3. FACULTY GOVERNANCE AWARD – Presented by Dick Alston

In October of 1998 the Weber State Chapter of the Utah Association of Academic Professionals (UAAP) donated funds returned to them when the UAAP disbanded. These funds were set up in an endowment from which the interest income would fund an annual UAAP faculty award and stipend for service to faculty governance. The award was established to recognize faculty who have led efforts to improve faculty governance at Weber State. The original check for the endowment was issued to Weber State in the amount of $17,628.65.

Sue Harley was selected to receive this year’s Faculty Governance Award. Along with a plaque Sue Harley was presented a check for $800 less taxes. Past recipients of the award are: 2004 - No award given, 2003 - Rosemary Conover, 2002 - Jim Wilson, 2001 - Judith Mitchell, 2000 - Candadai Seshachari, 1999 - Bob Higginson.

8. SHEPHERD UNION BUILDING REPORT – Bill Fruth

Bill Fruth gave an update on the renovation of the Union Building. They have designated a private dining area of 1,200 sq. ft. on the main level of the Union Building where the Junction is currently located for private, sit down dining. The definition of what will go into that area has not yet been decided. They have issued an RFP for the design and development of the Union Building, and will continue to study the request of the Faculty Senate for table-service dining and feel optimistic. The design part of the renovation will continue through Fall semester 2005. They hope to begin construction late Spring 2006. Construction on the project will take two years.

The question was asked if President’s Council was willing to subsidize a private dining area. Toni Weight indicated that this has been discussed by President’s Council, and they would support a reasonable subsidy.

Faculty were very concerned that no changes have been made to the design of the Union Building addressing their request for private, table-service dining. At the January 27, 2005 Faculty Senate meeting Rick Sline presented a proposal to include a small (50-75 seats) quiet, table-service dining room in the renovation plans of the Shepherd Union Building. This would be a lunch-only retail restaurant and should be located in the high traffic area on the 2^nd floor offering a limited menu of sandwiches, soups, salads, pasta dishes, specials of the day, etc. A motion was passed at the January 27^th meeting to include a small (50-75 seats) quiet, table-service dining room in the renovation plan for the Shepherd Union Building. The motion passed with 25 in favor of the motion, 9 against and 3 abstentions.

Currently Paul Joines and Greg Lewis sit on the Union Renovation Committee.

Motion:
Moved to have the Executive Committee recommend two faculty members to meet with the design group and help design the space allocated for the private dining area.
Made: Bill Clapp
Second: Yu-Jane Yang
Outcome: Approved unanimously.

9. SALARY, BENEFITS, BUDGET AND FISCAL PLANNING COMMITTEE – John Sillito, Chair

Proposed Policy - (II) Supplemental Pay Policy

The Committee recommends the following language be added to PPM 4-6 STATEMENT: FACULTY WORKLOAD

B. Teaching Overload

1. A regularly contracted faculty member may teach a maximum of 12 semester hours per academic year (2 semesters) in addition to the 24 semester hours of normal teaching load.

2. Low enrollment courses (directed readings, independent study, clinical supervision, internships, etc.) are exempt from the overload limit.

3. Exceptions may be made to the above statements (1-2) in unusual situations when extenuating circumstances exist. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis ~~for a twelve month period (summer term through Spring Semester)~~. Such exceptions must be approved in advance by the department chair and dean.

(Note: If this change is made, Part B. of PPM 4-6, currently labeled Other Professional Activities, will become Part C.)

PPM 3-50 - SUPPLEMENTAL PAY/FACULTY

I. DEFINITIONS

A. Extra Compensation
Payment for services rendered in addition to normal full-time activity or 100 percent of an individual’s salaried effort.

B. Funds Administered by the University
General funds, uniform school funds, grant and contract funds, restricted and unrestricted funds, auxiliary funds, WSUSA funds, and development funds.

C. Full-time
Full-time appointments for both faculty and staff members require full commitment of working time and effort.

II. POLICY

A. Applicability
This policy applies solely to funds administered and paid by the University.

B. Approval Requirements
1. Faculty Members:

a. Department Chair and academic dean, for all faculty members receiving additional compensation.

b. Grants and contracts officer, in addition to the dean, for individuals who are compensated wholly or in part by sponsored funds.

NOTE: When faculty members are requested to teach a course outside their own departments during a regular teaching semester (e.g.), that course will either be scheduled as part of the faculty member’s normal teaching load or extra compensation will be paid to the faculty member. If faculty are in compliance with the credit-hour limit on overload teaching, there will be no monetary limit on the proportion of salary which may be earned through additional teaching.

