1. Memo to Senate (Exhibit C). –Discussion regarding minimum of 2 GPA, this issue was raised in AAC and as this is more of an individualized issue and that the Senate does not know enough knowledge about each certificates programs to make that decision. It was noted that AAC would be happy to review this.

March 14, 2013

To: Faculty Senate

From: Craig Parks Chair, Academic Affairs

Re: Minimum GPA requirement for certificates

At the Senate meeting of 28 February, Academic Affairs was directed to take up the question of whether a 2.00 minimum GPA is appropriate for certificate programs. We discussed this at the AAC meeting of 6 March. Our conclusion is that the current policy is sufficient, though departments with certificate programs should be reminded that they may establish a higher GPA requirement if they so desire. We feel that individual programs know best what constitutes minimum competence in the focus area. Particular disciplines may see someone with a “C” average as ready to apply the skills that the certificate program has helped them develop, whereas others may see such a student as deficient in one or more skills. In fact, a number of certificate programs already use 2.50 as the minimum required GPA (e.g., Professional Sales certificate through the College of Business, Early Childhood Development and Care certificate through the Department of Human Development), so it may be that departments are moving toward a uniformly higher standard anyway. That said, we would be happy to entertain a proposal should one be put forth, but AAC does not see a need to initiate such a proposal at this time.

Senate Chair candidate statement—Craig Parks

I believe that the Chair of the Faculty Senate has twin responsibilities: To clearly and accurately represent faculty preferences, thoughts, and concerns to the President and Provost; and to ensure that issues are fairly discussed during Senate meetings by providing the opportunity for all points of view to be introduced and discussed, and keeping discussion time focused on the issue at hand. As part of this second responsibility, I believe the Chair needs to make sure that the Senate’s permanent committees are functional rather than dysfunctional, led and staffed by individuals who are committed to the charge of the committee, and see it as an opportunity to do good work for WSU, rather than as a nuisance or a mere chance to bolster one’s annual review. In my view, the standing committees currently function well, so it will not be difficult to accomplish this goal.

I do not see the Chair as either always doing the President’s bidding or functioning as a permanent thorn in his side. Rather, the Chair needs to work with the President to help determine and do what is best for the WSU community at large. This can usually be done in a collaborative manner, but sometimes tough questions need to be asked, and objections raised. I have no problem doing this. I spent eight years as the graduate director in Psychology, and six as the editor of one of my subdiscipline’s top journals, so I am well-experienced in pointing out things that others might not want to hear. I also take the position that what is best for the community may not necessarily appeal to everyone. I will make sure that all points of view are heard and taken seriously, but I do not agree with weakening the most broadly-supported initiative simply to appease a small minority. That said, I will always be the strongest supporter of the Senate’s preferences.

A new endeavor that especially excites me is the collaboration of the faculty senates across the Pac-12 schools. This is modeled after an approach used successfully by the Big Ten. I see this as a way to help us build research and resource connections to other schools in our conference. These connections will only help us as we continue to fight for state dollars, and will give us access to eleven other senates that will have addressed issues that we might now face. I will build on the efforts of our recent chairs to help this conference consortium grow.

Thank you for considering me for this critical leadership position.

    1. Discussion: Concern over the wording of proposed change in the Faculty Manual and about the percentage part contained in the last sentence. Is it appropriate to have this sentence? Concern was raised if it would be a burden to that department in the event there were no funds during budget shortfalls, as well as this boxing the faculty in? It was noted this practice was already being done and it was just a matter of adding in verbiage to make it official, but if enough concerns were raised, this sentence could be removed. The Provost advised this language was good protection for faculty.

Constituents’ Concerns.

Question was raised about why no discussion items would be on the April 11th agenda. It was noted that this meeting is the last meeting for discussion items, and normally anything not on this agenda will be added to the agenda for next academic year.

Question on the number and allocation of senators to the College of Arts and Sciences.

The Legislative Affairs Committee met with Nick Lovrich and he advised this session has been more complex this year, but he is cautiously optimistic. It was noted Nick will not be able to give a definitive report by the last senate meeting.

Election of Officers. As implemented last year, we will do the same process wherein ballots will go directly to the IT office and 2 others will be present along with the Dorene Branson and Ken Struckmeyer to count ballots.

Steering Committee will meet with the Athletic Director regarding plans for 10/31 game and to gain insight on how logistics will be handled, as well as a venue to hear the faculty’s concerns. A request will be made that the faculty be involved in their planning process that involves a Thursday game.

Concern on the 123 Degree proposal, also known as the “Assured Pathways” and the concern brought forth was “this idea is not a good means of achieving the President’s goal of large numbers of 4,000 new students each year. We would request the Faculty Senate to consider asking the President and Provost to drop the idea and instead encourage colleges to continue with more traditional undergraduate recruitment and retention efforts- which seem to be working just fine anyway”. It was noted this will be channeled through the Academic Affairs Committee.

Concern with salary disparity among new hires or if a person is hired in the capacity as an administrator, then chooses to step down from said position but still retains the high level salary compared to this colleagues in the same position. Is there a remedy in place to correct these issues? It was noted that President Floyd is aware of this issue and there is a drop down clause on all academic contracts. The Faculty Senate officers will bring this up next week with the President at their regular meeting. It was noted that in the past salary disparity has been discussed with administration.

Adjournment.

The meeting adjourned at 4:13p.m.

Ken Struckmeyer, Executive Secretary
