\par 
\par We believe that the success of higher education in th
e 21st century will be judged by our ability to put forward a bold agenda that makes sustainability and the environment a cornerstone of academic practice.  -- University Leaders for a Sustainable Future.  
\par 
\par Integrating values of:  Ecology---Equity---Economy
\par 
\par Vision--UAF should be a living laboratory for successful integration of social, economic, and ecological goals in the circumpolar north, and a leader in academic programs which address sustainability across disciplines.  
\par 
\par UAF Sustainable Campus Issues--need to look at University Policy, Operational Changes, Research Initiatives, Community Engagement
\par 
\par University Policy:  signing Tallories declaration; incorporate LEED principles into campus buildings and construction; policy for environmentally preferable purchasing. 
\par 
\par Operational Changes:  Baseline assessment -- campus environmental audit; Waste reduction and energy efficiency; encouraging waste saving strategies on campus.  
\par 
\par Research Initiatives:  unanswered questions; input and feedback from faculty/staff/students; establish grant opportunities to encourage research; classroom engagement.
\par 
\par Community Engagement:  Campus transportation and housing; community design; integrating science, education, and public policy; increasing student opportunity for engagement in university, community and circumpolar issues.  
\par 
\par Assessment tools:  Ecological footprint or carbon footprint; cost/benefit analysis; university mission. 
\par 
\par Current Focus areas:  Policy commitment -- Tallories Declaration; assessment tools; environmental audit; waste reduction; transportation.  
\par 
\par Higher Education plays a critical role in creating and disseminating the knowledge, skills and values for society.  It has unique academic freedom and the critical mass and di
versity of skills to develop new ideas; comment on society and its challenges; and to engage in bold experimentation in sustainable living. --Anthony Cortese, Second Nature

\par B.\tab Allen Brandt - Student Academic Freedom
\par 
\par Allen Brandt, president of new campus club called Students for Academic Freedom.  He spoke about his concerns of academic freedom for students.  
\par 
\par Students for Academic Freedom is a national coalition of independent campus groups dedicated to restoring academic freedom and educational values to America's institutions of higher learning. 
\par 
\par Students for Academic Freedom is dedicated to the following goals:  
\par 1.\tab To promote intellectual diversity on campus. 
\par 2.\tab To defend the right of students to be treated with respect by faculty and administrators, regardless of their political or religious belief.  
\par 3.\tab To promote fairness, civility and inclusion in student affairs. 
\par 4.\tab To secure the adoption of the "Academic Bill of Rights" as official university policy.  
\par 
\par Allen Brandt urged the Faculty Senate to draft a policy that would insure that faculty are aware of their rights and responsibilities in the classroom.

\par 
\par }{\cf1 Pete Pinney indicated that the Faculty Senate will be co-sponsoring Sandra Elman, April 23-24.  She will make a presentation on Friday, April 23 from 1-2, in the media classroom, Rasmuson Library Room 340.  This will be video-conferenced.  Topic 
of her presentation is trends in higher education.

\par \tab B.\tab President-Elect 's Comments - Abel Bult-Ito
\par 
\par }{\cf1 Abel Bult-Ito's comments on the outcomes based budget were attached to agenda.  He forwarded responses that he received from faculty to Pat Pitney.  Her responses 
are attached.  His general impression is that while they are talking real communication is not taking place.  Paul Reichardt suggested that the Chancellor sit down with a group of faculty to talk about target and goals for UAF before they are presented to
 statewide.
\par   
\par Abel is disappointed with the lack of response from Pat Pitney and others involved.  Their responses do not take into consideration the special requirement of some of our small classes.  Abel asked for suggestions of what to do.  
\par 
\par Jennifer Reynolds had a response to the section on setting goals and targets.  Setting unrealistic goals is a bad thing because it distorts decisionmaking.  Abel indicated that he will probable step back from the issue because he feels that he has had no 
e
ffect.  Peter McRoy said that it has been good work because it has revealed an issue that many are not aware of who is setting policy and hopes that Abel will stay with it.  Karen Erickson questioned the lack of consequences of not reaching the goals.  Wh
i
le it is not stated budget cuts may be the consequence.  Dan Odess stated there is a lot of talking but no communication.  There is no give and take.  Maybe Chancellor Lind may be a better person to communication to Pat.  Jennifer Reynolds said there were
 
three statements in Pat's emails that were particularly important.  One was a reference to reallocation of existing resources and that was the only solution to the need for resources.  This may be a very significant outcome.  The other two statements incl
ude looking at other flagship institutes and UA may have to follow state measures.  
\par 
\par Abel expressed his concern that other faculty have worked on this and haven't gotten anywhere.  On the other hand it is being portrayed as faculty being involved in the pr
ocess.  While we have been involved there is has been no impact.  Pete Pinney indicated that they would bring this up with the Faculty Alliance.  UAF is not the only campus feeling certain frustrations.

