Consideration of Minutes A. 29 September 2009 MINUTES APPROVED AS DISTRIBUTED II. Announcements A. Provosts Report Provost Thomas announced that the nationwide search for a Dean for the College of Arts and Sciences is underway, with the first meeting of the search committee to be held later this month. Paul Kreider, Dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communication, will chair the search committee. Provost Thomas asked senators to encourage any colleagues who might be interested in the position to apply. Provost Thomas announced that Vice President Rives has informed him that ֱs dial-up option for Internet connection will be discontinued on June 30. Provost Thomas told senators the Summer Session Task Force anticipates one more meeting before their draft report can be posted on the Provosts website and discussed at a town hall meeting with faculty before being presented to Faculty Senate next month. Provost Thomas has emailed deans regarding programs they may wish to consider for summer school, mentioning that other institutions have a wide variety of camps, such as pre-college Science-Technology- Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) camps, that should be considered in WIUs summer school programming. He said discussions of possible summer school courses will occur later; that information will be gathered from department chairs and faculty, but Provost Thomas explained the process has not yet reached that stage. Provost Thomas announced the Provosts Awards for Excellence reception will be held on October 14 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the Lamoine Room . The open meeting on technology will be held from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on October 20 in the Capitol Rooms. The next Provosts Open House will be held on November 11 at 2:00 p.m. in the Presidents Conference Room. Provost Thomas related that a Provosts Open House was held recently at WIUQC. He said one of the main topics of conversation at that event was concerns with the CODEC system. Provost Thomas spoke with Vice President Rives today about CODEC and what can be done to make it better, adding that it must be improved if it is to continue to be used by the University. He will meet with Vice President Rives again on Friday to continue the discussion. B. Student Government Association (SGA) Report (Jillisa Benton, SGA Representative) Ms. Benton reported that SGA is working on the trip to Springfield Thursday to rally for reinstatement of Monetary Award Program (MAP) funding for spring. She said at least 60 students are scheduled to attend at this time, and buses will be provided for the trip. Chairperson DeVolder added that Student Services has reserved two buses for the trip, and there should be plenty of room on the second bus for faculty who wish to add their voices to those of the students. Interested faculty should contact Ann Comerford, Director of Student Activities, to find out details about the trip. Buses will leave Macomb at approximately 8:30 a.m. and leave Springfield at about 3:00 p.m. Provost Thomas remarked that he and President Goldfarb travelled recently to John Wood Community College in Quincy during a visit by Governor Quinn in order to lobby for MAP funding, as well. C. Other Announcements 1. The Faculty Council of the College of Arts and Sciences has completed its election of representatives to serve on the Search Committee for a Dean of Arts and Sciences. According to the Administrative Selection Procedures governing selection of deans, Six faculty from the departments shall be elected by, or shall be selected by, procedures established by the Faculty Senate. Preference will be given to selecting at least one member who has graduate faculty status." Faculty Senate recommended that a two-tiered election be conducted by the Faculty Council. The results of that election are: Representing Humanities: Joan Livingston-Webber, English & Journalism Representing Social Sciences: Christopher Sutton, Geography Representing Natural Sciences: Jim Rabchuk, Physics At Large: Lori Baker-Sperry, Women's Studies At Large: Janna Deitz, Political Sciences At Large: Christopher Pynes, Philosophy & Religious Studies Motion: To reorder the agenda to move the first item of New Business, V.A., for consideration next (Deitz/Pynes) NO OBJECTIONS V. New Business (Reordered) 1. Resolution to Support Restoration of MAP Funding Chairperson DeVolder read the resolution brought forward by Steve Rock, WIU representative to the Illinois Board of Higher Education Faculty Council: WHEREAS ֱ Illinois University serves a number of low income students who are the first generation in their family to pursue higher education; and WHEREAS these students depend on financial aid to attend; and WHEREAS one source of funds for these students is the Monetary Award Program (MAP); and WHEREAS the state had not allocated any funding for this program beyond the fall semester; and WHEREAS the money allocated each year for MAP has never been sufficient to assist all who are eligible, resulting in a first come, first served situation; and WHEREAS 2,800 WIU students will not receive this aid in the spring semester unless the legislature restores MAP funding; and WHEREAS this aid at WIU provides $1,800 per recipient, covers 37% of tuition and fees for a new student this fall, and totals $5 million per semester; and WHEREAS some of these students will be unable to find alternate sources of funding and may be delayed or even lost forever in furthering their education; and WHEREAS some federal funding that comes into the university on behalf of these students would be forfeited; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Faculty Senate at ֱ Illinois University calls on the legislature to restore MAP funding for the spring semester and supports the efforts of students, parents, administrators, faculty, and the unions in this endeavor. Chairperson DeVolder noted that Dr. Rock states similar resolutions have already been passed by the senates of Illinois State, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, and the University of Illinois-Chicago, among others. RESOLUTION APPROVED 21 YES 0 NO 0 AB III. Reports of Committees and Councils A. Council on Admission, Graduation and Academic Standards (CAGAS) (Richard Filipink, Chair) 1. Proposed GPA Requirement for Study Abroad Programs and Courses Dr. Filipink reminded senators that the Senate Executive Committee forwarded for CAGAS consideration two options