\par IV\tab Comments from Chancellor, Marshall Lind - 
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind spoke about the commencement ceremony that will take place this weekend.  Honorary degrees will be given t
o four recipients including Corey Flintoff, John Burns, David Salmon, Jaroslav Nesetrill.  Commencement activities will take place in our other communities at other dates.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind indicated they are in the final stages for the IAB Director.  The Athletics Director is in the final stages.  They have completed phone interviews and hope to have finalists
 on campus within the next week.  They are in the screening stage for the Dean of Enrollment Management.  The Registrar's recruitment is underway.  And, the Deanship of SALRM should be finalized within the next week.
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind spoke with representatives in Juneau to find out the latest in terms of the budget.  It is still to early to tell.  There are indicators that something might happen to the 
general bond issues.  They include the bioscience building, the West Ridge Research Building, and Lena Point.  Another bond issue speaks to the deferred maintenance needs, especially in the rural locations.  It might also include some money for helping TV
C in the event of a relocation.  It is a good possibility there will be some general obligation bond opportunities up for the voters.  
\par 
\par We are also watching the work of the conference committee for the operating budget.  There are two figures--one from eac
h side--$0 and $8 million dollars.  Hopefully the $8 million dollars will prevail.  It is a long way from the $16.9 million that we need.  
\par 
\par Chancellor Lind was asked about the initiatives for FY04.  They are waiting to see how the FY03 initiatives are funded.  SAC has been given the charge to look at this as soon as we see what the budget turns out to be. 
\par 
\par We are moving ahead on the West Ridge Research Building.  We are going to be paying for it ourselves with some of the overhead cost recovery.  In addit
ion we hope for $2 million dollars from the legislature.  We need the building and hope to open in October 2004.  The Music department will relocate to Harwood Hall during the renovation of the Fine Arts Building.  There will be a rededication of the Broo
ks Building in September.  They hope to move into it this summer. 
\par 
\par There is a challenge to find additional dollars for two projects that have gone out to bid.  The costs came in so high that we can't deal with them with the existing dollars.  One is the cla
ssroom addition for the Bristol Bay campus.  The other is a Learning Center at Fort Yukon.  We will be looking at other sources of funding.  
\par 
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {\tab Guest Speaker - Craig Dorman, Vice President for Research
\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Craig Dorman indicated that he has had the opportuni
ty to meet a number of faculty and appreciates the opportunity to address the Senate today.  He would like to meet informally with anyone else.  He has spent a large amount of time in research and education.  He has been in 黑料社appfor two months.  As a me
mber of statewide he had been to Anchorage and Juneau to meet with faculty.  
\par 
\par The direct responsibility for management of research and education lies with the individual MAU's and faculty members.  He will be working through the administrations to assist them in helping faculty do their jobs better.  He does believe
 in strategies and planning.  There is an opportunity for enhanced collaboration.  It is better for all of us if we are working together.  To that end, he has taken a couple of steps.  He has asked
 the three provosts for nominations for a systemwide  research advisory council.  He hopes that a council of that nature can advise him on what the needs are for research and what some of the concerns are including research climate, support for research
, the need for facilities, positions, how we manage and handle our indirect cost recovery, etc.  There is a  whole range of issues.  
\par 
\par The second reason for doing that is because of a resolution before the  joint state legislature.  It talks about a jo
int federal-state research and development plan.  It will put the university in a position to help define in terms of both state and federal initiatives those items we should be spending our time on most directly to help the state.  
\par 
\par His personal philosop
hy is that in a major research institution, such as the University of Alaska, it is important to focus first on the need of the science itself.  Part of that means providing facilities, maintaining excellence in areas that are appropriate and unique to th
e nature of the institution, maintaining the capacity to support science as a whole.  Secondarily, its important for a state university to be very responsive to the needs and interests of the state.

