2. OPEN SESSION
(Please note that speakers at the Open Session are expressing their personal opinion,
which may not reflect the position of the Faculty Senate. Written statements submitted
during Open Session are available in full at the Faculty Center.)
Professor William Bickel Professor Bickel protested the recently concluded CAFT proceedings regarding the Marguerite Kay case that began in February 2001 without the presence of Professor Kay.
Senator Roy Spece Senator Spece described a CAFT investigation of his grievance within his college and his ongoing lawsuit against certain University personnel and the Arizona Board of Regents.
3. REPORTS
3A. ASUA President Doug Hartz
Senator Hartz introduced ASUA Academic Affairs Director Christopher Farney, and ASA
Director Jennifer Rimsza. Marcy Holmes was unable to attend todays meeting. One of
ASUAs goals for 2002-03 is to increase voter registration and turnout for faculty,
staff and students. ASUA also hope to schedule legislative debates and hopefully a
gubernatorial debate on campus in October.
3B. GPSC President Pete Morris
No report.
3C. Vice Chair of the Faculty
Wanda Howell
Vice Chair Howell welcomed and introduced the new and returning Senators. She directed
Senators attention to the Senate schedule for 2002-03 and noted that there is
currently no Senate meeting scheduled in January 2003 due to the beginning of the semester
on January 15, and the MLK holiday on January 20. She asked if Senators would prefer to
meet on January 13, 2003, two days prior to the beginning of the semester or to have no
Senate meeting scheduled in January 2003. No one spoke in favor of having a Senate meeting
on January 13, 2003, so the Senate will not meet in January 2003. Vice Chair Howell also
announced the College of Public Healths faculty vote results regarding naming the
college for a private donor. Of forty-six faculty members voting, 39 were in favor and 5
were against with 2 abstentions. She noted that the Senate and General Faculty Standing
Committees annual reports were all included in todays Senate packets.
3D. Secretary of the Faculty
Robert Mitchell
Secretary Mitchell reported that while Senators expressed significant interest in
participating in a Decision Lab process, not enough senators were available on any one
date this spring so this process may be scheduled for the fall. Meanwhile, he asked for
immediate feedback to two questions: "How can Senate meetings be made to be more
effective?" and "Why are we having problems filling committee and Senate
seats?" via the purple questionnaire included in Senators packets today.
3E. Chair of the Faculty Jory
Hancock
Chair Hancock reported that the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) approved an in-state
tuition increase of only 4%. He speculated that the governor and Jaime Moleras
involvement may have influenced the vote this time, and that several regents were
conflicted and may not vote that way next year. He also believes the two newest regents
are strong advocates of tuition adjustments that will allow the universities to better
support themselves. Greg Faheys Office of State Relations reports that many members
of the legislature are advocates for higher education but are handicapped by this
years state budget crisis. Chair Hancock commended the Senates standing
committee chairs and thanked the APPC, under the leadership of Amy Williamsen and Robert
Mitchell for that committees hard work on Faculty Grievance and Reorganization
Procedures. He also thanked ICPC Chair Steve Smith, RPC Chair Chestalene Pintozzi, SAPC
Chair Frank Romer, and Committee of Eleven Chair Roger Caldwell. Chair Hancock
congratulated Senator Vicki Chandler who has recently been elected to the National Academy
of Sciences, and Vice Chair of the Faculty Wanda Howell who has just been named a UA
Distinguished Professor.
