\par III\tab A.\tab Remarks by Chancellor Marshall Lind - 
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind commented on the report from Alex Hill on Information Technology.  It is a good report and with many recommendations and suggestions.  UAF will do their best to address some of the issues.  
\par 
\par This week the UA Academy will be held in Anchorage.  It will cover a variety of topics:  education, natural resources, health and human services, arts & humanities, rural Alaska.  A large number of UAF faculty are making presentations.  
\par 
\par A national search is underway for the position of Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost for Instructional Affairs.  The evaluation of Provost Reichardt is ongoing.  Eduard Zilberkant is the chair.  The review is on track.  
\par 
\par Provost Reichardt will be working with a number of deans to review UAF's Academic Development Plan.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind indicated that UAF is looking at continued growth in enrollment.  The system as a whole was up 9%; UAF was up 11%.  Numbers from a year ago are up.  He feels quite good about enrollment.
\par 
\par Budget:  this year brings new legislators.  The University will be working with the Governor and legislature to ask for an increase in the UA budget.  During his campaign, Governor Murkowski indicated that he would support a 5% increase.  
There are many situations that will make our budget tight.  Fixed costs are going up.  We need to look at how to make costs fit within existing dollars.  The Chancellor will be working closely with officers of this body.  
\par 
\par Larry Duffy asked that some of CSEM faculty, in particular, John Keller and Charlie Mayer, be part of the committee that will review the IT report.  Chancellor Lind indicated that comments on the report could be directed to Provost Reichardt.

\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Chancellor Lind introduced the new Athletic Director, Corene Schwartz.  She indicated that she would like to reconnect athletics with all parts of campus.  Last semester there were 93 student athletics.  Nine
 of those students made the Chancellor's list; 20 made the Dean's list.    There is a pretty high profile in student athletics and she would like to maintain a high academic level
.  One thing Athletics will be doing is to develop a mentoring system with department and colleges.

\par \tab C.\tab Tonya Trabant, Career Services
\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Each year Career Services sponsors the Career Expo event.  During last year's event participation included 70 employers and 1150 attendees.  Tonya Trabant is open to suggestions to making  information 
on this year's Career Expo available.  Their survey shows that networking is the number one way of getting a job.  Internsh
ips; on-campus recruiting; employee referrals; career/job fairs; and faculty contacts are other effective recruiting tools.  Please encourage students to attend the Career Expo, especially students interested in science and research.  Career Services staf
f are willing to come into classes to make presentations.  College job recruiting is down this year, so it is important to encourage students to participate in all events scheduled.  
\par 
\par 
\par \tab D.\tab Joe Kan, Dean, Graduate School
\par 
\par Joe Kan, Dean of the Graduate School, spoke about the Joint Ph.D. model.  UAF needs to increase the number of Ph.D. granted to increase our Carnegie status as a Division I Research University.  
\par 
\par In order to do that without additional resources we need to look at collaborate efforts with UAA.  The next level up is the Joint Ph.D.  The difference between the collaborate program and a joint program is that the student in a collaborate program 
is a UAF student--they may live and work at UAA or UAS, but they are registered as a UAF student.  This works well when there is not a field of study at the other campus.  However, when there is a field of study 
at the other campus that doesn't work.  An example is Psychology.  
\par 
\par Information on the draft Guidelines for Developing UA Joint Doctoral Programs is posted on the web.  The three UA provosts have looked at t
he draft.  This draft is still in the Graduate Academic & Advisory Committee.  Joe Kan hopes to have input from them and to have a workable model for the Senate.  UAF will also need to have the support of the other MAU Senate groups.  
\par 
\par 
\par 
\par IV\tab A.\tab Rural Campus comments 
\par 
\par Pete Pinney opened the discussion from the Bristol Bay Campus in Dillingham.  He stated that the Rural Development faculty want to continue the dialogue on open space dedicated to Alaska Native heritage that was started with the resolution p
assed by the Senate last year.  
\par 
\par Rick Caufield's paper on identifying Alaska Natives as doctorate candidates follows the suggestions from a New Zealand program that promoted the success of 500 Maori Ph.D.'s.
\par 
\par The CRA registrars communicate regularly to coordinate waitlists during registration.  With the addition of UAS and UAA into that mix of statewide course offerings, the last one to touch the record becomes the record of where the student is.  
That complicates how tuition is calculated and sent to the different departments.  As we become more and more involved in cross-regional offerings, more communication will have to take place.
\par 
\par Other items include opening opportunities for video conferencing.  It is available in Nome, Bethel, Dillingham and the main campus.  
\par 
\par Lee Haugen indicated that Nome has been involved in audio conference courses and distance delivery for some time and, therefore, faculty have developed strategies for making the experience successful for students and instructors.  All the courses she
 teaches (graduate and one undergraduate) are distance delivery.  It took some effort to learn the "tools" (computer, phone, and email) necessary for enhancing the audio only experience, but the courses are perceived as very effective by the students.  
John Bruder indicated that their chemistry position has been funded for next year.  
\par 
\par Pete Pinney encouraged faculty to respond to Alex Hill's Information Technology (IT) report.  
\par 
\par Bernice Joseph commented on the videoconference equipment.  Rural campuses are getting training on HorizonLive.  She thanked the faculty for their effort on the approval of courses and working with the rural report.  She also indicated that 
CRA is working with Alaska Cooperative Extension and school districts throughout the state on many collaborative efforts.

