\par Other Than Assignment of Grades
\par }\pard \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par 
\par I.  Introduction
\par 
\par The Univers
ity of Alaska is committed to the ideal of academic freedom and so recognizes that academic decisions (i.e., non-admission to or dismissal from any UAF program) are a faculty responsibility. Therefore, the University administration shall not unduly influe
nce or affect the review of academic decisions that are a faculty responsibility.
\par 
\par The following procedures are designed to provide a means for students to seek review of academic decisions alleged to be arbitrary and capricious. Before taking formal action
, a student must attempt to resolve the issue informally. A student who files a written request for review under the following procedures shall be expected to abide by the final disposition of the review, as provided below, and may not seek further review
 of the matter under any other procedure within the university.
\par 
\par 
\par II.  Definitions
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li360\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 A.  As used in the schedule for review of academic decisions, a class day is any day of scheduled instruction, excluding Saturday and Sunday, included on the academic calend
ar in effect at the time of a review. Final examination periods are counted as class days.
\par 
\par B.  "Department Chair" for the purposes of this policy denotes the administrative head of the academic unit offering the course (e.g., head, chair or coordinator of
 an academic department, or division coordinator or program chair if the faculty member is in the College of Rural Alaska).
\par 
\par C.  The "dean/director" is the administrative head of the college or school offering the course or program from which the academic 
decision or action arises. For students at extended campuses the director of the campus may substitute for the dean/director of the unit offering the course or program.
\par 
\par D.  The next regular semester is the fall or spring semester following that in which t
he disputed academic decision was made.  For example, it would be the fall semester for a final grade issued for a course completed during the previous spring semester or summer session.  The spring semester is the next regular semester for an academic de
cision made during the previous fall semester.
\par }\pard \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par 
\par III.  Procedures
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li360\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 A.  A student wishing to appeal an academic decision other than a grade assignment must first request an informal review of the decision.
\par }\pard \li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 1.  Notification must be received by the Provost within 15 days from the first day of instruction of the semester in which the decision takes effect.
\par 
\par 2.  There may be extenuating circumstances when the deadlines cannot be met due to illness, mail disruption, or other situations over which the student may 
have no control. In such a case, upon request from the student, the Provost, after review of supporting documentation provided by the student, may adjust the deadlines accordingly. An extension of the deadline will be limited to one semester but every eff
ort should be made to complete the appeal process within the current semester.
\par 
\par 3.  The Provost will request the appropriate department chair to conduct an informal review of the decision. The Department chair will determine whether the original decision sh
ould be overturned or changed in any way. The department chair will submit his/her recommendation to the provost through the dean/director within 10 days. In the event that the department chair is directly involved, the provost can ask the dean/director t
o conduct an informal review and submit his/her recommendations directly to him.
\par 
\par 4. The Provost will consult with the student on the department chair's recommendation. If the student does not find that recommendation acceptable, he/she may request the Provost to conduct a formal review.
\par }\pard \li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 B.  The formal review will be conducted as follows.
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 1.  This formal review is initiated by the student through a signed, written request to the Provost.
\par }\pard \li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li1080\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 a.  The student's request for formal review may be submitted using university forms specifically designed for this purpose and available from the Office of the Provost.
\par 
\par b.  By submitting a request for a review, the student acknowledges that no additional mechanisms exist within the university for the formal review of the 
decision, and that the university's administration including the college dean/director can not influence or affect the outcome of the formal review.
\par 
\par c.  The request for a formal review must be received no later than 10 days after the student has learned the outcome of the informal review (IIIA4).
\par 
\par d.  The request must detail the basis for the allegation that the decision was made on a basis other than sound professional judgment based upon standard academic policies, procedures and practices.
\par }\pard \fi-720\li1440\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 2.  The Provost will appoint a 5 member review committee composed of the following:
\par }\pard \li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li1080\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 a.  One }{\b\cf1 NON-VOTING}{\cf1  tenure-track faculty member from the academic unit in which the decision was made. }{\b\cf1 THIS INDIVIDUAL SHALL SERVE IN AN ADVISORY ROLE}{\cf1 . }{\b\cf1

