Provosts Report Provost Thomas, in his visits to departments, has received positive feedback to his discussions of academic standards. He reiterated that it is imperative that students be held to the highest academic standards established by WIUs faculty. He pointed out that while faculty are evaluated by their students, there are many other factors that determine a professors overall evaluation. He said departments are glad that the Provost is supportive of their efforts to hold students accountable to the established academic standards. Provost Thomas has received complaints about physical problems in academic buildings, such as leaking roofs, and wishes to remind faculty that those types of problems should first be reported to building representatives who then can make an immediate report to Physical Plant. Provost Thomas said sometimes when he informs Physical Plant of the problem, his notification is the first they have received; reporting complaints to building representatives will allow Physical Plant to respond in a more timely manner to the request. He said while Physical Plant has a priority list for responding to requests, if the problem is urgent the building representative can make that known so that Physical Plant can address the issue accordingly. Provost Thomas said he has made requests on his own to Physical Plant when he has seen a dire need during his visits to departments. The Provost has received no emails nor heard any concerns to the proposed name change from the Board of Trustees Bachelor of Arts (BOT-BA) degree program to the Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. He plans to announce the change at the WIU Board of Trustees meeting on March 26. The Board of Trustees receives many calls from persons looking for the BOT-BA program and had asked the Provost to look into the problem. Provost Thomas related that as his office is in the process of working on the 2010-2011 undergraduate catalog, concerns were raised as to whether there are a sufficient number of approved Global Issues courses to implement the foreign language-global issues requirement in fall 2010. He brought this issue up at the Deans Council, and they recommended to President Goldfarb that the deadline for courses and departmental plans to meet the requirement be extended. Deans stated they would encourage departments to send their requests to the Council for International Education in time for them to be considered by Faculty Senate at its December 2010 meeting, and Provost Thomas has recommended to President Goldfarb that he grant the extension. The Provost asked senators to email him with any concerns about the extension. Senator McNabb asked for clarification as to whether the sole concern is that there are not enough courses for the requirement to begin in fall 2010; Provost Thomas replied that this is correct. Senator Rippey stated she supports postponement of the requirement, but assured the Provost that departments are moving forward, with a number of courses being proposed before the end of the academic year. Provost Thomas announced that a decision has been made to return WIU to the previous Student Absence Policy, which had been temporarily replaced by the H1N1 policy during that outbreak. He asked faculty to continue to work with students as much as possible when they are ill to assist them to make up work missed. SGA representative Jillisa Benton asked how soon students will be informed of the return to the original policy. Provost Thomas replied the administration wishes to return to the original absence policy immediately after the announcement is made by Associate Provost Dallinger. Two candidates have been interviewed for the position of Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Provost Thomas announced that two more interviews are scheduled. Senator Rippey pointed out that Provost Thomas left before the plus-minus conversation at the previous Senate meeting. She asked, since that conversation will be continued today, what his position is in regard to plus-minus grading. Provost Thomas replied he normally likes to quietly listen to the debate at Senate because he feels if he comments it might interfere with the faculty discussion and thinking on the issues. When the Provost visited SGA, he stated that his purpose was to talk about where the plus-minus grading system stood at that time and how it would be implemented. Provost Thomas told SGA that plus-minus grading did not come from the faculty but from the students; he said SGAs response was that the current group of students is different from those that supported plus-minus several years ago. Provost Thomas told senators he is neither for nor against plus-minus grading, but when an initiative has been approved through the Presidential level, his obligation is to implement it. Based upon that, Provost Thomas stated that plus-minus grading will begin in fall 2010. B. Student Government Association (SGA) Report (Jillisa Benton, SGA Representative) Ms. Benton told senators that SGA did not meet last Tuesday so there is no report at this time. Other Announcements President Goldfarb has approved the Posthumous Undergraduate Degree Policy. Chairperson DeVolder welcomed new Senator Virginia Broffitt from Music, who is taking the place of Senator Miczo for the remainder of this semester, and welcomed back Senator Deitz.