submitted by the Center for International Studies (CIS). He said Option 1, developed by the Executive Committee in consultation with CIS, sought to give some of the appeal power for students with low GPAs to the departments, while Option 2, created by the Study Abroad Office, defined study abroad courses and programs as separate entities. According to the CAGAS report, after discussing the background and merits of the proposals and the GPA policies of peer institutions, CAGAS unanimously recommends the adoption of a policy which modifies the proposals from ExCo and CIS. The CAGAS proposal would keep intact the current policy that undergraduate students meet the following requirements to be accepted to Study Abroad, regardless of program type: 1. Minimum overall 2.5 GPA 2. Minimum of 12 s.h. completed 3. Clearance from Student Judicial Programs The current policy allows for an appeal process through CIS for those students who may not meet the GPA requirement. The CAGAS proposal requires that students submit appeals through CIS if they desire to participate in a Study Abroad Program, which is defined as a full semester abroad where the off-campus experience is the main focus and students are enrolled for credit at an institution abroad. If a student appeals admission to a Study Abroad Course, however, CAGAS recommends the appeal be directed to the sponsoring department. A Study Abroad Course is defined as one where the off-campus experience is part of an individual WIU course where the faculty leader is responsible for overseeing the students experiences and issuing grades. Senator Pynes asked why students cannot simply be required to be in good standing with a GPA of 2.0 or better in order to study abroad. He said rather then barring students with 2.25 GPAs from participating in study abroad, it would seem that any student in good standing should be allowed to participate unless the study abroad experience is highly impacted and some other standard is necessary. Dr. Filipink replied that CAGAS surveyed nine peer institutions and found that eight had 2.5 or higher requirements for participation in study abroad. Dr. Bacon noted that students participating in Study Abroad Programs will be residing and taking courses in a country for which they may not have proficient language skills and would need a higher academic ability in order to succeed. He pointed out that Study Abroad Courses, on the other hand, are taught entirely in English. Emily Gorlewski, Assistant Director for Study Abroad in the Center for International Studies, expressed their concern that there is no actual minimum GPA stated in the policy proposal. She pointed out that the appeal process, if approved, would be in the hands of departments, but it is not clearly defined that a student must even have a 2.0 and be in good standing in order to participate in study abroad courses. Senator Finch expressed her support for the CAGAS proposal. She pointed out that students with GPAs lower than 2.5 would not be able to continue in many majors and in that case should not be studying abroad. Senator Pynes remarked that some students do not have high GPAs because their majors are impacted. He said if the concern is that students might be delinquent, there are assurances in place from Student Judicial Programs to prevent that from occurring. Senator Pynes asserted that if WIU will give students a degree with a 2.0 GPA, they should be allowed to take a study abroad course with that GPA. Senator Pynes asserted that just because peer institutions have a certain standard should not be sufficient argument for ֱ holding to the same standard; he said the 2.5 GPA requirement seems arbitrary. Senator Pynes pointed out that studying abroad could be a formative experience that could encourage an individual to be a better student. Senator Rippey agreed with Senator Pynes that placing as few roadblocks as possible before students wishing to study abroad would be positive, but said that if there is evidence that students who are minimally C students dont do well in study abroad situations, that should be taken into consideration. Dr. Filipink replied he does not have any information pertaining to this question; he said the 2.5 GPA was originally brought forward from the Director of the Center for International Studies. Ms. Gorlewski added the Center does not have this data either because ֱs peer institutions do not allow students with low GPAs to study abroad. She related that basically what occurs in the appeals process is that any student with a GPA of 2.0 or above who has documentation signed by their academic advisor and a letter of recommendation can participate in a study abroad experience. She told senators students generally do well on faculty-led Study Abroad Courses, but she does not have concrete data regarding the experiences of students with 2.0 GPAs who take such trips. Dr. Filipink reminded senators that CAGAS was only asked to address the appeals process; the GPA standard was already on the books, and CAGAS was asked only to recommend whether the appeals process should remain in the hands of CIS or be in the hands of departments. Senator Blackinton remarked she supports the existing 2.5 GPA because students only have to have taken 12 s.h., one semester, at ֱ in order to study abroad; she feels if the issue is to be reconsidered, students should be required to attend WIU a year before studying abroad. Dr. Bacon presented anecdotal evidence about Agriculture students studying in Brazil, relating that studying abroad in a different language has been a drain on their GPAs. He said it has been difficult for these students to obtain sufficient language study at WIU prior to traveling to be able to do well in an academic environment, so having a strong GPA going into the program was a plus for these students. Senator Pynes remarked that if students in good standing who appeal are almost always accepted to study abroad, then the procedure is just creating more paperwork. Senator Erdmann agreed. Senator Delany-Barmann asked if the semester-long program in Spain, led by a WIU faculty member who does not teach the courses, is considered a Study Abroad Program or a Study Abroad Course. Ms. Gorlewski replied it is considered a Study Abroad Program. Senator Siddiqi reminded senators that CAGAS was not asked to look at the GPA requirement; they only addressed the appeals process, as they were asked. Chairperson DeVolder related that the charge to CAGAS began last year when a faculty