\par \tab B.\tab President's Comments - G. Chukwu
\par 
\par Godwin Chukwu commented on the search committee of the Dean of the Graduate School and Vice Provost for Instructional Affairs.  An advertisement has been submitted to the Chronicle of High Education.  He also noted that the 
review of Provost Reichardt is ongoing.
\par 
\par Nominations for the Outstanding Senator of the Year Award are now open and due March 1, 2003.  A review committee will be elected at the March 3rd meeting.  Nominations for the President-elect position will open 
in March and close with an election at the April 7th meeting.  Godwin Chukwu stated that if anyone is interested in becoming more involved with the Faculty Senate the person should consider running for this position.  
\par 
\par He also thanked Bernice Joseph for her comments on the Faculty Senate newsletter.  
\par 
\par A Safety Awareness committee is being established and he will be serving on that committee.  
\par 
\par 
\par \tab C.\tab Staff Council - L. Ledlow
\par 
\par Larry Ledlow briefly touched on a number of items.  Staff are beginning to feel the pinch of a significant increase in health care costs.  Statewide is relatively proactive in engaging staff to reevaluate our current plan.  Staff are wondering 
how sincere the university is in addressing equitable compensation.  A couple of years ago Statewide initiated a reclassification project. 
 They stated that a study of compensation could not be undertaken until a more formal job reclassification was in place.  That project is in place and is just about completed.  At the December Board of Regents meeting it was stated that a reevaluation of 
compensation was not planned after the reclassification is completed. 
\par 
\par Last fall semester, Larry Ledlow reported on the possibility of a reduction in force (RIF) at the GI/Alaska SAR facility.  The GI HR director has notified five staff that their contracts would not be renewed after June.  The main concern of Staff Council 
is how the GI is developing a plan to deal with the RIF.  Staff rights are a concern.  As part of assistance in seeking new employment, they would like for the RIF staff to have the first opportunity to apply for other jobs.  It currently exists only 
for GI positions, but does not apply for other campus jobs.  
\par 
\par Staff Council continues to engage the OMA and other groups to develop a committee on diversity and tolerance.  The committee's charter is to address issues of discrimination, multi-culturalism, freedom of speech, and basic human rights.  
This started as a result of the motion to amend the BOR policy on sexual orientation.  Staff Alliance may be looking at forming a committee at the statewide level as well.  
\par 
\par 
\par \tab D.\tab ASUAF - D. Miller
\par 
\par Derek Miller indicated that ASUAF is off to a roaring start.  At the beginning of the semester they held a student government workshop where they established goals and objectives they hope to accomplish this semester.  
Five goals they are currently working on include:    
\par 
\par 1)  They would like to get 1,000 students voting on their next on-line student government elections.  Last semester they did their first on-line election and were very happy with it.  The last election they had 300 voters participate, 
which is about 7.5% of the student body. They would like to triple that for the next election.  
\par 2)  They hope to put on the first annual ASUAF Summit.  It will be a student oriented leadership program to establish a vision for the student body.  They have a leadership speaker from San Diego.  
It should be a good day for all students, student groups, clubs, residence hall associations, society, etc.  
\par 3)  The third goal is to get 50% of the university committees/boards filled with students.  We will work toward 90-100% next year.  
\par 4)  Legislative advocacy.  A group met with President Hamilton in regards to what our message will be once with go down to Juneau and get a chance to talk with legislators and advocate for the University.  The Board budget request is for an increase of $
13.6 million for the capital budget; the Governor agreed to support a 5% increase.  That 5% equals about $6 million.  We are hoping to get that last percentage.  The theme of this year's campaign is:  "It's Working! " 
\par 5) For the first time in eight years ASUAF will hold its first trust fund board meeting.  When ASUAF sold some of its assets it set up a separate trust fund which they hope to use for scholarships for students.  
\par 
\par Derek Miller will be attending the UA Academy in Anchorage on Tuesday and Wednesday.  
\par 
\par 
\par \tab GSO - Ben Andrews
\par 
\par The Graduate Student Organization has been reorganization and Ben Andrews will be attending the Senate meetings.  He spoke about having graduate students on various committees and the search committee for the new Dean of the Graduate School.  
Graduate students will be looking at the cost and possibly better coverage }{of health care }{for graduate students.