\par \tab C.\tab Staff Council - Rory O'Neill
\par 
\par }{\cf1 Rory O'Neill, S
taff Council President, reported on a number of items they are dealing with at the system level through Staff Alliance and at the UAF.  The Ad Hoc Committee on Accountability and Sustainability will be sending out a report.  Vice-President Jim Johnson has
 met with a group of non-represented staff on a compensation task force to look at the various issues.  Many staff are looking forward to the new UAChoice health benefits program.  Open enrollment starts in April and runs for a month. 
\par 
\par There is a recogniti
on award for staff contributions to students called Make Students Count.  This is a President's level award.  Nominations for the UAF Chancellor's Recognition award are also open.  Rory encouraged faculty to nominate staff members for these awards.  

\par 
\par Staff Council is 100% behind ASUAF's initiative on glass recycling.  He would like to see this work for the community.  
\par 
\par At the system level there are two things they are working on.  There is Board of Regents policy for governance but that has been no UA regulations promulgated for governance.  Staff Alliance is pushing for formulation of university regulations.  
\par 
\par At UAF on April 6th is the staff longevity awards ceremony.  Rory encouraged everyone to attend.  This will strictly be longevity, some of the oth
er awards will be moved to a staff appreciation social on May 14th.  UAF day at North Pole is coming up and a number of department will make an appearance there.  UAF Human Resource director, Carolyn Chapman, has agreed to recognize governance participati
on in the personnel files.  It will represent something like training or service to the university.

\par V\tab Comments from Chancellor, Marshall Lind - 
\par 
\par Pete Pinney presented Chancellor Lind with another gift--a BS blocker to neutralize Senatorial accusations.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind would agree that Abel had done a very good job, a very thorough job on the outcomes assessment.  He would hope that Abel would stay involved in the process.  On the 15th of April he is supposed  to have some suggested figures 
for the targets and goals that will be discussed with President Hamilton.  There are five outcomes that we are looking at this year.  Two of them related to research.  We are trying to gather the data:  what is realistic in terms amounts, how much can we 
d
o, what has happened over the past few years.  Two are related to enrollment.  One is an enrollment issue of what can we reasonable project for UAF based on what we see in terms of high school graduates from the state, looking at our out-of-state enrollme
n
t, as well as retention.  The other outcome has to do with the jobs, referred to as graduates of High Demand programs.  Paul Reichardt has asked all the deans and program directors to gather information, so we can have some kind of reasonable assessment o
f
 what we can do.  He would like to have someone from the Senate work with them to finalize realistic targets for UAF.  It would like it to be as realistic as possible.  There is no point in going out with figures that are unrealistic--you raise expectatio
ns for things that may not happen.  The Senate has done a lot of preliminary work and now we need to take the next step.  
\par 
\par The Chancellor wished to share exciting news about the Sneddon chair candidate.  What impressed him about the individual was a note r
ecapping a dinner he had with the journalism faculty.  All of the discussion was about students.  He was very impressed with the commitment of faculty in that department.  Hopefully an offer will be made and we can move on with the other two endowed chair
s.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind stated that we didn't quite make what we had hoped to do, that was to come up with an agreement on classified research that we could hold up as a model that could easily be adopted by statewide.  What we did do by raising this issue, i
s elevate the question of classified research to the level where it should be.  That is, is it going to be a statewide issue.  It will result in a regulation that will be patterned after the Board's policy.  Much of what has been proposed will be the basi
s
 of the new regulation.  There was a meeting with President Hamilton, Craig Dorman, and others talking about what the UAF Senate has done and how it can apply on a statewide basis.  Chancellor Lind is very pleased that some things will happen and it is di
r
ectly related to the senate's interest and recommendations.  Much of your concern will be incorporated.  There will be a chance to discuss this through the Faculty Alliance.  That is the level it will now go.  There may be one or two incidents a year that
 
we think will have some classified research implication.  It is a good possibility that the first classified research question may come from Anchorage as it relates to their Logistics program.  This work will go forward and he wanted to thank the senate f
or their involvement.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind had an opportunity a couple of weeks ago to dedicate a new addition on the Bristol Bay campus.  It was dedicated to a former director, Peggy Woods.  They are still $1 million short and need additional funding to finish the building.  