member expressed concerns with the current appeals process for faculty-led Study Abroad Courses. He stated the GPA requirement is a broader discussion which might represent another item for future consideration but was not part of the charge to CAGAS. Senator Erdmann asserted the two discussions are interrelated in that the appeals process is bringing into the department level an activity that will essentially create more paperwork, while its already been identified that most students with 2.0 to 2.5 GPAs have their appeals approved. He asked what the grounds are for denying appeals at the departmental level when they are typically approved with proper documentation. Dr. Filipink responded CAGAS wanted departments to make those decisions in order to give them greater control over the process. Chairperson DeVolder added the faculty member who introduced the topic felt that faculty who lead the Study Abroad Courses and their department chairs were in a better position to determine whether students would do well in those situations than CIS. Senator Siddiqi summarized the revised policy would enable departments to determine for faculty-led Study Abroad Courses whether the minimum GPA should be lowered or not rather than CIS making this decision. He said the issue of whether a 2.5 GPA remains the standard or whether it should be lowered to good standing is a separate issue. He believes the revised policy serves the intended purpose of giving departments some say in the appeals process. Parliamentarian Kaul explained there are two ways to approach the issue: one is to accept the proposed policy allowing departments to lower the GPA from 2.5 for students if determined upon appeal, and the other is for students to be allowed to participate in study abroad if they are in good academic standing with departments able to raise the GPA requirement to 2.5 if desired. Chairperson DeVolder reminded senators that CIS has expressed concerns that the policy has no floor of 2.0 or good standing specified as an absolute minimum for study abroad participation. Senator Singh remarked he would not like to take a student who is not in good standing on a study abroad experience, noting that the University is using GPA as an indication of a students maturity to undertake a growth experience that will be unique or at least may jolt the non-serious student to get serious. He believes the policy is good in that the faculty member, who is in the best position to decide if a particular student can take on this challenge, and the department can make this determination. Senator Singh stated if a student does not have a commitment to academia, living and studying overseas where the language may be very difficult is hard for students who have not taken their college career seriously. Senator Finch stated she believes the 2.5 GPA is aspirational for students who may want to study abroad and know they must be successful at WIU in order to do so. NO OBJECTIONS B. Council for Campus Planning and Usage (CCPU) (Lynn Thompson, Acting Chair) 1. Revision of Charge to Advocate for Lactation Spaces Dr. Thompson told senators that CCPU at its first meeting of the year discussed the continuing issue of lactation spaces at the University. Krista Bowers-Sharpe, in her dual role as representative of both CCPU and the ֱ Organization for Women (WOW), conducted research over the summer among peer and aspirant institutions, identifying 33 campuses with formal lactation programs. CCPU, according to their report, feels that further efforts to identify lactation spaces without an actual lactation program in place will be fruitless. They recommended their charge from Faculty Senate to advocate for lactation spaces be deferred and that Faculty Senate begin discussions with a number of University entities to encourage development of a full-scale lactation program for WIU. Dr. Thompson stated such a program would more fully address what it means to be a nursing mother and the benefits of pumping breast milk rather than use of formula. He said such a program would be not just a venture of Faculty Senate but a cooperative effort with Human Resources and Student Services in order to underscore the importance of lactation spaces being available to students as well as to faculty and staff. Senator Delany-Barmann stated a lactation center on campus would be very valuable to students. She noted that student mothers often do not have counseling and resources available after checking out of hospitals. She said campus support services would be valuable to nursing mothers because the equipment necessary to express milk is not cheap to rent or purchase. She noted, however, that there may be too many entities listed on the CCPU proposal with which to coordinate such an effort and it should perhaps be pared down a bit. Chairperson DeVolder warned that any narrowing down should be done carefully, and the areas initially concerned with the initiative should not be eliminated from the discussion. Senator Rippey stated her original concern with and objection to the CCPU annual report in September concerned the Council being given a charge by Faculty Senate and the administration not enabling that charge to be completed. Senator Rippey asserted, however, that establishment of a lactation center and education for nursing mothers does not seem to be the role of Faculty Senate. She suggested CCPU could participate in the process of finding appropriate spaces for lactating mothers, but working toward creation of a lactation program seems more appropriate for the Womens Center or WOW and is not a sensible charge for Faculty Senate to make to the Council. Dr. Bowers-Sharpe related that in her research on behalf of CCPU, she found that quite a few universities have designated lactation spaces from time to time, but if there is no lactation program in place to maintain these spaces, they seem to go away. She explained what CCPU is proposing is not so much a center to learn about lactation but a program to anticipate needs of lactating mothers, such as a central keying system for lactation rooms. She added lactation programs are usually run out of Human Resources or similar offices. Dr. Bowers-Sharpe concluded she decided to support CCPU advocating for a lactation program after seeing that advocating for lactation spaces did not seem to be effective. Senator Rippey stated she envisions some entity that is committed to this type of program, some institution within the University that is in a position to