\par A.\tab Motion on Low Grade Reports, submitted by Curricular Affairs 
\par 
\par Ron Illingworth indicated that the motion is to change the low grade report name to Freshman Progress Report.  It will reflect all grades for all freshmen.  Dan Odess stated that this would place a heavy administrative burden on faculty teaching 
large introductory courses.  Ron Illingworth spoke }{about }{reports }{on }{the benefits to students to know where they are in terms of how they are doing in courses.  
Gerry Berman expressed his concern about how early the reports were due.  Ron Illingworth indicated there was no change in the date they are due, which is prior to the withdrawal date.  The motion passed unanimously.

\par This item was pulled from the agenda.

\par 
\par C.\tab Motion to amend the baccalaureate Core Curriculum, submitted by Core Review 
\par 
\par Doug Schamel indicated that the intent of this motion is to allow students to use the Core courses a minimum requirement for all degrees.  This would allow science and math courses to be used by students to meet their degree requirements 
for the baccalaureate core, the B.S. requirements, and/or their major requirements.  The motion passed unanimously.  
\par 
\par MOTION:
\par ======
\par 
\par The UAF Faculty Senate moves to amend the Baccalaureate Core Curriculum (page 29 of the 2002-03 catalog) as follows:  
\par 
\par 
\par [[  ]]  = Deletion
\par CAPS = Addition
\par 
\par 
\par }{\b BACCALAUREATE CORE
\par }{
\par [[Courses used to meet core requirements may not be used to meet any other requirements for a degree.]]  
\par 
\par COURSES USED TO MEET A SCIENCE OR MATHEMATICS CORE REQUIREMENT MAY ALSO BE USED TO SATISFY OTHER DEGREE REQUIREMENTS.  OTHER CORE COURSES MAY NOT BE USED TO MEET ANY OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR A DEGREE.
\par 
\par 
\par \tab EFFECTIVE:  \tab Fall 2003
\par 
\par \tab RATIONALE: \tab 
\par }\pard \ri-180\widctlpar\adjustright {\tab \tab (1) This motion is a simplified version of one unanimously 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\tab \tab approved by the Dean\rquote s council of CSEM in December 2002 
\par \tab \tab for consideration by the Faculty Senate. The wording of 
\par \tab \tab this simplified version was suggested and approved by 
\par \tab \tab Ms. Gayle Gregory, Graduation Manager.  This motion 
\par \tab \tab has received the unanimous approval of the Faculty 
\par \tab \tab Senate\rquote s Core Review Committee.
\par 
\par \tab \tab (2) In effect, this policy will simply formalize current 
\par \tab \tab degree requirements.  For example, the B.S. Chemistry 
\par \tab \tab requirements start off:
\par \tab \tab "1. Complete the general university requirements. (As 
\par \tab \tab part of the core curriculum requirements, complete 
\par \tab \tab Math 200X; Phys 103X and Phys 104X or Phys 211X 
\par \tab \tab and Phys 212X)."
\par 
\par \tab \tab Degree requirements for all other B.S. and B.A. degrees 
\par \tab \tab in sciences have similar wording to accomplish the same 
\par \tab \tab task.
\par 
\par \tab \tab (3) It was the intention of the science core committee 
\par \tab \tab (at the invention of the current UAF Core) that the 
