* Absence Explained
Chairperson Moore called the meeting to order and welcomed everyone to the
February 1999 Senate Meeting.
The Chair made the following announcements:
There is a new undergraduate student member of the Senate Council; his name
is Vincent Fields.
For the March 8, 1999 meeting, Gordon Davies, who is the President of the
Council on Postsecondary Education, will be the guest speaker.
I would like to recognize Dean Mike Nietzel, from the Graduate School to do
an update on the status of the graduate student health insurance proposal.
Professor Nietzel made the following remarks:
I was asked by Vice-President Bramwell to prepare a recommendation that
would be discussed with the President's staff with respect to the benefit
package and I did so. It is different from the version that was endorsed
by the faculty Senate in that it calls for funding of health insurance, not
the health benefit provided for faculty and staff but a student health
insurance provided by the Mega Insurance Company as well as including the
mandated student health fee, which is mandated for all full-time students.
That proposal has gone forward and has been discussed with the President's
staff but no final decision has been reached. There is a substantial
difference in the cost of the faculty staff benefit and the benefit
provided through Mega. The current Mega policy is about $435 per year. It
will be renegotiated for next year and probably will have some new benefits
and potentially, if this were to be approved, have a much bigger pool of
students. We anticipate that we could have some new benefits added without
a very big increase in the cost of the premium. I figured it at something
under $500 per student for the insurance itself at an annual rate. The
President's group has not made a final decision but I anticipate it will be
considered and we will hear something within the next month.
A Senator (who did not identify himself) said that he assumed there were
fewer benefits in this package and that one of the reasons for doing this
was to be competitive with other universities and it did not sound like
they would be. Dean Nietzel said that there were fewer benefits, but there
were some benefits that theirs did not include. The amount of the benefits
is less, but they will be competitive. If you take the survey, most
universities are providing health insurance for their graduate student
assistants, but it is not the case at most of those that it is the
faculty-staff benefit. It is a special policy for students. There have
been three different surveys and the majority do not provide the
faculty-staff benefit. The student benefit will be less on the peripheral
type of things. $250,000 will be the maximum benefit.
The Chair said that the minutes for December 14, 1998 meeting had been
distributed. There were no corrections or additions and the minutes were
approved as circulated.
Chairperson Moore recognized Professor William Lubawy from the College of
Pharmacy for a memorial resolution.
Memorial Resolution
Professor Michael Lach
February 8, 1999
The University of Kentucky mourns the passing of Michael Lach, who lost a
long and inspiring battle with cancer, in December of 1998. Mike was well
known to faculty and staff on both the Lexington and Medical Center
campuses and was well recognized as a tireless champion of utilizing
technology to enhance our ability to achieve our missions of teaching and
research. He functioned in this way throughout his career at UK and he
developed numerous and lasting close personal friendships along the way.
Mike came to UK as Assistant Director of Libraries in 1980 from Dartmouth,
with prior experience at the University of Virginia and MIT. One of Mike's
early assignments was to automate the libraries at UK and he successfully
lead the effort to implement the first electronic cataloging and
circulation systems. All subsequent computer upgrades in the libraries
have been built upon this initial effort. When student-computing
laboratories were created on campus Mike had administrative responsibility
for them including initial development of all policies and procedures.
Mike brought knowledge of computerized operational systems from other major
research institutions and he was quick to explore their application here at
UK. Mike also served as Chair of the Senate Libraries Committee.
In 1994 Paul Willis and Gene Williams approached the College of Pharmacy
with their idea of placing a library faculty member with a strong
background in technology and good interpersonal skills in individual
colleges. Always willing to take a look at new ways of doing things, the
College enthusiastically agreed to the experiment and became one of the
first colleges in the university with one of these joint full-time
information technology managers, courtesy of this program. Mike lent his
expertise, physical presence and all of this energy to this effort, and it
was an obvious success from the start. He had a way of working with
faculty that stimulated them to try new things. His personal involvement
was instrumental in markedly increasing the incorporation of technology in
our teaching and research programs. His success in the College of Pharmacy
resulted in these types of positions being expanded to other colleges.