work toward its establishment, being the group to develop a lactation program, but she does not see Faculty Senate as being the appropriate institution. She said as Faculty Senate tries to maneuver a greater position for faculty in various tasks across campus, she does not see advocating for a lactation program as falling under the Senates domain. Dr. Thompson reported CCPU was charged to advocate for lactation spaces because this had been attempted by other individual entities unsuccessfully, and CCPU is now requesting that those entities be joined together in an effort to develop a lactation program. Parliamentarian Kaul recalled that when the charge was originally delivered to CCPU, it had to do with the planning and utilization of space. Senator Pynes related that last year he inquired if the University had established universal signage for lactation rooms, noting that there is apparently a designated lactation space in Morgan Hall, but he does not know where it is because of lack of signage. He noted that if spaces designated for lactation are not to be confiscated for other usages, signage might be the first step toward preventing this. Dr. Bowers-Sharpe told senators that one common element of lactation programs elsewhere is that a map or list is developed to indicate lactation spaces on an institutional website. She said developing lactation programs under the auspices of Human Resources seems to give them the stamp of approval. Dr. Boynton asked if it would be appropriate for Faculty Senate to ask the Provost to speak to the vice presidents about this issue. Provost Thomas responded that encouraging development of a lactation program, while good work, does not seem to be the responsibility of the Provost or the vice presidents. He asked what is hindering development of a lactation program and map to lactation spaces or stations already designated on campus. Provost Thomas suggested the Womens Center as a good place to start initiation of such a program. Senator Rippey said Faculty Senate could establish an ad hoc committee to develop a lactation program for the University, but she would not support its establishment. She stated CCPU is asking to be relieved of their charge to find lactation spaces, and that request does have her support but would be the only motion she would support at this time. Senator Siddiqi asserted if the Vice President for Administrative Services decides there should be a lactation room in every building, then it will become a reality, but Faculty Senate has been discussing this need for the past several years. He noted that designated lactation spaces exist in certain buildings, but in others they do not, so this issue is one that needs to be taken up by WIUs administration. Senator Delany-Barmann told senators the designated lactation space in Horrabin Hall is in a bathroom with a couch, so some entity needs to take charge of establishing correct and appropriate spaces. Chairperson DeVolder pointed out that WIU has made a commitment to consider lactation space in any new construction, and some areas have already been designated on campus. He stated he would not like to discourage any motivated individuals from pursuing what seems to be a good idea, but recognizes the concerns about whether the recommendations in CCPUs report are appropriate for that council. Chairperson DeVolder suggested that rather than discuss what needs to be done to address the question of lactation spaces at the University, senators concentrate on the report from CCPU. He explained if the report is accepted by Faculty Senate, it would convert CCPUs charge from advocating for lactation spaces to taking a leadership role in developing a lactation program for the University. SENATOR PYNES OBJECTED TO THE REPORT Motion: To restore the item to the agenda (Blackinton/McNabb) MOTION APPROVED 21 YES 0 NO 0 AB Dr. Thompson clarified that the wording of CCPUs proposal was that the charge to advocate for lactation spaces be deferred until such time as a lactation program is in place for WIU, not that they be relieved of their charge entirely. He explained CCPU still wishes to be involved as the Senate sees fit in advocating for the creation of lactation spaces at a later time. Senator Rippey asked if CCPU is proposing that Faculty Senate defer the charge or if they are proposing that Senate charge some entity to investigate development of a lactation program. Dr. Thompson responded CCPU thought their charge to seek out spaces for lactation may have been delivered in the wrong order; he said the Council hoped that Faculty Senate would be interested and involved in creating a lactation program first, and CCPU is asking the Senate to be a part of that effort. Senator Rippey stated she would not be in support of this suggestion. Parliamentarian Kaul stated that if there is a question of creating a policy of some kind or if there are policy implications, Faculty Senate should be involved; otherwise there are likely better places for this issue. Senator McNabb asked if it would be possible for Faculty Senate to alter the original charge to CCPU; she suggested that instead of deferring advocating for lactation spaces, CCPU could be charged to gather information as to what is occurring currently toward this effort. She said it would be helpful to know what is going on right now before progressing further, whether advocating for an educational program or for spaces. Senator Pynes believes there are a lot of people that will continue to work on behalf of lactating mothers, and that CCPU can be discharged from its original charge. He stated that if Faculty Senate in one year feels that other entities have not followed through with this effort, Senate can re-charge CCPU to take up this issue again. Senator Pynes concluded CCPU has done what Senate has asked of them, and he would like now to discharge them from their task. Motion: To discharge CCPU from its charge to advocate for lactation spaces (Pynes/Made Gowda) MOTION APPROVED 16 YES 1 NO 4 AB Chairperson DeVolder declared the charge to CCPU to be rescinded. C. Council for International Education (CIE) (Kevin Bacon, Chair) 1. Requests for Designation as General Education Global Issues a. HIST 126, ֱ Civilization Since 1648, 3 s.h. b. HIST 341, Latin America Since 1860, 3 s.h. Dr. Bacon told senators it really helps CIE as they consider course syllabi when it is clearly stated in the learning objectives how they meet the Global Issues guidelines. Dr. McNabb pointed out that, in