The Vice President is receiving comments on the chapters reviewed thus far via email, and a cover-to-cover edition of the self-study, revised based upon input received from faculty and other constituent groups, will be sent to senators later this week. Associate Provost Dallinger expressed her thanks to those who participated in the focus groups for the study. III. Reports of Committees and Councils Council on Curricular Programs and Instruction (Jim LaPrad, Chair) 1. Request for New Course MATH 211, Euclidean Geometry, 3 s.h. Senator Rippey stated she has no objections to the course or what the department is trying to do, but wondered if MATH 211 would be limited to teacher education students. Mathematics Chair Iraj Kalantari replied the course is not limited to teacher education students; it is only required in the major for those students in the teacher education program. Senator Rippey asked if the non-teacher education students taking MATH 211 will be allowed to opt out of CS 225 or will still be required to take it. Dr. Kalantari explained non-teacher education students are required to take CS 211 and 212, which the department feels is more appropriate for this group of students. He said MATH 211 is open to non-teacher ed students without limitation, and they may choose to take it as an elective. Senator McNabb noted the email from Computer Science Chair Kathy Neumann indicated that there were only two Mathematics Teacher Certification students enrolled in CS 225 over the last calendar year. She asked what students in this major are currently taking instead of this course. Dr. Kalantari explained the figure quoted by Dr. Neumann represents the totality of students at the particular time she did the count; he said Dr. Neumann has indicated the number may actually have been a little higher. Dr. Kalantari added there were also a low number of students going through the program during that time period. NEW COURSE APPROVED 2. Request for Change in Option a.

IV. Old Business SGA Response to Plus-Minus Grading Chairperson DeVolder reminded senators that at the last meeting Faculty Senate decided to continue the discussion on two bills submitted by SGA, one asking that the decision to convert to plus-minus grading be rescinded and the other asking that a plus-only system be instituted in its place. Chairperson DeVolder pointed out that in order for Faculty Senate to make any recommendations either in support of or against the two bills, a motion and a vote would be necessary. Autumn Greenwood, SGA Liaison from Inter-Hall Council, informed senators that both councils have heard from numerous students that they do not wish to see plus-minus grading implemented. She said students do not believe that their grades and GPAs will be positively impacted by plus-minus grading, and if WIU wants to be seen as supporting its students, the University should listen to them and not implement plus-minus. Rori Carson, Assistant Dean for Teacher Education in Undergraduate Education in the College of Education and Human Services, said she does not have an opinion on plus-minus grading but wished to provide senators with some new information relative to the impact of plus-minus on teacher education students. She related that recently the Illinois State Board of Education passed a requirement to be implemented next year or the beginning of FY 2012 requiring that anyone that applies for certification in the state of Illinois must have earned grades of C or better in all certification classes; she explained this would include all courses in the major as well as professional classes, such as student teaching and educational foundation courses, and directed General Education courses in those programs that have them, such as Special Education, Elementary Education, Mathematics, and the sciences. She explained this will mean that, for teacher education students, a C- will effectively be the same as receiving an F in that they will be required to retake the course and will not be allowed to move forward in the teacher education program. She pointed out this may delay students progress toward graduation, particularly if it occurs in their major courses. Senator Finch pointed out that more than one teacher education program at WIU requires a C or better to continue progressing in the program, so the new requirement should not harm students any more than the current internal gateways. She does not think receiving a C or better is a more significant expectation than others that are already faced by teacher education students. Dr. Carson clarified the new requirement will be broader than just courses within the major; it will extend to courses such as EIS 101 and 102, for instance. Senator Finch pointed out that teacher education already offers an appropriately challenging set of classes, as it should. Ms. Benton asked senators to also keep in mind the pressures that students face in their education getting a C or better as well as family problems, work outside of school, and other events that can impact their grades. She said plus-minus grading will close the gap for some students who struggle to receive a grade of C. She pointed out that some academic departments are more competitive than others, and plus-minus affects all departments campuswide. Senator Rippey announced she does not support the suggestion that WIU turn back the decision to implement plus-minus grading, stating that the University has gone too far down that path and she endorses the grading