Within 18 months Mike took on the additional responsibility for helping
other colleges implement the recruitment, hiring and training of individual
college technology officers. In 1996 he also became the Director of the
MCFACTS Center, providing the guidance and instruction that enabled faculty
and staff of the Medical Center to expand their own knowledge of computer
systems and software. Thus, within a very short period of time, Mike had
effectively impacted a dramatic increase in the use and level of
sophistication of technology applications throughout the Medical Center.
Despite his obvious impact on technology at UK, Mike's main strengths were
his energy, commitment and unbelievably positive attitude to getting things
done and helping others. His contributions will be felt for many years to
come. It was with great sorrow that we said goodbye to Michael Lach. But
it is with great pride that we view the achievements that resulted from
Michael's unwavering dedication to his family, the University, the Medical
Center, his profession and his colleagues.
On a personal note, Mike came to work for four years dying of lung cancer.
He came in every day with a smile, he never complained, and he always tried
to help others. All of us could learn from his example.
Mr. Chairperson, I request that this resolution be spread upon the minutes
and a copy be sent to Professor Lach's family.
The Chair asked the Senate to stand for a moment of silence.
Chairperson Moore said that the next item was the presentation of the
honorary degree candidates and asked that the names and descriptions be
kept confidential. He then recognized Dean Mike Nietzel for presentation
of the candidates. Dean Nietzel presented the biographical information on
each candidate. The motion to accept the degree candidates for
recommendation to the President passed in unanimous voice votes.
The Chair recognized Professor Lee Meyer, vice-chair of the Senate Council
for introduction of the first action item.
ACTION ITEM 1 - Proposal to recommend changes to AR II- 1. 1 -5 ("Employee
Educational Program Policies and Procedures") If approved, these changes
will be forwarded to the administration for consideration.
On January 25, 1999, the Senate Council approved recommending changes to
AR II 1.1-5 that would allow full-time university employees to take
noncredit workshops and continuing education courses as an employee benefit.=

University of Kentucky courses taken at the campus in Lexington, at a
community college, or through the statewide Faculty and Staff Tuition
Waiver Program (see attached Appendix 1).
2. [If an employee is eligible,] [t]The maximum number of credit hours for
which tuition will be waived shall be no more than six (6) per semester at

shall not exceed an amount equivalent to the total tuition for six semester
hours of credit at the University of Kentucky.
Eligibility for enrollment in such courses, workshops and seminars shall be
on a space available basis after paid enrollees. The enrollee must meet
any professional or licensure requirements or prerequisites required of all
participants. If separately itemized by the sponsor, a fee not to exceed
the actual direct cost of any meals or printed materials provided by the
sponsor can be assessed to the enrollee.
c. If an employee registers for more hours than the maximum (6 per
semester) or for more than two noncredit courses, workshops or seminars
for which the tuition will be waived, the excess tuition shall be paid by
the employee.
3. For the purpose of this policy section, the combination of summer
sessions is considered as one semester. Therefore, the total amount of
tuition which may be waived shall not exceed the normal tuition for six (6)
hours of credit.
4. Fees other than tuition (e.g., breakage fees, books, etc.) shall not be
waived by the University.
5. Employees utilizing this policy and who are part-time students shall not
be eligible for the Student Health Service or other programs requiring
student status but rather shall retain employee status for purposes of all
such determinations.

to the first day of classes, any previously approved tuition waiver shall
not be honored.
B. A regular full-time employee shall be permitted, with prior
administrative approval, to take only one noncredit course, workshop or
seminar or one (1) course for credit per semester (or combination of summer
sessions) on the campus in Lexington, at a community college, or through
the statewide Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver Program (see attached
Appendix 1), during the employee's normal working hours.
