Faculty Council Minutes: November 4, 1999
Dental
School Building, Room 115: 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.
Attendance
Record and Original Agenda follow Adjournment as Attachments.
Agenda Item I: Call to
Order: Paul Galanti (IUPUI Faculty Vice-President)! Galanti
called the meeting to order at 3:34 and announced that President Porter would
be joining the meeting as soon as possible (she was due at the airport at
2:30), and that item VII of the agenda (on Final Exam Week policy) would be
deferred until the December or possibly the January meeting.
Agenda Item II: Approval of
Minutes for September 2, & October 7, 1999 (on web at
"http://www.iupui.edu/~fcouncil/minutes/fc990902html.htm" &
"http://www.iupui.edu/~fcouncil/minutes/fc991007html.htm"). Announcing
that a motion with a second to approve the minutes is not officially necessary
according to Roberts Rules of Order, Galanti called the question for approval.
The minutes for September 2nd and October 7th were approved.
Agenda Item III:
Chancellor's Report: Gerald Bepko (IUPUI Chancellor & IU Vice-President). Bepko
noted that at most of the meetings he attends these days including this one, an
update is given on IUPUI's continuing quest to improve retention and completion
rates for undergraduate students. He then called on Dean Plater to give that
update. Plater reported that it had been requested that the attendance rosters
be returned by the faculty earlier this year, and that 75% of them were
returned on time resulting in approximately 900 students correcting their
attendance patterns either by formally withdrawing or by changing sections to
reflect the accurate one. Plater congratulated all involved for the positive
impact and extended an appreciation for the faculty's cooperation, hoping for a
80% return next semester and 90% next year. He explained that this procedure
was prompted initially by a need to respond to changes in financial aid
policies by the federal government, but more importantly it is a way to ensure
that appropriate steps are taken to positively intervene with the students when
necessary. Any questions regarding particular units are to be directed to
Registrar Mark Grove (mgrove@iupui.edu).
Bepko gave an update on the (now called) Center for
Young Children. The contracts were awarded to Clune Construction Corporation of
Indianapolis. They are due to begin November 15th and finish July 28th with the
facility ready for business as anticipated for the fall semester of 2000.
Bepko gave an update on housing. The presentation by
the consultants to the Board of Trustees at their Fort Wayne October 28-29
meeting was well-received, but there was some concern expressed over the
limited size of the location (southwest end of the campus centering around the
Warthin Apartment Building). If housing is to be provided for 10% of the
student body then about 2600 beds will be necessary, but the proposed site
calls for only 1000 beds in 500 apartment units. So, at the request of the
trustees, and with the help of IUPUI's master planner, John Belle, the
administration will conduct a study to consider whether to build elsewhere, or
to retain the location along with another. At their IUPUI December 1-2 meeting,
the administration, along with Belle, will report on that study and again
request that the trustees approve the development of the site plan and the
request for proposals from outside developers for the construction of the
housing. The opening of available housing is anticipated in the fall of 2001 or
2002.
Initiatives have been launched over the years to
increase the diversity of the campus community several times, and there is yet
a long way to go, but for various reasons the 1999/00 academic year is the time
to renew that effort and achieve a higher level. Based on what we know about
community colleges in other states, the introduction of a community college
system in Indiana might impact negatively on university diversity due to a
decreased enrollment of minority students. Exactly why this might happen is not
clear, and we know it is not due to minorities generally being less prepared,
but regardless of why, for this and other reasons we will need to re-double our
efforts. A Diversity Cabinet has been created. It had its first meeting this
week. The cabinet will review IUPUI's data and conditions, will review the
strategies that have been employed to increase diversity, will set up
measurements and benchmarks to assess the progress of our success, and will
establish standards of accountability. The results of the cabinet will be
reported by the Chancellor on Martin Luther King Junior's birthday in January
in an address on the "State of Diversity on Campus," an address that
will annually parallel the December's "State of the Campus" address.
