MINUTES
A motion was made by John Sohl and seconded by Judy Elsley to approve the minutes of October 9, 1997 and October 16, 1997. Minor changes were made. The minutes were approved with the changes.MATH PROFICIENCY
Change in numbering. Math 105 will now be Math 1010. The debate has been whether to have Math 105 be numbered 0990 or numbered 1010. The CAO's agreed to have this course numbered 1010. This issue is being sent to the Curriculum and General Education Committee, Bob Higginson - Chair, for its action.Students will need to pass Math 1010 with a C or higher. The section of the catalog that deals with quantitative literacy states that a grade of 2.0 or higher is needed. Motion by Judith Mitchell that this change be treated as nonsubstantive. John Sohl seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous.
It was felt that the wording, " math proficiency," is misleading and confusing. Julie Arbuckle will take this issue to the Admissions, Standards, and Student Affairs Committee, John Thaeler - Chair. Students need to understand what constitutes "math proficiency" and "math competency."
PPM 4-2
In the Semester Conversion Newsletter of July 1, 1997, it states, . . . Students will be allowed to choose a maximum of two catalogs. . . . PPM 4-2 reads, . . .Students who started instruction under the quarter system may elect to use either a quarter or semester catalog for their general education requirements and a different catalog for their major/minor/concentration requirement. As a clarification an additional sentence will be added to read, Students will be allowed to choose a maximum of two catalogs. Judith Mitchell suggested this go to the Senate as an information item on language clarification.BREADTH GEN ED
There was a discussion of breadth general education requirements not allowing more than one course from one academic program/discipline abbreviation (e.g. MUSIC, GEOGR, CHEM). This is difficult to enforce. The consensus of the committee was to leave the information as stated.ROLLOVER
The basic rollover issue has been given to the Salary Committee. Provost Eisler suggested not allowing rollover during Summer 1998. There is a time disparity from 7 weeks during Summer quarter and 15 weeks during a semester. The Executive Committee was in agreement with the Provost. Teachers will be paid $600.00 per credit hour for teaching Summer quarter.SUMMER SCHEDULE
The Provost would like to see uniform scheduling of Summer quarter classes with classes beginning at 7:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 noon. He recommended that classes not be held on Fridays unless for a 5 hour class.TRAVEL MONEY
Dr. Seshachari will make available to Executive Committee members travel money. The money is in support of travel to one conference and will cover the cost up to $900. The conference should deal with topics along the lines of leadership issues, faculty evaluation, rolls and management, curriculum models, teaching strategies, etc.FACULTY BOARD OF REVIEW
Judith Mitchell moved to accept the resignation of Diane Baughman from the Faculty Board of Review. John Sohl seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous.Dolly Samson will serve as Chair of the Faculty Board of Review in the matter of Mark Dyreson's tenure appeal. Doug Richards will serve as counsel. Devon Deppe, who is currently an alternate, will replace Diane Baughman, and Jan Slabaugh, who is also an alternate will replace Frank Guliuzza.
An eighth member is needed to sit as an alternate in case a current member of the board becomes unavailable. Faculty Senate Constitution and Bylaws Article VI, section 7 states, "Whenever a member of the Faculty Board of Review is disqualified by the terms of sections 5 or 6 above or is no longer a member of the teaching faculty, the Executive Committee shall appoint one of the elected alternate members to fill the vacancy for the particular case pending before the Board. If no alternate members remain to fill the vacancy, the Executive Committee shall appoint a member to fill the vacancy for the particular case pending before the Board."
