\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {A.\tab Tori Tragis, University Relations - Emergency Preparedness  
\par 
\par Tori Tragis spoke about the need to prepare for emergencies.  The University as an institution has developed a Crisis Communication Plan.  Each unit/department should have its own response plan.  It should include two components:  1) the physical
 response, and 2) dissemination of information. 
\par 
\par Emergencies can occur at any time and without warning.  Careful planning with an emphasis on safety will assist UAF community members in responding appropriately to crises and emergencies.  Each department should have a plan for dealing with an emergency.

\par 
\par The ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø has established a recorded emergency information hotline at 474-7UAF (474-7823).  Media as well as the public should call this number for information and updates on emergency or unusual events affecting the 
campus including holiday closures and weather- and safety-related issues.  In the event of an emergency, additional information may be available at the UAF Newsroom (www.uaf.edu/news) and by fax or e-mail. 
\par 
\par UAF is committed to creating a safe environment for students, staff, faculty and the public, and to assisting the media in keeping the public informed as important emergency events unfold.

\par B.\tab Jo Knox & Brenda Knavel, Division of Computing and Communication - 
\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {The Division of Computing and Communication is in the planning phase of replacing/upgrading Aurora (UAF's email server) and Zorba (U
AF's web server).  We already have the machines which are 2 dual 3 Ghz Xeon processor HP computers.  Each will be connected to UAF's Storage Area Network (SAN) and will have 200- 300 GB of storage.  The new machines will have Gigabit Ethernet connections 
to the network.  Aurora will have 4GB of memory, which is double what the current Aurora has.  Zorba will have 2GB of memory, which is 3-1/2 times more than the current Zorba.  We are looking at clustering the new machines,
 which means there will be 2 machines running at the same time ready to provide the service.  If machine A goes down, machine B takes over for it without interruption in service to the customer.
\par 
\par Software on Aurora:
\par \tab The new Aurora will be strictly an email server.  The current statistics packages and compilers will remain on the current Aurora machine, which will be renamed Nanook.
\par \tab We will no longer be supporting POP (Post Office Protocol) on the new Aurora.  We will continue supporting IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) which is more efficient than POP.
\par \tab We are evaluating a new webmail package.  We will have 4 or 5 packages for users to evaluate and a survey to respond to, to assist DC&C in choosing one or two best products.
\par \tab We are discussing eliminating shell access to the server.
\par \tab We are discussing eliminating Pine as an email client on the server.
\par 
\par Software on Zorba:
\par \tab We are planning on maintaining all of the current software on Zorba today and adding support for XML, Java, and a shopping cart.
\par 
\par 
\par C.\tab Larry Duffy spoke in favor of the ame
ndment to the Master's Degree requirements increasing the flexibility of credits for projects.  He spoke against the motion requiring that graduate student must enroll at the 600-level for any stacked courses.  Academically this is okay, but it will have 
a big financial impact.  This will affect the funds available to pay for TA tuition waivers and RA research grants.  This will have a financial impact on the sciences and may lower our ability to increase our number of graduate students in the future.

\par 
\par 
\par D.\tab Ilana Kingsley commented on the proposed changes to the Aurora server.  She would not like to see Pine and shell access go away.

\par \tab A.\tab President's Comments - Pete Pinney
\par 
\par Pete Pinney reported that he has a call into Jim Johnsen regarding the status of the UAF Chancellor Search Committee.  It will mirror the UAA committee.  It will have seven faculty (one from UAA), four administrative, two staff, possibly more than 
two community members, one alumni, and one statewide member.  They will contract with a firm to help with recruitment.  We should have further details next week.  
\par 
\par He reported to the Board of Regents as spokesperson from Faculty Alliance.  The Alliance will send a resolution in support of the Faculty Liaison position as a valuable tool for
 infusing faculty perspective in the statewide discussions.  Faculty need to be more involved in the creation of future surveys.

\par \tab B.\tab President-Elect 's Comments - Abel Bult-Ito
\par 
\par Abel Bult-Ito reported on a meeting with Pat Pitney and Paul Jenny f
rom the Statewide Budget Development and Institutional Research office in July.  He asked them for information about the Statewide Administration detailing increases in expenditures over the last several years.  Jeff Swartz, Statewide Budget Analyst, sent
 him a statewide expenditures memo on September 29th, which is included as an attachment to today's agenda.  Abel highlighted a few issues learned from this report and discussed some follow-up questions.

Statewide institutional support, comparable to administrative costs, accounts for 34.55% of total institutional support at the University of Alaska in FY99, while this was 38.13% in FY03.  This is an increase of 3.58% or $2.63 million.

This was due to statewide institutional support (26.76%) increasing 3.13-fold more than that at the academic MAUs (8.56%; UAF + UAA + UAS) from FY99 to FY03.

Please look at Tables 1 and 2 of the statewide expenditures memo.  In
 table one, research is a faculty enterprise.  Now lets see how much money was allocated to the UA system subtracting statewide funds and research:  It only increased 29.3% compared to 38.3% at statewide.  Taken together with his 
report last May that UAF ad
ministrative budgets have increased 3.5-fold over that of academic funds, he is prepared to say, supported by the data, that UAF and UA administrations are getting top heavy.  Therefore any cuts next year should predominantly fall within the administrativ
e ranks.
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par Abel also spoke about the budget liaison report presented to the Faculty Senate during meeting #116 on May 5, 2003.  He would like to request, from Provost Reichardt and Chancellor Lind, a written rationale for the 3.5-fold higher increase of admi
nistrative costs compared to academic costs at UAF.  He hopes that they can present their response to the Faculty Senate at the next meeting.
\par 
\par Gary Holton, Pete Pinney, and Abel Bult-Ito are on the committee representing the faculty on the Provost's Commit
tee on Metrics.  Abel would like to thank faculty members Sue Hills, Norm Swazo, Jeff Freymueller, Eric Heyne, Kevin Winker, Matt Nolan, Cecile Lardon, and Dani Raap for providing very helpful and thoughtful comments.  Gary, Pete, and Abel will continue t
o update you on the progress of these UAF outcomes measures and request input on subsequent drafts.  The Provost has decided that in the first round UAF is going to focus on three areas:  high demand job 
programs, research, and student enrollment.  How these are going to be reconciled with the sets of measures you all had an opportunity to comment on is not clear.

