\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Provost Reichardt spoke about the Board of Regents' meeting held last week.  The Regents approved the MA in Applied Linguistics.  
\par 
\par The administration has been worki
ng on a strategic plan for the UA system.  A copy is available in the Governance Office.  The Senate should keep an eye on what is going on.  For the most part the administration in drafting this is trying to build on existing documents.  They are paying 
attention to UAF 2005, the academic development plan, the master plan, and similar plans and documents from the other MAU's.  The major issues for debate and resolution will revolve around a couple things.  One issue came from the revised mission statemen
t from UAA submitted and that did not pass.  Questions about the mission statement had to do with a statement about diversity, breath of interest, and special recognition of the University's relationship to and responsibility for education delivered to Al
a
ska Natives.  The Board agreeing that it needs to set a framework for all the MAU's to deal with that issue.  The second issue is the future with respect to granting of Ph.D.'s within the system.  SAC was charged with writing up a paper on what it takes t
o deliver a Ph.D. in an area, what are the implications for a Ph.D. granting institution.  
\par 
\par Another document related is a report on the University of Alaska that has been produced by Commonwealth North.  It is an enterprise centered in Anchorage that is concerned about the future of the state.  They have spent the last six months
 studying the university and have produced a report.  
\par 
\par Elections and appointments--The elections are certain, but you need to be aware of some dynamics.  A number of Regents left ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø early Friday afternoon.  Elections for Board officers were
 taken late Friday afternoon and some of the Regents may be unhappy.  By the time the Regents meet again it is unsure how many there will be.  They decided to postpone their scheduled January
 retreat because of the uncertainty of who will be there.  The law says that within five days of the start of the next session, the governor needs to validate the latest appointments to the Board.  In addition, Joe Thomas and Chancy Croft terms have exp
ired.  
\par 
\par Part of the FY04 state budget process will be a report from the three MAU's on what has been done in the way of true budget reallocation.  Reallocation base budgets will be part of the considerations for the future budgets.  
\par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Peter McRoy asked about the strategic plan.  Larry Duffy indicated that Jim Johnson has been presented a preliminary draft to the Systemwide Governance Council.

\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {V\tab A. \tab Faculty Concerns of rural campuses
\par 
\par John Bruder, Dillingham--his main concern is a lack of faculty, especially to deliver the B.A. in Elementary Education degree.  They don't have enough science faculty to deliver the required courses.  
Godwin Chukwu asked how enrollments impact the situation.  John Bruder indicated that it's not so much enrollments, as it is to get teachers in the villages.  
\par 
\par Paul Reichardt indicated that SAC recently tasked Jason Oler in statewide to work on distance delivered programs to do an inventory of the courses that are scheduled to be delivered in terms of the B.L.A. 
from UAS and the B.A., Elementary from UAF.  At this point--at least on paper--we have a distance delivery version of every course in each of those two programs, with the possible exception of enough upper division electives in the B.L.A.  We now need to 
look at a three or four year cycle of courses.  We need to look at the two degrees and see if there are any holes in the delivery and figure out whom will be responsible for that delivery.  
\par 
\par Mike Hannigan, Nome--An associated issue link with the shortage of
 faculty is a cross-regional bridge and preference for getting into courses.  There are some courses that have urban students registering.  Science is an example of the limited space.  There needs to some effort during the early registration period to all
ow a rural preference getting into those courses.  Often the urban bases have a variety of options available to them.  The rural students do not have other options.  John Bruder indicated that problem use to be monitored by CDE.  
\par 
\par B.J. Wolter, Nome--He agreed with Mike Hannigan and indicated there is physical limitations of being able to offer lab courses at a distance.  We can only have a limited number of sites and quite often non-rural students take up those sites
.  Paul Reichardt indicated that he would take this issue to SAC.  It will not be easy because of all the different start dates.  
\par 
\par Ron Illingworth--he did a check on the registration for spring semester and during the first few days about 4/5 of the students that had signed up were from S
outheast.  Suggestions on restricting enrollment to a certain time may be solutions for problem.  Another area of concern is that our students are restricted to a semester-based course.  We're finding that in some disciplines the
 time frame is too compressed to complete the course successfully.  
\par 
\par Paul Reichardt mentioned that one of the distance education proposals that SAC is looking at is a two year funding for a position at TVC to direct and deliver an associate degree online.  Ron Illingworth stated that m
any students/communities do not have internet access.  Jane Weber indicated that online delivery of math courses presents problems.  
\par 
\par B.J. Wolter commented that he tried to teach a geoscience course entirely online and in his experience, it is not possible to teach a lab science course entirely online.  
You just do not have the ability to communicate the information to the student online.