Ann Tremarello said working with the Faculty Senate over the years has been very rewarding for her.  Retention is going to be very important for UAF over the next few years.  Faculty are so important for retention.  What makes the difference is the teachi

\par 
\par Derek Miller said that they have finalized the budget for ASUAF of approximately $400,000.  It includes three major items including the KSUA-TV station.  This will be a student run television station.  Also included is increased 
funding for the Sun Star newspaper.  They are looking at adding color and increasing the quality.  A student assistant Leadership Coordinator position has been established for next year.  For the first time ever, they were able to include
 items for TVC such as coffee and tutors.  
\par 
\par The blood drive was very successful with 162 people participating and 116 unit collected. They were happy to provide that service.  
\par 
\par The student senate passed a resolution supporting the curriculum, advising, and program planning (CAP).  This will be presented to the Chancellor and the Provost.   A copy will go to the Faculty Senate leadership.  They also passed 
a resolution making Joe Hayes the first ASUAF president-emeritus.  He has done so much for ASUAF, for students in general at UAF, and the whole university.  He has continued his support for the university.

\par \tab C.\tab President's Comments - N. Swazo
\par 
\par Norm Swazo asked who had received a letter from former faculty member Mr. Sengupta.  He responded to M
r. Sengupta denying his request for a resolution from the Faculty Senate.  He did so having investigated the U.S. Supreme Court disposition and the 黑料社appSupreme Court decision.  The University of 黑料社appprevailed on all counts forward from the initial g
r
ievance procedure hearing through the litigation to the Supreme Court.  There was clearly no basis in Senate policy and procedure, no basis in university policy and procedure for the Senate to take action.  A letter has been transmitted to Mr. Sengupta in
forming him of that decision.  
\par 
\par The evaluation of administrators has been ongoing.  This is the first time we are using the new policy on review.  The review of the Dean of the Graduate School Joe Kan has been completed.  The Provost has meet with the ad h
oc committee and the Faculty Appeals and Oversight Committee and he is preparing his own final supervisor's comments.  Dean Kan has announced his retirement at the end of the next academic year.  
\par 
\par The second dean undergoing review is Dean Vera Alexander. 
 It is moving slower and they hope to have their review completed later in May.  Norm Swazo expects that since members of the Faculty Appeals & Oversight committee may not be present to meet in joint
 session with the ad hoc committee conducting that review, the Provost may choose  to meet with the Administrative Committee when that report becomes available.  
\par 
\par Provost Reichardt is due to be reviewed next year.  
\par 
\par Godwin Chukwu spoke about the current evaluation of Dr. Kan and indicated that the process is still on going.  He pointed out that the process and guidelines that were put together last year are working very well.  
\par 
\par Norm Swazo, on behalf of the Faculty Senate, presented to Sheri Layral a certificate of appreciation for outstanding service during academic year 2001-2002.  Godwin Chukwu and Jane Weber presented a gift certificate and card.

l
oyer event on this campus.  There were 70 employers and 1,150 applicants.  The Faculty Senate co-sponsor a reception for the employers and faculty and staff.  This provided a great opportunity to network with employers.  Employers said they had  three top
 
skills they are looking for when recruiting at UAF:  communication, work ethics, and a positive attitude.  Technical skills are further down the list.  They want someone they can teach, that they can talk to, and that is going to have the right attitude a