The question is to what extent do you believe we should send the SW administration a message that finds this process unacceptable.  
Abel is willing to craft a resolution that will point out the deficiencies in the current process and that we reject the current process unless we get a structural decision making role in the process.  Would you support such a resolution?  Should he forwa
rd this to Faculty Affairs to get it ready for the next Faculty Senate meeting?
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par Jim Collins pointed out there are significant concern among the academic deans that they have not had input into these outcome measures.  He is concern about that and feels tha
t we are being handed these on a plate and being asked to accept them.  There are some measures that he would agreed with, but when we measure scholarship simply on the dollar amount of grants received and not look at publications or other measures it con
cerns him.  The academic deans need to be a bit more forceful in this regard and the faculty has to as well.   Another factor is that we have a number of outcomes and no inputs to compare them against.  
\par 
\par Steve Cysewski spoke about the goals assigned to the high demand job areas and he has no clue how they are going to contribute that amount of interest in that amount of time with the resources available.

ers.  This outcomes measure will be presented to the Faculty Senate for approval.  He would also like to involve the Provost's Council and ask them for input, so that hopefully we can come up with a measure that has broad support.  When approved at UAF, i

 will be forward it to the Faculty Alliance for their consideration for possible implementation at the Statewide level as well.  The effectiveness of the administration can significantly stimulate or impede faculty efforts.  So, therefore, any set of metr
\hich\af7\dbch\af4\loch\f7 i\hich\af7\dbch\af4\loch\f7 
cs should include an assessment of the effectiveness of the administration of the units involved.  More explicitly, the faculty are the university because we do the teaching and research and provide service to the community and the university.  The admini

\par Finally, the 2-year self-study progress report was turned in to the Accreditation Commission.  This repor
t addressed staff and faculty handbooks, student records, related instruction components of applied certificate and associate degree programs, and program review - assessment of student learning.
\par 
\par For the budget next year the best we can do is a 2.5% cut i
f the legislature gives us a 5% increase.  If we have flat funding we are looking at another 5% cut.  The provost is requesting input from the deans and directors on how they are going to deal with these budget challenges.  
\par 
\par At the Faculty Alliance retrea
t recently held with President Hamilton he remarked that he considered sending out pink slips to faculty members who had been here for less than two years.  That was vetoed by the Provost and Chancellor.  But, pink slips for those who have been here less 
than one year could still appear in February.   
\par 
\par Abel reported that some statements by Paul Reichardt about how we are going to change our institution to deal with a $25 million shortfall include the number of classes per faculty member could be increased.
  We could be more stringent on tenure and therefore have less people receive tenure and have more flexibility to play with faculty lines.  We could enforce class enrollment limits.  We could consider no general fund moneys for research salaries, so anyon
e with a joint appointment with a research institute might have to fund that salary from soft money.  He made a point that the quality is not necessarily proportional to the number of faculty in a unit.

 the web. One motion they will be acting on is to change the name of the ad hoc committee on Diversity and Tolerance to Workplace Ethics.

\par 
\par There is a plan to have a committee to draft a policy on academic freedom and speech.  Members include John Creed (UAF), Jim Liszka 
 (UAA), and Lynn Shepherd (UAS).   After they craft a statement it will go to the Senates and when passed by the Senate it will be forwarded to the Board of Regents for consideration.

Dan Odess indicated that this motion gives more flexibility to the faculty committee to req

\par 
\par John Ma spoke about the motion requiring graduate students to enroll at the 600-level of any stacked courses.  Rainer Newberry spoke against the moti
on.  Graduate students are allow 6 credits at the undergraduate level and there is no reason why they can not be the stacked courses.  It might be more appropriate for students from other programs to take the course at the 400-level.  Jennifer Reynolds in
d
icated that there seems to be two considerations for students to take a course at the 400-level instead of the 600-level.  One is financial and the other is the reduced work load.  Steve Cysewski stated that students may be taking a course for interest.  
J
im Collins indicated that they have a number of stacked courses and students in their program might be required by their Graduate Study Plan to take it at the 600-level and other students outside the program might take a course for interest at the 400-lev
e
l.  Dan Odess indicated that this decision should be made at the department level.  Abel Bult-Ito said that by requiring graduate students to take a stacked course at the 600-level you are reducing the number of 400-level courses they can select from and 
this has an effect of reducing enrollment in those courses.  The motion failed with 1 vote in favor.

\par The reconciliation committee met on October 15th consisting of Faculty Senate representatives Mark Box, Rich Collins, and P
eter McRoy.  Administrative appointments include Ted DeLaca, Roger Smith, and Mike Hostina.  The most serious objection to the proposal that the Senate passed is that it sets out eleven guidelines.  There is feeling that the guidelines create University r
egulations,
 which would infringe upon the President's discretionary powers granted by the Regents.  The suggestion was that the guidelines should be recast as considerations only.  The committee will draft a revision of the motion to bring before the Senate.
   Pete Pinney asked what the difference was between a consideration and guideline.  A guideline is prohibitory power and a consideration is merely a topic to be considered by the President.