this case, CIE would be looking for prospective syllabi rather than actualized syllabi because it would be impossible for syllabi to address Global Issues in a course taught two years ago, for example, when Global Issues was not in place nor in practice. Dr. Bacon responded CIE would like to see some language in the syllabi to address Global Issues, explaining that anything departments can do to clarify requests or make the Councils job easier by adding a paragraph would be appreciated. Parliamentarian Kaul stated that unless existing courses go through some kind of official change, what CIE is asking could only be accommodated for prospective courses. He said existing courses should either already meet the Global Issues guidelines or go before CCPI for major changes before going to CIE if they do not already contain the Global Issues element. BOTH HISTORY COURSES APPROVED 2. Request for Designation as Discipline-Specific Global Issues a. CHEM 342, Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry, 4 s.h. Senator Erdmann noted that the class seems to be much richer than what is indicated in its course description; he believes the catalog description, even with an asterisk indicating Global Issues designation, does not do justice to the course, and the department may wish to consider revising it. Dr. Bacon told senators when CIE first received the syllabus for CHEM 342, they could not see the connection between it and Global Issues requirements. He asked Chemistry professor Scott McConnell to elaborate on its applicability in order for CIE members and others to understand the connection. Chairperson DeVolder noted sometimes courses evolve and separate from their course descriptions over time and periodically should be updated to bring them back in line with current practice, adding that perhaps that does not occur frequently enough. CHEM 342 APPROVED Dr. Boynton asked if CIE is looking for specific Global Issues references on course syllabi. Dr. Bacon explained CIE is charged to determine if course proposals meet all three Global Issues goals and two of the Global Issues objectives, and in order to do that the Council needs to see the link between the documentation contained in the syllabus and Global Issues. He stated if the learning objectives are missing from the syllabus or if the course description is so brief that someone outside of the discipline does not have the perspective to see the connection, it raises questions for the Council. He concluded an explanation of how the course is tied to Global Issues certainly helps CIE in its deliberations. Senator Siddiqi related that the College of Arts and Sciences is developing criteria that would require the approval of their Faculty Council before curricula is sent to CIE. He asked how that would affect CIE in getting departmental plans for meeting the Foreign Language/Global Issues (FLGI) requirement approved. Dr. Bacon related that CIE recently revised its forms; they now require deans level signature and routing instructions are more clearly stated. He reminded senators that CIE is not approving currently, nor do they have the capability to approve, new courses; the Council is only considering existing courses. He informed senators that CIEs timeline is to have Global Issues courses on the books by fall 2010. Dr. Bacon stated that in order for these courses designated in the undergraduate catalog and entered into the advising process as Global Issues, they must progress fairly quickly, so holding Global Issues requests back for courses that have already been approved is difficult for him to understand. He concluded it is up to Faculty Senate to guide CIE in this process. Senator Siddiqi clarified that CIE is dealing with existing courses only and has developed a procedure and criteria to assess whether these existing courses are Global Issues appropriate; he expressed his concern regarding what he called a clear directive that has been sent to chairs in the College of Arts and Sciences not to send any more Global Issues course requests through at this time, which creates another layer of bureaucracy. Senator Siddiqi asked if colleges can step in once Faculty Senate establishes a procedure and insert additional layers that must be satisfied before course requests go forward. Parliamentarian Kaul remarked that problems seem to have occurred because an additional signature line was added by CIE midstream, which poses a problem for departments that now have to go through a college-level approval process. Dr. Bacon explained CIE believes having deans sign-off on the process is important in terms of resource allocations. He explained that adding a deans signature line is comparable to the process used by other councils, such as CCPI. Dr. Bacon stated when he became CIE chair, forms were being routed to various places on campus, some going directly to him, others being routed to the Provosts office, and CIE has now clearly stated that forms are to be routed to the Faculty Senate office for distribution to CIE members. Chairperson DeVolder noted that every time a council begins a new procedure, it is somewhat painful until the system gets worked out. Dr. Boynton remarked that WID Committee request forms go directly from the department to the Committee because the courses already exist, just as courses requesting Global Issues designation are pre-existing. Senator Siddiqi asked if Faculty Senate has any authority to prohibit colleges from adding extra layers of approval to forms for Senate councils; Chairperson DeVolder replied Faculty Senate can make recommendations. Senator Rippey noted that Arts and Sciences does require General Education courses to go through the college curriculum process; she added Arts and Sciences has traditionally used its own curriculum committee to be an active steward of the Colleges curricula. Senator Pynes related he served on the Arts and Sciences curriculum committee for three years; they helped different departments make things uniform and made suggestions to assist requests successfully move through CCPI and various councils. He said it helps when the Arts and Sciences curriculum committee informs departments of what has been successful in the past in regard to curricular requests. Parliamentarian Kaul remarked that existing courses have already received approval of their college curriculum committees and asked if it is really necessary for them to receive a deans signature again before going before Faculty Senate. Senator McNabb stated