3F. Provost George Davis
Provost Davis commented about the challenges of the budget cuts. The tuition increase
will cost the University about $3.7M in anticipated revenue. It appears that the
legislature will recommend a 9% cut on UAs budget. Tier I and II general education
classes will not be at full capacity next fall. The planning for cuts that will take
effect July 1 must involve close interaction among deans, department heads and directors,
and elected faculty representatives and faculty governance within the colleges, in order
to determine the best ideas for strategic saves and to minimize surprises. A broad general
cut across the board would reduce excellence of the institution and the universitys
ability to target strategic mission areas although making selected decisions results in
tremendous resistance and counter-arguments and deep dialogue. SPBAC has recommended
guidelines for evaluating where cuts, saves, and mergers could be achieved in the
following six areas; educational excellence, research and creative excellence, student
demand, vital public impact, revenue generation, and interdisciplinary need. The plan for
a UA-North to be co-located with Pima Community College Northwest will have to be deferred
for now. Provost Davis voiced his support for the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) to be
offered exclusively at UA-South. There is significant demand among citizens of southeast
Arizona for this program and the BAS is an established model for many universities
including NAU and ASU.
3G. President Peter Likins
President Likins noted that not many faculty senates in America that include a member of
the National Academy of Sciences, as well as several University Distinguished Professors
and he congratulated Senators Chandler and Howell. As the states budget crisis
continues, President Likins warned that there will be adverse effects on the
Universitys programmatic offerings. The previous cut was met largely with dollars
that were allocated for one-time expenditures that could be deferred. This strategy helped
to reduce the burden before spreading it out among the operating units and thereby reduced
the impact on academic operations although 55 adjunct professors and 120+ courses were
eliminated this spring. The burden for next year will be an additional 2.5% to a possible
high of 9%. Since the budget numbers are still changing, it is almost impossible to plan
adequately for the classes necessary to meet the needs of an increasingly large incoming
freshman class as well as for the graduating seniors. In addition, the 90-day notice rule
for non-renewals of appointments for adjuncts, instructors, and critical researchers
requires that such notices be sent immediately, although there is a chance that those
instructors may be called back into service when the final budget is known. In preparation
for possible reorganizations, mergers, or eliminations, today the Senate will be asked to
consider a process of consultation that would involve the affected faculty and more
generally the Faculty Senate. This process will be unlike Arizona International College,
which was created by the Regents and was therefore disestablished by the Regents.
President Likins emphasized that although the universities have more friends in the state
legislature this year than in the recent past, there simply arent any funds. He
expressed bitter disappointment in the Regents decisions not to increase tuition
significantly to enable the university to meet the needs of its students, nor to better
accommodate the needs of scholarship students. He will continue to build both political
and regential relationships to increase understanding of how universities work, so that,
as the state economy recovers and the governorship changes, the universities might find
the political will to rebuild and maintain their financial base.

APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA ITEM FORWARDED AS A
SECONDED MOTION FROM INSTRUCTION AND CURRICULUM POLICY COMMITTEE (attachment)
The consent agenda items detailed at the end of these minutes were approved [Motions
2002/03-1, 2002/03-2].
INFORMATION ITEM: UA
SOUTHS BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (attachment)
Professors Peter Medine, chair of the Undergraduate Councils (UGC) Program
Subcommittee and UA South (UAS) Professor Joni Anderson presented background and
information about UA South and the Bachelor Of Applied Science (BAS) degree proposal. Pr.
Medine anticipates that UGC will bring the BAS degree forward as a seconded motion early
next fall for the Senates approval. UAS was established in Sierra Vista as a branch
campus in 1995 and is separate line item funded by the legislature so it does not compete
with UA for funds. The student body of UAS is non-traditional, 73% female, 42% minority,
with an average age of 33. The UAS facultys workload is heavily weighted toward
teaching: 60% teaching, 20% research, and 20% service. The upper division courses are
already being taught there; what is new about this proposal is the BAS degree. The campus
is primarily fed by Cochise Community College with a 2+2 arrangement that provides for UAS
to offer the upper division courses for the degree. UAS is a regional campus and so does
not compete with UA for students, and the BAS degree will be unique to UAS. The curriculum
for the BAS builds on students prior education and work experience and articulation
is a major issue that can be dealt with by virtue of UAS smaller size, the
difference in orientation and advising, and the institutional aims. This degree program,
by nature, places much more emphasis on applied skills. The BAS is offered at universities
in Minnesota, Michigan, Texas, and Wisconsin, as well as ASU and NAU. The BAS is intended
to fulfill a local, regional need and will be offered exclusively at UAS, and is not an
alternative to the BA or BS offered at UA. This degree is intended to be terminal, so
students anticipating pursuing graduate degrees will be counseled to seek the BA or BS.