\par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Mary Matthews, Director of Student Support Services (SSSP)--This is a new federa
l program on campus.  It is one of the TRIO programs; the other two are Upward Bound and Upward Bound, Math/Science.  It is an academic support program for at risk college students.  There is criteria to be eligible for the program--low-income
 students, fi
rst generation college students, and students with disabilities.  They are setting up tutoring, small study groups and extra advising.  They can accommodate 160 student.  They currently have about 100 students and they need referrals of students into the 
p
rogram.  This program is available on the main campus and TVC.   A second program is a collaboration between the SSS and the Advising Center--The Learning Resource Center.  Flyers list all the tutoring services on campus.  This semester there were study g
roups and next semester there will be supplemental instruction for BIOL 106, CHEM 105, DEVM 105, MATH 107, and some History.  The program is in its second year of a four-year
 grant.  Jane Weber indicated that the 1-800 math tutoring help is available.  If faculty make referrals they will make the determination if they are eligible for the program.  If they don't they will refer them to other areas.

The program was initiated in 1986 as an option for those interested in working in the human services.  Insofar as human services program is not constrained by accreditation standards, it was seen at the time as a viable 
option for rural students who had limited course offerings.  The social work program is constrained only in maintaining educational standards by its accreditors.  The social work program has been successfully delivering its curriculum to rural sites since
 
1987.  It was difficult to explain to students and others the differences between the two programs.  There was neither need nor resources to deliver two programs to train social service providers.  Therefore it was decided in 1987 that students would no l
onger be accepted in the Human Services Program.  The last graduation from the Human Services program was in 1994.

t
his year a systemwide study of engineering both in respect to access to instructional programs and organization and breadth of engineering research.  SAC will not be acting on any proposals in engineering until the external review is complete.  Larry Duff
y indicated it was important for the Senate to approve this proposal so that UAF has a proposal on the table.  Dan Odess asked how this proposal interfaces with the computer science program and existing engineering programs.  
Ron Illingworth indicated that the proposal uses existing courses from both computer science and electrical engineering.  Rich Collins from Electrical and Computer Engineering indicated there was a lot of discussion on the impact on current programs.
  It was acknowledge that this was a
 viable new program area.  As part of the process the committee analyzed the performance of computer science and electrical engineering students currently taking courses to see how they would deal with the material.  They did not find any differences.  Br
ett Simmons asked about the number of possible students and jobs.  Rich Collins stated that in their discussion with industry they do see a need.   The motion passed with 1 nay.

\par Executive Summary
\par Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering
\par 
\par Computer engineering is a relatively new discipline that merges the fields of electrical engineering and computer science.  The discipline of computer engineering (CompE) educates engineers in the theory, design, technology a
nd application of computing devices.  This discipline draws on hardware (electrical engineering) and software (computer science) concepts to design and implement computer hardware and software systems to solve problems.  The understanding of both software
 
and hardware allows the computer engineer to view the design and development of hardware and software as two intimately linked parts of one activity.  A computer engineer might be involved in fundamental research, hardware design and fabrication, software
 
system design, or systems integration.  Applications of computer engineering can be found in communication systems, the entertainment industry, mobile robot systems, motor vehicle systems, instrumentation, manufacturing processes, intelligent electronics,
 and many others.  
\par 
\par The graduates of the computer engineering program will fill technological needs in Alaskan industry that are increasing, and that are currently filled by immigrants to the state.  The computer engineering program will retain Alaskan stu
dents in state.  The program will provide a high tech foundation for supporting state government, existing state industry, and high tech or computer start up companies, fostering economic growth.