\par 
\par One additional item deals with the College of Engineering proposal.  They will be going to the Board of Regents next week to talk about the creation of a College of Engineering and Mining.  They will be pulling all the engineering progr
ams together.  Also created would be a College of Science and Math.  The School of Mineral Engineering will not exist as a separate school.  We will not be reducing our efforts in the mineral engineering programs, but will be incorporated into the new Col
l
ege of Engineering and Mining.  There is some concern that with the reorganization they will be eliminating program.  That is not the intent.   We hope to strengthen those programs with a different organization.  We hope to have it in place by next fall. 
 
\par 
\par Peter McRoy commented that the Senate is not pleased with the result of the classified research policy and they will be forwarding a new policy.

\par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Paul Reichardt commented on the discussion on Outcomes Based Bu
dgeting and the effort to communicate with Pat Pitney.  This shows the fundamental problem of communication with statewide about productivity goals.  We always get into discussions about our lack of productivity and decline in productivity.  None of us ha
ve time to go back to the data and put together the argument from our standpoint.  We need to sit down with the raw data and come up with targets.  
\par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {At the Administrative Committee meeting Nicole M\u246\'9alder came with an issue about publication restrictions on 
papers that come from certain countries.  Paul has some material about the issue and will give it to Pete and Abel.  
\par 
\par The Provost then spoke on the Academic Performance Criteria.  He took this to the Provost Council and they have been working on it over t
he past several months.  Faculty involvement includes the 1/2 day retreat and Pete's involvement in the Provost Council.  He hopes over the next couple of months to come to a set of criteria to measure performance.  There may be some allocation of increme
ntal budget money based on performance.  He would appreciate input from faculty over the next month.  
\par 
\par The final item is an update on the Academic Development Plan.  There is not much change.  This version contains an expanded category on renewable natural
 resources to natural resources.  It also cleans up things in respect to opportunities and needs.  This will be used as a guideline over the next two or three years.  
\par 
\par Abel asked about a written response to the Budget report from last year.  He mentioned that Craig Wisen is coming up with another data set; however, it would still be appropriate to give a response to his report.  
\par 
\par Concerning the academic performance criteria, Abel asked if it was 
possible to see the data to compare the schools and colleges and see how the data works.  Paul indicated that he has held back on some of the data because he wanted to get what sounds like good criteria before everyone answers the question of how will my 
unit fare.

\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\tab A.\tab Motion on classified research policy, submitted by Faculty Affairs 
\par 
\par }{\cf1 Peter McRoy spoke about the actions of the reconciliation committee and this revised policy.  The Senate members of the committee were Mark Box, Rich Co
llins, and Peter McRoy.  The administrative members were Roger Smith, Ted DeLaca, and Mike Hostina.
\par 
\par What is before the Senate today is the revised policy prepared by the members of the reconciliation committee.  It is very similar to the original policy a
pproved by the Senate.  A change is that the review process applies to the faculty oversight committee.  There are three points brought forward:  1) establish a review committee; 2) the composition of that committee; and 3) the rule for review.  
\par 
\par Mark Box
 stated that the issue involves three aspects; there are questions of what is legal, practical, and what is good for the university and community.  What is good for the university and community has not been a significant part of our conversations.  We hav
e
 been tied up with the legalistic arguments.  The General Council insists that regulations listed in the policy passed by the Senate bind the president in a way that is incompatible with the control of classified research given to him by the Regent's poli
c
y. The council's overriding concern for the president's power distorts his reading of the policy he sites since the language of policy shows no concern for the president's power.  The Regent's were very concerned that any classified research be regulated 
p
roperly.  The president is required to promulgate university regulations that protect the basic tenets of university.  We need a review of proposals that does not allow the decision makers to shape the advice that they get.  Some of the regulations that w
e
 have proposed have to do with promotion and tenure and the treatment of students.  These are decisions that traditionally belong to faculty.  Mark urged senators to approve the policy before the Senate.  Pete Pinney indicated that the policy before the S
enate is a substitute for what was vetoed and was not able to come to a reconciliation.  
\par }{
\par Dan Odess asked Chancellor Lind what he felt was a productive way to proceed with a policy on classified research.  Chancellor Lind felt that the Senate should pass a
 policy, which reflects the desires of the faculty.  There are certain points that faculty feel very strongly about and they should not be lost.  All the different protections that will be in the best interest of the university need to be forwarded.  This
 