1. Scheduling of classes and making up time shall be approved by the
employee's department chairperson or immediate supervisor and by the dean
or president of the college or the head of an administrative or operating
division and shall not compromise the efficiency of any University
organizational unit.
2. Provided the department chairperson or immediate supervisor is advised
sufficiently prior to the event, an employee shall be given time off to
talk with the employee's academic advisor and to attend advance
registration, add-drop, etc.
3. All times away from the job as a result of this policy shall be made up
within that regular work week, resulting in no net loss of time for which
the employee is paid.
II. Delegation
Final approval for scheduling classes and noncredit workshops and seminars
during normal working hours and related compensatory time [must be] rests
with approved by the dean or president of the college or [by] the head of

Educational Program Form (Form 51.4.1, a copy of which appears at the end
of this Administrative Regulation).
1. If an employee wishes to take a course, workshop or seminar during
normal working hours, the employee shall submit the Employee Educational
Program Form to the department chairperson/supervisor and the
dean/president/division head within a reasonable time (usually no less than
thirty days, but may be a longer period in certain departments) before the
start of the semester or summer session.
2. After receiving approval of the department chairperson/supervisor and
dean/president/division head, the employee shall submit the form to the
Human Resources Services Office. The Human Resource Services Office shall
verify employment status to determine eligibility for tuition waiver.
3. For courses, workshops or seminars taken outside an employee's normal
working hours, an employee shall submit the Employee Educational Program
Form directly to the Human Resource Services Office.

APPENDIX 1
Approved: August 8, 1997 by the Council on Postsecondary Education
2.51: FACULTY AND STAFF TUITION WAIVER PROGRAM INTERIM POLICY
I. Statement of Purpose
The 1997 First Extraordinary Session of the General Assembly resulted in
the creation of a faculty and staff tuition waiver program [KRS
164.020(32)] with the express purpose of promoting employee and faculty
development. Specific responsibility was granted to the Council on
Postsecondary Education to develop and implement this program. Consistent
with stated legislative purpose, this policy sets out the parameters of
this program, which is intended to enhance the professional development
opportunities of the employees and faculty of the public postsecondary
institutions.
II. Statutory Authority
Authority is expressly granted in KRS 164.020(32) which provides the
Council on Postsecondary Education shall:
(32) Develop a statewide policy to promote employee and faculty development
in all postsecondary institutions through the waiver of tuition for college
credit coursework in the public postsecondary education system. Any
regular full-time employee of a postsecondary public institution may, with
prior administrative approval of the course offering institution, take a
maximum of six (6) credit hours per term at any public postsecondary
institution. The institution shall waive the tuition up to a maximum of
six (6) credit hours per term; ...
Additional requirements for employees of the Kentucky Community and
Technical System are stated in KRS164.5807:
(6) A regular full-time employee may, with prior administrative approval,
take one (1) course per semester or combination of summer sessions on the
University of Kentucky's campus or at a community college during the
employee's normal working hours. The University of Kentucky shall defray
the registration fee up to a maximum of six (6) credit hours per semester
or combination of summer sessions.
Section A. Definitions
"Course-offering institution" means the institution where an employee has
enrolled to take a college credit course under the provisions of this=
policy.
"Employing institution" means the institution where an employee seeking a
benefit under this policy, works on a full-time basis.
"Institution" means a state-supported postsecondary institution as
described in KRS 164.001(10).
"Regular full-time employee" or "employee" means an employee so classified
by an employing institution within the human resources system of that
institution. NOTE: Until July 1, 1998, participation by the technical
branch of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) is
limited to employees of the postsecondary technical institutions and the
postsecondary faculty of the area centers. On July 1, 1998, all KCTCS
employees will become eligible.
"Summer term" or "summer session" means the period in the academic calendar
between the spring and the fall semester.
Section B: General Requirements
The program is to be titled the Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver Program.
The Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver Program applies to the waiver of
tuition and does not include mandatory student fees, course and other fees,
textbooks or other charges assessed by a course-offering institution.
The Council on Postsecondary Education requires that all tuition waived
under this program:
a. be recorded consistent with residency requirements;
b. be recorded in the financial accounting system of the course-offering
institution consistent with financial reporting guidelines of the Council;=
and
c. be separately identified in the course-offering institution's student
database consistent with Council guidelines.
The Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver Program applies to all courses offered
for college credit not specifically excluded by this policy.
A course-offering institution may, through a written policy, exclude
non-credit continuing or community education courses, courses offered
through overseas programs, correspondence courses and audited courses.
Participation in the Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver Program may generate
additional taxable income under the provisions of the federal tax code for
graduate, professional and doctoral level programs.
a. The course-offering institution shall provide a report to the chief
personnel officer of each employing institution on all employees
participating in the Faculty and Staff Tuition Waiver Program. The report
shall designate the course number and whether the course is undergraduate,
graduate, doctoral or professional.
b. The employing institution is responsible for withholding of the proper
taxes and for reporting taxable income for all employees of the institution
regardless of the institution where the course is taken.
c. Any tax liability incurred through participation in this program is the
responsibility of the employee.
This policy confers a financial benefit to regular, full-time employees and
is not intended to guarantee access or preferential treatment to any
academic course or program.
An employee eligible to participate in this program may take courses during
normal working hours with written permission of the employing institution.
An institution is not required to offer a course during an academic term
unless there are a sufficient number of tuition-paying students taking the
course. An institution may restrict enrollment in a course if space is not
available.
An institution may offer additional benefits to its own employees or to
employees of other postsecondary institutions that exceed the benefits of
this policy.
Section C: Eligibility Criteria
An employee, to be eligible for participation in the Faculty and Staff
Tuition Waiver Program, must be classified by the employing institution as
a regular full-time employee. Certification of employment shall be
provided by the employing institution for each academic term in which the
employee seeks to participate in the program.
If employment is terminated prior to the first day of classes, an approved
tuition waiver will be canceled.
An employee is not eligible to receive a tuition waiver under this program
in excess of six credit hours per academic term from an institution or
combination of institutions.
Employees must meet the course-offering institution's:
a. general admission requirements; and
b. any specific program requirements.
c. A course-offering institution may require that a student achieve a
minimum grade level, not to exceed a 2.0 on a 4.0 grade scale, in order to
continue to be eligible to participate in the Faculty and Staff Tuition
Waiver Program in subsequent academic terms.
Rationale: This Regulation change would provide employees with an
opportunity to obtain education and training that would likely benefit the
university and their individual unit at minimal cost to the university.
The benefit would have the same conditions as those of the current tuition
benefit, including approval by the employee's department chairperson or
immediate supervisor and the dean, etc.
If approved, this recommendation will be forwarded to the administration
for consideration.
Professor Meyer reviewed the proposed changes to the regulation and
recommended approval on behalf of the Senate Council.
Kaveh Tagavi (Engineering) asked if this included short courses? The Chair
answered yes. Professor Tagavi's concern was that if a short course were
offered, the professor received actual cash from the University for every
participant rather than the paper money for regular courses.
The Chair stated that it would be a minimal cost to the University, because
only if there were spaces available would individuals be able to register
for the course, workshop, or seminar and it would also require approval of
the supervisor. There is also a cap of the equivalent of two courses or
six credit hours.
Professor Meyer stated that the Council specifically put in the statement
"eligibility shall be on a space available basis after paid enrollees" to
make sure that this was not taking money away from units which provided the
courses. If the course is going to be offered anyway, then someone could
participate in the course. If the course did not have sufficient
enrollment, the Council intended that the course not be offered. The
Council intended to keep the financial impact on the University or
particular units to a minimum.