\par }\pard \qc\widctlpar\adjustright {CENSURE OF ADMINISTRATORS
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par 
\par 1.      The review (in the broadest sense) o
f the performance of administrators is an important complementary activity to the review of faculty.  Both groups contribute to the advancement of the University when they carry out their respective responsibilities effectively, and either can seriously i
nterfere with the proper functioning of the University as a whole when they perform ineffectively.
\par 
\par 2.      The various peer reviews of faculty, including the mentoring of untenured faculty, promotion, and tenure review, and post-tenure review as well as co
ntinuing, in-depth contact with students equip UAF faculty with a unique and comprehensive understanding of the general health of the University and its actual progress in meeting its stated goals.
\par 
\par 3.      In a system of shared governance, the administrative function includes a critical catalytic role which, when performed well, results in the accomplishments of academic units surpassing the sum of individual faculty effort.
\par 
\par 4.      UAF faculty are in a unique position to offer insights on the effectivene
ss of academic administrators of particular and campus-wide programs at UAF. They can readily see whether their efforts to teach, conduct research, and provide professional services are enhanced, not affected, or compromised by academic administrators.

\par 
\par 5.      Faculty input into periodic reviews of academic administrators is provided for, although the system for accomplishing reviews is relatively new and lacking in a record of experience upon which to make judgments.
\par 
\par 6.      As responsible members of the
 academic community, UAF faculty have an inherent responsibility, when circumstances indicate that academic programs and the health of the University are being impacted negatively by the behavior and decisions of State-wide administrators and their immedi
ate staffs, the UAF chancellor and provost and their immediate staffs, and deans and directors and their immediate staffs to initiate the passage of a vote of no-confidence or censure.
\par 
\par 7.      When, in the considered opinion of the majority of the Faculty 
Senate, an administrative decision or series of decisions are seriously harmful to the health and future of the University, the Senate may pass a vote of no-confidence or censure of the administrator or administrators making and carrying out such harmful 
decisions.  Such a petition to the Senate should include precise delineation and documentation of the problem and the attempts undertaken to mediate and resolve the problem before asking the Senate to pass a motion of censure.
\par 
\par 8.      After the submission 
of a petition to the Senate, the Senate should appoint an Ad hoc committee to investigate the allegations and make recommendations for a final attempt for resolving the situation before turning the matter over to the full Faculty Senate for discussion and
 passage of censure.

\par \tab A.\tab Research concerns addressed by this motion.
\par }\pard \fi-720\li2160\ri540\widctlpar\adjustright {1.\tab Sponsored research of an applied nature encompasses categories that may require some restriction on publication and/or r

of definitions. The purpose of this motion is to address university management of classified and proprietary research.
\par 2.\tab Classified and proprietary research funding may arise by response to an announcement of opportunity or by negotiation with sponsors.
\par 3.\tab For those that arise by negotiation there are often two phases, the first in which the idea for research is explored with potential partners and the second in which an application is filed with the sponsors.
\par 4.\tab Procedures proposed for adoption through this motion need to provide for university approval and permit expeditious processing of the proposal.

\par }\pard \fi-720\li2160\ri540\widctlpar\adjustright {1.\tab The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, implementing Regents\rquote  Policy P10.07.01 on the "Role of Research Scholarship and Creative Activity", "
will foster an environment supportive of conducting research, scholarship, and creative activity and broadly disseminating its results in the trad

\par 2.\tab The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, implementing Regents\rquote  Policy P10.07.02 on Sponsored Projects Submittal and Acceptance\rdblquote , recognizes that "
sponsors may operate within a proprietary or classified environment while universities function on the principle of free inquiry and open expression", and accordingly, requires that any collaborative work with such sponsors "protect the basic tenets
 of universities".
\par 3.\tab An advisory committee of faculty should provide a list of norms that protect the basic tenets of universities for the approval by the Faculty Senate and subsequent consideration by the Chancellor.
\par 4.\tab The Office of Sponsored Programs should advise the Chancellor on the limits of security provisions to support classified or proprietary work.