\par Other Than Assignment of Grades
\par }\pard \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par 
\par I.  Introduction
\par 
\par The University of 黑料社appis committed to th
e ideal of academic freedom and so recognizes that academic decisions (i.e., non-admission to or dismissal from any UAF program) are a faculty responsibility. Therefore, the University administration shall not unduly influence or affect the review of acad
emic decisions that are a faculty responsibility.
\par 
\par The following procedures are designed to provide a means for students to seek review of academic decisions alleged to be arbitrary and capricious. Before taking formal action, a student must attempt to reso
lve the issue informally. A student who files a written request for review under the following procedures shall be expected to abide by the final disposition of the review, as provided below, and may not seek further review of the matter under any other p
rocedure within the university.
\par 
\par 
\par II.  Definitions
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li360\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
A.  As used in the schedule for review of academic decisions, a class day is any day of scheduled instruction, excluding Saturday and Sunday, included on the academic calendar in effect at the time of a re
view. Final examination periods are counted as class days.
\par 
\par B.  "Department Chair" for the purposes of this policy denotes the administrative head of the academic unit offering the course (e.g., head, chair or coordinator of an academic department, or divi
sion coordinator or program chair if the faculty member is in the College of Rural Alaska).
\par 
\par C.  The "dean/director" is the administrative head of the college or school offering the course or program from which the academic decision or action arises. For s
tudents at extended campuses the director of the campus may substitute for the dean/director of the unit offering the course or program.
\par 
\par D.  The next regular semester is the fall or spring semester following that in which the disputed academic decision wa
s made.  For example, it would be the fall semester for a final grade issued for a course completed during the previous spring semester or summer session.  The spring semester is the next regular semester for an academic decision made during the previous 
fall semester.
\par }\pard \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par 
\par III.  Procedures
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li360\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 A.  A student wishing to appeal an academic decision other than a grade assignment must first request an informal review of the decision.
\par }\pard \li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 1.  Notification must be received by the Provost within 15 days from the first day of instruction of the semester in which the decision takes effect.
\par 
\par 2.  There may be extenuating circumstances when the deadlines cannot be met due to illness, mail disruption, or other situations over which the student may have no control. In such a case,
 upon request from the student, the Provost, after review of supporting documentation provided by the student, may adjust the deadlines accordingly. An extension of the deadline will be limited to one semester but every effort should be made to complete t
he appeal process within the current semester.
\par 
\par 3.  The Provost will request the appropriate department chair to conduct an informal review of the decision. The Department chair will determine whether the original decision should be overturned or changed in
 any way. The department chair will submit his/her recommendation to the provost through the dean/director within 10 days. In the event that the department chair is directly involved, the provost can ask the dean/director to conduct an informal review and
 submit his/her recommendations directly to him.
\par 
\par 4. The Provost will consult with the student on the department chair's recommendation. If the student does not find that recommendation acceptable, he/she may request the Provost to conduct a formal review.
\par }\pard \li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 B.  The formal review will be conducted as follows.
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 1.  This formal review is initiated by the student through a signed, written request to the Provost.
\par }\pard \li720\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li1080\ri720\widctlpar\adjustright {\cf1 a.  The student's request for formal review may be submitted using university forms specifically designed for this purpose and available from the Office of the Provost.
\par 
\par b.  By submitting a request for a review, the student acknowledges that no additional mechanisms exist within the university for the formal review of the decision, and that the universit
y's administration including the college dean/director can not influence or affect the outcome of the formal review.
\par 
\par c.  The request for a formal review must be received no later than 10 days after the student has learned the outcome of the informal review (IIIA4).
\par 
\par d.  The request must detail the basis for the allegation that the decision was made on a basis other than sound professional judgment based upon standard academic policies, procedures and practices.

\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {
\par 1.      The review (in the broadest sense) of the performance of administrators is an important complementary activity to the review of faculty.  Both groups 
contribute to the advancement of the University when they carry out their respective responsibilities effectively, and either can seriously interfere with the proper functioning of the University as a whole when they perform ineffectively.
\par 
\par 2.      The var
ious peer reviews of faculty, including the mentoring of untenured faculty, promotion, and tenure review, and post-tenure review as well as continuing, in-depth contact with students equip UAF faculty with a unique and comprehensive understanding of the g
eneral health of the University and its actual progress in meeting its stated goals.
\par 
\par 3.      In a system of shared governance, the administrative function includes a critical catalytic role which, when performed well, results in the accomplishments of academic units surpassing the sum of individual faculty effort.
\par 
\par 4.      UAF faculty are in a unique position to offer insights on the effectiveness of academic administrators of particular and campus-wide programs at UAF. They can readily see whether their ef
forts to teach, conduct research, and provide professional services are enhanced, not affected, or compromised by academic administrators.
\par 
\par 5.      Faculty input into periodic reviews of academic administrators is provided for, although the system for accomplishing reviews is relatively new and lacking in a record of experience upon which to make judgments.
\par 
\par 6.      As responsible members of the academic community, UAF faculty have an inherent responsibility, when circumstances indicate that academic progra
ms and the health of the University are being impacted negatively by the behavior and decisions of State-wide administrators and their immediate staffs, the UAF chancellor and provost and their immediate staffs, and deans and directors and their immediate
 staffs to initiate the passage of a vote of no-confidence or censure.
\par 
\par 7.      When, in the considered opinion of the majority of the Faculty Senate, an administrative decision or series of decisions are seriously harmful to the health and future of the Un
iversity, the Senate may pass a vote of no-confidence or censure of the administrator or administrators making and carrying out such harmful decisions.  Such a petition to the Senate should include precise delineation and documentation of the problem and 
the attempts undertaken to mediate and resolve the problem before asking the Senate to pass a motion of censure.
\par 
\par 8.      After the submission of a petition to the Senate, the Senate should appoint an Ad hoc committee to investigate the allegations and make
 recommendations for a final attempt for resolving the situation before turning the matter over to the full Faculty Senate for discussion and passage of censure.

