Presentation/Discussion: Student Evaluations
Dr. Bill Adams addressed t= he Senate regarding the revised instructor classroom evaluation forms. He poin= ted out that the question #3 from the old form was dropped. It had been proven that the question” The Instructor seems genuinely concerned with my progress in this course” is clearly stacked against the larger classes were an Instructor does not get to know students as well as they might in a smaller= class. It was also brought up that = the harder the course, the lower the score for question #3. The statistics showed = that 31% of the large classes were taught by tenure track faculty, 47% of the la= rge classes were taught by faculty with a terminal appointment and only 22% of large classes were taught by tenured faculty. Large classes were those of 50 stu= dents or more. The most vulnerable faculty were those teaching the largest classes = and they were generally the untenured faculty. It was finally suggested tha= t anyone who felt strongly about the question might want to include as an added question. Also, the war= ning to students that any comments added by the students will be seen by the Instructor was dropped as it does not leave room for the comments and the third major chan= ge is that strongly agree would be represented by a #6 and strongly disagree would be #0. The last standard question would allow the student to assign the Instructor a grade. The faculty would stil= l have the option of adding their own questions.&= nbsp; The new forms would be available by summer. After a lengthy discussion J= ohn Sutterby moved to accept the new evaluation instrument. It was seconded by Bill Davis. The motion to accept the new form passed. John Ronnau asked if students had any input on the new evaluation instrument. It was pointed out that students h= ad never been involved with Faculty evaluation forms. He asked that the new instrument b= e taken to the Student Government for review.

Senate President’s Report
Ms. Cantu had two items in her report.
V. =
Faculty Advisory Council (FAC) Report
There were ten items in the Faculty Advisory Council R= eport.
Presentations by FAC members to the Board of Regents w= ere well accepted. Therese Verklan presented on the nursing shortage, which is compounded by funding following enrollment and funding formulas that don’t support research; Robert Nelson presented on building a databas= e to match students and faculty with similar research interests; James Bartlett presented on plan for start-up fun= ds for grants that had high scores but were not funded.
Chancellor Yudof replied t= o these resolutions passed by FAC at the last meeting:
&nbs=
p; Resolution
re: support for mediation in disputes on campuses. Yes
&nbs= p; Resolution re: establishing an ombudsman. Yes President can appoint, T. Sullivan would have to approve.<= o:p>
&nbs= p; Resolution re: all faculty of the Telecampus must go throug= h the same faculty requirements as on -campus faculty if college credit is being offered. Yes
&nbs=
p; Resolution
re: tuition breaks. Will have to study costs. Remission of designated tuition is=
not
likely due to the expense.
&nbs= p; Resolution re: filtering software. Supports filte= ring. Electronic media standards task force developed guidelines for each campus. Campuses are free to = add additional measures.
Terms for Regents Rowling, Estrada, and Hunt will end =
this
year. The governor may extend their terms or appoint new regents. Academic
campus issues include 1) increase quality of undergraduate experience and r=
aise
four year graduation rate; 2) use auxiliary enterprise money to integrate
living and learning by placing classrooms and faculty offices in student
New general counsel wants to establish open communicat= ion via website and e-distribution of information about legal issues. He invites faculty to be “eyes and ears” and report issues and problems to him.
His goals are to: 1) communicate regularly with everyo= ne in the system, develop a quarterly newsletter of relevant information; 2) practice preventive law by atta= cking problems before they arise, be proactive not task based; 3) foster a mind set of creativity; and 4) further the mission of= each institution.
The THECB has moved to a more functional organization = vs. the previous sector based organization. Community colleges, undergraduate universities, and health schools are now under one area. There will not be = as much up front review when an institution wants to start a new program. THECB was given an accountability directive from the Governors office in Dec. 2004. The Board worked with presidents a= nd chancellors to develop an annual accountability system. Plans are to add a value-added mea= sure, but how that will be measured has not been determined. THECB hopes to be do= ing more policy and white papers based on statewide data they already have (stu= dent data, building information, class size data and faculty. Plans are to allow faculty access to the data to do research within FERPA guidelines.
Reported these recent legislative developments and priorities for legislation: 1) restored principal and interest on tuition revenue bonds after identifying that the legislature neglected to provide f= or interest payments; 2) work to restore the 5% for non-formula funding (special items); 3) seek funding for enrollment gro= wth, will need 24 million for the health institutions and 5.6 million for the academic institutions to be able to address enrollment growth; 4) create 300 more residencies for graduate medical education, c= an be a strategic way of addressing part of the Medicaid issue. Medicaid, which is 32% of the whole budget, is increasing by 12%/year and will soon be 50% of the state budget.=
UT Austin is preparing for a SACS review in 2008 and o=
ffers
these suggestions on new procedures for SACS review: 1) Quality Enhancement
Plan – what the institution intends to do regarding a particular area=
of
interest. SACS will expect a report at the end of 5 years. SACS is interested in the institut=
ion
doing something to enhance it. The topic should be chosen in discussions ac=
ross
campus. A&M has chosen assessment and UTEP has chosen research along the
border. 2) Campuses may want to consider completing a pre-audit to determin=
e if
there is anything that may need a year or more to be addressed. 3)
Institutional effectiveness: outcomes based assessment. What activities or
evidence do you have to show that students and faculty are learning/doing w=
hat
they need to be able to do. =
Document
changes that need to be made, then evaluate if the change was effective. Need to have evidence that changes
implemented have led to improvement. 4) Educational programs outcomes: Facu=
lty
should be involved in establishing learning outcomes and evaluation. 5) Educational undergraduate progra=
ms:
identify college level competencies within general education core. 6) Facul=
ty:
must be able to show documentation that faculty have
the qualifications and credentials applicable to the field in which they are
teaching. His PowerPoint presentation is posted on the Academic Senate webs=