\par }{\i (1) ENVE course applications and program change
\par }{Silke Schiewer and Bob Perkins provid
ed background information on three new courses in Environmental Engineering and an associated program change, all of which are part of an effort to increase enrollment in this sector and consolidate the program with the arrival of 3 new faculty members. T
he course requests and program change were approved unanimously.
\par 
\par }{\i (2) Atmospheric Science, program changes
\par }{Brenton Watkins summarized concerns within the Physics Dep't. regarding unstacking of ATM courses that are part of the undergraduate Applied Physics m
ajor in Atmospheric Science.  While the high fraction of stacked courses within the required course load for ATM was a concern to the committee (as outlined in previous meeting reports), it was agreed that this issue requires more detailed attention throu
g
hout campus and that in the interest of students enrolled in the programs affected, the committee would be prepared to approve the requested changes with only one ATM/CHEM course unstacked.  However, the different expectations and requirements for the 400
/
600 levels need to be clearly defined (with an eventual reflection in the catalog) in all cases, to be evaluated by the next meeting.  Committee members and Dept's. affected by the changes are now positively inclined towards the program revisions and the 
c
ommittee will come to a decision at the next meeting.  Also, if approved, a memo would be submitted to the Provost/Dean concerning the issue of stacked courses in the program, requesting that progress on the issue be considered in the next program evaluat
ion.
\par 
\par }{\i (3) Stacking of courses
\par }{Based on the discussions and cases considered this semester, the GAAC sees the need for a more rigorous tracking and evaluation of stacked courses.  On the one hand, an institution the size of UAF may always have to rely on cou
rse stacking as the only feasible means of balancing academic and resource constraints.  Furthermore, undergraduate students can substantially benefit from graduate course attendance.  On the other hand, extensive stacking of course may compromise the aca
d
emic standard of graduate courses and needs to be scrutinized closely at the time of program modification and later evaluation.  To bring this issue to the attention of faculty, a discussion item (limits on number of stacked courses in program, more detai
led review criteria, substantiation of cross-fertilization between 400 and 600 level portion etc.) will be prepared for the next faculty senate meeting.  
\par The committee agreed that for outstanding senior undergraduate students the possibility of enrolling i
n 600 level classes (with proper identification in transcripts) can be highly beneficial but is currently discouraged by much higher fees of graduate vs. undergraduate courses.  The Dean of the Graduate School had offered relief on this issue and the comm

\par The committee also discussed the issue of graduate students reducing their workload through attendance of the undergraduate segment of stacked courses, which appears to be a problem (triggered by both financial and academic mo
tives) in some programs and may have to be revisited in the future.

\par }{- The idea for nominations of Graduate Student Senators from within the Graduate Student Body and subsequent appointment as (non-voting) Graduate Student Senators was met with approval.
\par - The GAAC had been asked by the Provost to consider the pros and cons of a move of the G
raduate School Office from Signers' Hall to Bunnell.  The committee mostly felt that providing the Graduate School with more adequate quarters in a prime location would serve well in continuing recognition of the vital importance of graduate students with
in the fabric of UAF.  It was suggested to underscore this importance by allocating space for a Graduate Student Senators' or Graduate Student Organization Office on the premises.

\par 
\par }\pard \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright {\i Summary of major items:
\par }{\tab In this year's GAAC business a number of recurring themes could be identified. 
\par 
\par }{\i (1) Incomplete research into university-wide impacts and specific resource requirements associated with course or program changes and introduction of new programs
\par }{\tab While the committee realizes that taking the initiative, pursuing the preparatory research and paperwork and then actually making the commitmen
t of developing a new course, or program or implementing changes are all major and highly laudatory actions, duplication of efforts or lack of coordination between different programs is something that needs to be considered seriously.  From an academic pe
r
spective, one would assume that competition for student credit hours may actually help improve offerings and may aid in weeding out non-competitive courses in the long run (although even graduate students voting with their feet may not always result in th
e
 offering of the highest quality winning out, and the GAAC takes both these aspects into consideration).  Nevertheless, it's a worthwhile question to ask whether UAF as well as the entire UA system can actually afford this approach considering limitations
 