The Faculty Council leadership will soon be asked to
internally support the Campaign for IUPUI, the external community part of which
is going very well, with the public announcement scheduled for one and one-half
years from now. They will be asked to recommend faculty members for the
Internal Campaign Steering Committee, which will be charged to encourage as
many members of the university family as possible to contribute to the
campaign. No arms will be twisted and no one will be expected to do more than
they are able, but a commitment to regular contributions from a high percentage
of the employees goes a long way in explaining to those outside the institution
why resources should be donated. An especially high percentage of contributors
from the faculty will be expected, even if individual contributions remain
small. If everyone gives a little of their own resources we will have a big
commitment for the institution which will generate enthusiasm for the campus
within the community. Please jump on the bandwagon.
The Jaguars have been competing in Division I of the
NCAA for a little over a year now and have had some very interesting successes.
The men's soccer team is tied for first place in the nine-team conference
championship and the tournaments for both the men's and women's teams are being
held here on campus this weekend, with the men seeded first and the women
third. We'll be hosting some very strong teams but expect and hope to win both
conference championships.
At the Mid-National Convention in Atlanta last week
the College Media Advisors and Associated Collegiate Press awarded one of the
top two national awards to three
student members of the editorial board of the IUPUI Sagamore. J. M.
Brown, Bobby Bell, and Jill L. Hundley collaborated on an article that won the
national award for best "Story of the Year." The other top national
award was awarded to the IUB IDS (Indiana Daily Student) for best campus
"Newspaper of the Year." The competition included both daily and
weekly campus newspapers from across the nation. So, IU's School of Journalism,
at both IUB and IUPUI, won the two top awards of collegiate journalism for this
year.
Last, the student member of the IU Board of
Trustees, Dean Hertzler II, a student of the IUPUI School of Science who is
studying biology as a pre-med student, was introduced as a guest and welcomed
with applause. Having attended three meetings so far, he has commanded the
respect of the other trustees and has done IUPUI proud. He's also a member of
the Facilities Committee and will hear our proposal for new campus housing.
Agenda Item IV: President's
Report: Rebecca Porter (IUPUI Faculty President & UFC (University Faculty
Council -- system-wide) Co-Secretary). Having been on the move
all day, arriving at the Indianapolis airport only a bit earlier, President
Porter came just in time to give her report and catch the FC members up on what
the various groups have been doing.
The Executive Committee held a meeting with the
Chairs of the Standing Committees, and also another with the Faculty Governance
Leaders of the Academic Units, with the intent to align everyone along the same
issues for the academic year, and to open two-way channels of communication.
The Academic Affairs Committee continues to revise
the wording regarding "Exam Policy Related to Final Exam Week," and
will again present the revisions for approval at the December or January
meeting. The UFC committee corresponding to our Academic Affairs Committee,
i.e., the Educational Policy Committee, is working on the policy for
intercampus transfer of courses, which is related to the impact of the
community college initiative.
The Faculty Affairs Committee is creating guidelines
for awarding the title of "Emeritus" and will present them to the FC
for approval in January or February. At the UFC level, the committee is
continuing to work on a policy for non-tenure-track faculty.
The UFC will meet next Tuesday (November 9th) at
1:30 at the IUPUI Conference Center. Agenda items include an update on the policy
for non-tenure-track faculty and a presentation on the proposed IUB golf
course. Members of the IUPUI Faculty Council were invited to attend and learn
more about how the UFC works.
The Board of Trustees discussed the issue of
"seldom-granted degrees at the regional campuses" at their last
meeting. The issue of "seldom-granted degrees at IUB and IUPUI" will
be on the agenda for the next meeting which will be held on December 1st and
2nd at the IUPUI Conference Center. The public portion of the meeting starts at
3:30 (see the Jagnews). Come see how the board works and maybe get acquainted
with some of the trustees that you normally only hear about!
Agenda Item V: Selection of
"N" for 2000/01 and 2001/02 (chart distributed at meeting) -- Rebecca
Porter (Executive Committee Chair). Porter explained the
purpose of "N" and speaking for the Executive Committee recommended
it remain at "53" for the next two years because the size of the FC
is just about right. Besch called for the question. The FC approved keeping
"N" at 53.
