Provost Reichardt indicated that this has been the season of reports and data gathering.  There have been an incredible number of reports put together in the last month or so.  This has culminated in a Financial Review.   This year tha
t review broaden to include a review of academic projections. 
\par 
\par The second item is Provost Reichardt is beginning to appoint a search committee for a Vice-Provost for Graduate and Instructional Affairs.   The will be a position that in part replaces the De
an of the Graduate School and adds some other responsibilities to that position.  There are two dean searches that are getting started:  CLA and SFOS.  Those will be national searches.  The fourth search committee is for director of Summer Session.  That 
will be within Alaska recruitment.  
\par 
\par Provost Reichardt's advise on the GO Bond package is to vote!  What is in the bond package is essential for UAF.  There is a section in the financial review where each MAU is supposed to give their vision for FY09.  UAF
 chose to organize that vision around facilities.  We are at a stage of development where some of these facilities are absolutely critic to us moving forward as an institution.

\par 
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Peter McRoy as
ked for more information about the Vice-Provost position.  Reichardt indicated that the position of the Dean of the Graduate School was created in 1993.  Originally it was a half-time position.  Through time the salary line was moved up to a full-time exe
c
utive position.  Under Dean Kan he has charged only about seven months.  His teaching and research grants have covered the other five months.  So, the funding is there for a full-time position.  Kan's experience is that is not needed for oversight of the 
g
raduate program.  Reichardt has found there are other things that need attention.  This includes outcomes assessment and program review.  He looked at the need to have a central academic administration.  We would be better off with a full-time administrat
or taking over some of those other responsibilities while retaining for the Graduate School.  It is not his intention to diminish the graduate school.  This range of responsibilities balances with Vice-Provost of Research.

\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {Godwin Chukwu indicated that President Hamilton was invited to give a presentation on the proposed tuition increase.
\par }\pard \fi-720\li720\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par }\pard \widctlpar\adjustright {President Hamilton presented his case for the increased tuition.  Tuition at the University of Alaska system has increased at the rate of inflation for the past six years.  Las
t year we had the smallest increase in the nation.  The national average was approximately 10.5 percent.  President Hamilton indicated that it is about time for a substantial increase.  It has taken us a while to increase the value of the education at the
 
University of Alaska.  We were down a third of our faculty and staff.  In the past three years we have made enormous changes including the hiring of 220 faculty and 500 staff, and outside funding has increased.  The education is simply more valued.  We ar
e
 producing a better product.  Our numbers compared with others in the lower 48 in lots of ways.  We are the cheapest state university in the nation.  In terms of the community college, we are a university that embraces the additional responsibility of the
 
community college role in the state.  Our offerings far exceed that of a traditional community college.  Most community colleges are supported by both communities and the state.  This greatly reduces the cost to the student.  The average increase in wages
 
earned is 17%.  Most universities look at tuition in terms of student aid.  We have increased our financial aid $5.6 million over the past three years.  Tuition and fees have only increased $5.3 million in the past three years.  We have not matched the am
o
unt of student aid.  Scholarships are up 28%, available scholarship dollars have increased 72%.  UAF has eliminated all fees under $40 associated with courses; this has led to a decrease in the number of course sections with fees 11%.   On the federal lev
e
l there has been the establishment of the Hope Scholarship.  It gives tax credits to working students.  We have provided value for our tuition.  Tuition is about 30% lower in the spectrum of universities.  Tuition is an important part in our long-term fis
cal survival.  
\par 
\par Peter McRoy asked how much was the increase in tuition.  For a student taking a 3 credit hour class, it would mean an additional $24 dollars.  President Hamilton would like an increase for the next two years.  Peter McRoy asked about feedba
ck from the students.  President Hamilton indicated that he has spent about three hours with the student leaders across the state.  Students understand the need for the increase.  Full-time degree-seeking students taking 30 credit hours over two semesters
 will pay an additional $270.  The entire 10% increase in tuition is worth about $8 million.  
\par 
\par Ron Illingworth indicated that rural students he has heard from are not in favor of the tuition raise per se.  The new faculty are not in CRA.  Most of their new
 faculty are term or grant funded.  There is not increase in the number of faculty teaching.  Another area of concern is the access for part-time students to scholarships.  There are not many and the dollar value has not increased.  Agency funding for par
t-time students has been decreasing.  If you look at what the students have access to it's only a small portion of what the university offers unless they leave their community.  
\par 
\par President Hamilton indicated that CRA has enjoyed a 32% increase in authorize
d budget; UAF has had 24%.  Faculty and staff hired under grants add value.  It's not the same value, but it does add value to education.  He will suggest to the Board that directors of community campuses have the authority to waive 5% of their tuition do
llars. Too often he is told that we currently have dividends that provide funds that can be used for education. A needs based scholarship is essential.
\par 
\par Larry Duffy asked about a contingency plan for tuition raise.  President Hamilton does not have any cont
ingency plan because he doesn't want to be in a bargaining role.  Our sustainment level is at an unbelievable amount.  The reality of it is, national we are not doing our job.  Our tuition covers about 41% of instruction.  Nationally it is approximately 7
0%.