\par 
\par Ron Illingworth indicated this motion amends the language that is currently in the
 catalog and clarifies the process for obtaining advanced credit for foreign languages.  Dan Odess asked about exempting students.  Ron Illingworth indicated that the university gives credit for local advanced placement in three areas:  English, Math, and
 
Foreign Languages.  Students have the opportunity to receive credit for the preceding course(s).  Abel Bult-Ito asked for clarification on how students can take courses at the 400-level without this prior credit.  Larry Duffy indicated that we do give cre
d
it for prior learning.  Bill Schneider asked about Native Languages.  This was not addressed.  Larry Duffy asked that the motion be referred back to the committee to review the policy in general and how it fits into the total credits.  Bill Schneider indi
cated there is confusion about not having to take the prior course and getting credit for the prior course because you qualify for the higher course.  The motion was referred back to committee.

\par Executive Summary
\par M.A.T., Secondary
\par 
\par 
\par In 1998, in conjunction with the development of new post-baccalaureate teacher education programs for elementary and secondary teachers, the School of Education developed a secondary 
program that allowed post-baccalaureate teacher education students to earn an MAT degree in conjunction with the coursework and internship required for a teacher education license.  After three years, with ongoing review and reflection of the advantages a
nd disadvantages of the MAT option (including the solicitation of a great deal of feedback from mentor teachers and administrators), the School of Education suspended admission to its MAT programs in 2000.  
\par 
\par In place of the MAT, the School of Education des
igned an option for post-baccalaureate teacher education students to pursue the more respected and more rigorous M.Ed.  This option allows post-baccalaureate students to use 15 of the required 30 credits from their licensure program to satisfy one-half of
 the 30 credits required for a M.Ed. degree in Curriculum and Instruction.
\par 
\par This new option has been in place for two years and the response from students, university faculty, and school district personnel has been very positive.  In contrast to the MAT deg
ree, the M.Ed. provides the option for students who complete our post-baccalaureate teacher education programs to continue their graduate work with us, and it provides the opportunity for the School of Education to provide professional development and sup
port for beginning teachers.  The M.Ed. can also be used as a foundation for a Ph.D. because of its requirement for research and the completion of a research project or a thesis.

\par Executive Summary
\par M.A.T., Secondary Licensed Teachers
\par 
\par In 1999, in conjunction with the development of new post-baccalaureate
 teacher education programs for elementary and secondary teachers, the School of Education developed:  (1) a secondary MAT degree for teachers who held either BA/BS degrees and (2) B.Ed. degrees, and additionally were licensed K-12 teachers, to pursue a M
A
T degree to enhance their content knowledge and receive current educational philosophy and pedagogy courses.  After four years, with ongoing review and reflection of the advantages and disadvantages of the MAT option, during which only one student applied
 for either option and then choose to complete a different degree, the School of Education made a decision to delete both options of this degree.  
\par 
\par In place of the MAT, the School of Education offers the option to pursue the more respected and more rigorous M.Ed.
\par 
\par The M.Ed. provides the opportunity for the School of Education to provide professional development and support for teachers.  The M.Ed. can also be used as a foundation for a Ph.D. because of its requirements for research and for the completion of
 a research project or a thesis.

 spoke against the motion.  Abel Bult-Ito spoke in favor of the motion but asked about the elimination of the three diff

 as a developing graduate school if it was moved under the Provost Office.  He felt that people see a Dean as a different position than
 a Vice Provost, with different responsibilities and functions.   Pete Pinney indicated that in a discussion with the Dean Kan they asked him a number of questions.   The following handout highlighted his remarks.  
\par 
\par }\pard\plain \widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {Topics to be discussed by Joe Kan include:

\par 
\par \bullet   Outcomes assessment implementation task alone is not enough to justify for the title of a Vice Provost.

lated to funds allocated to the departments/programs for instructional/academic purposes and those allocated to run the Administration.  For all UAF's Colleges and Schools, the committee would very much appreciate receiving a breakdown in funds showing th
e allocation of funds to departments/programs and those allocated to run the administrative structure of these Colleges and Schools.
\par \tab 2.  Other issues were brought up related to the F&A tax on grants that do not bring in indirect costs.  The committee would appreciate answers to the following questions:
\par \tab a)  What is the rationale for the F&A tax?
\par \tab b)  Does the F&A tax affect direct costs of the grant?
\par \tab c)  How many grants, in terms of percentage to total number of grants received and total amount of grant $$ received, are affected by this F&A tax?
\par \tab d)  What is the annual $$ amount generated by this F&A tax?
\par \tab e)  How are funds generated by this F&A tax allocated?

