Myron Davis, Jim Jacobs, Dan Litchford, and Chloe Merrill were elected to two-year terms on the Faculty Board of Review. Wynn Harrison and Ron Peterson were elected to serve as alternates to the committee for the 2002-03 academic year.

8. CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW, APPORTIONMENT AND ORGANIZATION – Gene Sessions

As a result of the general faculty election held, and in compliance with the Faculty Senate Constitution, the results for the revisions to the Faculty Senate Constitution and Bylaws are: 253 ballots were received, 241 approved the changes, 10 did not approve the changes, and 2 were discarded. Election tellers were Tamara Aird Chase, Frank Guliuzza, and Sandra Powell. This information will now go to Presidents Council and the Board of Trustees, after which the changes to PPM 1-13 will be posted on the web. Until it is updated in Weber State’s Policy and Procedures, it can be viewed at http://weber.edu/facultysenate/PPM1_13RevApr02.htm

9. RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH COMMITTEE – Gene Sessions

Because of the Olympic break the Research, Scholarship and Professional Growth Committee will not finish reviewing proposals and awarding funds until May 8. Gene Sessions suggested that a copy of the RSPG Committee report be included with the minutes from this meeting to be accepted and approved at the September 2002 Faculty Senate meeting.

Motion: Moved to include the RSPG report on funding of proposals with the minutes from this meeting for approval at the September 2002 meeting.
Made: Jim Macdonald
Second: Warren Hill
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

10. APPOINTMENT, PROMOTION, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, AND TENURE COMMITTEE – John Sohl, Chair

The Dumke College of Health Professions has submitted a revised tenure document. The document can be viewed at: http://weber.edu/facultysenate/HPTenureDoc.htm

Concerns of the APAFT Committee included: Lines 10 and 11 of the document state "Each department has a written set of standards which is congruent with the college and University documents and provides specific departmental criteria and methods for measuring performance with respect to the criteria." Departmental standards tied to accreditation standards.

Line 24 - "~~hold the rank of instructor-specialist, instructor or higher~~;" It was suggested as a friendly amendment that the line read: "hold the rank of instructor-specialist, assistant professor, associate professor, or full professor;"

Line 43-46 - "When candidates in the second year of progress toward tenure are either to be evaluated in that year for promotion or have requested an additional review, the director/chair may choose to use the above mentioned evaluation in place of the second year assessment of progress toward tenure." This could bring about an uncomfortable situation where you were forced to give someone promotion because they met the promotion standard, but the next year deny tenure, because they did not meet the tenure standards.

Line 77 - ". . . a faculty member must teach a minimum of 12 credit hours or its equivalent. . . This is consistent with the other colleges.

Line 78 - Professional Ethics. It seemed that there were enough individual departmental ethics standards that addressing it this way in the tenure document was sufficient.

Motion: Moved to accept the Dumke College of Health Professions tenure document with the suggestion to line 24 as stated above.
Made: Marie Kotter
Second: Rick Sline
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

11. ADMISSIONS, STANDARDS, AND STUDENT AFFAIRS – Susan McKay, Chair

Proposed Registration Policy for Student Athletes

"In response to those needs, a proposal was generated in the Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) and brought before the Student Welfare Sub-Committee of Athletic Board, an Administrative Standing Committee. The student proposal requested that some form of priority registration be instituted so that student-athletes could satisfy NCAA eligibility requirements, meet their scholarship commitments for their teams, and succeed in their academic programs. The proposal was researched and discussed over several months in Athletic Board and then brought forward to the ASSA committee, where it was closely examined and further refined. The resulting proposal has the strong support of the members of ASSA."
PPM 6-3: Registration POLICY:

A. The Weber State University registration schedule is based on cumulative credit hour totals
    1. First registration access: Seniors and Graduate students (90+ ~~135 +~~ credit hours)
    2. Second registration access: Juniors (60 - 89 ~~90 - 134~~ credit hours)
    3. Third registration access- Sophomores (30 - 59 ~~45 - 89~~ credit hours
    4. Fourth registration access: Freshmen (1 - 29 ~~1 - 44~~ credit hours)
    5. Fifth registration access: Open registration

B. Physically challenged students who demonstrate physical-access limitations will be allowed to register with seniors and graduate students.