The UAS faculty has no retreat rights to main campus, as they do not have tenure at UA but
are a discrete faculty. The UGC subcommittee has found the proposal to be consistent with
the mission of a land grant university. Senators questions and the responses
included the following: 1) How is UAS related to UA main and faculty governance? UA South
has no autonomy with respect to curriculum development and all of its programmatic
proposals come through the usual channels here at main campus. Vice Provost for Academic
Affairs Ervin also led an effort to develop promotion and tenure standards and criteria
for UAS. There is a requirement for a faculty governance process and a need for such, as a
UA entity. By contrast, ASU East is academically autonomous, and ASU West is academically
autonomous and fully accredited. 2) What is the timeline for this proposal? A three-year
implementation is proposed, over which time, three additional faculty members would be
added. 3) Will this require an increase in faculty? The proposal as written would require
no additional faculty to offer both the general education and core components in the four
concentrations. 4) Maybe this time is not the best time to expand, due to the budget
crisis. 5) Where are UAS classes offered? Although ABOR recently approved UAS to offer
classes in Vail, this BAS program will be offered exclusively in Sierra Vista and Douglas.
6) Does the BAS preclude someone from pursuing graduate work? Students considering
graduate study will be advised to pursue the traditional bachelors degree as this is
considered a terminal degree. Students pursuing graduate study would have to complete all
the prerequisites necessary for entrance into the graduate program. An AAS Associate in
Applied Science is regularly offered at most of the community colleges including Pima and
Cochise. This program will meet the educational needs and increase the upward mobility of
many rural students who are "place-bound" by jobs, family, or culture. 7) What
is the enrollment? Head count: 412, FTE: 267. Enrollment has been increasing every
semester. 8) What are the four concentrations? Business Administration, Educational
Technology, Family Sciences and Human Development, and Public Administration. 9) The
degree name, Bachelor of Applied Science, seems to imply a concentration in the hard
sciences but in many ways, it is more a degree of applied technology. The term Bachelor of
Applied Science is nationally recognized and understood.
DISCUSSION AND ACTION:
MEDINE RESOLUTION (attachment)
Vice Chair Howell opened discussion on former Senator P. Medines request that the
following resolution be placed on the May Senate agenda: "That the Faculty Senate
empanel a five-member ad hoc committee to determine the dollar amount necessary to bring
teaching and research faculty salaries to within 5% of current American Association of
Universities Data Exchange (AAUDE) levels; and to recommend to the Senate for discussion a
plan to reach those levels within a three-year period." Senators questions and
responses included the following: 1) Isnt there already a committee in place to
study faculty salaries? The University Compensation Advisory Team (UCAT) is a broad-based,
university-wide committee composed of 13 core and 6-8 adjunct members, that considers
faculty, appointed personnel, and staff salaries, but not specifically this topic. Within
ABOR, an annually updated study exists that defines the annual gap/shortfall between
compensations received by our three university faculties as well as by some comparison
set. Calculations in the past have placed that shortfall at $66M. 2) Is a committee really
necessary to get a group of people together to crunch numbers? Jerry Hogle formed an ad
hoc committee, the Faculty Chairs Task Force on Faculty Salaries, which met for
about three years and did receive those numbers from the Department of Planning and
Support. 3) If we did manage to extract these numbers, what would we do with them? 4) The
school districts and community colleges consistently receive larger raises. 5) The
teachers have a union to represent them and negotiate their contracts. 6) The Medine
resolution specifically asks for a plan to be developed. 7) Perhaps a collaborative effort
with the Strategic Planning and Budget Advisory Committee (SPBAC) to create a five-year
plan with goals and strategies for achieving those goals could be implemented. Senator
Spece moved [Motion 2002/03-3] to table the resolution, until Pr. Medine can be
present to clarify his resolution, or until a sitting Senator can bring it up. Motion was
seconded. Motion was not acted upon. Vice Chair Howell ruled that the Senate can
delay action on the Medine resolution while the Senate Executive Committee clarifies with
him how to proceed. The Executive Committee will return this issue to the Senate attention
at a future meeting.