\par \tab J.\tab Motion to amend the UAF Policies & Regulations for the Appointment and Evaluation of Faculty, submitted by Administrative Committee
\par 
\par Godwin Chukwu introduced the motion and asked Norm Swazo to comment.  Norm Swazo spoke about the problems that the promotion and tenure committees had during this 
year's review.  The deletion of much of the material from the 1997 "Blue Book" has resulted in a lack of critical material necessary to evaluate files.   Major changes in the 2000 version were made
 with the assumption that the collective bargaining agreements would address these points and that is
 not the case.  What we did was look at language in the collective bargaining agreements, as well as what current practice has been at university-wide committees in particular and make appropriate changes.  Also, we took into account that the ACCFT 
CBA refers only to the 1997 version of the "Blue Book." 
\par 
\par References to ACCFT in the new version are to minimize confusion amongst faculty about what the procedure is for United Academic's faculty as opposed to ACCFT faculty.  W
hat is in there referencing ACCFT is adopted from the 1997 version and does not change that.  As a result of some issues this year, it turns out that it is unclear what we are to do when there is a reorganization and previous unit criteria are perhaps no 
longer valid.  With all those needs in mind, Provost Reichardt asked if we could move on this now so that we would have something in place for the fall.  
\par 
\par Ron Illingworth spoke about the changes that refer to the ACCFT collective bargaining agreement.  
There are items that are added in that seem to apply only to ACCFT members, but don't need to be added in because they are outside the CBA.  He suggested that the Senate accept the changes as provided with the opportunity, before fall, to make a revision 
t
o the document.  He asked that the Administrative Committee be empowered to make any changes to the document that they feel need to be made to respond to concerns of ACCFT members.   Changes approved by the Administrative Committee can be brought before t
he Senate in September.  The motion passed.