Agenda Item VI: Presentation
on Upcoming Survey Regarding Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) -- Miriam
Langsam (Associate Dean for Students) (Liberal Arts: History) [INFORMATION
ITEM: 5 Minutes]. Langsam presented the background to the
upcoming survey. The ADA (American Disabilities Act) passed in 1990 and applies
to public institutions. Two assessments are necessary to determine whether an
institution is accessible. The first, a physical assessment of parking lots,
entrances, bathrooms, etc., has been completed. The second will be an
assessment of all programs, activities, and services, to determine whether the
university is providing opportunities for everyone with a disability. IUPUI has
been leading the way on this for all of IU for the last three to four years.
The survey is currently being created and will be posted on the web by Vic
Borden, and survey administrators and unit contacts have been established.
Around the end of January or beginning of February there will be eight training
sessions for the survey administrators and unit contacts on how to complete the
surveys. The survey will be conducted in February or March with feedback
provided to all units where there are any possible barriers to accessibility.
For example, what to do if a student using a wheelchair takes a class that
meets on the second floor of the Mary Cable building (which has no elevator).
Potential barriers will then be divided into those
which are real and those which are not, and a corrective action plan will be
developed for the real ones. We will make IUPUI the best accessible campus with
regard to complying with the ADA. Actually, IUPUI began in 1971, which is two
years before the first of the disability acts. Brand will make an appropriate
announcement in January. Please support this difficult and complex but very
important endeavor. With your help conditions will improve. IUPUI is now the
campus of choice for ADA students of which we now have 1600. This effort is
being headed up on the IU level by Sonja Johnson (Executive Assistant to the
Vice-President for IU Administration, J. Terry Clapac) and Julie Knost
(Director of the IU Office of Affirmative Action). The Affirmative Action
Officer of each campus will head of the effort in general. IUPUI will be headed
by a joint effort of Lillian Charleston and Miriam Langsam.
Agenda Item VII: Revised
Version of Change in Wording of Policy Regarding "Exam Policy Related to
Final Exam Week" (distributed at meeting) -- Jim Baldwin (Academic Affairs
Chair) [DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEM: 20 Minutes] (First Presented at FC991007). This
item was deferred until the next meeting.
Agenda Item VIII: Amendments to "Faculty/Librarian Review and
Enhancement" and "Dismissal Procedures for Tenured Faculty and
Librarians" documents -- Rebecca Porter (Executive Committee Chair)
[DISCUSSION ITEM: 20 Minutes].[To be voted on at December 2nd meeting]. Porter presented the history and background of the
documents. In the first half of this decade the FC worked through the process
of adopting policies for the dismissal of tenured faculty for incompetence,
misconduct, and financial exigency. The policy for financial exigency
procedures began in April of 1995 and was finally approved by the FC on March
7th of 1996. The need to assess tenured faculty dates to at least 1996.
Consistent then with the national discussion and with our own concerns the FC
identified the need to develop a policy that ensured tenured faculty would have
an ongoing assessment of their performance and that a structure was in place
that would allow them to enhance their performance if it was less than
satisfactory. This led to the adoption of the "Faculty and Librarian
Review and Enhancement" policy. The IU Board of Trustees then determined
that each campus should have procedures in place to deal with these issues, and
that its University Policies Committee should review and approve those
documents. Last May the FC adopted changes to our Review and Enhancement Policy
because of concerns initiated by the trustees. Today, on behalf of the
Executive Committee and the Faculty Affairs Committee, further changes are
recommended so that the trustees' committee will accept our documents. If we
approve these changes the trustees will approve our documents and this process
will be brought to closure. Discussion is to be limited to only those
recommended changes.
Porter walked the FC members
through the recommended changes (see page 3.18 of the third attachment to the
FC991104 agenda), especially those changes included to prevent a faculty member
from using a Board of Review to delay the process of dismissal, which the
trustees are insisting be able to move smoothly and timely while also
protecting the interests of both the faculty member and the institution. We
will make sure no faculty member is railroaded out of IUPUI. The possibility
remains of building in peer committees while not delaying the dismissal
process. If a faculty member thumbs their nose at the process and attempts to
stall any progress the dean can initiate more formal proceedings. One year's
salary may be offered in lieu of the one year notice period but not
automatically. The final change was generated as a result of the Ethics in
Research Committee which can on its own recommend dismissal.
