\par 
\par Files submitted by 34 faculty (29 represented by UNAC, 5 represent by ACCFT) and one administrator were reviewed in the promotion/tenure process.  Promotion and/or tenure was awarded in 32 cases.  Two promotion
 applications were declined, and one promotion/early tenure application was withdrawn.  In 26 of the 35 cases, the file received a positive recommendation/decision at all levels.
\par 
\par 
\par }{\b\ul Observations:
\par }{
\par }\pard \fi-540\li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {a.\tab "Early" applications for promotion to Associate Professor
 and tenure continue to greatly outnumber applications during the mandatory year.  However, the majority of these applications were submitted just one or two years prior to the year of mandatory review.  These candidates were either Assistant Professors w
h
o had previously gone through Fourth Year Comprehensive Review or were Professors who applied immediately after hire.  It appears that the recommendations of the last year or two by the campuswide committee and the Provost have had an effect in that the n
umber of "very early" tenure cases has declined, and virtually all of the early tenure candidates in 02/03 received unanimous (or nearly unanimous) support at all levels.
\par b.\tab Lack of appropriate unit criteria continues to be the most problematic part of our 
promotion/tenure process.  In the absence of such criteria, committees and administrators must rely on UAF criteria.  In practice, reviewers find this to be difficult; and disappointed candidates often find rationales based on the UAF criteria to be vague
 and hard to understand.
\par c.\tab Last year's campuswide committees did excellent jobs.  Neither I nor the Chancellor agreed with all their recommendations.  However, I believe that my practice (instituted several years ago) of discussing with the campuswide comm
ittee their recommendations in "difficult" cases has led to a better process and, hopefully, better decisions.
\par d.\tab There are some misunderstandings about the workloads of non-tenure track faculty (e.g., the perception that a research faculty member\rquote s teachi
ng record cannot be evaluated as part of his/her case for promotion).  All reviewers of files should be familiar with the relevant UAF policies and regulations (which charge deans and directors with determining which criteria apply to each of these facult
y).
\par e.\tab It is gratifying to see the beneficial effects of our Faculty Development program acknowledged and described in faculty files, especially those from faculty undergoing Fourth Year Comprehensive Review.
\par f.\tab The attached memo to deans and directors is my attempt to address some problems and issues that have arisen over the past couple years.

\par FROM:\tab Paul Reichardt

\par 
\par SUBJECT:\tab Some Things to Address in This Year's Promotion/Tenure Reviews
\par 
\par The following list summarizes my thoughts about ways in which we can improve on the promotion/tenure processes of the recent past.  Please share this memo with your faculty, especially department chairs and chairs of your unit peer committees.
\par 
\par 1.\tab Any "promises" made by deans, directors or department chairs at time of hire should be addressed by both the candidate (in his/her file) and by reviewers (especially deans, directors, department chairs).
\par 2.\tab The applicable UAF Faculty Policies and Regulations for the FY04 process are the 2002 version for faculty represented by UNAC and the 1997 version for faculty represented by ACCFT.
\par 3.\tab Peer committees need clear written statements on size, identities of individual members, eligibility for membership, and procedures.  Then they need to strictly follow their rules.
\par 4.\tab Unit level peer committees have the responsibility to carry out and report on an in-depth analysis of each candidate's performance.  }{\ul Analysis}{
, not data summary, should be their focus.  Examples might be:  analysis of IAS results to determine why "Dr. Smith" is a good teacher rather than statistical analysis of "average IAS score for entry number three"; analysis of multiple authorship 
and significance of "Dr. Smith's" key publications rather than simply reporting the number of peer-reviewed articles that Smith has published.
\par 5.\tab Unit criteria supplement, but do not replace, UAF criteria.  Recommendations should be based upon explicitly cited criteria.
\par 6.\tab Deans and directors should describe the process used to select the two external reviewers designated by the dean or director.  All reviewers of the file need to know if these two individuals were suggested by the candidate or chosen by an
other method.
\par 7.\tab Units with their own unit criteria should ensure that they are current (see UAF Faculty Senate Regulation III.E at }{\field\flddirty{\*\fldinst { HYPERLINK "http://www.uaf.edu/provost/UnitPeerCriteria/UnitPeerCriteria.html" }{{\*\datafield

 before using them.  Units with unit criteria that need reaffirmation should start the Senate process for obtaining reaffirmation.
\par 8.\tab Peer committees should carefully consider the recommendations written for faculty undergoing Fourt
h Year Comprehensive Review.  Highly supportive letters from peer committees to these candidates almost certainly elicit promotion/tenure applications from those individuals in the following year.  This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but committees need t
o be aware of the phenomenon as they determine the tone of the letter to a junior faculty member who is doing well.