\par \tab K.\tab Motion on Classified Research, submitted by Faculty Affairs 
\par 
\par Peter McRoy addressed the motion which the Faculty Affairs Committee has been discussing for many months.  The committee started with a draft motion from Norm Swazo.  We have had a number of meetings, talked to individual faculty, had a visit
or from MIT, and based on that we have revised the initial motion to deal with the issue of classified research at this university.  Norm Swazo moved to postpone the motion indefinitely.  It was seconded by Debi McLean-Nelson.  Norm Swazo spoke about his 
r
easons for the postponement which include:  1) The main motion as submitted by the Faculty Affairs Committee is so flawed that those flaws cannot be effectively and judiciously handled by way of a series of amendments from the floor in the time we have fo
r
 business today.  2) I choose to move to postpone indefinitely rather than choose to move to refer to committee because the motion submitted for action today by the Faculty Affairs Committee demonstrates that the members of the committee are either unwill
ing or incapable of engaging the more difficult task of sorting through the applicable regulations that are to guide and establish university norms, hence the committee\rquote 
s request that the Chancellor appoint yet another committee to undertake this task.  3) 
I choose to move to postpone indefinitely because despite all the preamble and context set forth in the main motion, the only action taken there is to request that the Chancellor establish a committee to identify and set forth university norms governing c
lassified research \endash 
 a request which this Senate may, but need not make, given that the Senate bylaws already authorize the President of the Senate to appoint ad hoc committees.  Clearly, (a) if the Faculty Affairs Committee is not up to the task of complet
ing its charge to establish an effective policy/procedure governing classified research and (b) the President of the Senate can even now appoint an ad hoc committee to this task without need of making this an official request of the Chancellor, then the S
e
nate is better served by postponing the main motion indefinitely and letting the appointed ad hoc committee engage the issues thoroughly.  4) Finally, I choose to move to postpone indefinitely the action proposed by the Faculty Affairs Committee because t
he motion I introduce today makes it quite clear that this institution is in no way ready to absorb the impact of classified research given the regulatory developments at the federal level now proposed and under review at the Department of Defense.
\par 
\par Roger S
mith responded to the comments saying that the committee did not deal with the matter in the way the President asked because this matter requires a properly constituted committee to consider.  It needs the opinions to be expressed from all units which cou
l
d be affected by these regulations that are planned to be put in place.  The Faculty Affairs Committee did not have such a constitution.  It is important that the body of faculty that consider this matter have representation from all areas that are intere
s
ted.  Peter McRoy indicated that the committee did feel that they were not capable of dealing will all of the issues because of the size of the committee and it needed that responsible group appointed by the Senate and the Chancellor as a permanent commit
tee to deal with the important issues of classified research.  They thought they could put together a policy of how they are going to do it.  Norm Swazo stressed that it is the responsibility of the Faculty Affairs Committee 
to establish faculty policies affecting scholarly activity and re
search.  The Faculty Affairs Committee could have asked for additional members or for this issue to be reassigned to an ad hoc committee.  Peter McRoy stated that the committee did what they were charged to do and that this is the policy.  The motion to p
ostpone indefinitely failed with a vote of 6 yes and 13 nays. 
\par 
\par Further discussion on the original motion continued.  Abel Bult indicated that this motion sets up a framework to establish a committee to put down norms and policies for UAF to deal with the c
lassified research.  Norm Swazo stated that he finds this inadequate even if amended.  What is intended is to adopt a procedure, which somehow allows us to establish a framework for classified research, which then yields a UAF policy.  It seems this estab
lishes a three step process that accomplishes nothing in the near term.  
\par 
\par Roger Smith stated that this motion address the university's need for a statement of acceptable limitations on freedom to conduct research.  That is, not all types of research are pe
rmissible.  The university needs an efficient mechanism to intercept research proposals or contracts which stray outside acceptable limitations.  That is what the committee set out to do.  Care also needs
 to be taken to avoid unnecessary interference with a
cceptable proposals or contracts which do not fall outside the limitations which we would propose.  What we believe as a committee is to form a partnership between faculty and the administration and that is the basis of this motion.  What is needed is som
e
 way which makes the mechanism work smoothly and yet sorts out those proposals or contracts which apply restrictions on publication or on the conducting of research by people who are foreign nationals.  It may take a little longer but it is an important f
r
amework to put in properly.  Abel Bult indicated that the norms the committee form will be approved by the Faculty Senate.  When asked what amendments Norm Swazo could propose to make this motion acceptable, Norm responded that it would take a significant
 amount of time to make the series of amendments necessary to move this forward.  He had proposed establishing a committee which would also be an oversight committee reviewing proposals.  He had specifically 
 made reference to the need of the Senate to deal with 
the problem of classified research involving weapons production, weapons research and development, etc.  When asked if he would like to propose a motion to refer this back to committee, Norm Swazo responded that he has tried to stay out of the committee d
iscussion granting Senator Bristow's request that we let the Faculty Affairs Committee deal with the issue.  Another reason is that some people feel he is too pushy on this topic as evident by a comment written on the agenda posted in the library.  
Next to his name was written the words "UAF Taliban."  He does not wish to see this referred to committee again.  He prefers that the motion be voted up or down and recommends that this particular motion not be moved forward.  
\par 
\par Mike Davis commented that the scientific community was well represented on the Faculty Affairs Committee and that the motion is reflective of that.  But, he concurs that for this issue
 a wider group of people be involved in adopting a policy of what we are going to do on classified research.  It is his intention of not voting for this motion because of some of the concerns raised.  Having a wider group involved in the adoption of a pol
icy will be beneficial for the university.