C. Early College students will be allowed to register with seniors and graduate students with the following restrictions:
1. Early College registration will be limited to no more than 250 students per ~~quarter~~ semester.
2. No more than five Early College students will be allowed to register for the same course section.

D. Veterans of the United States armed forces will be allowed to register with seniors and graduate students.

E. Continuing freshman, sophomore, and junior student athletes, defined as those participating in varsity NCAA athletics, will be allowed to register with seniors and graduate students.

This is a student generated proposal brought to the Athletic Board in response to the 250 or so athletes at Weber State. Athletes are under stringent requirements from the NCAA to show "satisfactory progress" in their education. Athletes are designing class schedules around team practice times. Currently the NCAA does not allow student athletes to take online classes unless that is the only way the course is offered. The online course would count as credit toward graduation but not toward "satisfactory progress."

Call for the Question: Rick Sline
Outcome: The motion was unanimous to cut off debate.

Motion: Moved to accept the above revisions to the registration policy.
Made: Jenny Turley
Second: Michelle Heward
Outcome: The motion passed with 1 opposed and 4 abstentions.

Proposed time limit on grade change requests by students -

"The Registrar’s Office has an increasing number of petitions from students for changes of grades such as UW and W. Many of these requests are legitimate, with the grades resulting from registration mix-ups, misunderstanding by beginning students that they were not automatically dropped from classes which they did not attend nor pay for, and other circumstances. The petition policy in place is a good one and allows the Registrar’s Office and its committees to deal equitably with those student requests."

PPM 4-19: Grading Policies and Academic Renewal
B. Reporting and Changing of Grades

Final grade forms shall be made available to instructors via the appropriate dean’s office prior to the close of each term. Grades are to be recorded on the appropriate forms and submitted to the Registrar’s Office within three working days following the last examination of each term.

Changing grades which have already been assigned and recorded is the sole responsibility and prerogative of the faculty member who taught the particular class and student. Grade changes submitted by others, such as department secretaries, dean’s secretaries or work study employees will not be accepted by the Registrar.
a. Grade change forms are to be signed by the faculty member and stamped and initialed by the departmental secretary or submitted electronically.
b. In the event that a faculty member is deceased, no longer employed at Weber State University or not available by a reasonable means, grade changes will be accepted only from the appropriate department chair.
b. The Registrar’s Office will send C copies of all grade changes ~~are sent~~ to the faculty member who initiated the change and to the department chair ~~by the Registrar’s Office~~.

Student petitions through the Registrar’s Office for changes to grades, such as UW to W or CL, must be submitted within three years of the affected term(s) or prior to a student’s graduation from the University, whichever comes first.

Motion: Moved to accept the proposed time limit on grade change requests by students as stated above.
Made: Gary Dohrer
Second: Dawn Gatherum
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

12. AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR ONLINE INSTRUCTION AND DISTANCE LEARNING – Cheryl Hansen, Chair

They were given six charges, one of which was to revisit the Guidelines. The committee felt that the Guidelines still fit the needs of WSU Online. They are rewriting the vision statement and copies of that statement will be given the Faculty Senate Fall Semester. They have established an evaluation form for all WSU Online courses. The evaluation form will be piloted this summer. The information will come to the committee, not be used for promotion, and will not go to chairs and deans. The purpose is to see if the committee was able to design a process "for establishing, evaluating and governing all online courses." The committee will meet at the end of the summer to study and tabulate their findings.

The ad hoc committee will continue to function during the 2002-03 academic years to address determine how they could study issues that may be unique to distance learning, evaluate and assess current online course, and new online courses. Weber State is looking at using an outside vendor for online enrollment and management, and is preparing an RFP and will accept bids from outside vendors. Michael Vaughan is chairing the committee preparing the RFP for vendors to support all services for web enhanced classes. The committee will be looking at vendors to assist in the management and support of courses that are currently part of WSU Online, to integrate existing classes with future classes, and provide capabilities that will foster the continued growth of technology supported learning at WSU. It is important to get faculty input on the RFP. Faculty Senate members were asked to notify all colleagues that are teaching online to send feedback to Michael Vaughan.

Motion: To accept the report of the ad hoc Committee for Online Instruction and Distance Learning.
Made: Bill Clapp
Second: Bruce Christensen
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

13. CURRICULUM & GENERAL EDUCATION COMMITTEE – Jim Wilson, Chair

College of Applied Science & Technology and the Dumke College of Health Professions program proposal for the Bachelor of Applied Technology Degree.

