  1. Announcements (Reports).
    1. Remarks by the Chair.—R. Rosenman
      1. Members of the Executive Council met with Guy Westoff to discuss Zussis. A focus group will be formed to address changes needed for this system. If anyone would like to serve on this focus group, please contact Craig Parks. A visit to the Tri-Cities campus is scheduled for November 4th to meet with faculty and administrators. The Steering Committee discussed standardization for clickers used by students and felt no action could be taken given the wide range of features some clickers have and differing class requirements. The issue of student plagiarism will be discussed with the Interim Provost. A Memorandum of Understanding on program changes between the Faculty Senate and Provost’s office is being written and will be submitted to the Steering Committee.
      2. Ken Casavant spoke on the role of the WSU Faculty Athletics Representative. A handout was provided which is available on the Senate’s website. It was acknowledged that the Thursday, October 31, 2013 football game posed issues and conflicts with academics. And in response to concerns raised, a survey will be formulated to gather input from faculty to formulate a plan of action for the next Thursday night game in 3 years.
  2. Additions or Changes to the Agenda.
    1. No changes.
  3. Agenda Items. (Action Items) These were not voted on due to the lack of a quorum.

      1. No discussion.
    4. Recommendation from Graduate Studies for changes to revise the major requirements in for the PhD in Molecular Biosciences program. The program proposes to decrease their graded credits from 21 to 15 for the PhD degree. (Exhibits O, O1). – J. Yoder –
      1. Discussion: Question on credits, as appropriate, for a bachelor or master’s degree. It was noted uniform guidelines were being sought to be equivalent with the Graduate School.
        1. Clarification from J. Yoder will be sought.
    5. Recommendation from Graduate Studies for changes to extend the Professional Science Master’s in Electrical Engineering program to the Global Campus (Exhibits Q, Q1). – J. Yoder
      1. Discussion: If this is an online program offering in engineering, how are the laboratories handled?” An inquiry was requested about labs at the next meeting.
    6. Recommendation from Graduate Studies for changes to close the PhD in PharmSci program in Pullman and move it to Spokane (Exhibits R, R1). – J. Yoder
      1. Discussion: Are all students in the PhD program from Pullman okay to be in Spokane? Is there a negative impact on them? It was noted that the students were given adequate notice and this was discussed with students and mentored through process to enable them to achieve their degree on the Spokane campus.
    7. Recommendation from Graduate Studies for changes to close the Nutrition and Exercise Physiology PhD program in Pullman and retain the program in Spokane (Exhibits S, S1).-J. Yoder .
      1. No discussion.
    8. Recommendation from Graduate Studies for changes of the status to the Criminal Justice program to the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology (Exhibits T, T1).- J. Yoder
      1. Discussion: It was noted this program was never formally approved and thus steps are being taken to make it official .
    9. Recommendation from the Steering Committee to expand the Faculty Affairs Committee by adding three new non-voting positions (one from each of the urban campuses of Spokane, Tri-Cities and Vancouver) and that the faculty from the urban campuses of Spokane, Tri- Cities and Vancouver would select their respective representative.
      1. Discussion: Would they be non-voting members? Discussion on roles these branch campus plays, voting members as appropriate and having a voice in actions. It was recommendation of this to go Faculty Affairs Committee (FAC) for further review..
  2. Constituents’ Concerns.
    1. The problems caused to faculty and students for the upcoming Thursday game on 10/31/13 were again brought up and President Floyd acknowledged it was problematic, but all possible efforts were taken to resolve any issues/concerns. The ESPN contact requires hosting a Thursday night game every three years.
    2. A question was raised about students being required to petition to have a UCORE course fill a GER requirement. It was noted by a representative of the Registrar’s office that this was not accurate and that students who are following the old GERs still have the same courses fulfill those requirements – i.e., that ENGLISH 101 is still a [W] while also being a [WRTG]. Follow- up information/documentation will be provided at the next Senate meeting.
  3. Adjournment.
    1. The meeting adjourned at 3:50p.m.