under Reports.
Institutions reported on mentoring programs for junior
faculty and policies for the selection of upper-level administrators. Most institutions do not have a
mentoring program. A few have volunteer programs with various levels of
support: UT Austin, UT
Academic Affairs heard an update from Pedro Reyes of UT
System on CLAS (Collegiate Learning Assessment System), developed by the Ra=
nd
Corp, which measures critical thinking and writing. This exam was taken by a
sample of freshman at each UT system institution in the fall and will be ta=

by a sample of seniors in the spring. The intent is to develop a value-added
measure. Three institutions did not have enough freshmen take the test: UT

All resolutions were approved unanimously.

of Operating Procedures (HOPs) that pertain to =
topics
in which Regents’ rules provide that the faculty shall have a major r=
ole
in the governance of their respective institutions, must be approved by the
faculty governing body of that institution before being implemented.
The FAC reco= mmends that each campus have a written search policy for filling academic or health related, upper-level, administrative positions (e.g. department heads, directors, deans, provosts, VPAA). This policy should be developed jointly by the faculty governance bo= dy and the administration, and be approved by the campus faculty governance bo= dy. This document should identify those administrative positions on the campus = that are governed by this search policy, define what constitutes an “open” search to fill the position, specify the size and composition of each committee, specify how search committee members are nominated and appointed, and provide a set of General Procedures for commit= tee operation. Irrespective of th= e size of each committee, it is recommended that all academic or health related administrative position search committees have a majority of members who are non-administrative faculty. <= o:p>
Regarding Course and Instructor evaluations:
Faculty Quality committee requests: each campus bring policies on Sick Pool Leave (i.e., the sharing o=
f sick
leave hours with individuals who are undergoing catastrophic illnesses).
What is = your family leave policy and how is it funded (if funded)?
What is the policy at campuses to s=
upport
faculty on informal inquiries from state licensure boards?
What percentage of salary from rese=
arch
dollars is being required at your campus?
Under the SACS review, Neil Armstrong from U.T. Austin explained the quality enhancement program that must be in place for the five years review for SACS accreditation. = Our self study will be in the fall of 2007.
From the Academic Affairs committee on which Ethel ser= ves they had as a to-do list for the next meeting:
Chip = Dameron said that the new SACS requirements are more concerned with student outcome= s, a different requirement that before.

ATTENDANCE: Prof. Carol Collinsworth, =
Prof.
Nick Vallado, Prof. John McCabe
Opening Meeting: 9:30 a.=
m.
OLD BUSINESS:<=
/span>
Carol Collinsworth briefed attendees regarding their last meeting. The issues discussed were the foll=
owing:
&=
nbsp; 1.
Is there workload equity across campus? Are some facul=
ty
required to teach 15 hours and others 6 hours? Should there be more uniformity?
&=
nbsp; 2.
Is there release time equity and overload equity within departments
, schools, and across campus?
&=
nbsp; 3.
How are program directors compensated?&nbs=
p;
The amount that is currently being paid $800 has not been changed si=
nce
the days of TSC. The only inc=
entive
to be a program director is the release time involved if detailed reports a=
re
due for the program. This inc=
ludes
program coordinators.
Committee recommends program directors/coordinators get release time equally
across campus and that the pay be increase to the amount designated as over=
load
pay or more. Overload pay nee=
ds to
be increased in order to attract more part-time faculty or to encourage cur=
rent
faculty to teach a heavier course load.
&=
nbsp; 4.
How are both pay and release time figured for the department chairs? In the
early days it was a given that all chairs were to be given 6 hours per seme=
ster
release time. This rule has s=
ince
changed, therefore, the committee recommends department chairs be given a
minimum of six-hour release time.
Chair pay should be adjusted periodically to keep up with other facu=
lty
pay rates. Chair pay if ignor=
ed
becomes a disincentive for taking the chair job. Currently, some faculty that teach
summers can make more money in one session than the chair makes by being he=
re
two and teaching only one course.
&=
nbsp; 5.
How can faculty participate in the budget formation? How can they be involv=
ed
in the
&=
nbsp; budgeting process? Getting faculty interested in the =
budget
would require budgets to have more money to spend on travel, equipment, etc=
. in
order for faculty to show an interest in where the money is spent.
&=
nbsp; 6.
Are faculty informed as to how much money is available in the departmental
budget and
&=
nbsp; how this is spent? There is usually just enough or not
quite enough to make it through the school year to buy essentials.
Committee decided the faculty should be involved in this process how to get
them involved is still a question.
The committee recommends these items be addr=
essed
before putting together a budget.
NEW BUSINESS:
Prof. Collinsworth asked committee members as to what other items should be
addressed. Committee recommen=
ds
they consider summer school pay and how it’s figured. Consideration on the differences b=
etween
first summer session and second summer session pay should also be reviewed.=
It
would be easier to fill vacancy in the summer II if pay were equal for all
summer school classes taught.
Another alternative would be for faculty to be allowed to teach two =
of
the three semesters with a full load being taught each of two semesters. The
proposal would state that the faculty have a choice of teaching the spring
semester and summer sessions towards their full pay. Prof. Vallado=
explained this proposition was brought up years before and administration
tabled the issue stating it would not work with our current payroll
procedures. The
Travel allocation and maintenance & operation budget should also=
be
reviewed.
OTHER BUSINESS:
The new teaching positions were discussed.=
It would be interesting for the Vice President to address the Senate=
to
explain how new faculty are allocated to the different departments. Prof. <=
span
class=3DSpellE>Vallado also suggests Prof. Collinsworth bring the fa=
culty
sick leave procedures to the attention of the senate. Sick leave is to be charged by hal=
f or
whole days when the faculty member misses due to illness or other acceptable
reason for absence. Some
individuals can actually be charged 12 hours sick leave for being out one
day. Is the policy applied eq=
ually
across campus and what happens to sick leave when a person retires? Is it possible to use it the last =
year
before retirement?
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 A.M.