Professor Tagavi said that he had a visitor from Murray State, and he
learned that when his spouse took courses at Murray he did not have to pay
tuition. It seems that staff at this University take advantage of this
more than faculty, and it would be nice if free tuition could be given to
the dependents of faculty.
Joe Anthony (Lexington Community College) asked if someone took one
three-hour course could they take two seminars, or if someone took two
courses would they not be able to take any seminars?
Professor Lee Meyer said that if someone took two courses, he or she could
not take any seminars. If someone took one course, the intent was that the
person could take no more than one additional course or seminar.
Bill Maloney (Engineering) said that in the short courses they provide the
participants $80-$100 worth of materials. The Chair stated that the
proposal required the employee to pay "any direct costs, including printed
materials and meals" and that was to avoid the unit having to incur any
direct costs.
Joachim Knuf (Communications and Information Studies) proposed striking the
first phrase of Section A-2 "If an employee is eligible" and leave out
entirely Item 6 -- to change the wording in II-Delegation to read "rest
with" instead of "must be" and to strike the word "by." The Chair said
that these were Administrative Regulations and the Senate can only
recommend changes, which would have to be approved by the President and
Board of Trustees.
Mary Molinaro (University Libraries) said that the way the paperwork was
approved, it is signed and turned in and if someone quits after that is all
done, the Billing Office is not going to know that someone has terminated
employment and someone could actually take the class without paying.
Professor Knuf stated he would withdraw striking Item 6.
The amendment passed in a unanimous voice vote.
Nate Brown (Student Government President) stated he felt this was a great
proposal and should be passed.
Ellen Hahn (Nursing) proposed that Item I.A.2.b read "sponsored or
co-sponsored."
The proposal passed in a unanimous voice vote.
Ed Kasarskis (Medicine) asked about the issue of the sponsoring unit
providing meals and printed materials. Was the language intended that
separate bills be rendered for tuition and for materials and food or a
comprehensive bill for all?
The Chair said the intent was that if the unit could separately itemize and
say what it costs for separate items, the individual could be billed. This
would be only for the people who were taking the seminar and not paying.
The proposal as amended passed in a unanimous voice vote.
ACTION ITEM 2 - Action: Ad Hoc Committee on Faculty Title Series
Background:
In December 1997 the Senate Council Ad Hoc Committee on Faculty Titles
Series (Co-Chaired by Professors Ann B. Amerson, Pharmacy, and Antoinette
Powell, Agriculture) submitted its Final Report for consideration by the
University Senate Council. The Ad Hoc Committee on Faculty Titles Series
was charged with "a comprehensive review of the title series system, to
identify strengths and weaknesses, and develop recommendations to simplify,
clarify, improve the structure, and ultimately invigorate the spirit of the
system." The committee began its work by gathering information about series
at other institutions and the historical development of the Faculty Titles
Series at the University of Kentucky. After reviewing the background
information, the committee decided to focus its attention on the Special
Title Series, Research Title Series, and the Clinical Titles Series. The
Committee was later given responsibility to review the proposed Lecturer
Series. To accomplish this, the committee divided into two task forces,
Special Title Series and Non-Tenure Track series.
The Senate Council has since then held extensive discussions, including two
sessions with the Committee Co-Chairs regarding the recommendations in the
report. The Senate Council voted on November 16, 1998, to recommend
approval by the full Senate of certain revisions to the current
Administrative Regulations for the Special Title Series. At its meeting on
14 December, the University Senate acted on those revisions.
Also at its meeting on November 16, 1998, the Senate Council voted to
submit five recommendations from the Task Force report to the full Senate
for discussion only. The Senate Council agreed to consider the feedback
from the discussion in determining which recommendations to forward to the
full Senate for action.
Proposal: [Boldface indicates wording added; strikeovers indicate wording
to be deleted]
1) All faculty in the contractual title series should be provided all of
the same rights as faculty in tenure tracks within respective Colleges.
