FACULTY SENATE MINUTES ON MEETING NOVEMBER 8, 2012

1. ROLL CALL

2. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES

Motion: Moved to approve the minutes from the October 18, 2012 meeting.
Made: Mike Hernandez
Second: Stephen Francis
Outcome: The minutes were approved.

GUESTS - Brian Stecklein, Vern Morgan, Jim Wilson

3. Distribution of Hours from Continuing Education – Brian Stecklein, Associate Dean of Continuing Education

Brian Stecklein presented information about how CE works with all the colleges on campus and how it distributes their budget for evening, online, off campus and Davis Campus classes. The University is facing challenges to keeping up with the demand of classes and working within the budget given to Continuing Ed. Faculty concerns were the canceling of classes may hurt their program. CE reviews the data each year to be sure funding is allocated throughout the university to meet the needs of each program.

4. Mobile Devices - Vern Morgan, IT Policy & Planning Administrator

Mobile Device Policy and Mobile Devices Standards and Guidelines
The IT Division is proposing that this policy go into the University PPM. Most employees own a mobile device and bring it to campus. Phones and tablets get lost or stolen. This causes major security issues if the device contains sensitive data. Unlike desktops and laptops which are easy to put security measures in place, personal mobile devices are not easy to secure the data they contain. The Mobile Device Policy and Mobile Devices Standards and Guidelines contains ways to reduce the risk of important data that may be on a personal mobile device. WSU must rely on the user to protect and keep the data on the device secure. The intent is not to restrict or take away academic freedom. It is to protect the university from a loss of data. Keep the latest operating system on your device. Use a password to access your information. Turn on encryption and a remote wipe capability. Have a backup system in place should a loss take place.

Discussion:
How would this be enforced? It will be up to each individual to follow the precautions outlined in the Mobile Devices Standards and Guidelines to protect sensitive data. The liability falls on the user if a breach in data occurs. If you have taken all the precautions to protect your device from loss of data, then you have followed the Mobile Device Policy.

What about second party breaches like Canvas? If they experience a breach in their security, is the user liable? This falls under another policy PPM 10-1 Information Security Policy and PPM 10-2 Acceptable Use Policy for Computing and Network Resources. They are responsible for keeping our information secure.

Please contact Vern Morgan vernmorgan@weber.edu if you have any questions or concerns on this information.

5.  The College of Arts and Humanities has elected Dr. Anne Bialowas, Communications Department, to serve on the Faculty Senate to replace Colleen Packer who will begin a sabbatical in the Spring of 2013.

Action Items

6. CRAO - Tim Herzog, Chair
Apportionment Data - A copy of this data can be viewed at:
Each year the CRAO adds up all the faculty in all the college to get the number of seats on the Faculty Senate. What we would like from the faculty is some feedback to make clearer guidelines in what defines a faculty member. What is your definition of a faculty with Administrative time, Release time, Contract professors, and Adjuncts professors. How to give Continuing Education faculty (ESL) representation. Send feedback or questions to Tim Herzog or a member of the committee from your college.