in resources and potential clients.  The proliferation of distance/on-line delivered courses may actually compound this problem (see below), while at the same time giving UAF (and UA) an edge over other universities.  Part of this edge, though, is the ele
m
ent of synergy that we can bring into our course offerings and the GAAC strongly encourages proponents for new courses and programs to take this into consideration and capitalizing on it.  To help with that, the committee has drafted a motion (passed by t
he Faculty Senate) in collaboration with the Curricular Affairs Committee to amend the Format 1 and 2 forms with a question asking for specific positive or negative impacts on other programs or departments.
\par \tab While this observation is trivial as such, it is 
nevertheless noteworthy that in many cases, a lack of time on the part of the faculty involved may have been underlying many of these incomplete or unsatisfactory applications.  One example, for instance, involved an overall meritorious and enterprising i
n
troduction of a bundle of new courses that could well serve the community which precipitated discussions at two GAAC meetings and correspondence that - if added up - would have by far surpassed the amount of person hours invested by the program proponents
 and others impacted - had they ever gotten together and actually talked and negotiated about the proposals in the first place. 
\par \tab Another issue that may have similar causes, is the fact that the GAAC routinely (i.e. in all cases it addressed this year and i
n a majority last year) finds new program proposals submitted without adequate resources, requiring additional memos going back and forth to ensure a viable program.   The GAAC overwhelmingly felt that ensurance of program viability is a key component of 
p
rogram evaluation, and in collaboration with the Curricular Affairs Committee and others has drafted a motion (passed by Faculty Senate) implementing a Resource Commitment Form (RCF) to be signed by proponents and the respective Dean in order to ensure fu
ll awareness and a corresponding record.
\par 
\par }{\i (2) Consideration of issues raised at course/program introduction during later evaluations
\par }{\tab Considering the amount of time and effort invested by the Committee into evaluation and positive critique of proposals, one
 wonders to what an extent the concerns and suggestions raised at the outset of new implementations are being revisited and followed-up on during later program evaluations.  Here it might be worthwhile to specifically provide a list of potential concerns 
to later evaluators from the GAAC (which is currently part of the GAAC meeting reports but might be more accessible in a different form).
\par  
\par }{\i (3) Distance (in particular on-line) delivery of courses
\par }{\tab Clearly, on-line delivery of courses is an ever growing com
ponent of UAF's mission and recent developments, such as the on-line program in Justice Administration have pointed out interesting possibilities and inherent limitations.  The system-wide committee under Mike Sfraga is quite active in regards to followin
g
 these developments and the GAAC should be in one way or another linked into these activities.  However, one of the strengths of on-line delivery is its highly flexible character and an informal survey by the committee established that there is much more 
g
oing on with regards to on-line delivery than caught by, e.g., the Registrar's Office upon which the system-wide implementation of a compilation of on-line curricula is based.  Considering the rapid development in this area, the GAAC sees the need for imp
l
ementing mechanisms of quality control, in particular to ensure a smooth transition from classroom to on-line delivery of courses, which currently does not require submission of a formal request.  Similarly, the current make-up of student evaluation forms
 and other means of quality control does not appear to take into account the specific strengths and weaknesses of on-line delivery.  This clearly is an issue to follow up on.
\par \tab Along the same lines, the question of what exactly constitutes the graduate exper
ience for different programs and disciplines, was raised by several commentators during the course of this discussion.  While the GAAC drafted a motion (that was passed by the Faculty Senate) that harmonized Master's and Ph.D. residency requirements, remo
v
ing a 9 credit on-campus requirement for the former, ultimately it is the Departments and Programs that have control over how they would like to see graduate students contribute to and benefit from the vast potential inherent in a more traditional (face-t
o-face) campus.  Considering that graduate students are one of the pillars of a research university and university research in general, this is an important issue that needs to be discussed and followed up on. 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright {\i (4) Atmospheric Physics and Atmospheric Sciences
\par }{\tab 
The GAAC found itself as something of a judge of the peace in seeing the well established and strong Atmospheric Science components of the Physics graduate program as well as the budding Atmospheric Sciences program (both active and promising) on thei
r respective, though hopefully not too separated ways.  Ultimately and despite all the difficulties resulting out of such an intricate extrication, this appears to have been a rewarding experience for all involved in the sense that it demonstrated a solid
arity and spirit of enterprise and awareness of UAF's role and mission that went beyond disciplinary and other boundaries.  The proponents of the courses and program changes (whether thwarted or successful) are commended on their help in this process.