change. She stated the fact that the current grading system obscures weak students is not an argument to retain that system. Senator Rippey said if it is found that some of those enrolled in the teacher education program are C- students and have to repeat a class or classes, that is all to the better. She explained with the current grading system, there is no way of knowing whether a C average student at WIU is actually a decimal point away from a B or a decimal point away from a D. She believes the odds are just as good that C students become C+ students when WIU changes to a plus-minus system as it is that they become C- students. She asserted a plus-minus system does not necessarily make students look worse on transcripts; she believes if students are currently making Cs in classes and with plus-minus grading find that they are receiving C- grades, their only option will be to work harder, which is a good thing for everyone to do. Senator Hoge informed senators he interacts with over 100 students and, after the last Senate meeting, asked them how plus-minus was ever brought up by students who passionately do not now want this grading system. He said students are very aware of plus-minus grading but few of those he polled filled out the SGA survey, primarily because it was administered over Christmas break and they did not check their WIU emails. When Senator Hoge conducted a straw poll of his students, not one student in 100 supported plus-minus grading for ֱ. Senator Hoge said he is concerned from a faculty standpoint about the accuracy of grading to a plus-minus system when two points could mean a C- that would knock a student out of his or her degree program; he noted that being point pesky will result in faculty holding students futures even more in their hands. He also expressed concerns about the conversion in light of low enrollments, the budget crisis, and discussions about the importance of faculty recruitment efforts, and described plus-minus grading as a potential recruitment nightmare. He predicted students will quickly choose other institutions without plus-minus grading if the new system is implemented, adding that giving other universities the option to say, We dont have plus-minus; come here, will result in less students for WIU. English and Journalism professor Bradley Dilger asked where the data is showing that universities with plus-minus grading are failing. Dr. Dilger related he came to ֱ from a university with a plus-minus system, and he did not see students running out of the doors because of it. Dr. Dilger asked if plus-minus is to be a mandated system for ֱ or whether faculty will be allowed to grade on a straight A-B-C scale once it is implemented. Senator Maskarinec informed senators that of the state schools formerly in the Board of Governors System, Northern Illinois University, Illinois State, Eastern Illinois University, Governors State, Southern Illinois-Carbondale and Southern-Illinois-Edwardsville, Chicago State, and Northeastern Illinois University all do not have plus-minus grading. He said there seems to be a perception among other state universities that plus-minus grading would be detrimental to them. Senator Maskarinec stated that even if this is a perception not based upon fact, it is clear that plus-minus is perceived poorly by students. Senator Maskarinec stated since there is no A+, one cannot argue that it will not negatively impact GPAs of the Universitys best students, and he does not want to hurt this group. He related that the average range between the highest and the lowest A grades in the 45 sections of classes he has taught at WIU was 7.13 percentage points; there was a 6.13 percent range between the highest and lowest B grades, and only a 2.98 percent range between the highest B and the lowest A grades he assigned. Senator Maskarinec stated when he gives students in his classes a significant number of challenging assignments and exams, the grades tend to cluster. Senator Maskarinec related he is not pedantic about a scale; he does not give a B to a student who achieves an 89.99 because it is possible he could have missed a percentage point. He looks at the gaps between grade clusters to determine his cut offs and is comfortable with that; he said while he could break those clusters out into pluses and minuses, he is not convinced that student effort correlates to those grades. He related that a transfer student recently missed a 20-point question on one of his exams because he did not have the same background as other students in the class; because the exam counted as two percent of the students grade in the course, it would have resulted in a drop from a B to a B- under plus-minus grading. Senator Maskarinec said this student would have been penalized not because he didnt put the time and effort into the class as other students but because he did not have the same academic background as them, and that is scary. Senator Blackinton stated that, partly as a result of Senator Maskarinecs discussion, she has reversed her position on plus-minus grading. She stated if students intend to work in Illinois and employers compare their GPAs with students from other state universities without plus-minus grading, it will be difficult for WIU students to compete. Philosophy and Religious Studies professor Lee Brice, who chaired the ad hoc plus-minus implementation committee, said he is not married to the implementation