DISCUSSION AND ACTION:
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO "REORGANIZATION PROCEDURES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA"
(attachment)
As Acting Chair of the Academic Personnel Policy Committee (APPC), Secretary Mitchell
described the "Policy for Reorganization Procedures at the University of
Arizona," which was passed by the Faculty Senate in 1983 and revised in 1992 and
1993. That document was written prior to the Shared Governance Agreement and also refers
to committees that no longer exist. A team led by former Chair of the Faculty Jerry Hogle
and current Chair Jory Hancock drafted revisions to this document. The draft was then
reviewed by SPBAC, the Deans Council, and the Senate Executive Committee, all of
which offered suggestions for changes before forwarding it to APPC. APPC considered all of
those suggestions as well as some of its own resulting in todays version, which
comes as a seconded motion [Motion 2002/03-4]. Senator Spece moved [Motion
2002/03-5] to table Motion 2002/03-4 in order to allow more time for discussion.
Motion was seconded and failed, 10 in favor, 22 opposed, and 3 abstentions. Senators
comments and questions included the following: 1) The current draft policy does not
include any reference that the Senate is the body that approves changes in degree
programs. The 1993 version intended and understood that all actions concerning any program
changes that would normally fall within the purview of the Faculty Senate be routed
according to normal Senate procedures. This intent should be stated explicitly in the
document. 2) The original policy generated tremendous discussion in the Senate and was
widely circulated with subsequent iterations to the entire general faculty. At the very
least, the faculty should be informed via an article in Lo Que Pasa, which provides
the 1993 version along with a summary of the current changes, and what they mean. 3) It is
not possible for the Senate to seriously consider this policy in this abbreviated timeline
and furthermore, the entire general faculty should be involved. 4) What does the reference
to "negative decisions made by mandated sunset reviews" mean? If an academic
program or unit has a mandated sunset review, and it is the decision of that sunset review
to close that program, then the reorganization procedure will not reopen that department.
5) Why was the aspirational sentence on the top of page 2, "When unit or program
reduction or elimination would eliminate faculty positions, every effort should be made to
find alternative positions within the university for displaced faculty members"
eliminated? That language was struck because ABOR Policy 6-201K specifically governs
reorganizations caused by budgetary reasons or programmatic changes that would include
release of general faculty prior to the end of an appointment period, whereas this
reorganization policy and procedure relates to transfer of faculty members from one
academic unit to another. Releases involving non-tenured, tenure-track faculty would also
be governed by ABOR 6-201K with the exception of tenure-track faculty who are at the end
of a specific term for which they reasonably expect renewal. 7) The reason the draft team
thought this policy could be revised and approved by the Senate without months of
consultation is that all of the changes are basically housekeeping matters and do not
involve any changes to the intent or spirit of the 1993 version. As the time allotted for
discussion ran out, Secretary Mitchell asked that Senators with additional concerns please
email them to one of the faculty officers. Motion 2002/02-4 was not acted upon. President
Likins and Provost Davis told the Senate that if they have to make any programmatic
changes within the scope of this document, but that do not involve ABOR 6-201K, they will
proceed according to the spirit if not the exact letter of the 1993 policy until it is
replaced by a revised version.