\par The UAF Faculty Senate, upon recommendation of the Faculty Development, Assessment, and Improvement Committee, moves to establish a Faculty Travel Committee.  This committee will assist the Office of Faculty Development in the evaluat
ion of faculty development travel funding requests, and will be charged with setting the procedures for submitting requests and the criteria for evaluating requests.
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par \tab EFFECTIVE:      Immediately
\par 
\par \tab RATIONALE:      Currently, faculty development travel requests 
\par \tab \tab are submitted to the Office of Faculty Development on 
\par \tab \tab an ad hoc basis and reviewed on a case-by-case basis.  
\par \tab \tab This is a very cumbersome process for the Office of 
\par \tab \tab Faculty Development Director and also does not allow for 
\par \tab \tab careful planning of the budget.  This motion establishes 
\par \tab \tab a Faculty Travel Committee, which will set rules for 
\par \tab \tab submissions of travel funding requests, set guidelines by 
\par \tab \tab which those requests will be reviewed, and assist the 
\par \tab \tab Office of Faculty Development in the review of those 
\par \tab \tab requests.

\par }{\b Old Business from last semester: 
\par }{The following items from last semester remain on the Faculty Affairs agenda.  The Faculty Affairs Committee discussed the items and reviewed their status.
\par 
\par 1.\tab Spouse Appointment Policy 
\par This policy was nearly ready for the Senate last semester but ran into last minute difficulties with the AA/EO.  The committee will seek further information of AA/EO to decide the fate of the policy.
\par 
\par 2.\tab Classified Research 
\par Pete Pinney  reported that the Policy on Classified and Proprietary Research has been on the desk of attorney Hostina for the summer and awaits a decision.  There are three options.  On
e is to have the chancellor allow it to become policy after the thirty-day period.  The other is to have him veto the policy and begin the reconciliation process.  The third is to grant another extension.  Everything goes in thirty day cycles except for t
he reconciliation policy, which has no dates attached.  An extension until 15 September is likely after which the policy will be returned to Faculty Affairs for the week before the full Senate meeting on 22 September.
\par 
\par 3.\tab Parking & the Master Planning Committee
\par Last year the Master Planning Committee created a subcommittee on parking.  The committee is chaired by Shirish Patil who reported that the report of the new planning consultants will soon be available (see Attachment 1).  The FA Committee discussed t
he West Ridge construction and many of the problems associated with that project were aired.  A general question was raised as to whether the Master Planning Committee is responsive to comments and needs of faculty, staff and students.  Does the parking s
ubcommittee deal with operations as well as planning?  Should they?  What is the relationship between the Faculty Senate and the Master Planning Committee?  These issues will be on the agenda for Faculty Affairs.
\par 
\par 4.\tab Unit Criteria 
\par Dan Odess will continue serving as the FA representative on the Unit Criteria Committee.

\par President Pinney has given this proposal from the statewide administration a very high priority. Faculty were not involved in the initial process but after some negotiation b
y the Faculty Alliance  the procedures will be  revised to include faculty opinion. A statement from President Pinney will be forthcoming.
\par 
\par 7.\tab Emeritus Qualification
\par Procedures regarding appointment of emeriti faculty are again an issue.  The provost asks 
should there be a time limit on appointments after retirement, i.e. a sunset on eligibility for appointment?  Also current policy allows active or retired faculty to nominate emeriti.  Should at least some of the nominees be active faculty?  These issues 
will be reviewed by Faculty Affairs.

\par }\pard \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {8.\tab Fast Track Tenure issue

\par }\pard\plain \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {The purpose of the Circulation and Parking Plan is to provide additional guidance toward implementing the transportation related items in the 
Master Plan.  To this end, UAF formed the Circulation and Parking Subcommittee (CPS) to identify specific issues and mitigation measures to address near-term and long-term needs related to pedestrians and bicycles, the UAF shuttle system, motor vehicle ci
r
culation, and the parking system.  As such, this project required technical data collection and analysis, as well as a qualitative review of the issues and potential improvements.  CPS hired a team of consultants (consultant team was selected from seven p
r
oposals that were submitted to UAF as a response to RFP) to provide expertise in the areas of transportation planning, traffic engineering, economics and finance, and landscape architecture.  A public involvement process was undertaken, which included two
 
public meetings and an on-line survey posted on the UAF web site.  Additional comments were taken directly by members of the CPS.  Implementation actions were evaluated for both technical soundness and appropriateness for the character and goals of the ca
m
pus community.  The resulting Plan includes a wide range of measures to improve circulation and parking throughout the UAF campus.  It also includes a range of strategies, from significant infrastructure changes to pedestrian enhancements to modified park
i
ng management measures.  Many of the measures are tied to existing campus plans, such as the completing Tanana Loop, constructing Thompson Drive, as well as to building sites identified for future development.  In addition, changes to the existing parking
 