\par \tab \tab science and math core requirements serve as 'minimum', 
\par \tab \tab not as stand-alone requirements.  We simply wish to 
\par \tab \tab ensure that all baccalaureate students graduate with 
\par \tab \tab at least one college-level math and 2 college-level
\par \tab \tab science courses.  It was expected that in many cases
\par \tab \tab these minimum courses were used to satisfy other 
\par \tab \tab requirements.  The proposed wording simply clarifies 
\par \tab \tab the situation.

\par D.\tab Motion to approve adding ENGL 211X or 213X as a prerequisite for all Writing Intensive courses, submitted by Core Review 
\par 
\par Doug Schamel indicated that the committee thought this action had been done a few year ago, but found it hadn't been formally adopted by the Senate.  This action is consistent with past Senate action, especially the one 
recommending that all students complete all Core requirements before they enter their junior year.  A big concern of the committee is that some students take "O" courses without communications as a prerequisite and some take writing intensive ("W")
 courses without adequate background in writing skills.  This motion would help guarantee that student have the basic skills before taking the advanced writing intensive courses.  He asked for a friendly amendment to insert the word "automatically"
 before the word "add."  This fall the committee went through a large amount of paperwork this fall to get permission from faculty to add the appropriate prerequisites.  Joan Leguard objected to the amendment.  Larry Duffy spoke 
against the motion and talked about sequencing of courses. 
\par 
\par Joan Leguard spoke against adding the 200-level English courses as a prerequisite for the writing intensive courses.  The department sequencing may not accommodate all students having the sophomore leve
l English courses prior to the 300-level "W" courses.  Doug Schamel questioned the need for a sophomore level English core requirement if we are not going to use it.  Rainer Newberry stated that English 211/213 should build upon a
 foundation and the "W" courses should build upon writing skills learned in English 211/213.  The}{ amendment passed with a vote of 16 yes and 3 nays.}{
\par 
\par Ron Illingworth said he agreed with why we have "W" & "O" courses, however, there is a question on implementation and the impact on students and scheduling.  He then moved to table the motion until the next Senate meeting and send it back to the Core C
ommittee and to the Curricular Affairs Committee to discuss the actual implementation.  The motion to table passed with a vote of 13 yes and 7 nays.

nic delivery methods, laboratory or field and preparatory activities, such as preparing for lectures, setting up demonstrations, and preparing for laboratory experiments, as well as individual/independent study, tutorial sessions, evaluations, correcting 
p
apers, and determining grades.  Other aspects of teaching and instruction extend to undergraduate and graduate academic advising and counseling, training graduate students and serving on their graduate committees, particularly as their major advisor, curr