\par 
\par The following report was distributed as a handout.  
\par 
\par Report of activities of the Core Review Committee
\par Submitted by Douglas Schamel, School of Education; 6 December 2002
\par 
\par The Core Review Committee met on October 30, November 13, and November 20.  
\par 
\par We considered two proposals to add courses to the "Perspe
ctives on the Human Condition".  PETE 100X was proposed as an alternative to ANTH/SOC 100X.  After lengthy discussion and testimony from several departments, PETE withdrew its request and promised to work on the proposal.  CHEM 300X was proposed as an alt
ernative Ethics course.  Testimony from the current course instructor, and faculty from several departments, persuaded the committee that this proposal also needed more work. 
\par 
\par It was clear to the committee that a new procedure for approval of Core courses 
should be written and implemented.  This procedure should include a checklist for approvals, impacts, and assessments.  This will be on the agenda of the committee in a future meeting. 
\par 
\par The committee examined 16 petitions during this reporting period; 9 were approved and 7
 were not approved.  All requests that were disapproved involved students attempting to use UAF courses as substitutes for the Core.  It is noteworthy, perhaps, that all these requests would have been approved if these students had been 
transfer students.  The committee members are struggling with this inequity.
\par 
\par The committee is also discussing potential changes to the rules of the Core, such that courses used to fulfill Core requirements could also be used to meet major or minor requirements in the B.S. degree program.  Stay tuned.
\par 
\par We have worked closely with deans, directors, and department heads to add appropriate prerequisites for "O" and "W" courses to the 2003-04 UAF catalog.  We appreciate the cooperation received.
\par 
\par Committee Chai
r Schamel and committee member Brown met with directors of the rural campuses at UAF on December 5.  We listened to their concerns regarding implementation of Core courses, and have been invited to join them again in the future for an audioconference.  It
 was great to begin a conversation on how the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø campus can provide assistance to the branch campuses, and how the branch campuses are providing a conduit for rural students to come to, and succeed at, the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø campus.

\par Minutes of Faculty Development, Assessment, and Improvement Committee Meeting
\par Tuesday, 3 December 2002 / 9am
\par Office of Faculty Development, 222 Bunnell
\par 
\par Committee Members present:  Abel Bult-Ito (Chair), Paul McCarthy, Joy Morrison, E. Thomas Robinson, Channon Price, Ann Wilson
\par 
\par Committee Members absent:  Brian Barnes, Gerald Berman, George Charles, Linda Curda, Lee Haugen, Roger Norris-Tull, Shunpu Zhang
\par 
\par Guests present:  Norm Swazo and Hild Peters
\par 
\par 1.  Norm Swazo, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, informed the committee on the Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE) grant.  Norm is the team leader of this three-yea
r project.  "The 'Liberal Education and Global Citizenship: the Arts of Democracy,' is a curriculum and faculty development project designed to prepare future college graduates to become more informed, socially responsible and engaged citizens of the nati
o
n and the world.  The project will assist participating institutions as they provide students with a sophisticated understanding of their increasingly interconnected but unequal world" (UAF News Release, 11 April 2002, provided to the committee by Norm). 
 This grant is sponsored by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and supported by the Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education.
\par 
\par Norm expressed that one of his goals is to move this project be
yond the College of Liberal Arts and get more campus-wide participation.  Norm also provided the committee with a progress report, which is printed below.  The FDAIC would like to congratulate Norm and the other core team members (George Charles, Mary 
Erhlander, Karen Erickson, David Koester, and John Leipzig) on obtaining this highly prestigious grant, which will allow for exciting "global" developments on our campus.