\par L.\tab Motion on Classified Research, submitted by Norm Swazo.
\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Norm Swazo proposed a motion to 
suspend the approval of all  classified research project on this campus.  We need to taking into account the regulatory context that is very significant for classified research conducted at any university.  We need to be very careful about what we do with
 classified research because the National Industrial Security Program manual is essential to however we conduct ourselves on classified research.  Norm Swazo also referenced the article in }{\i The Chronicle of Higher Education}{
.  We need to pay special attention
 to all Department of Defense funded contracts when the ideal of fundamental research is subject to dispute.  With the challenges facing us we would be prudent if we move to suspend approval until we see that the appropriate regulations are in place.  

\par }\pard \ri540\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Ro
n Illingworth indicated that this motion is to suspend approval of classified research until adoption of procedures and we have just defeated a motion to entertain development of any such regulation.  We have to do something to address the second part of 
t
his motion.   Norm Swazo indicated that within the Office of Research Integrity there is a committee that is responsible for addressing issues of regulatory compliance.  John Blake, Director of the Office Research Integrity, responded that their office fa
c
ilitates the activities of five faculty run research compliance committees.  A research integrity committee was created by Ted DeLaca which has the chairs of the five committees.  In addition to that we have representation from other areas.  They have rev
i
ewed the NISP manual and clearly the compliance requirements for conducting classified research are fairly complicated.  Joan Leguard asked a number of questions on the establishment of procedures and who should be involved and the review of individual pr
oposals.  John Blake stated that the establishment of procedures and whether the university should be involved in classified research should be a shared discussion between faculty and administration. 
\par 
\par Norm Swazo recommended that the Senate adopt the motion
 put forward not only because of the rationale, but because of two other issues.  To the extent that classified research will be conducted by faculty within the United Academics, the CBA has an article governing the
 dispute resolution process.  We are barely 
at a point of how to articulate that section of the CBA with the scientific misconduct regulations mandated by the Department of Health and Human Services for all such sponsored research.  Classified research presents additional difficulties.  We have not
 sorted out all the details and until we do so we place our faculty and this institution in significant legal jeopardy,  The proposal to suspend gives us time to think more about what we are doing.  
\par }\pard \ri540\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \ri90\widctlpar\adjustright {Peter McRoy felt that the previous proposal that was put
 together was exactly the kind of procedure that John Blake talked about for classified and proprietary research.  He, therefore, proposed an amendment of the motion under item 2 to include the previous motion as the regulations and procedures to be follo
w
ed.  Abel Bult indicated that for both motions there was no definition of classified research.  Norm Swazo spoke against the amendment.  Classified research is defined by the Department of Defense in terms of the various levels of secrecy and clearance.  
The regulations that are going to have to be put into place are largely the regulations outlined in NISP.  That is not what we have in the previous motion.  The amendment failed by a vote of 3 yes and 12 nays.

\par 
\par }\pard \qj\fi-720\li1440\widctlpar\adjustright {RATIONALE:  Federal regulations governing classified research carried out in U.S. institutions of higher education are set forth in the }{\i National Industrial Security Program}{
 (NISP) manual distributed by the U.S. Department of Defense.  An institution of higher education may not conduct classified research unless the regulations set forth in this man
ual are adopted and implemented at such institutions.  UAF, as a research university, is an institution of higher education.  Therefore, UAF is obligated to demonstrate that it is compliant with these regulations.  As of the date of this motion, UAF is no
t compliant with NISP and, in fact, according to the Vice Provost for Research, has recently failed a security review.
\par 
\par }\pard \qj\li1440\widctlpar\adjustright {Moreover, according to a report issued in }{\i The Chronicle of Higher Education}{ (April 24, 2002; http://chronicle.com/ daily/2002/04/20020424
01n.htm), the U.S. Department of Defense "is considering new restrictions on research sponsored by the military, including the possibility of imposing criminal sanctions against individuals who publish }{\b unclassified}{ studies involving basic research
\u8230\'c9The proposed rules, detailed in a 110-page document titled 'Mandatory Procedures for Research and Technology Protection Within the DOD' are under review within the military." (bold letter-emphasis mine)  The new procedures as drafted \ldblquote 
potentially [include] all unc
lassified science and technology", with required "authorization to disclose [unclassified] research findings or results."  "Sharing such information without clearance could lead to administrative sanctions or criminal penalties, even for work defined as f
u
ndamental research."  It should be noted that the proposed inclusion of "fundamental research" in the draft regulations revises the current exemption for fundamental research allowed under ITAR and EAR.  In light of this latest regulatory development, UAF
 