Yokomoto pointed out an
inconsistency between the initial and formal notification regarding the number
of days involved. Plater explained what was intended. Porter promised that the
language would be corrected to remove the inconsistency.
Vessely suggested adding some
simple language to forestall any later discussion of "what if" with
regard to accounting for semester breaks or summers for the counting of days,
but Porter responded that no changes at this time are simple. After this is
adopted the faculty of each individual unit will need to adopt procedures to
implement the policy. Besides, it is not prudent in this context to point out
that faculty disappear for large chunks of the year. Plater commented that
reasonable accommodations and adjustments will remain possible if the problem
arises, but any return to the trustees to negotiate timelines at this time will
be problematic. Porter added that the faculty and administration have a good
history of trust on these matters and will be able to work things out.
Just before having to leave,
Kennedy commented to Langsam (who shortly thereafter repeated it for the FC),
that one never sees anything like this in the world of business. Langsam then
urged the adoption of the document with no additions or subtractions.
In response to Schneider's
first question as to whether the change stemming from the Ethics in Research
Committee poses any problem, Porter stated that the intent is simply to bring
the two documents into concert ("Research Misconduct" and
"Review and Enhancement").
In response to Schneider's
second question as to whether a problem is presented with the language of
"immediate action" by the chancellor in an "extraordinary
situation," Porter stated "immediate" means between zero and two
years. Schneider then moved with Fredland's second that the word
"immediate" be deleted, but Porter explained that it refers not to
immediate dismissal but to an action beginning immediately. Galanti clarified
that immediate action means a time is set as of now, and not necessarily two more
years.
Besch asked if the phrase
"justify the determination" (3.11) includes any means of
justification. Porter explained that exactly how the determination is to be
justified has not been specified, and that the trail of evidence necessary for
such a determination has not been laid out. Besch also asked for a
clarification of the name of the Faculty Grievance Mediation Committee and
recommended that the name be kept consistent with the constitution.
Vessely asked what happens if
the chancellor determines a time less than two years from then. VanVoorhis
added that she reads it as meaning immediate dismissal and recommended that if
that is not what is meant that the language be changed. Porter responded that
the interests of the individual and the institution need to be balanced. In the
interests of the institution the chancellor may set a time at less than two
years. Some mechanism for dismissal in a timely fashion is needed. This
document is better than the alternatives.
In response to Schneider's question
as to whether there is any provision for immediate suspension or dismissal,
Rothe stated only for misconduct.
Langsam suggested that all of
these points from the discussion be reflected in the minutes so others can
return to address them if necessary, as they do in Congress, but that the
document be accepted as it stands. Galanti added that this practice of
legislative history is both used and abused. As an addition to the point on
legislative histories, Bepko stated for the record that the language of the
policy will be understood and administered as it has here been described. He added that what is called in commercial
law the "course of dealings" is distinguished from the "course
of performance". As a course performance, the record of the minutes may be
used as evidence of what was intended.
Warfel called for
congratulations for Porter and the many others who have make this closure
possible, and then called for the question, but Galanti reminded her the FC
must wait for December before voting. Galanti seconded her call though for
Porter's service beyond the call of duty. [Applause.] Porter cautioned any
premature celebration and offered the services of Galanti or herself with
regard to coming to any faculty body that needs clarification or explanation on
any of these matters.
Agenda Item IX: The Impact
of the Community College Initiative on IUPUI and IUPUI's Response ("IUPUI
2000 and Beyond"), including a Report on the Town Hall Meeting of October
5th -- Ulla Connor (Campus Planning Chair) and Trudy Banta (Vice-Chancellor for
Planning and Institutional Improvement) [DISCUSSION ITEM: 20 Minutes]
[Continued Over from FC991007 due to Fire Alarm]. Banta first presented some
background information to the document.