"The BAT degree is designed for students who have received an Associate of Applied Technology degree from the Utah College of Applied Technology. Students who have successfully completed the AAT degree will be admitted as third-year students and will be able to complete the BAT degree with two years of full-time study. The BAT will provide students with advanced study in courses related to their technical discipline as well as supervisory, teamwork, and communication skills. Building upon the AAT, the BAT will provide for career enhancement, professional opportunities, and supervisory-level skill development. This degree is limited to those technical or applied technology programs whose content matches or can be articulated into programs in the College of Applied Science and Technology and the Dumke College of Health Professions at Weber State University."

The Executive Committee exercised the rare constitutional privilege to recommend to the Faculty Senate a course of action. That recommendation is that the Senate pass the Bachelor of Applied Technology Program contingent upon its approval by the other five college curriculum committees. Some of the Executive Committee members felt strongly that a bachelor degree program affects every college. If the proposal is not passed by any of the college curriculum committees, it would come back to the Faculty Senate.

The proposal was passed by the Curriculum & General Education Committee by a vote of eight to four. Those opposed to passing the proposal felt they would like to see specific courses for the programs that Weber State is articulating with the ATC’s. The way the program is presented in the proposal requires a departmental contract with the student that would determine the student’s courses.

Concerns - Would the Faculty Senate be establishing a president of colleges approving programs that are not part of their college? Currently the only two colleges affected by this proposal are the Dumke College of Health Professions and the College of Applied Science & Technology. The procedure was questioned where the Curriculum & General Education Committee passed the proposal before the Dumke College of Health Professions and the College of Applied Science & Technology curriculum committees reviewed and approved the proposal. It gives departments and faculty a lot of discretion and flexibility.

Should the proposal go back to the college curriculum committees? This is coming forth as a proposal from two colleges. If the other colleges at some point wanted to do some option of the BAT, the proposal would have to come forward through their college curriculum committee and then to the Curriculum & General Education Committee, and then the Faculty Senate.

Call for the Question: Ann Ellis
Outcome: The voting was unanimous to cut off debate.

Motion: Moved to accept the recommendation of the Executive Committee to approve the Bachelor of Applied Technology Program proposal contingent upon its approval of the other five college curriculum committees ( Arts & Humanities, Business & Economics, Education, Science, and Social & Behavioral Sciences).
Made: Jeff Eaton
Second: Marek Matyjasik
Outcome: Failed. The proposal will not be sent to college curriculum committees.

Requirements for general education courses would remain the same as the requirement for the B.S. and B.A. degrees. The BAT degree is not equivalent to the B.S. or B.A. and some wondered if the BAT degree would diminish the value the B.S. or B.A. degrees. Concern was expressed that all Department Chairs were not contacted regarding the use of their courses in the BAT program.

Many felt it was important to act now in establishing the Bachelor of Applied Technology degree so that we could guide the process rather than having it mandated to us. The people that come with AAT degrees , come with specific AAT degrees in health professions or computers. The Weber State BAT proposal design is similar to the Arizona State East program. Some members of the Senate had concerns about the review process for the proposal, particularly when courses from across the campus are incorporated in the BAT degree. Are these the best courses? Why were they selected? Where faculty and department chairs contacted?

What the committee tried to avoid with this proposal is doing a direct course, by course articulation between the lower division courses in the College of Health Professions and the College of Applied Science & Technology and UCAT. Once you have developed that course by course articulation you have set up a mechanism to transfer their curriculum from UCAT. This proposal assesses the degree and then gives the department the ability to build upon where that students is in program.

In the BAT electives it states: ". . . Students may not take more than 3 courses from the School of Business and Economics unless they have completed the Business ~~Core~~ Foundations curriculum)."

The ATC’s are currently proposing three degrees under UCAT: medical assisting, computer technology, and computer design. The first group of AAT degree students will occur rather quickly, because current programs are underway. There is some value to Weber State being perceived as working actively with UCAT.

Call for the Question: Jim Macdonald
Outcome: The voting was unanimous to cut off debate.

Motion: Moved to approve the Bachelor of Applied Technology Degree as proposed.
Made: Warren Hill
Second: Gary Dohrer
Outcome: The motion passed with 23 in favor, 9 opposed, and 2 abstentions.