needs to proceed cautiously and avoid committing itself to Department of Defense funded projects as well as classified research projects that may impose additional restrictions on the conduct of open science and subject faculty to additional criminal and 
administrative sanctions governing }{\b unclassified}{ fundamental research.

\par 
\par \tab A.\tab Curricular Affairs - R. Illingworth
\par 
\par A report was attached to the agenda.  The following committee meeting report was distributed as a handout.  Ron Illingworth spoke about the committee's acceptance of the name change of admission status "undeclared" to "general studies."  
\par 
\par Minutes, Curricular Affairs Committee, 2 May 2002
\par 
\par }\pard\plain \s22\widctlpar\adjustright \cf1\cgrid {\b\f7 Members Present}{\f7 :  Carol Barnhardt, Eduard Zilberkant, James Gladden, Ann Tremarello, Gayle Gregory, Wanda Martin, Gary Holton, Michael Hannigan, Ronald Illingworth, and David Woodall.
\par 
\par The meeting was audioconferenced as some members of the committee are at rural sites.
\par 
\par }\pard\plain \qj\widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {The committee focused attention on four issues: Additional Foreign Language credit, Sun Star Article, change of the admissions status of "Undeclared" to "General Studies", and creation of a new "pre-major"
 admissions status for all degrees.
\par 
\par The proposal to change the wording in the catalog re \ldblquote bonus credit\rdblquote  for foreign languages was carried over until next year.  Any changes would not affect the curre
nt catalog as it is already in print and distributed so there was no perception of any urgency in addressing this issue.
\par 
\par It was brought to the attention of the committee that a recent Sun Star issue (23 April, 2002, p 3) contained an article relating to t
he creation of a new minor at UAF that was significantly in error.  The Sun Star was contacted to correct the article; however, they have already published their last issue for the year.
\par 
\par The Curricular Affairs committee voted unanimously to support the administration's proposal to change the name of the admissions status "Undeclared" to "General Studies".  We believe that this name more accurately reflects students'
 perceptions of their status and encourages, by the wording, exploration of varying discipli
nes as the students establish their degree goals.  We recommend an effective date of Spring 2003.  Implementation in the fall semester would be too disruptive as admissions for that semester is already underway and students have already been admitted.

\par 
\par Aft
er extensive discussion over two different meetings, the Curricular Affairs voted unanimously to approve a new admissions status: pre-major.  We will submit a motion to that effect at the next meeting of the Faculty Senate.  The effective date of the moti
o
n would be Fall 2003.  Pre-major status would be established for each baccalaureate degree and advising would be accomplished by the school or college within which the degree exists.  To provide this advising, schools and colleges will be required to iden
tify and train pre-major advisors who will be responsible for the advising of the students in these categories.
\par 
\par Finally, the committee, on behalf of all previous Curricular Affairs committees, thanked Ann Tremarello for her thoughtful and expert guidance and input over the many years of her membership on the committee on the occasion of her impending retirement.