permit system are identified to optimize use of existing facilities.  The major recommendations are summarized in the Final Report.  The final report should be available on the web after all revisions are made (I expect that to happen sometime late Septem
ber).
\par 
\par Way Forward:
\par 
\par The tentative plan for the Public Meeting for CPS Final Plan with KAI is as below (pending confirmation for date from KAI):
\par 
\par CPS will hold a public meeting on Monday, Sept 29.  There will be two meetings, both at the Wood Center (a morn
ing one, 9-12am time frame and an evening one from 6-9pm time frame).  Each meeting will be for no more than two hours.  The plan is to have a formal presentation of the plan (power point) by KAI in the first half hour in the Wood Center Ball Room (NO que
stion/answer session) to educate the constituents about the plan, followed by an display open meeting in Wood Center ground level area.  Same format will be repeated in the evening.
\par 
\par The announcements regarding the meetings will appear in Sept 19 Cornerstone, Daily News Miner, Sun Star and campus wide e-mails to Deans and Directors.
\par 
\par CPS will put up a web feedback form with a new email address for the campus/community feedback on the report and public meeting.
\par 
\par Both sessions are scheduled as on campus events due to poor show at the Noel Wien Library during last open house.

Tuition waivers for graduate school.  Susan Henrichs explained that currently there are no limitations on what courses graduate students can sign up for when they receive a tuition waiver.  Sometimes these courses are clearly not relevant to the student
\rquote s degree program, and this results in a cost to the university.  Several methods for restricting waivers to relevant courses were discussed.
\par b.\tab Program policies on maintaining status in the graduate program.  We will be examining CSEM's draft policy at a future meeting.
\par c.\tab Discrepancies between individual programs in the requirements for 698:  6 credits (catalog) vs. 3-6 credits (a number of programs).

\par On May 14, 2003, the Faculty Appeals and Oversight Committee met with Chancellor Marshall Lind and Dr. Eduard Zilberkant, Chair of the ad-hoc committee for Provost Review.  FAOC members present were
 Paul Layer (chair), Carol Gold, and Larry Duffy (there were problems with the bridge so we could not contact remote sites).  The meeting convened at 2:00 PM.  Chancellor Lind summarized his evaluation of the Provost.  It was his impression that the ad-ho
c
 committee report highlighted many of the strengths and weaknesses of the Provost and his report echoed these points.  The Chancellor and the Provost have met and will continue to meet to take steps to address the issues raised.  The meeting adjourned at 
approximately 2:30 PM.  The FAOC would like to thank Dr. Zilberkant and the other members of the ad-hoc committee for their work.  This concludes the administrator review process for the 2002-2003 academic year.

\par 
\par 2.   The committee agreed to a regular meeting time (8:30-9:30 am, Thursday) and scheduled the next meeting for Thursday, 25 September at 8:30 am in 222 Bunnell (Office of Faculty Development).
\par 
\par 3.   Shunpu Zhang agreed to serve on the Senate's ad hoc committee on unit criteria.
\par 
\par 4.   Joy Morrison updated the committee on this year's orientation schedule for new faculty, the list of faculty development training workshops, and the faculty development web site.  She also indicated to the committee that t
he Faculty Development Office has a budget of ~52K this year.  This level of funds is reduced from previous years which means that fewer funds may be available for faculty travel than in past years.
\par 
\par 5.   Joy Morrison reiterated the difficulty that she is 
having dealing with individual faculty travel requests and asked that the committee establish a faculty travel policy.  A subcommittee on faculty travel was established last year and a series of recommendations were sent to the full Senate last spring.  T
h
e Senate suggested that the committee submit a more general policy for Senate approval.  A new subcommittee on faculty travel policy, consisting of Gerald Berman, Channon Price, Lee Haugen and Shunpu Zhang, was established to work with the travel policy d
evised by the subcommittee last year and develop a more general document that could be sent to the full Senate for approval as soon as possible.
\par 
\par 6.   Joy Morrison indicated that she would be attending the POD (Professional & Organizational Development) Conference in Denver on October 8-12 and requested a volunteer from the committee to join her in attending that meeting. 
\par 
\par 7.   The committee discussed past work on IAS forms.  Tom Robinson suggested that Hild Peters be invited to serve on the committee, as s
he was a member in past years.  Her attendance would allow interaction in the important area of instructional assessment.  Joy Morrison noted that Hild Peters has included a form in the IAS packets that better explains their role to students and faculty, 
but that that is unlikely to be sufficient to deal with concerns raised by Jordan Titus last year.  
\par 
\par 8.   It was noted that Susan Henrichs is responsible for outcomes assessment.  Joy Morrison asked Pete Pinney if he would ask Susan to join our committee since we oversee policy on Faculty Assessment also.