\par \tab Neve
rtheless, if there is one item to take out of this, it would be that one of UAF's unique strengths is the degree of truly Alaskan entrepreneurship, solidarity and interconnectedness that could be crucial in developing and strengthening attractive graduate
 
programs that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.  This cannot wholly be achieved by administrative (or policy induced) fiat but requires a certain degree of activity and possibly even selflessness at the Department and faculty level that could
 still be developed to greater depths in some areas.  Here, some recently implemented programs (without involvement of the GAAC as they rely on existing courses and no program changes) may actually be pointing the way.
\par 
\par }{\i Open ends:
\par }{
\par }{\i (1) Distance (in particular on-line) delivery of courses
\par }{\tab Here, a number of loose ends remain and if the valiant effort of the Curricular Affairs Committee in implementing a joint CAC-GAAC working group on " Technology-enhanced education" is successful, there is a number of issues
 that that group might address, some of which are outlined in Item (3) in the Section above.
\par 
\par }{\i (2) Joint Ph.D. programs and collaboration within the UA system
\par }{\tab The Graduate School through Dean Kan and an ad-hoc committee have been proactive in fostering a d
iscussion of the possibilities of a joint Ph.D. between UAF and UAA.  Based on discussion and several open meetings, the Dean proposes to close the discussion on the Joint Ph.D. model and move forward with a Collaborative Ph.D. model.  Clearly, from a per
s
pective of limited state resources as well as the potential for synergy, one would like to see more collaboration between the individual MAUs in this regard and the GAAC might be able to help with respect to policies etc.  One point that was brought up in
 
this context is the question to what an extent a limit of 50% on transferrable credits within the system is actually conducive to collaboration and mobility within the state.  Clearly, though, graduate and in particular Ph.D. programs can only grow out of
 
a corresponding "culture" and some of the business addressed by the GAAC this year indicates that even at an institution with the strength and tradition of Ph.D. level graduate programs such as UAF, the complexity and challenge of the associated tasks and
 problems should not be underestimated.
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }{\i (3) Stacked courses
\par }\pard \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright {\tab While the committee realizes that for a university the size of UAF stacking of 400/600 level courses is often the only way of balancing teaching resources and student interests, we are neverthele
ss concerned about the fact that currently there is no mechanism in place to check this balance, other than comments made during the course of new course/ program approvals.  Considering that the committee has been faced with graduate program change reque
s
ts which in one case would have made all of the half dozen courses that are required core courses stacked (and other programs were likewise heavily relying on stacking), it is legitimate to inquire about solid and well-publicized standards that help facul
t
y and students to fully and properly delineate the different expectations and components of the 400 and the 600 level portion of these courses.  Research into older files as well as new applications suggest that this is not always the case.  Here, informa
l
 discussion and mentoring at faculty level might help address some issues, but the committee has also considered forwarding a discussion item to the Senate on limiting the amount of stacked courses that can be part of a degree program's required courses o
r of the courses counting towards a degree.
\par }\pard \ri450\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }{\i (4) Graduate enrollment in undergraduate courses and vice-versa
\par }\pard \ri450\nowidctlpar\adjustright {\tab Pending a decision about potential reduction of fees for undergraduates taking graduate courses (currently considered further by the Provost after 
discussion within GAAC), the committee may want to consider a recommendation regarding the enrollment of graduate students in undergraduate courses and vice-versa.