\par \tab D.\tab Core Review - D. Schamel
\par 
\par The following report was distributed as a handout. 
\par 
\par Report of the Core Review Committee for 2001-02
\par 
\par Submitted by Douglas Schamel
\par 
\par Two main accomplishments this academic year include: 1) relaxing of requirements for Core science courses, and 2) acceptance of MATH 161 as a Core math course.  
\par 
\par The philosophy underlying "breadth" vs. "depth" science classes is quite reasonable.  Unfortunately, many students found themselves caught in a bind of beginning a "depth"
 sequence, but changing career goals in mid-stream.  Or, just as common, beginning enrolling in a "breadth" course, then becoming excited about science.  This was not an issue for transfer students; any 
science course with a laboratory would count for Core science credit.  Thus, the loosening of the rules pertaining to science courses at UAF should be a boon for our students.  The only real concern is adequate preparation to handle the "depth" courses.

\par 
\par A
 student may NOT receive credit for both MATH 161 and MATH 107X.  Why not?  The courses are far too similar.  The Core Review Committee has allowed students to waive MATH 107X, if they complete MATH 161 and petition to use this course in lieu of MATH 107X
.  The new policy merely formalizes the unwritten policy, which opens this opportunity for ALL students.  
\par 
\par In addition, we recognized the need for assisting faculty unfamiliar with "O" and "W" courses.  We attempted to deal with this issue by: 1) passing a
 motion to establish a Writing-across-the-Curriculum faculty specialist, and 2) establishing specific guidelines for inclusion in course syllabi.
\par 
\par The Writing-across-the-Curriculum specialist will work with the Faculty Development Office to provide workshops on Writing Intensive courses, including effective means of establishing writing samples and "draft-comment-redraft"
.  This faculty member would also be available for individual consultation.
\par 
\par Inclusion of appropriate guidelines for "O" and/or "W" course
-related material in syllabi will not only aid faculty in ensuring they meet the minimum requirements for the Core, it will also alert students to the fact that this course is, indeed, a Core course, and that there are specific parts of the grading policy
 that pertain to the Core. 
\par 
\par Looking ahead to 2002-03, I foresee the committee 1) monitoring progress in course syllabi (an important issue for continuing accreditation), 2) screening of "O" and "W" course offerings by department (for potential suggestions 
to increase these courses), and 3) examining the potential for using Core courses to meet other requirements (CSEM faculty wish to double-count Core science courses for science minors AND Core).
\par 
\par 
\par \tab E.\tab Curriculum Review - P. Pinney
\par 
\par The following report was submitted for the minutes.  
\par 
\par The Faculty Senate Curriculum Review Committee reviewed over 100 new courses, trial courses and changes to existing courses.  All but two requests were approved.  Those two came from Law Enforcement at Tanana Valley Campus and 
were sent back for further development and a review of how it might parallel other existing courses in other departments, particularly Justice.  TVC will be forwarding an A.A.S. in Law Enforcement next year.
\par 
\par Of the ten or so courses that the committee conditionally approved, members requested additional information for clarification.  For some applications, departments submitted forms with missing data.  
In a few instances, the form itself was worded in such a way that the committee could not tell how many times the course could be taken for repeat credit.  
The rest has missing syllabi or similar documentation. For all conditional reviews, the committee received the information and approved the changes.
\par 
\par Two new programs were forwarded on to the Curricular Affairs Committee for discussion after initial committee approval: Global Studies minor and International Studies Baccalaureate.  
Those two demonstrated the strength of the review process as more questions and discussion provided for changes that made each proposal stronger.  
I personally found the evolution of a program interesting as the proponents continued to add changes and opponents strengthened the request in pointing out weaknesses.  In this case, I would like to note that the student senate rep. to the com
mittee added valuable input at both this committee level and then again in Curricular Affairs.
\par 
\par At year's end, the make up of the committee for next year is still to be determined.  Gary Holton has agreed to be the chair if the committee for next year.  I wi
ll be serving as President-Elect of the Faculty Senate and will be glad to assist in any way helpful to help the committee next year.

\par 
\par Godwin Chukwu welcomed everyone to the new senate.  We have spent a long time today discussing and debating issues that are very relevant to our course of stay.  These will be major topics of discussion.  
One of the main items he would like to follow is to conduct meetings of the Senate }{at least once each semester}{ from the rural campuses.  We need to get in touch with our colleagues
 and let them understand why we are here and discuss them our deliberations.