The "IUPUI in 2000 and Beyond" document began its life as a
response to a request from IU President Myles Brand for each campus to look at
the potential impact of the community college on its activities. In so doing the opportunity was taken to
also review IUPUI's overall plan. Last June a group was named consisting of the
chancellor's staff, several deans, President Becky Porter and Vice-President
Paul Galanti, and the faculty governance leaders of the Schools of Liberal Arts
and Science. It is called the Future Group.
This group has met several times and its members are responsible for
much of the content of
the
"IUPUI in 2000 and Beyond" report.
Faculty
Council members received at least two drafts of the report prior to the one
they received today. In addition,
members of the Planning Committee, Academic Affairs Committee, and Student
Affairs Committee studied the report and drafted their own comments at their
meetings in September. The chairs of those committees were invited to the
October 5th Town Hall meeting, as well as two of the deans who serve on the
Future Group, and the director of enrollment management. They fielded questions
from the stage while Banta moderated the event, which was attended by about 80
faculty and staff. The issues that
engendered the most discussion were: 1) student advising (the low student
satisfaction rating for advising on the most recent continuing student survey
played a role here); 2) IUPUI's commitment to access for minority students; 3)
concern about the quality of preparation Vincennes students receive; 4) the
need to raise the per-student state funding for IUPUI so that a great city can
have a great university; 5) the need to work carefully on matriculation
agreements with other institutions and transfers within IU; 6) the need to
emphasize in marketing IUPUI the quality of our academic programs (e.g., our
graduates are competitive nationally, scoring well on such pre-professional
tests as the MCAT, the DAT, and the LSAT); 7) the concern about the loss of
community associated with distance learning; and 8) the concern that the
planning document is too faculty-centered and not sufficiently
student-centered. The last issue has not yet been addressed but will be. The
other seven issues have been addressed in the draft of the "IUPUI in 2000
and Beyond" document distributed to FC members at this meeting.
The
objectives in the "IUPUI in 2000 and Beyond" document will now be
implemented and the Future Group will continue to have the fundamental
responsibility for revising and updating the entire campus plan. Until now the focus has principally been on
those parts of our mission that have to do with undergraduate programming, but
now the entire planning document will be looked at and refreshed since it is
nearly five years old. Banta then presented Ulla Connor, chair of the Faculty
Council Planning Committee.
Connor
reported that the Campus Planning Committee consists of eight faculty members
representing a wide variety of disciplines and schools as well as Dr. Trudy
Banta, Vice-Chancellor for Planning and Institutional Improvement. The
committee's charge is to "facilitate involvement and communication between
the Faculty Council, the Executive Committee, the Budgetary Affairs Committee,
and other committees and academic units concerning institutional planning and
improvement at IUPUI. [It] shall be responsible for continued communication
with the administration, particularly the Vice-Chancellor for Planning and
Institutional Improvement."
The
Campus Planning Committee was one of the three FC committees specifically
requested by the Executive Committee to review the community college
initiative. Most suggestions made by the planning committee concurred with
those of the other committees, as incorporated in the revised version of the
report and explained by Vice-Chancellor Banta. However, the planning committee
offers the following faculty points of view, meant for the benefit of the
institutional planning of IUPUI:
The
general conclusion is that the community college initiative may cause
short-term problems for the schools in lost revenues. There is a necessity to
be creative in developing new programs to attract students. The long-term
benefit will be the opportunity, created by this necessity, to create IUPUI
into the great urban university that Indianapolis needs. This can happen
because of the new potential of being able to attract better-prepared students
and through a well-recognized inventory of advanced programs at baccalaureate,
graduate, and postdoctoral levels, responding to community needs.
