee [of which she is co-chair].

Agenda Item IX: [ACTION ITEM] From Research Affairs – Lab Access Policy: Simon Atkinson (Chair – Research Affairs Committee, 8.0435, satkinso@iupui.edu).

Atkinson gave a second reading of the Access to Laboratories Policy (http://www.iupui.edu/~fcouncil/documents/labaccess.htm) [which was electronically distributed for its first reading]. This draft will be slightly revised to clarify that faculty emeriti and students under the age of 16 involved in programs like SPAN are among those approved for lab access.

The motion was made to approve the policy with the suggested revisions. The motion carried unanimously. The policy will be presented for UFC action in late March.

Agenda Item X: [FIRST READING] From Research Affairs/Distance Education – Intellectual Property Policy: Simon Atkinson.

Atkinson —joined by Distance Education Committee Chair Anna McDaniel—then gave the first reading of the revised Intellectual Property Policy (“IPP”) (http://www.iupui.edu/~fcouncil/documents/IPP-IFC-Draft-1-06.htm). To offer some context for the revisions, Atkinson provided the IFC with the final report by the committee that reviewed the existing IPP (http://www.iupui.edu/~fcouncil/documents/ipp_rev_comm.pdf).

Among other things, the revisions to the IPP are intended to clarify standards, strengthen faculty oversight, and address the unique issues presented by online course materials.

The IFC will act on the IPP at its April 4^th meeting. The policy will be up for UFC action in late April.

The current IPP policy can be viewed online at http://research.indiana.edu/respol/intprop.html.

Agenda Item XI: Call for any FC or UFC Standing Committee reports.

No discussion.

Agenda Item XII: Chancellor's Report: Charles Bantz (IUPUI Chancellor & IU Vice-President).

Bantz briefed the IFC on the following:

• The IUPUI Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams were eliminated in the semi-final round of the Mid-Con Tournament. The Chancellor applauded the teams for their stellar performances on the court and in the classroom.

• The Chancellor thanked the IFC for their thoughtful discussion on integrated image, general education, intellectual property, and tobacco use policy.

Agenda Item XIII: President's Report: Bart Ng (IUPUI Faculty President & UFC Co-Secretary, 4.8185, bng@math.iupui.edu).

Ng briefed the IFC on the following:

• The Board of Trustees have reviewed and suggested minor revisions to the Conflict of Commitment policy. Ng will follow up with the IFC.

• The IUPUI Admissions Policy—revised pursuant to the UFC-approved “Policy and Template and Guidelines for Campus Admission Policies” was presented to the Trustees and received favorably. No action has been taken yet.

• The Trustees approved Guidelines for “Developing New Graduate Programs at Indiana University” [a policy which impacts so-called regional campuses more than IUPUI or IUB].

• A university policy for the “Search and Screen Process for Senior Administrators” has had its first reading before the UFC.

• In light of the speed of progress expected by the Trustees on many policy issues, as well as the fact that our IUB colleagues meet twice a month, the IFC Executive Committee is reviewing ways in which the IFC might streamline its process for first readings.

Agenda Item XIV: New Business?

No discussion.

Agenda Item XV: Question / Answer Period.

No discussion.

Agenda Item XVI: Unfinished Business?

No discussion.

Agenda Item XVII: Adjournment.

A motion to adjourn was made and seconded. The motion carried. Vice President Vermette adjourned the meeting at 5:36pm.