report, but is in favor of the policy as approved by President Goldfarb. He said the policy as stated requires that WIU use a plus-minus grading system, but that is all; it does not mandate that the University adopt a ten-point or a seven-point scale and does not mandate that plus-minus be utilized by all faculty. He stated the policy leaves the faculty with discretion whether to adopt plus-minus grading or not. Dr. Brice also related that input from various students who have gone on to graduate school indicates that GPAs from WIU are being discounted in comparison with other universities, including those that do not use plus-minus grading. CAGAS Chair Rich Filipink, who was vice chair of the plus-minus implementation committee, said he is comfortable grading as accurately as possible; it is easy for him to tell between an eight-point and a five-point essay question as there is a difference in terms of effort. Dr. Filipink sees a clear difference between students achieving a grade of 89 and those earning a grade of 80, and is comfortable requiring students to make that standard. Dr. Filipink pointed out that ֱ has had problems overcoming its poor academic reputation, and plus-minus grading will help resolve that problem. He stated that competitive schools with plus-minus grading are rated higher than others because in universities without plus-minus it is not clear if a B grade is really a B, a B+, or a B-. Dr. Filipink told senators that a proposed grade replacement policy will be considered by CAGAS this week; he stated, if approved by CAGAS, Faculty Senate and the President, this policy could address concerns about lower grades. Students, under this policy, would be allowed to retake courses and keep the higher grade for purposes of GPA determination. Dr. Filipink believes a plus-minus system provides a more accurate reflection of student performance and that students need that. He pointed out that students cannot graduate with a C- grade because it is under the 2.0 mandated by the University, and if that requires a student to change programs, thats part of the process. Assistant Provost Hawkinson related that plus-minus grading was rejected by CAGAS in the mid-1990s, but he served on CAGAS and attended Senate meetings when it was reintroduced and approved in 2005. He said the issues being discussed today were all discussed at that time, and research on plus-minus was conducted nationwide. He related it was found that private schools and the better public schools adopted plus-minus grading systems. He recalled there was a real effort on the part of former President Spencer to raise the standards of ֱ, and the push for plus-minus, along with the adoption of W and WID course standards, was part of that effort. He pointed out that the University of Illinois does use a plus-minus system, and he believes that once ֱ adopts it, some of the other 11 state schools will follow, just as they did with the cost guarantee. Assistant Provost Hawkinson related that when he attended WIU as a student, 10,000 to 12,000 students attended WIU football games, and they booed former President Malpass when the University switched from a quarter to a semester system. He said the campus was torn apart over the conversion, but within a year or two everyone adjusted to the new system and were happy the University adopted semesters. Assistant Provost Hawkinson predicted the same thing will occur with plus-minus grading: faculty and students will get used to the new system. He pointed out that more and more high schools within the last 20 years have begun using plus-minus, so students entering college are familiar with the system and may want to attend WIU because it is the system they are used to using. Ms. Benton said professors have informed her that law schools pre-rank institutions and adjust grades of graduates from those schools accordingly. She asked if other graduate schools have adopted this concept. Senator Rippey responded that law school admissions services do this systematically, and the GPAs of WIU grads are discounted because it is not clear whether the Bs they receive are really B+ or B- grades. Ms. Benton asked if adoption of a plus-minus system would move ֱ up on this ranking scale. Senator Rippey replied LSDAS could identify the gradation at WIU and accept the GPA after plus-minus grading is implemented as being a more refined measurement. She said this may or may not occur because the system that is in place for law schools represents a systematic weighing of institutions; for instance, a B+ from WIU would probably be weighted differently than the same grade from Harvard. Ms. Benton asked if any data had been collected from schools that have undergone a conversion to plus-minus grading to see if their ranking improved as a result of that change. Dr. Brice responded that CAGAS found four examples of such a change; in two cases, after the grading system was converted to plus-minus it improved the status of the school, and in the other two cases the status remained the same. Registrar Angela Lynn pointed out that the original plus-minus implementation report included a section that specified that faculty could opt to use plus-minus grading or not as long as this was clearly indicated on the syllabus, but that section was removed at the request of Faculty Senate before the report went to President Goldfarb for approval. Parliamentarian Kaul wondered how faculty