Responsibility Committee Report- Mr. Wade reported that the committee w=
as
formed by Academic Senate President
Three meetings have taken place with faculty, administration, and staff. Th= ese conversations have given the faculty on the committee an opportunity to hav= e an impact and hopefully influence the outcomes of things like Resaca habitat destruction, preservation and restoration. There has been no real conversat= ion in the other ER areas of recycling and energy conservation.
At this point in time, it is the understanding of comm= ittee members participating in these meetings that the following will occur:
The committee has also been informed of 2 interesting = facts:
The committee submitted a report of suggested changes = to the Campus Master Plan Palette to include more native plants and to delete plan= ts not suitable. That report is in the Appendix to these minutes.
VIII.
HOOP Policy 7.5.1- “Selection of Department Chairs and Academic
Program Directors
There was a discussion as to the required 2/3 quorum f=
or a
vote. Various items dis=
cussed
was the number of faculty eligible for a quorum, the length of time availab=
le
for nominations and then to vote.
It was pointed out by Domingo Molina that faculty can be absent from
campus for a week at a time or if during breaks from school even longer.

New Business
There was one item of “New Business”.
·
John Sutterby and Renee Rubin are
representatives from the
X. =
Provost’s Report
There were ten items in Dr. Martin’s report.
· John Ronnau is f= orming a task force to address transportation needs on campus. It is a fact that there will never= be enough parking where it is needed at any given time. Therefore, the task force wi= ll look into pedestrian traffic, bicycle traffic, the possible use of a shuttle from different parking areas and how traffic will flow on campus.
It was ann= ounced that due to the new bond package, parking will be increased
by 1200 spaces.
The new pedestrian bridge connecting the
Business a= nd Education building with the main campus will be strong enough
to support a golf cart. There is the possibility of construction a bridge from
the Village to the main campus. One question raised was that of hampering
any return of the sailing classes if the bridge was built. It would be built in
such a way as to allow sailing to be reinstated. It was also reported that three
more
lots had been purchased on
built.
·
· We are now in the process of completing a cooperative Title V grant proposal with TSTC. The grant will focus on the BAT an= d BAAS degrees to encourage both traditional and non traditional students who complete technical degrees to continue with a four year degree.
· The day of our Senate meeting there was a Te= xas Senate Subcommittee on Emerging Technologies and Economic Development on Campus. Senator Eddie Lucio and the Chair of the committee Senator Corona presided over the hearing. Testimony on our important role for a future biomedical industry in South Texas was presented by Dr. Emir Macar, De= an of the College of Science, Math, Technology and Dean Jim Holt of Workforce and Continuing Education.
·
Dr. Garcia is working hard for us in
· Dr. Garcia also attended a meeting with the = UT Regents on Tuition and Fees. = Both will be raised for the fall of 2005. = There will be a $5.00 increase in designated tuition, a $20.00 stude= nt health fee and a $2.00 International Student fee. There will be a flat fee of $2000 = for anyone taking 15 credit hours or more.&nbs= p; Hopefully, this will encourage students to take a heavier load. We are still the lowest cost in th= e UT system, only UTPA is lower in that their tuition is capped at 14 hours, but their other fees are higher.

· The Provost further reported that all nomine= es for the Border Doc loan repayment program have been conditionally approved = by the Coordinating Board. They = will receive $5,000 toward their educational loans if they complete their contra= cts this academic year.
· There was a Science Fair on campus and all t= hose involved as judges, etc. their help was greatly appreciated. There were approximately 350 proje= cts brought in by our local school children.