C. Faculty members may engage in research, sponsored projects, training grants, interdepartmental consulting, ~~extra teaching~~, etc., during any twelve-month academic year ~~(Summer Term through Spring Semester)~~ in which they also fulfill the requirements of their regular full-time faculty appointment at the University and be reimbursed as supplemental pay. ~~a maximum of one-third of the basic salary earned during their regular appointment.~~ If any portion of the supplemental pay is to be paid from federal funds, written permission for that supplemental pay must be obtained in advance from the agency that granted or authorized the use of the federal funds.

D. A regularly contracted faculty member may be paid by the university to teach a maximum of twelve credits during ~~any twelve-month academic year beginning with the start of Summer term~~ the annual contract period for supplemental pay. ~~No more than five credits may be so funded in addition to a normal instructional load during each of the Fall and Spring Semesters.~~ See PPM 4-6, B.

Most faculty on campus did not want a policy that impacted the amount of money they could earn through additional teaching. Some Senate members were concerned the legislature may question a policy that allowed a faculty member to teach an additional 12 semester hours per academic year (2 semesters) in addition to the 24 semester hours of a normal teaching load, and place no maximum on what they teach during the Summer.

Online pay was not looked at by this year’s Salary, Benefits, Budget, and Fiscal Planning Committee. The Executive Committee may want to charge next year’s committee with that item.

A friendly amendment was made to include the following language in PPM 3-50, II, B. stated above - If faculty are in compliance with the credit-hour limit on overload teaching, there will be no monetary limit on the proportion of salary which may be earned through additional teaching.

Motion: Moved to approve from the Salary, Benefits, Budget and Fiscal Planning Committee the above changes to PPM 3-50, Supplemental Pay.
Made: Marek Matyjasik
Second: Molly Smith
Outcome: The motion passed with 27 were in favor, 3 opposed, and 5 abstentions.

10. ADMISSIONS, STANDARDS, AND STUDENT AFFAIRS – Erika Daines, Chair

PPM 4-2 CATALOG REQUIREMENTS

I. POLICY

Weber State University students seeking a diploma, certificate or degree must meet the requirements for that diploma, certificate or degree as described in the appropriate catalog as defined below. However, the catalog is not to be considered a binding contract between Weber State University and any student or other institution. Weber State University reserves the right to change its degree requirements, course offerings and policies as conditions require.

II. PROCEDURE

~~A. Entering Students Including First-Time and Transfer Students - Such students are required to graduate under one of the following catalogs:~~

A. Entering Students - Students entering the University, including first-time and transfer students, are required to graduate under one of the following catalogs:

1. The catalog in effect Fall Semester of the academic year when they first ~~enrolled~~ declared their program of study at the time of enrollment, provided they complete graduation requirements within 6 years for ~~bachelor~~ baccalaureate degree candidates, or 3 years for associate degree candidates. ~~and they continue in the program of study selected when they first enrolled.~~

~~2.When students declare or change their programs of study, they are required to graduate under the catalog in effect when they first select their program of study~~.

a. Students who change their programs of study will be held to the catalog current at the date of the change.

b. A change of emphasis, track, or concentration within a major will not initiate a change in catalog year.

c. Students who take longer than six years for a bachelor’s degree, or three years for an associate’s degree, to complete degree requirements in their selected programs of study will be held to the degree requirements of the catalog that was in effect six years or three years, respectively, prior to their date of graduation.

4. 2. Students may elect to graduate under the catalog in effect at the time they file for graduation.

3. Students admitted before Fall 2005 have the additional option of graduating under the catalog in effect when they first enrolled, provided they comply with the time periods in section 1.

3. When students take longer than 6 years for a bachelor's baccalaureate degree or 3 years for an associate's degree respectively to complete their degree requirements in their selected program of study, they then are required to graduate under the catalog that was in effect 6 years or 3 years prior to their date of graduation.

B. Readmitted Students - ~~If a student~~ Students who withdraw ~~withdraws~~ or is are withdrawn for any reason from the ~~university~~ University and is are subsequently readmitted after an absence of two or more semesters, excluding summer, ~~they will be treated as a first-time student as far as their graduation requirements are concerned and~~ will be governed by the catalog in effect as described in Section A above.

C. All students should obtain and keep a copy of the catalog under which they were enrolled, readmitted, or which is in effect when they ~~declare~~ change their program of study.

D. Students who started instruction under the quarter system may elect to use either a quarter or semester catalog for their general education core and institutional requirements and a different catalog for their major/minor/concentration requirements. Students will be allowed to choose a maximum of two catalogs. This is subject to the three- or six-year catalog limitation.

E. D. Exceptions - Specific exceptions to this policy regarding program of study (major, minor or emphasis) requirements may be requested through the waiver process at the ~~departmental level~~ appropriate academic department. Application for any other exceptions to this policy should be made through the Office of the Registrar.