SECOND READING AND POSSIBLE
ACTION: "SUGGESTED CHANGES TO CONSTITUTION OF THE GENERAL FACULTY" (attachment)
Secretary Mitchell explained that the proposed revisions come as a seconded motion [Motion
2002/03-6] from the Committee on Faculty Membership and involves two changes to
Article 1, Section 1 of the Faculty Constitution. The proposed changes would limit the
voting status of emeritus faculty to within the first five years of emeritus status with
extensions at the discretion of the home department, and would eliminate certain
ex-officio members as named in the Faculty Constitution since almost all of those
individuals already have voting status by virtue of their faculty appointments.
Senators questions and comments included the following: 1) Does this change remove
emeritus status from those faculty members who have already received emeritus status or
will they be grandfathered? The revision does not remove emeritus status; it limits the
voting privileges of all emeritus faculty that have been on emeritus status for five years
and beyond. The revision allows that, upon recommendation of their departments, individual
emeritus faculty members voting rights can be extended. 2) It seems strange that
emeritus faculty are allowed to vote in University-wide faculty elections when most
colleges and departments do not extend voting privileges to emeritus faculty. Senator
Silverman moved [Motion 2002/03-7] to amend the proposed revision to Article I,
Section 1.c. of the Faculty Constitution of the revision to read, "Such persons in
categories (a) and (b) who are in the first five years of Emeritus status which will be
extended for additional five-year periods at the request of the emeritus faculty
member." Motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Motion 2002/03-6 passed as
amended with one opposed.
INFORMATION ITEM: KIMBALL
CASE CHANGES TO THE ABOR POLICY MANUAL CHAPTER 6 §201, "CONDITIONS OF FACULTY
SERVICE" (attachment)
Secretary Mitchell explained the changes to the ABOR Policy Manual Chapter 6, Sections
201L, and 201M, "Conditions of Faculty Service" are mandated by the Kimball decision
of the Arizona Supreme Court. Since all modifications to the ABOR Conditions of Faculty
Service require consultation with representatives of the faculty senates, UA Attorney
Lynne Wood brought this document to the Senate Executive Committee last month. In the
spirit of shared governance, however, todays Senate is also receiving this document
and can ask questions or offer input. The changes add the following rights: 1) the right
to representation by counsel, not just as an advisor but as an attorney who can speak for
the grievant, examine and cross-examine witnesses, and make arguments; 2) the right to
subpoena witnesses and documents for the hearing; and 3) the right to request
reconsideration of the agency heads (university president) decision before the
decision becomes final. These changes affect faculty grievance policies in the cases of
dismissal, suspension without pay, or discriminatory or unconstitutional action. The
changes do not directly affect the grievance policy that the Senate has just approved
because the drafters of the revised policy took the Kimball decision into account.
APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA
ITEM FORWARDED AS SECONDED MOTION FROM SENATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REGARDING ON-LINE
FACULTY VOTING (attachment)
Vice Chair Howell introduced [Motion 2002/03-8], "The Senate Executive
Committee recommends conducting the General Faculty elections for 2002-03 using an on-line
voting system similar to those developed by the Center for Computing and Information
Technology for the past two ASUA elections and for this years GPSC election"
which comes as a seconded motion from the Senate Executive Committee. This item was
removed from Consent Agenda at the request of Senator Witte, who expressed concerns about
the security of on-line voting, reduced voter turnout, and emeritus faculty voters who may
not have on-line connections. She requested a survey of the general faculty to determine
its willingness to participate in on-line voting and moved to table. Motion died for lack
of a second. Senator Rimsza reported that ASUAs on-line elections, in addition to
simplifying the process, were widely accepted and did result in increased voter turnout.
Vice Chair Howell noted that faculty can request a paper ballot. Senator Chandler spoke on
behalf of on-line voting, noting that she is president of a 6000 member professional
organization that tripled voter turnout (from 20% to 60%) when it converted to on-line
voting and that security is not an issue. The most recent UA faculty election results
showed 19% of faculty voted. Motion passed with one opposed.