\par Accomplishments:
\par 
\par Accreditation and Outside Review:
\par 
\par Fall Semester, 2001, the co
mmittee prepared for the visit of the accreditation team.  Although Developmental Studies was included in the self-study, the accreditation team did not have the opportunity to make an in-depth analysis of the issues facing developmental programs.  To add
r
ess this, and to follow up on plans and initiatives proposed by this committee and its members in the past, we invited a team of three reviewers to visit the sites where developmental courses are taught and to report back to the committee, the CRA Dean, t
he Chancellor, and the Provost.  This assessment visit was proposed by Jake Poole, Director, TVC, and was funded through CRA.
\par 
\par The site visit by Hunter Boylan, David Caverly, and Irene Doo, took place April 2-5.  The team initially split up for individual v
isits to Kuskokwim, Northwest, Chukchi, and Bristol Bay, then spent two days in ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø visiting the main ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø campus, Tanana Valley Campus, and Interior-Aleutians Campus.  While on the visits, the reviewers spoke to faculty and administrators, vis
i
ted classes, and visited student support areas such as Rural Student Services, Disability Services, and the Advising Center, among others.  They finished their visit by meeting with the entire Developmental Studies Committee, then meeting with the Chancel
lor, the Provost, the CRA Dean, and Jake Poole, TVC Director.
\par 
\par The team has promised to write up a report by mid-May.  The suggestions made in this report will form the bulk of our committee activities during the coming year.
\par 
\par FY 03 and 04 Initiatives--Student Learning Center:
\par 
\par The FY03 initiative, in its final version, will be used for planning for the following year (FY04) and to hire a Student Learning Center coordinator.  We have also put in an initiative for the FY04 cycle to implement the planning done
 under the FY03 initiative.  At this point, funding for these initiatives is still pending approval from the legislature.
\par 
\par Ongoing Issues:
\par 
\par It is our hope that the outside reviewers' report, when it arrives, will address a number of our ongoing issues and 
concerns, including forming or strengthening a Developmental departmental structure which includes faculty at all campuses, increasing the number of tenure-track positions and thus the stability and professional standing of the program, developing more ef
f
ective methods of assessment and placement, increasing the visibility of our programs to students and colleagues--which includes designated locations for developmental programs at each campus,  and increasing institutional support and commitment to develo
pmental studies programs.

\par II. Old business
\par 
\par Provost Reichardt was invited to clarify several issues:
\par 
\par a.  Issues of tenure and promotion - Even though t
here is no definition of early tenure nor are there any restrictions on applying for early tenure, an important issue for faculty at UAF is the trend for 4th year tenure.  Faculty need to grapple with whether or not they want to see most assistant profess
o
rs apply after 4 years.  One important clarification in the process is that if a faculty member applies for early promotion and tenure (i.e., during 4th year comprehensive review) and is denied tenure, the next opportunity to submit a file would be the ma
n
datory year.  Recommendations: 1) bring the issue back for faculty discussion, 2) reiterate the value of the 4th year comprehensive review, 3) encourage the unit level reviews to reestablish the patterns of tenure (i.e., time commitment, commitment to Uni
versity and unit mission, contributions to university, sustainable track record).  Unit criteria is clearly an important component of the tenure process and Faculty Senate should encourage each unit to establish their criteria.
\par 
\par b.  Assessment and professio
nal development - Discussion of Jin Brown's responsibilities which involve development of program assessment planning schedule, assessment of core curriculum courses, and assisting units to evaluate degree outcomes.  Several ways to tie faculty developmen
t
 efforts to evaluation were discussed: 1) attendance at teaching conferences for faculty with highly developed skills as well as those who need development, 2) on a volunteer basis, assistance to faculty after non-promotion reviews (4th year and post-tenu
re), and 3) a mandated post-tenure development plan decided upon by faculty member and dean (as required).
\par 
\par c.  Recommendations from NW Accreditation regarding faculty handbook - Hild Peters is working with other faculty and staff pieces of the handbook (ta
ble of contents and links to proper sites).  Some recommendations tie faculty development to evaluation and examine the role of a central faculty development office.
\par 
\par d.  Other old business - Discussion of motion to Faculty Senate.  Administrative Committe
e suggestions (budget) and Senate proposed changes (Provost's Council explore the issue).  It was reported that there was not much discussion regarding the issue on the faculty floor.  Although steps are being taken to house a Faculty Development Center n
ext year, the Committee would like to have further discussion with the Senate.  Joy Morrison will be a guest speaker to provide background, vision and other information.
\par 
\par II. New business - Joy discussed development of a model using faculty to help other faculty to improve instruction and instructional technology