will be helpful to inform the next level of faculty concerns.  The process of promulgation a regulation will have a series of hearings.   This will be elevated to systemwide so that Faculty Alliance will become involved.  This opens it up to a whole lot o
f
 exposure.  I don't think all of these will be adopted, but the one of most concern stands a good chance for inclusion in the regulation.  Where the breakdown has been is in the legal realm.  He is optimistic that it will happen.  This will go to a level 
that will involve the Board of Regent's knowledge of this and the Faculty Alliance will be able to make comments to them.  
\par 
\par Abel asked the Chancellor if he would veto the motion.  Chancellor Lind indicated that he would not veto it as he would like to see it moved forward.  It will be forwarded without his signature.  The motion was approved unanimously.

\par }\pard \fi-360\li360\widctlpar\adjustright {1. The institutional officer charged with security oversight (the Facility Secu
rities Officer or equivalent) must be funded fully so that she or he can conduct a complete and thorough review of proposals and assess all the impacts of the proposed activity. Full funding of this office is the most important guarantee for the safety of
 the community, the protection of the academic environment, and compliance with federal requirements for security.
\par 
\par 2.  The UAF Faculty Research Oversight Committee must not only be independent but also seen to be so. The review panel members will not require a security clearance as they will review an unclassified report of the proposal that is prepared by the Facilit
y Securities Officer. The review committee will give a finding of advice to the chancellor. It is critical that the chancellor is not seen to be shaping the advice coming to her or him.
\par 
\par 3.  The senate must be able to meet its responsibilities so that the a
cademic integrity of the university is maintained in teaching, research, and service. A faculty review panel elected from the senate will enable the senate to meet these responsibilities.

\par }\pard \qc\widctlpar\adjustright {UAF Policy Concerning Classified and Proprietary Research
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par 
\par RATIONALE:  This policy is offered pursuant to Regents' policy 10.07.02, which says that the university may engage in classified o
r proprietarily research, subject to approval of the chancellor, "in accordance with Regents' Policy, University Regulation, applicable laws and regulations, and MAU rules and procedures."
\par 
\par Towards ensuring that classified and proprietary research will be 
conducted in a responsible and ethical manner consistent with mission of the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, this policy will provide the chancellor with findings on research proposals reached after a review by a duly constituted committee of faculty.

