2. Announcements (Reports).
   1. Remarks by the Chair.—R. Rosenman
      1. The Legislative Council of Faculty Representatives met and is focused on helping to meet student financial needs. Students who have decreased financial stress tend to have better academic success.
      2. A request to Larry Seaquist was made to help address additional funding for higher education and compensation of faculty. It was noted that block grants to be used as the university sees fit could be a viable strategy for salary disbursement.
      3. Regarding a constituent concerns the WSU’s ranking in US News and Report has slipped from its previous position, it was noted that the Administration has reviewed this. No concerns were raised as there are a variety of factors used to create the rankings and our leadership is confident that our university is on track with our strategic plan. The other constituent concern asked if athletics was being funded at the expense of academics. Our leadership is committed to fiscal accountability funding of academics and funding of athletics are properly segregated.
      4. At the recent winter graduation, it was evident that the students are proud about WSU, and its faculty and its administration.
3. Additions or Changes to the Agenda.
   1. Motion to move clarification wording on constitution to a Discussion Item, as previously circulated.
      1. Motion carried.
4. Agenda Items. (Action Items)
   1. Memorandum of Understanding between the Provost and the Faculty Senate regarding the Creation, Movement, Renaming or Elimination of Departments and Colleges. (Exhibit U) as follows:
   2. Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Provost and the Faculty Senate regarding the Creation, Movement, Renaming or Elimination of Departments and Colleges
      1. Background
         1. The present MOU was formulated because the University has no policies that directly govern the creation, movement, renaming or elimination of colleges or departments. Recent restructuring of colleges and departments has revealed that such policies would be useful when administrative units are changed. Although the structure of administrative units does not fall within the Faculty Senate’s formal jurisdiction, the faculty will be consulted because it has an interest in changes in such units.
         2. This MOU describes a process of consultation between the faculty and the Provost that can be used for creating, moving, renaming or eliminating a department or college. The process described here applies only to changes in administrative structure. It does not apply to curricular changes. Curricular issues related to changes in administrative structure will go through the normal Faculty Senate approval process. Throughout this document, the term “department” means “department and/or school”, following the usage in the Faculty Manual.
      2. Process for Creation of a New Department or College
         1. The process for creating a new department or college begins with obtaining pre-approval from the Provost.
         2. Next, a Notice of Intent to create such a unit should be filed with the Provost’s Office. A form, attached to this MOU, contains a list of questions that should be addressed in this Notice of Intent.
         3. If the Provost decides that the Notice is not worthy of consideration, the process stops and the Provost informs those who submitted the Notice of his or her decision. If the Provost decides that the Notice is worthy of consideration, (s)he sends that Notice to the Executive Secretary of the Faculty Senate. The Provost, in consultation with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, will then decide whether the Notice should receive full consideration by the Faculty Senate.
         4. If the decision is positive, the proposal will be examined by, at least, the Faculty Senate Steering Committee and the Faculty Affairs Committee. Other Faculty Senate committees and, potentially, the entire Faculty Senate and/or the entire faculty, may be involved as determined by the Faculty Senate Steering Committee. The Faculty Senate Executive Committee will summarize the results of the Faculty Senate deliberations and will send recommendations concerning the creation of the unit to the Provost by the last day of the semester following the semester in which the Faculty Senate received the Notice.
         5. The Notice of Intent to Create a Department includes the question of whether the department should also serve as a tenure unit. A tenure unit is the unit within which tenure is held by tenured faculty members at the University. Most, but not all, current tenure units are departments. Inclusion of this question and a requirement for justification recognizes that some, but probably not all, newly formed departments should also serve as tenure units.
      3. Process for Movement of a Department or College across Campuses or Administrative Structures
         1. This process is identical to that for creation of a Department or College except that the questions involved in the Notice of Intent differ somewhat for those involved in the Notice of Intent to Create a Department or College (see the attached form).
      4. Process for Renaming a Department or College
         1. This process is identical to that for creation of a Department or College except that the questions involved in the Notice of Intent differ somewhat for those involved in the Notice of Intent to Create a Department or College (see the attached form).
      5. Process for Eliminating a Department or College
         1. Because it has been effective in the past, the description of program elimination in section III. F. 3. of the Faculty Manual will be used as the process for eliminating a college or department with the further stipulation that this process will begin as described under “Process for Creation of a New Department or College” [i.e., with preapproval by the Provost and then a filing of a Notice of Intent to Eliminate a Department or College with the Provost’s Office (see the attached form)].
      6. Conclusion
         1. The Faculty Senate as a whole agreed to the use of this MOU on [date]. This MOU may be terminated by a vote of the Faculty Senate or by the Provost. Both parties are required to provide 60 calendar days’ notice (excluding the period between the end of the Spring semester and the beginning of the Fall semester) before termination is effective. Notice by the Provost must be given to the Executive Secretary of the Faculty Senate. Signatures,