These rights include are eligibility eligible for all committees except
committees deciding tenure decisions for special and regular title series
and shall be eligible as well as eligibility for voting in all elections
and the opportunity to participate in all other decision-making processes
within the University.
Rationale: This has to be done or a second class status results because
we are not providing all faculty the opportunity to participate in the
governance of the University. Times have changed, and a much larger
percentage of the faculty are in one of the contractual title series than
in the past.
Note: If approved, an appropriate change in the Senate Rules will be
drafted and brought before the University Senate.
The Chair recognized Professor Meyer for introduction of the item.
Professor Meyer reviewed the background of the item and recommended
approval on behalf of the Senate Council.
Professor Tagavi said that he had serious reservations about this proposal.
He wanted to know what the rationale was for the exclusion in the original
form and what the impact would be upon the distribution of Senate seats.
This rule seems very broad; it applies to half time and less than half-time
people. =20
The Chair said that contractual was defined in the Administrative
Regulations as full-time.
Professor Tagavi made a motion to recommit the proposal to the Senate
Council so it would consider the previous rationale, give an impact of
distribution of Senate seats among colleges and redefine the two
definitions that were just passed which do not include the whole series of
faculty.
Joe Anthony (LCC) said he felt that the intent was to include more people
in important committees, and that inclusion of those faculty would not
cause decisions to be made that would destroy the University. He opposed
the amendment.
=20
Jim Applegate (Communications and Information Studies) said that he would
argue against recommitting because the Senate Council discussed the issues
at length in terms of the impact upon decision making processes and have
the data in terms of the distribution of contractual faculty across the
different colleges. He said the Council felt like it would not
significantly dilute the ability of the tenure track faculty to have impact
and the argument held sway in the Council after much debate and discussion.
If they erred, they would err on the side of inclusiveness in terms of the
contractual full-time faculty.
Brad Canon (Political Science) asked what the disabilities were for the two
contractual title series--the Clinical and Research faculty. Professor
Meyer answered that they could not vote in elections and serve on various
committees. In some units in the Medical Center, they do serve on
committees. One of the rationales was that when they were comfortable with
those types of faculty serving on those committees, some various units have
altered their procedures to do that.
John Thelin (Education) said that either you were equal or you are not.
The fact that there is any exclusion says there is some type of second
class citizenship. If they are committed to equality, why are there
reservations about not having these people also vote on tenure decisions.
Even the advocates have some reservations.=20
Hans Gesund (Engineering) said that in the Minutes of the December 14, 1998
meeting on page 16, Item E.2 it says "The two generic title series be
created as umbrellas for all current title series. The Committee
recommends=85..Contractual Faculty Lines to include Clinical Title Series,
Research Title Series, Lecturer, and Adjunct Faculty Series." As he
understands it, lecturers are part-time and adjunct faculty certainly are
part time. Now the part timers are included in voting and eligible for
Senate membership. He does not think that was the intention to include
people who have practically no connection to the University. They should
not be serving in the Senate and voting on whom should be Senate members.
He supported Professor Tagavi's proposal to send it back to the Senate
Council.
Loys Mather (Agriculture) said that in the larger part of the Senate Rules
voting depends upon whether people are full-time or not. They are dealing
with a change in the rules. This is a statement of principle, and the rule
change would come later.
The motion to recommit the proposal to the Senate Council failed in a show
of hands; 15 for and 35 opposed.
Dave Durant (English) said he was opposed to sending the proposal back to
the Senate Council and made the motion to add the word "full-time" to the
proposal.
The amendment to add "full-time" passed in a voice vote.
Professor Tagavi said that he would like to hear the quantitative numbers.
Joachim Knuf stated that they had dealt with the issue of voting
eligibility at the last meeting. He proposed in Item 1 to change the
language to say "shall be entitled to vote and participate in all other
decision-making processes within the University" and change the "deciding
tenure decisions" to "making tenure decisions."
The amendment to change the wording passed in a unanimous voice vote.
