 2.  Approval of the minutes from the 5 December 2013 Faculty Senate Meeting.

MOTION   Motion to approve the minutes from the 7 November 2013 Faculty Senate Meeting by
SECOND
OUTCOME  Unanimous         

 The following item was not on the Agenda.

 Code Purple – Dane LeBlanc, WSU Chief of Police

The Chief informed the Faculty Senate on the campaign to inform faculty, staff and Students on the importance of signing up for the Code Purple information system.  This system communicates information to the campus citizens on a weather alert or an emergency situation.  The police have been orienting students on the definitions of “Lockdown” (Preventing an intruder from entering your area) and “Shelter in Place” (Avoid dangerous conditions outside the building).    A drill will be held once a year so that faculty and students will know what to do in either situation.  No date has been set yet and will be announced  This will only effect daytime schedules at this time.  The Lockdown Exercise will only last 3-5 minutes.  All clear would be sent to end the exercise.  How would I barricade a door?  Get to a safe place where you could block the doors.  Would the exercise be during class time?  Yes, so that students can be involved in the exercise.  Freshman signup has dropped off.  We do go to Orientation to explain what it’s about.  What about night classes?  We would consider that.   Go to www.weber.edu/codepurple to sign up.

DISCUSSION – NTM Program and Course Proposals.

Business and Economics were concerned that they were not informed about these changes.  A discussion needs to take place concerning the programs and courses that are changing that include Marketing in the name.  

Making Finance 1010 a required course instead of an elective.  The class may not be offered on a regular basis.  

Program for Network Security Technology Certificate

Concerns with Security in the name of this certificate.  Business has several courses on Information Security. How to distinguish between them.  How would this all fall out to students about what could happen there.  Discussions between departments need to take place.  Was no overlap.   

Pass the proposal pending that the departments with concerns meet and discuss the concerns.  If parties are able to agree with the Program and Course proposals then Letters of Support will be submitted to the Faculty Senate and that information will approve rest NTM package.  If the parties cannot come to an agreement, then the proposals will be sent back to the department for further review.

DISCUSSION

Review and update PPM’s in Section 6.    The PPM was reviewed and language was clarified to meet the way that students are admitted into WSU.  There were also clarifications to remove the references so that this policy doesn’t need to be revised continually.  For example the WSU Math & English Placement Standards Document.   How do we know what changes with Admissions Policy so that we know how to advise our student’s.

Discussion centered on the concerns the faculty have on the Library remodel.

A video clip was shown on what compact shelving looks like.  It would create more space for books.  This can only be done on the ground level.  Due to the weight of the shelving it cannot be utilized on the second or third floors.  It will be open to patrons of the library.  It is better if you know what book you want to retrieve.  Not so convenient for browsing books on the shelf. 

 

Testing Center is a key issue due to the amount of space a center would occupy.  The more stations the better efficiency.  There is  a larger amount of paper and pencil tests being done.  Many feel the library is not the right place for a testing center.  It would remove a large area of floor space that could be used for books.  If the testing center is not placed in the library, that part of the funding would go elsewhere.

 

Key issues seem to be the space involved in compact shelving and reducing the collection on the library shelves.  Purging the collection is not new to the library.  It has to be done in order to make room for new books. 

 

Students were surveyed on the library remodel.  Students would like to be more involved in the discussions and give their concerns.

 

Library collection has grown in the past 6 years.  eBooks have increased in use at the library.

 

Recommendation to have Library faculty meet with their colleges to find out what concerns the faculty have and take this information to Executive Committee.  The discussions need to be done in a timely fashion so that any recommendations can be given to Administration.

 

Move that the Library Subject Specialists solicit their respective college faculty and have discussions about the concerns from faculty on the library remodel addressed om the petition and include Student Senators to share the concerns the students have on the remodel.  The Library Subject Specialists will give recommendations of their findings to the Executive Committee at a future meeting(date to be determined) by Laura Anderson.