To
accomplish this transition from an open access university to one that attracts
better-prepared students, IUPUI's research profile needs to be enhanced through
attaining a Carnegie Research I classification, and through ensuring
fellowships and tuition waivers that will enable IUPUI to increase its numbers
of masters and doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows. The point of view
of the committee is encapsulated by the following comment, made by one of the
committee members: "We should put the same funding emphasis on this as we
did on University College!" The Capital Campaign should bring some
solutions for the funding of fellowships. IUPUI also needs to recruit, retain,
and place students through aggressive marketing. All the schools, including the
professional, need to be included in the marketing plan to attract students to
IUPUI. Graduates who have been nationally competitive in their fields need to
be marketed. The number of graduate students in the professional schools who
have IUPUI undergraduate degrees needs to be stressed. IUPUI undergraduates
need to be encouraged to select graduate programs at IUPUI.
Vermette,
Student Affairs Committee Chair, commented that it was her committee that
emphasized the need to be more student-centered and less faculty-focused, and
then wondered if it might be better to flip the two main concerns such that
student recruitment and improvement becomes first and becoming a Carnegie I
institution becomes second. This would improve our status as a student-centered
institution.
Warfel
read the statement on diversity: "Increase the multicultural diversity of
the campus and the success of underrepresented populations by undertaking
specific community outreach activities and offering strong campus support
programs." She commented that although admirable the statement is
insufficient and recommended that the Chancellor's Diversity Cabinet improve
it. Analysis shows that white males still predominate both among the faculty
and in the administration at this institution while the representation should
reflect the community we serve.
Harrington
asked if the community college initiative will make an impact on the
availability of associate faculty. Plater commented that he had met with the
associate faculty that day, and responded that
IUPUI will likely have trouble retaining the excellent associate faculty
it now has, but that he will make available a document for training part-time
faculty that is now circulating.
Porter
asked Banta how this information will be disseminated. Banta replied that it
has only officially gone to President Brand so far, but that there are several
outlets for distribution through the chancellor's office including community
leaders, the general assembly, and the Indiana Commission for Higher Education.
It will be disseminated generally as a document stating what IUPUI intends and
why it is requesting support. Because of its depth of thought it will form a
major part of President Brand's university-wide response to the community
college initiative which will involve the governor and the legislators.
Porter
encouraged everyone present to please share the document with their various
constituencies to help them understand IUPUI's aspirations. To get the
necessary resources there is a special need to educate the faculty.
Galanti
added that Connor had also presented to him for the Executive Committee's
consideration some comments on the process of holding Town Hall Meetings
generally, including four areas of concern: the inconsistency of formats, the
lack of coordination between the various FC units, the feedback process, and
the mysterious process of who sets the agenda. The planning committee
recommended the process be standardized. The matter will be considered by the
Executive Committee.
Agenda Item X: United Way
Key Club -- Ken Kopecky (IUPUI United Way Campaign Steering Committee)
(Medicine: Radiology) [INFORMATION ITEM: 5 Minutes]. Apologizing
for adjourning the previous meeting prematurely before Kopecky had time for his
presentation, Galanti welcomed him back.
Kopecky referred to the two handouts distributed at
the meeting. Those donating between $1000 and $10,000 become members of the
United Way of Central Indiana Key Club. Kopecky, a member himself of the Key
Club, requested that no one simply let their packets just sit, but that they do
return them. Colleagues should also be reminded to not forget. The Lilly
Foundation donated $50 million to the United Way's endowment (The Forever
Fund). Its interest will pay for operating expenses from now on. Therefore, as
the fund grows, no part of whatever people give will be for operating expenses
but will go entirely to the deserving parties (children and youth, families and
neighborhoods, people who need a second chance, and seniors). Join the Key Club
-- be a key to the future.
Agenda Item XI-XII: Question
/ Answer Period & Unfinished Business. There was none.
Agenda Item XIII: New
Business? Banta drew attention to the handout distributed at
the back of the room on "Faculty Development Opportunities" which will
provide three $5000 stipends for faculty who undertake leadership roles in
identifying and documenting across the campus the best practices for teaching
and learning the Principles of Undergraduate Learning. The deadline for
applying is December 1st.
Agenda Item XIV:
Adjournment. Noting that the next meeting will be December 2nd at
3:00 at a place yet to be determined, and followed by the Chancellor's
"State of the Campus" address, Galanti adjourned the meeting at 5:13.