could be prevented from determining what kind of grade to award their students, regardless of whether this section was included in the approved report or not. He asked how faculty members could be questioned as to whether their grades reflect the traditional grading system rather than the new plus-minus system. Dr. Lynn responded the Registrars office will not be asking faculty if, for example, a student receives a B whether it should have been a B+, but she warned that the question could come up in a grade appeal. Cornell Bondurant, sophomore transfer student, said no high schools in Rockford used plus-minus grading. He said reintroducing the plus-minus grading discussion appears to be keeping up with the Joneses in terms of raising standards, which will be unnecessary if there is not a continuing influx of students. Mr. Bondurant said he would rather receive a grade of B on his transcript even if he does achieve an 89.999. He would rather be graded based upon how well he does in class than at a professors discretion at the end of the day. Senator Rippey pointed out that faculty do make those judgments; they judge the work students do and determine what it takes to receive certain grades in their classes. She said grading is not a litmus test where grades are applied and it turns red or blue; grade determination is within the purview of the faculty member, regardless of whether plus-minus is in place. Senator Rippey stated it could be a potential problem for CAGAS if faculty choose not to utilize plus-minus grading, but that is not an argument against the plus-minus system. She appreciates that some faculty may be fearful of students saying that their grade should be a C rather than a C-, but Senator Rippey pointed out that students make those kinds of complaints currently and that isnt going to change. She predicted that if students are given whole grades on all work after the plus-minus system is implemented, they will petition faculty to use plus-minus because they will want to know whether their B is actually a B+ or if they are currently receiving a C- rather than a C. Senator Rippey believes it does not matter when plus-minus is implemented or what cohort of students wanted it before and do not want it today; these are not arguments against changing the policy. She explained decisions to change policy must be made on its merits, and she finds it unconvincing and unbelievable that any student would choose their college on the basis of plus-minus grading. She related that a student at the last Senate meeting asserted she loves WIUs faculty and courses but would go elsewhere if plus-minus is implemented, but Senator Rippey does not believe that. She said this undergraduate has every reason to believe she will remain a stellar student under a plus-minus system. Senator Rippey believes that when students and their parents are choosing colleges, plus-minus grading is not even on their radar; she does not believe its implementation will create a recruitment problem. She told senators unless none of these issues were considered when the policy was approved, Senate should let it go forward. She recommended a senator make a motion to vote on this because it appears that the current arguments have been made before. Motion: To support SGA Bill 2009-2010.003 and recommend to the President that he immediately stop implementation of plus-minus and return to the current grading system as is (Maskarinec/Hogg) Senator McNabb remarked that students oftentimes take their cues from faculty concerning academic policy. She believes if faculty promote the attitude that plus-minus is contentious and problematic for their grades, then students may be alarmed by it. Senator McNabb told senators she has been talking up plus-minus to her students for three years and using it as a grading system. She sends an email to students who might have received a B+ if a plus-minus system were in place, and every one of these three or four dozen students has unfailingly written back to thank her for telling them what they actually earned in her class. She said plus-minus grading allows faculty a greater ability to judge students performance and rewards them with the grades theyve earned, and if the system is promoted in this way, faculty can bring students along. Senator Rippey urged senators to table the motion and not take a vote on it until Faculty Senate is able to collect some real data on the attitudes of current and potential students. She said that while she appreciates that SGA put together a survey to gather students responses, the data they provided is unreliable; the items on the survey were not correctly objective, so the data is not useful to senators. She added that straw polls conducted in classes are also not reliable data collection methods. She urged senators to determine if students are really against plus-minus grading, pointing out that of the four students who spoke at the previous Senate meeting, two were in favor of plus-minus, and no reliable data exists as to what students attitudes to the grading system really are. Senator Rippey said it would be a shame if senators put the University to great effort for so many years to develop the ability to assign plus-minus grades only to stop that implementation while lacking any empirical evidence that concerns about student attitudes toward it are well founded. Senator Pynes said he does not want to table the motion but to