\par 
\par The Faculty Senate seeks a policy, in principle, of complete disclosure of research activities and sources of funds. The conduct of classified research inherently restricts participation of students and faculty who work on such research.
\par 
\par At times, freedom of
 discourse and dissemination conflicts with the greater, immediate needs of society. Research funded by industrial organizations may involve patent applications that require a short delay of publication of a thesis resulting from that research. Faculty me
mbers may also wish to act as consultants on classified research projects not involving the use of University facilities.
\par 
\par For reasons such as the above, proposals to conduct classified and proprietary research will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by th
e university campus chancellor. With disclosure to the Faculty Senate, an Faculty Research Oversight Committee will advise the chancellor by means of a finding arrived at by a review following the guidelines set forth below.
\par 
\par Basic Principles
\par 
\par The UAF mission statement proclaims that the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø is "the nation's northern most Land, Sea and Space Grant university and international research center, [which] advances and disseminates knowledge through creative teaching, resea
r
ch and public service with an emphasis on Alaska, the North and their diverse peoples" (BOR policy 10.01.03).  Through exercising the fulfillment of that mission, the university has made possible relationships with government and industry presenting intel
l
ectual and professional opportunities to faculty and students that they would not otherwise have. Concomitant with the open and full pursuit of that mission comes our understanding that the pursuit of knowledge must be tempered by ethical obligations to s
ociety; hence our concern with an ethical approach to permitting classified and proprietary research on campus.
\par 
\par Definitions
\par 
\par }{\i Classified Research}{: Research that has a security classification established by a federal agency.  Various agencies of the federal 
government may designate some federally sponsored research project, either all or a portion of a particular project, as Top Secret, Secret, or Confidential.  Under the terms of this policy, research projects so designated are considered classified.
\par 
\par }{\i Proprietary Research}{: Industrially sponsored proprietary research for which the sponsor requires a delay in publication of the results after submission of the final report.
\par 
\par Faculty Research Oversight Committee
\par 
\par The Faculty Senate shall establish a Faculty Resea
rch Oversight Committee as a standing committee of the senate to review all classified and proprietary proposals, grants, and contracts according to the guidelines listed below and to advise the chancellor of their compliance or lack thereof with universi
t
y policy.  Membership on the committee shall be limited to 9 senators, with no more than 2 members being from the same unit.  A Facilities Security Officer shall be an ex-officio member of the committee.  The committee will also include someone from the O
ffice of Sponsored Research and a designee of the chancellor as ex-officio members.  Committee membership must broadly represent the university community.
\par 
\par 
\par Guidelines for the Faculty Research Oversight Committee for Reviewing Classified or Proprietary Research Proposals
\par 
\par Proposal review requires that each principal investigator prepare a short non-classified or non-proprietary description and title for the project that can be publicly reviewed.  The following will apply to such statements.  The Facilities S
ecurity Officer must participate in the review process to clarify questions pertaining to classified material.
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {1.  The university will undertake only those contracts and activities that do not compromise the safety and/or well being of Alaskans and that honor existing agreements with the diverse peoples of Alaska.
\par 
\par 2.  The university will under no circumstances enter into any agreement or contract for which the direct primary purpose of the research or application of the results is the destruction of human life or harm to humans.
\par 
\par 3.  The university will make every reasonable effort to keep classified information and activities separate from the normal academic functions of the university.
\par 
\par 4.  No thesis or project that may not be published because it contains federally classified or proprietary information will be accepted toward fulfillment of the requirements for an advanced degree.
\par 
\par 5.  For proprietary research the university will not enter into or renew any contract or accept any grant that prohibits th
e open publication or dissemination of research results within a reasonable period, typically (and expected to be) no more than 60 days or a period negotiated at the time of contract initiation.
\par 
\par 6.  No university courses given for degree credit shall be classified in any part.
\par 
\par 7.  The university will not accept any contract that cannot be publicly acknowledged. The university will maintain an open record of all classified and proprietary research contracts.
\par 
\par 8.  The university will permit the participatio
n of faculty members in classified research of their choice by means of normal consulting arrangements or leaves of absence without pay. Faculty shall not use classified research work in consideration for tenure, promotion, or post-tenure review.
\par 
\par 9.  Any unique security costs associated with classified or proprietary research will be borne by the unit within which the contract is sponsored.
\par 
\par 10. The university will establish and maintain Facilities Security Officers to the degree necessary to ensure the legal compliance of all classified agreements.
\par 
\par 11. The Faculty Research Oversight Committee will offer changes to this policy as needed through periodic reviews occurring no less than once every 5 years.
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par 
\par Review Process for Classified and Proprietary Research Proposals
\par 
\par }\pard \li360\widctlpar\adjustright {The following procedures shall apply to all proposals submitted to the Office of Sponsored Programs.
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par 1.  The Office of Sponsored Programs will use a checklist to determine if a project requires formal review by the Faculty Research Oversight Committee.
\par 
\par 2.  The Faculty Research Oversight Committee will review proposals identified as classified or proprietary according to the guidelines given above and offer recommendations to the chancellor in an expedited fashion.
\par 
\par 3.  The committee will publish an annual report on the status of classified and proprietary contracts, grants and proposals at UAF to the Faculty Senate.
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par 
\par Obligation
\par 
\par The university guarantees each member of the academic community the freedom to inquire and affirms the right of e
ach member to access all available information in his or her field. A basic function of the university is to carry out research in an open and unrestricted manner with complete freedom to publish or otherwise disseminate the results of its search for know
l
edge.  The requirements of secrecy and restrictions on freedom to publish, which are inherent in security classification, or the restrictions on dissemination, which derive from proprietary rights of privately sponsored research, are in direct opposition 
to this function.
\par 
\par Exercising this function does not, however, prohibit self-imposed restrictions based on the professional ethics of a particular discipline. It also does 
not prohibit the existence of classified information to reside on campus such as sometimes arises, for instance, in connection with consulting work. This policy is directed towards maintaining a separation between classified information and the teaching a
nd research functions of the university.

\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 Peter McRoy spoke about the need for this resolution.  It came about because university practice is to withhold registration for people who o
we on parking tickets.  This should not be a de facto qualification for registration.  Tim Stickel asked if there had been any discussion with the Business Office as they are the ones who put on the holds.  They, of course, have to enforce them.  Discussi
o
ns with the Business Office indicated that they put a hold on faculty, staff, and students.  It does not distinguish between parking, library books, or any other thing.  Tim asked that the Business Office also be added to the resolution.  The motion with 
this change passed without objection.

\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Whereas current University practice does not allow a person to register for a class if there is an outstanding parking ticket even if the ticket is being contested, and

\par Whereas students are being denied access to the University because of this practice, now