her agreement that Global Issues designation is similar to WID designation and, as such, should not require college curriculum committee overview before proceeding to CIE because they are the designated experts; Senator Erdmann agreed. Senator Pynes, however, disagreed, stating whenever there is a catalog change or a change in designation, it seems reasonable for courses to go through the same process. Chairperson DeVolder stated the Executive Committee can put this discussion on their agenda for future consideration, but it is not an item of business for todays Senate meeting. Dr. Bacon told senators that CIE would like clarification so that there are no questions when other requests that have been submitted to them come forward. He explained that, although the courses already exist, there could potentially be a future reallocation of resources if their designation as Global Issues requires additional sections, for instance, which prompted the addition of the deans signature line to the forms; he added trying to obtain some consistency with other council forms and an effort to keep deans in the loop were also considerations in CIEs decision. Chairperson DeVolder advised CIE to continue their current approval process until the question of deans approval is taken up as a separate item of Senate business. Senator Siddiqi stated his opinion that a deans signature line should not be added unless approved by Faculty Senate. It was pointed out that other councils, such as CCPI, regularly change their signature lines without Senate approval being required first; these changes to the forms are normally reported out in councils annual reports. Senator Rippey requested that Faculty Senate return to the consideration of the agenda. D. Committee on Committees (Martin Maskarinec, Chair) SENATE COUNCILS: Council on Campus Planning and Usage Eric Ribbens ex-officio Landscape Liaison UNIVERSITY COUNCILS: University Diversity Council Tarab Ahmad, Chemistry replacing Jeffery Darensbourg 12 At-large NOMINATIONS APPROVED IV. Old Business None V. New Business B. CCPI Bylaws Amendment 1. First Reading Second reading and the vote on proposed changes to the Senate Bylaws pertaining to CCPI will occur at the October 27 meeting. C. Specification of Credit Hour Requirement for Global Issues Courses The Council for International Education has requested that Faculty Senate specify the minimum number of credit hours needed to satisfy the Global Issues component of the Foreign Language/Global Issues requirement. Chairperson DeVolder explained the question arose when CIE was asked if a 1 s.h. course would satisfy the requirement; CIE could not find an explicit answer to this question in approved requirement guidelines but was reluctant to tell departments that a 1 s.h. course would be sufficient. Senator Siddiqi stated while departments may submit 1 s.h. courses for Global Issues designation, he supports requiring 3 s.h. of approved Global Issues courses to meet the requirement, noting that all of the Global Issues courses approved so far have been 3 s.h. or more. Senator Pynes asked if 1 s.h. of foreign language would be sufficient to meet that component of the FLGI requirement; Senator Maskrinec replied that the requirement specifies an intermediate course is necessary to meet the Foreign Language component. Senator Pynes pointed out that this would indicate that in order to complete that portion of the FLGI requirement, students would have to take 9 s.h. of a foreign language, unless they tested into a higher level. Dr. Bacon told senators that CIE believes 3 s.h. would be a reasonable requirement, but they need clarification because course requests are being submitted and catalog copy and advising issues must be addressed. Motion: To establish a minimum of 3 s.h. of credit to satisfy the Global Issues component of the Foreign Language/Global Issues graduation requirement (Siddiqi/Maskarinec) Senator Pynes asked if other graduation requirements for WIU can be satisfied with 3 s.h. of coursework, stating that the FYE graduation requirement is 6 s.h. He asked if some uniformity would be helpful, noting that 3 s.h. does not seem like much of a requirement, particularly when compared to a third semester of a foreign language. Senator Pynes stated a 3 s.h. requirement seems thin but he does not object to it. Senator Rippey warned Faculty Senate needs to be careful when adding on requirements for graduation, noting that the University already has a pretty elaborate obstacle course of requirements in place. Dr. Bacon recalled that when the Foreign Language/Global Issues requirement was first proposed, the expectation was that a significant number of students would meet the requirement in high school. He said that one of the things that slowed approval of the FLGI requirement at Faculty Senate originally was concerns about tacking on requirements to already overburdened degree programs. He recalled the University wanted students to have global exposure and did not think it would be onerous to students since most take a foreign language in high school and because there are four possible ways students can fulfill the requirement; departments can allow their majors to use any or all of the four routes to meet FLGI. Dr. Bacon stated CIE would like to see departments designate how their majors will fulfill the requirement and a large collection of Global Issues courses approved by the end of this academic year. Implementation of the requirement will then be turned over to the WIU administration for such processes as might need to be completed through the Registrars office or other areas. Senator Siddiqi pointed out that a 3 s.h. will serve the same purpose as the 3 s.h. minimum requirement for WID fulfillment. MOTION APPROVED 20 YES 0 NO 0 AB D. Faculty Representation on Summer Session Task Force The Executive Committee received a request from a faculty member that additional discussion of faculty representation on the Summer Session Task Force be placed on the Senate agenda. Chairperson DeVolder explained that when items are presented to the Executive Committee, they have three options in dealing with those requests: place discussion on the Senate agenda, refer the matter to a council or committee, or refer the issue to the appropriate administrative office; thus, further discussion of summer school was placed under New Business for todays meeting. Chairperson DeVolder explained the purpose of the Summer Session Task Force is to examine ways to improve