vote it down; he said otherwise the Senate should develop a survey in order for students to have a say in what should be on syllabi, which is clearly within faculty members purview. He pointed out that part of a faculty members job is to be discerning and make decisions about students. Senator Pynes related that every semester he is shocked at how poorly students do on his final exam; he often hears students say that as long as they receive a C on the final, they will get a B in the class because they are stuck in a range. He stated that grading is a measure of learning; students are not given better grades based on how well-prepared they are but on how well they perform in class. He asserted a syllabus policy is not necessary to indicate plus-minus grading because the University already has a syllabus policy in place that specifies students must be informed how their grades will be determined. Senator Pynes related that while hearing a grade appeal, he overturned a grade given by a faculty member because the grading system was contradictory. He stated to avoid grade appeals requires intellectual labor on the part of faculty to have a clear, understandable system for students; he said faculty need to sell the grading system to students and explain how they are being graded. He concluded that Faculty Senate has spent too much time discussing this issue, and he wants to vote the motion down. SENATOR PYNES CALLED THE QUESTION NO OBJECTIONS TO CLOSING DEBATE MOTION FAILED 7 YES 13 NO 0 AB Senator Pynes asserted it would weaken Faculty Senate to ask the President to overturn something the Senate as a body previously decided was a good idea, and said he is glad the motion was voted down. Ms. Benton pointed out that SGA proposed two bills and asked what Faculty Senate intends regarding the second one. Chairperson DeVolder responded in order for any action to occur on SGA Bill 2009-2010.004, a motion is necessary; he said if no motion is forthcoming, business will be concluded on this topic. Senator Hogg asked how SGA came up with the plus-only bill. Ms. Benton responded at the end of last semester during the plus-minus conversation, a non-SGA student told the Council she came from a university with plus-only grading and students really liked it. Ms. Benton explained a plus-only system allows for more accurate reporting of strong students grades while not punishing those students who are struggling. She said SGA was not convinced that a plus-minus system would motivate students to work harder but thought that a plus-only system would allow those students who wished to stand out academically to do so while not penalizing others. She pointed out that the plus-minus system proposed for WIU does not include an A+ so A students have no incentive to achieve higher grades. She expressed concerns for WIU juniors who will only have one semester to bring up their GPAs if they see a drop after plus-minus is implemented. She proposed that Faculty Senate could consider implementing a plus-only system while the university transitions to plus-minus, stating this step was taken by a university in Indiana. Senator Siddiqi asked if the plus-system proposed by SGA would include a D+. Ms. Benton replied that it would, although the copy provided to Senate did not include this grade. Chairperson DeVolder suggested a straw poll could be taken to see whether there are strong feelings of support for a plus-only system. Senator Pynes related when he worked at the University of Tennessee that institution had a plus-only system but has since converted to plus-minus over the objections of their students because students grades were being marked down when they went on to graduate or law schools. He said in that case students also went before the University of Tennessees senate, but faculty determined in their best judgment to make the change. Senator Siddiqi stated he does not think it would be fair to students to implement a plus-only system because it would lower the standards of the institution. Motion: To turn down SGA Bill 2009-2010.004 advocating a plus-only system (Siddiqi/Pynes) MOTION APPROVED 19 YES 1 NO 0 AB Request to Change UNIV 100 to a Graded Course Chairperson DeVolder summarized that some senators expressed concerns and requested additional material related to UNIV 100 being approved for grading rather than S/U. He pointed out that senators have now been provided with two syllabi for the course, sample assignments and activities, and expected learning outcomes. Senator Rippey asked if a motion is required to approve the request; Chairperson DeVolder replied since the request originally came forward as part of the CCPI report and was objected to at that time, it has now been returned as an item of Old Business and would require a motion for approval. Motion: That Faculty Senate approve the change to a letter grade for UNIV 100 (Rippey/Erdmann) Senator Rippey explained that UNIV 100 is an existing course in the Universitys undergraduate catalog, and it has not been the practice at WIU to review the educational processes of instructors of record who are authorized to teach courses nor to supervise the way that those instructors assign grades. She said there are strong arguments to change UNIV 100 to letter grading in order to encourage more students to take the course, and she sees no reason to challenge that those who are assigned to teach it will dispense the correct letter grade.