1. Recommendation from Academic Affairs for a Proposal to revise Rule 54 (Exhibit B) as follows:

TO:                 Sheila Converse, Executive Secretary Faculty Senate

FROM:           Becky Bitter, Registrar’s Office

FOR:              Academic Affairs Committee

DATE:           7 November 2013

SUBJECT:    Proposal to Revise Rule 54

At its meeting on November 5, 2013, AAC approved the following proposal to revise Rule 54. The revision is in response to departments and the undergraduate degree area within the Registrar’s Office.

The revision adds a stipulation that a student cannot receive a minor that is the same title as the major. For example, a student majoring in Chemistry may not also receive a minor in Chemistry. However, a student majoring in English would be able to receive the more specialized minor in Professional Writing.

Similarly, the revision extends to the level of the option or concentration (subplan) within the major. For example, a student majoring in General Studies, Social Sciences, with an area of concentration Political Science cannot also receive a minor in Political Science.

Finally, the revision further clarifies that minors and additional majors may not stand alone, but that they are awarded at the same time that the degree is awarded.

54.

UNDERGRADUATE MINOR OR SECOND ADDITIONAL MAJOR

Undergraduate minors and additional majors emphasize study in an area outside a student’s primary major. An undergraduate minor or additional major is a supplemental academic award that is awarded at the same time that a student’s undergraduate degree is conferred. The name of the undergraduate minor or additional major may not be the same as the degree, primary major, or any subplan, option, or general studies concentration within the major. An undergraduate or professional student who has completed 60 semester hours and is certified in a major may certify a minor or second additional major with the approval of the department offering the minor or second additional major. The student should consult with the department concerning hours and grade point requirements and an approved schedule of studies to meet such requirements. Minors: An undergraduate minor requires a minimum of 16 semester hours, 9 of which must be in upper-division work and taken in residence at WSU or through WSU-approved education abroad or educational exchange courses. Students may not be certified in a minor of the same name as their degree, major, or as any subplan, option, or concentration within their major. No student shall be required by their major to complete a minor, though the department may encourage students to complement the first primary major with a certificate, minor, or second additional major.  Unless otherwise noted, courses forming a minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements of a major and include credits required for the undergraduate degree. Once requirements for the minor or second additional major are met and the student’s first undergraduate degree has been conferred and posted to the transcript, the student’s transcript will be updated to show these additional academic awards. A student who has earned a minor may be subsequently certified with departmental approval to seek a major or degree of the same title.   Additional Majors: An second additional major requires completion of departmental requirements for the major, exclusive of general education requirements. University Common Requirements (UCOREs). Students may not be certified in an additional major of the same name as their degree, major, or as any subplan, option or concentration within their major. Note that second additional degrees have additional requirements. See Rule 118. A student who has earned an additional major may be subsequently certified with departmental approval to seek a primary major or degree of the same title.

At this time, Faculty Senate review and approval is recommended, to be effective fall 2014.

5. Agenda Items. (Discussion Items).
   1. Recommendation from Research & Arts Committee for the Smart Environments Research Center. (Exhibit C ). – L.Lavine, B. John Mariadoss
      1. Questions arose about the actual cost and funding source, as well as lab space. It was noted this center is self-funding from grants and no request for WSU funding was made. No additional lab space was requested. When asked if there is a University Policy on support of centers, the Provost advised that centers must be reviewed every 5 years.
   2. Recommendation from Research & Arts Committee for the Center for Transformational Learning and Leadership. (Exhibit D) – L.Lavine, B. John Mariadoss –
      1. Questions arose about budgetary support and funding. Request to have clarification of funding before the next meeting. When asked if it would be available to CAHNS only, it was noted that many programs would be open to all WSU.
   3. Potential restructuring of Senate committees (Exhibit E, E1). – Craig Parks
      1. Exhibit E (Budget Committee review) will be removed from the agenda since there was no change. Exhibit E1 (Graduate Studies Committee [GSC] review) will remain on the agenda for discussion. The question arose about adding the exact number of faculty for extra clarity. It was noted that this idea was taken into consideration and decided against so that when there is a creation of a new college, the wording is adaptable as the university evolves without having to amend rules. Proportionate representation of graduate students per colleges was asked and it was noted none of committees have propionate representation with exception of Faculty Senate itself.