summer school. He related he was invited to the first Task Force meeting but was teaching during that time; he asked a member of the Executive Committee to attend in his place, and Vice Chair Deitz agreed. He added when the regular meeting time for the Task Force was established, it was also during his class hours, so Senator Deitz continued to attend in his place. Chairperson DeVolder told senators that the invitation to attend the first Task Force meeting specified that After each meeting, members will return to their area and gather data, information, and practical solutions to problems raised. The Faculty Senate representative will share Task Force discussions with the Faculty Senate and bring feedback to our meetings. Chairperson DeVolder told senators that explanation sets out the role of Faculty Senate representation on the Task Force. Chairperson DeVolder stated the Task Force has two primary missions: to increase summer session enrollment and to increase the amount of money coming to the University during summer school. The Task Force website ( HYPERLINK "http://www.wiu.edu/provost/sumtaskforce/SummerSessionCharge.pdf" http://www.wiu.edu/provost/sumtaskforce/SummerSessionCharge.pdf) specifies the topics to be discussed: a comprehensive marketing plan with a common theme and a separate marketing plan for Distance Learning initiatives, expansion of Distance Learning courses, a jumpstart program for the summer after high school graduation, a program for WIUQC to bridge from community college to WIU, and special opportunities for Honors students. Excluded from discussion, according to the website, are areas covered by contract, such as salary, funding models, and summer rotation, and alternative tuition plans. Chairperson DeVolder told senators the website indicates the first meeting occurred September 4; a draft report is to be shared with Task Force members by November and then presented to Faculty Senate and other entities for feedback. He reiterated the role of Faculty Senate is to carry information and helpful feedback to the Task Force. Chairperson DeVolder asked Senator Deitz to report on her experience serving on the Task Force. Senator Deitz told senators that, given the nature of both the charge and the topics for Task Force discussion, there is a central role for faculty and their voices should be represented more fully than by one member representing nearly 700 faculty on a committee of 24. She said many issues coming before the Task Force are very task-oriented items that can be implemented quickly for summer 2010. She asserted faculty, however, do have a voice that would be integral to this process, not just for summer 2010 but for other summers in the future. Senator Deitz stated if the summer school program is to be successful, some of the important stakeholders must be brought into the process. She said faculty from other colleges may have viewpoints that it would be difficult for her to express, and having that representation from the beginning of the summer school planning process is critical. She asserted faculty need to buy-in to the process at the beginning stages so that they can form and shape what becomes the process by which summer school may be offered, not just for summer 2010 but for the future. Senator Deitz stated that since the issue was raised by a concerned faculty member and by members of the Senate, Faculty Senate should consider the role of faculty on the Task Force from the point of view of delivering courses and what is in the best needs of the faculty constituencies. Senator Rippey asked if the Executive Committee is recommending that there be established a standing summer school committee so that this issue becomes ongoing with continuing interaction. Chairperson DeVolder replied this is one possibility that was opened for discussion at the Executive Committee meeting but there was no formal recommendation. He said he is more concerned about the options immediately available to Faculty Senate because the Summer Session Task Force is moving along very quickly; he said after just one more meeting, they may have a report ready for Faculty Senate consideration. He noted that Senator Deitz makes a point about faculty being involved in the process from the beginning, but the beginning is quickly becoming the end as early as next month. Senator Siddiqi stated he is not clear about the Task Force and its mandate. He asked if it will be making suggestions that must be followed by everyone at the University. Senator Siddiqi expressed the hope that faculty will be central to any summer school initiative, but noted the faculty input currently seems to be very little. He said faculty have been asking him if Faculty Senate has been consulted and what its role is in summer school decisions; Senator Siddiqi said he has no answer other than that once the Task Force report is submitted, the Senate has been asked for input. He asked if, once the input is delivered, the Task Force will meet again to revise the recommendations based upon feedback. Senator Singh asked the Provost if, besides contractual issues, he has a vision in terms of summer 2010 that he is attempting to get Faculty Senate to embrace. Provost Thomas responded he does not know how summer 2010 will be at this point; that is why the Task Force was developed. He said the Task Force includes people who are directly involved in summer school and can see the big picture. Provost Thomas told senators that direction must come from the faculty in terms of courses and that the Task Force does want someone to represent Faculty Senate and to bring back to the Senate proposals from the committee, but he reiterated the need for development of a bona fide summer school for the University. Provost Thomas told senators he does not wish to exclude anyone from involvement; the Provost reminded them he worked his way up the ranks and, as a former faculty member, understands the importance of shared governance and of involving individuals. He stated, however, that if the University is to move forward quickly with summer school for 2010, some sort of draft needs to be developed which can be brought to faculty and to Faculty Senate for feedback. He assured senators that there is no conspiracy, and every one will be involved in the decisions for summer school, but the initiative has to start somewhere with a plan that people can consider and discuss. Provost Thomas concluded by assuring senators that he does not operate by excluding individuals