F. E. Graduate Students - The time allowed for program completion by graduate students ~~is specified in the catalog for their specific program.~~ will be determined by the appropriate department.

It was suggested that once a student finishes their gen ed courses, the courses are "banked." Currently, if a student files for an associate degree then the gen ed is recorded as completed. However, if a student does not file for an associate degree, there is no way to mark the gen ed as completed. Members of the Senate were in favor of students being able to "lock in" their gen ed once it is completed.

In Favor of the policy

Some programs have rather significant changes to their requirements on a regular basis.
The new language put the policy in line with what is currently being done.
One catalog for gen ed and one catalog for the major cannot be done. Two catalogs cannot be tied to an individuals transcript.

Against the policy

Limits the options for the students
Too restrictive

Motion: Moved to approve PPM 4-2 Catalog Requirements as stated above (2-year option).
Made: Wade Kotter
Second: Dawn Gatherum
Outcome: The motion passed with 20 in favor, 12 against, and 2 abstentions.

Motion: Moved to charge the Admissions, Standards, and Student Affairs Committee next year revisit this policy (PPM 4-2) and look at the possibility of student being able to lock in their gen ed once it is completed, and look at the 6-year option.
Made: Gary Dohrer
Second: Yu-Jane Yang
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

A copy of the final report is posted online at http://www.weber.edu/GraduationCommittee/committee_spring05report.html

Motion: Moved to approve the final report from the ad hoc University Graduation Requirements Implementation Committee.
Made: Warren Hill
Second: Gene Sessions
Outcome: The report was approved unanimously

Outcomes and Recommendations of the Ad Hoc University Graduation Requirements Implementation Committee

General Education Mission Statement and Goals

Weber State University as a comprehensive institution of higher education provides students with a foundation in liberal arts general education.

General Education

Provides knowledge and experiences in a variety of disciplines outside of and complementary to the student’s major area of study.
Develops essential skills that advance success in academic, professional and personal endeavors.
Encourages the student to become a self reliant interdependent individual for succeeding in a continually changing world.
Connects knowledge, skills and attitudes in ways and levels that are appropriate for a university educated person.
The goals of the general education program are that the ideal Baccalaureate Graduate be able to demonstrate competencies in:

Communication

Educated individuals create, understand, and convey ideas using writing, speaking, listening visual media and information technology.

Working with Information

Reading and gathering appropriate information that will leverage their expertise, resources and experience.
Carefully and thoroughly analyzing information and make well considered, ethical decisions using the information relevant to any issues with which they are confronted.

Basic Knowledge of Core Disciplines

Such as demonstrating an understanding and appreciation of:

The diverse forms of aesthetic and intellectual expression within the arts and humanities.
How the biological and physical sciences describe and explain the natural world.
The social and behavioral sciences, that includes the way people interact and relate to the world.
The logic of mathematical reasoning and the ability to perform mathematical operations.

Social and Cultural Factors

The ability to function as both a leader and a team member whether at work or in society in general.
The ability to create principled, intellectually honest decisions using knowledge, respect, and ethical conduct with regard to diverse people, ideas, and cultures.

Conclusions and Recommendations

This mission statement and these goals are not necessarily a reflection of the current general education program at Weber State University but represent the committee’s agreement on what they should be. This is the culmination of two and one half years work by two ad hoc committees including the recent survey comments on the ideal baccalaureate graduate. One should keep in mind that the survey comments are not all encompassing. The committee members have carefully considered the survey comments but have also attended conferences, researched literature, sought information from consultants and engaged in lengthy discussions to develop this statement. In addition to the mission statement and goals, a web page is available that can be used to continue informing and gathering comments (URL: http://www.weber.edu/GraduationCommittee/default.html).

The committee completes its charge by presenting these findings and recommendations to the Executive Committee on April 14 and the Faculty Senate on April 21, 2005.

The committee supports the faculty in its continued efforts to improve the general education program at WSU with the following recommendations:

This ad hoc committee recommends that the Faculty Senate endorse and support the proposed mission statement and goals and that they distribute it to the campus.
The Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate develop next steps and charges which other committees, either standing or ad hoc, would address.
The Executive Committee set a goal to develop and approve a new model and policy for General Education structure and curriculum review using the mission statement and goals proposed by this committee.
The Executive Committee direct committees charged with assessment of the General Education core and breadth requirements to insure that assessment criteria and methods align with this mission statement and goals.
The committee further recommends that any subsequent committees formed or charged regarding general education be charged to focus on the efficacy and implementation of Scientific Inquiry and Diversity requirements in the university curriculum without delay.

Motion: Moved to approve from the Ad Hoc University Graduation Requirements Implementation Committee the above recommendations.
Made: Gary Dohrer
Second: Bill Clapp
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.