Professor Tagavi asked to see the impact of the numbers.
Phyllis Nash (Medical Center) said she did a report since the majority of
the Research and all the Clinical Title Series positions are in the Medical
Center by college and by department. With any one unit, there was no unit
that would even be close to a simple majority. It did not appear with the
current numbers there would be a significant impact by allowing Research
and Clinical Title Series to vote. The numbers are not large enough that
they could sway an election.
Professor Tagavi said he wanted to know the impact of the new rule on the
redistribution of College Senate seats.
Lee Meyer said that this does not yet affect that. Doug Michael, at the
request of the Senate Council, is working on a rule to talk about
reapportionment, and that will come before the full Senate. This allows
elections but does not change the number of senators from different
colleges. For example, Extension Title Series faculty are eligible to vote
but the numbers of Extension Faculty in the College of Agriculture does not
count towards the number of representatives the College has in the Senate.
The proposal as amended passed in a voice vote.
The Chair recognized Jim Applegate for an American Association of Higher
Education Report.
Professor Applegate made the following remarks.
You have a handout that sketches out the symposium on March 4/5, 1999. We
have invited some very fine people who have addressed the issues related to
senior faculty development all across the country-- Dr. Robert Jones who
worked with the American Association of Medical Colleges and Dr. Charles
Carmello who is Chair of the English Department at Maryland and has worked
extensively as a department chair with the implementation of senior faculty
development policy there. Dr. John Ervin is President of a Community
College and has worked extensively on a national level of how this plays
out in the community college level. Dr. Joseph Morreale is one of the
Senior Fellows of the American Association for Higher Education.
I hope that you will mark your calendars on Thursday, March 4, 1999
particularly. From 10-11:30 a.m., colleagues from sister institutions in
the state have been invited, and they will be sharing what is happening on
their campuses.
There is also just for faculty and staff at UK from 2-5:00 p.m. an Open
Dialogue on Senior Faculty Development. This will be highlighting some of
the key issues that have been addressed in relation to senior faculty
development policies at Maryland, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and
other places and how those are relevant to us. We do emphasize that while
Post Tenure Review, which is what sparked some of this, is a piece of this
discussion. We are looking at larger issues and things that are being done
at other campuses in an innovative manner to help senior faculty. =20
I want to thank the other members of the Steering Committees who are
working so hard to make this event a good one--Joe Brill who is on the
American Sciences Council; Mike Kennedy who is going to actively
participate in the presentations and has done a lot of work in this area
for AAUP and is on our faculty; Sue Rimmer and Richard Greissman both from
Arts and Sciences; Nolan Embry from Lexington Community College; Kim
Anderson from the College of Engineering; Roy Moore who has worked very
actively on this; and Lois Nora from the Medical Center who is largely
responsible for getting Dr. Jones here.
Hans Gesund said that the panel was all administrators. Why are there not
any senior faculty on the panel? Why is there not a representative from
the national headquarters of AAUP and a representative from the American
Federation of Teachers (AFT) on this panel? These are people who are
experts in this field and they should have been invited.
Professor Applegate said that Michael Kennedy had done a lot of presenting
to the AAUP, and they talked about bringing an AAUP representative and can
still do that. Charles Carmello was selected because he is a Department
Chair and Senior Faculty member at Maryland who approached this whole issue
with Maryland with some skeptism and has a balanced view on what has worked
and what has not there.
We see these as discussions. These people will provide data on what is
happening around the country. We hope that a lot of senior faculty and
also untenured folk will come because this is about all of us. I want to
emphasize that they have pulled together a lot material that has to do with
a lot more than post tenure review. They are talking about policies and
innovative things going on around the country. They are looking at a lot
of different policies that go beyond post tenure review issues that are
designed to enhance the engagement productivity of our senior faculty. I
will go back to the Steering Committee, and they will look and see if they
can get someone from the national AAUP. =20
The meeting adjourned at 4:25 p.m.