but by trying to involve people in decisions as much as possible, being open to discussion and responding to emails, and trying to be transparent in shared governance. Senator Deitz stated she raised her concerns because faculty do care and do want a strong summer school. She suggested by having more faculty involvement, mistakes in summer school decisions might be able to be avoided, noting that faculty were not involved to a great extent the last time summer school was considered three years ago. She told Provost Thomas he is seeing a level of interest on behalf of senators, their constituents, and their majors because more faculty want to make meaningful contributions to the summer school initiative. Provost Thomas reminded senators that the Summer Session Task Force meetings are open to everyone. He said there will be a time when the Task Force asks what courses and academic programs departments want to offer for summer school, and reminded senators that a town hall meeting will be held to gather wider faculty input. He said the Task Force will listen to what faculty say at that time, and make changes as necessary before bringing the draft report to Faculty Senate for consideration. Senator Miczo stated that for some faculty the concern has been the timeline of the initiative. She said that with the town hall meeting in November, the program needing to be in place in January, and the summer schedule to be online by February 12, 2010, there is not much time for the kind of discussion that faculty anticipate in terms of new programs. She noted that discussions regarding WIU not offering math or English writing courses over the summer do bring up curricular issues that involve faculty. Senator Miczo said while she can empathize with and understand the difficulties of trying to get the program streamlined, focused, and programmable in a short timeframe, to a certain extent the Task Force must look at curricular issues because they are a huge piece of the pie. She used as an example the discussion about a possible hotel model for residence halls used by summer students: how long they would need to be open would depend upon how long courses are offered, which harkens back to who is willing to teach the courses. She said such discussions show a hand and glove connection, that curriculum issues cannot be separated from the actual logistics of the program. Senator Miczo stated it seems to be late in the discussion to be bringing such considerations forward to faculty in order to get summer school online by February 12. Provost Thomas reiterated the Task Force is not yet at the curriculum stage of their discussion. He said such decisions as what level of classes and how many will be offered need to be made by the departments, and this committee is not making those decisions. Senator Pynes stated that everyone on Faculty Senate probably likes the idea of something getting done for summer school, and that he finds it refreshing in some respects that people are able to make things happen in this regard. He said the speed of the initiative, however, scares some people. Senator Pynes reminded senators that not everything that happens at WIU over the summer months is performed by faculty, noting that there are programs that faculty are not involved in that use the campus in revenue-generating ways. Senator Pynes asked whether the model for 2010 will be continued for summer school from this point forward. Provost Thomas said what is developed for summer 2010 will probably be rather fragmented but it will be built upon for future summer endeavors. He said a standing committee for faculty to address these future issues will likely be needed. Senator Pynes suggested a faculty subcommittee for curricular issues could be established to report back to the larger Task Force which can then initiate needed action. He suggested the subcommittee could perform such tasks as to conduct a survey of which faculty would be willing to be involved in summer school. Provost Thomas stated he would not object to a faculty subcommittee. Provost Thomas commented that past summer school committees had spent years on task but their efforts were not fruitful. By creating a task-focused committee it was hoped that results would be delivered in weeks rather than years. Senator Rippey stated that, as a faculty member, she resists the characterization that things cannot be accomplished quickly because of faculty. She said faculty need to be seen as part of the process and not as a body that makes it impossible for initiatives to happen. Provost Thomas asked that the minutes reflect that he did not say that things could not be done because of faculty. Senator Rippey stated since there is only one faculty representative on a committee of 24 members formed by the Provost, and since that committee was formed in order to get things accomplished quickly, she inferred that the committee was established in this fashion because the Provost did not think faculty could help the process. She stated that there is not much that can be changed at this point in the summer school process, but she would hope that faculty could help facilitate the actions determined by the Task Force. Provost Thomas reiterated he began in the faculty ranks, worked his way up, and has the utmost respect for faculty. He said the Summer Session Task Force is the first committee of this nature he has constituted since his appointment at ֱ, and the concerns about its make up are a point well taken. Chairperson DeVolder told senators that if they wish to continue the discussion, they should make a motion to extend the meeting past 6:00 p.m. Senator Siddiqi stated he thinks the Provost has heard in detail the issues and concerns of Faculty Senate about faculty participation on the Summer Session Task Force, and that he believes Provost Thomas will take action in whatever form he thinks is appropriate. Provost Thomas stated that since the Task Force is at the stage where there is only one more meeting before a draft report is presented, he likes the idea of having a faculty committee to provide input to the Task Force and bring forward concerns from the faculty. Chairperson DeVolder stated that Faculty Senate can discuss how to structure such a committee. Senator Pynes asked that the Senate Executive Committee be charged to develop a proposal. E. Faculty Input into Technology Decisions This agenda item was not discussed due to lack of time and will be placed on the October 27 agenda under Old Business.