\par 
\par ----------
\par 
\par 2.  We continued discussion of IAS teaching evaluations.  Hild Peters, Assistant to the Provost, joined us for these discussions.  H
ild gave us some additional background on the use of IAS evaluations, which included (most of these items can be found on the Provost's web site):
\par \tab - University of Washington IAS forms were approved by the Faculty Senate about 15 years ago, including information on how they should be used, which items can be public information, and use of yellow sheets.
\par \tab - IAS evaluations are mainly used for Promotion and Tenure reviews.
\par \tab - Some problems associated with IAS evaluations are for example:  in team-taught cours
es only one instructor gets formal credit and evaluations, no evaluations need to be administered for classes with an enrollment below 5 students (this resulted this academic year in one Promotion/Tenure file not containing any IAS forms), and no evaluati
ons for independent study classes.
\par 
\par Other discussion items included:
\par \tab - How to make the yellow sheet comments available without the possibility of identifying the students (yellow sheets are currently only available to the instructor).
\par \tab - Concerns about turn around times of IAS forms that sometimes are quite long.
\par \tab - Timing of administering the IAS forms and doing informal evaluations during the semester.
\par \tab - Hild pointed out that a pilot is currently underway (justice courses) to test online IAS forms for online courses and when this goes well to expand this pilot project to include for example rural campus courses.
\par \tab - Channon Price pointed out that the FDAIC looked at the IAS forms several years ago and came to the conclusion that the University of Washingto
n forms in comparisons to other institutions came out close to the top.  If we change this evaluation tool we would sacrifice 15 years of statistics and the University of Washington research base on teaching evaluations.  Channon also agreed with Jordan T
i
tus' point that teaching evaluations are definitely a two-way street.  That is, we need to inform the students about the specific meanings of the individual items (they are already briefed on the general usage and importance of the IAS evaluations), and j
ust as importantly, survey the students to learn how they interpret and thus respond to the individual items.  Without both efforts, there will still be too much comparison of "apples and oranges".
\par 
\par The committee agreed not to appoint a sub-committee but to continue discussion of this issue in the committee and invite Jordan Titus again to attend the next meeting.
\par 
\par 3.  Report by the Sub-Committee on the Faculty Mentoring Program.
\par Joy indicated that she received comments from the other committee members, Paul McCarthy and George Charles, and is waiting for comments from Roger Norris-Tull.  Once Rogers
 comments are received, the committee will meet and formulate a proposal to the FDAIC.
\par 
\par 4.  Policy for funding faculty travel.
\par Joy asked the committee to help dr
aft guidelines for awarding of faculty development travel funds.  This is timely, because this year's funds for travel are very small compared to last year and Joy receives many requests for travel funding.  Note: Joy indicated that some of these requests
 are less than courteous.  Colleagues, please be civil and try to understand that travel funds are limited!
\par 
\par 5.  Faculty Development at UAF Annual Report.
\par Joy gave us a copy of a letter from Provost Paul Reichardt, dated 11 November 2002, related to the Annual Report.  The committee will include this letter in discussions of the Annual Report at the next meeting.
\par 
\par 6.  Report by the Ad Hoc Committee on Unit Criteria.
\par Abel Bult-Ito gave a short report on the issues discussed by this committee.  These include h
ow to define a unit and which units should be allowed to submit their own unit criteria.  The general consensus appears to be (and supported by the Provost) that departments should be allowed to submit their own unit criteria even if they are smaller than
 
a unit peer review committee.  The Ad Hoc committee decided to hold off on suggesting major revisions of the policies/regulations related to unit criteria until more information has been gathered.  The committee has received unit criteria from the Journal
ism Department, School of Management, and School of Mineral Engineering.  These are at initial stages of review.
\par 
\par 7.  The next meeting of the FDAIC is scheduled for 9:00 am on Tuesday 14 January 2003.  The committee will meet again in the Office of Faculty Development conference room, 222 Bunnell.  The tentative agenda for this meeting is:
\par \tab - Continued discussion of IAS teaching evaluations.  Jordan Titus will be invited to participate in the discussions (15 min).
\par \tab - Report by the Sub-Committee on the Faculty Mentoring Program (15 min).
\par \tab - Faculty Development at UAF Annual Report (15 min).
\par \tab - Other business (15 min).
\par 
\par 8.  Meeting was adjourned at 10:05am.

\par 
\par Peter McRoy indicated that KUAC had a report this morning concerning the Commonweath North report.  
\par 
\par Ron Illingworth
 gave an update on the ACCFT negotiations.  They are at a point where they need to bring in a mediator.  Their new buttons indicated the unions make it work.  He also indicated that whatever they come up with in their negotiations United Academics may fac
e in their next contract renewal.  
\par