\par Pete Pinney reported on the Ad Hoc Committee on Classified Research.  Last week the committee had a conversation with Kelley Knickerbocker and Ma
lcolm Parks from the University of Washington.  They have conducted classified research on their campus.  They have been working with issues of how to have an open campus with classified research policy in place.  The ad hoc committee will meet on Tuesday
, October 29th in the IARC building to work on draft policy language.  They hope to create a "white paper" on the discussion issues and report back to the Faculty Affairs Committee.

overnance Coordinating Committee met on October 8th and approved the AY 2003-2004 calendar.  One issue that arose was All Campus Day.  What actually does it mean and what do students do on that day.  He has written a letter to Derek Miller, student body p
resident, asking him to define the activities of the day.  We need to look at the need for such a day.  
\par 
\par There was a Provost Council meeting where they discussed the Senator of the Year Award.  The Deans are willing to help support the remuneration of the award.  They requested involvement in the process.  That motion is before the Senate today.  
\par 
\par The Faculty Alliance held a meeting on October 11th followed by a retreat with the President.  They had a presentation on the tuition raise.  Godwin Chukwu spoke
 about the action of the President regarding a review of the bylaws of the UAS Faculty Senate By-laws and Constitution.   A proposal by SAC to develop procedures for a University distinguished professor has been sent to a subcommittee. 
\par 
\par Salary compression and equity will be discussed with collective bargaining negiotitons.  
\par 
\par The new chair of the Faculty Alliance is Janet Dye from UAS.  She will take over the chair in January from Brandon Kelly who has accepted a position as Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at UAS.  Next year the chair will be from UAF.  
\par 
\par Godwin Chukwu has recommended Ron Illingworth to be a member of the Academic Advising Committee, to be appointed by the Chancellor.  Abel Bult-Ito has been appointed as Budget Liaison between the Senate and the Provost Council.    
\par 
\par The Provost will be up for review this year.  Godwin Chukwu met with the Chancellor and the committee will soon be appointed.  
\par 
\par A list of volunteers for the Academic Program Review has been compiled and sent to the Provo
st.  They are waiting for Hild Peters to return before forming committees.  Larry Duffy asked how the committees would be formed.  Paul Reichardt indicated that each committee would have one member from the unit or program being reviewed, one person exter
nal to UAF, and three UAF faculty not from the unit.  More volunteers are needed.  This is good practice for those coming up for review next year.

\par \tab C.\tab Staff Council - L. Ledlow
\par 
\par Rory O'Neill, president-elect of Staff Council, summarized Larry Ledlow's October report to the Staff Council.  
\par 
\par The Governance Coordinating Committee met on October 8th.  Larry Ledlow described the new Ad Hoc Committee on Diversity and Tolerance formed by Staff Council and suggested developing activities involving members from 
all three constituencies.  The Ad Hoc Committee met on October 10th and elected Maya Salganek as chair. 
\par 
\par The Reduction in Force policy in development at the GI has undergone several administrative reviews.  This stems from the renewal contract with NASA o
f the SAR facility and possible reduction in force.  They are working with Carolyn Chapman on a policy for dealing with the reduction in workforce.  
\par 
\par Staff Council is looking at health care cost.  A positive outcome has been the establishment of a working committee, which include staff to look at costs.  
\par 
\par There are employee recognitions.  Carolyn Chapman presented a UAF employee recognition policy.  It is MAU specific.  It has been approved by Chancellor Lind and sits on President Hamilton's desk.  It ela
borated on informal and formal recognition including bonuses. 
\par 
\par Larry Duffy asked if Staff Council has discussed the GO Bonds and the proposed tuition increase.  Rory O'Neill indicated that they have been discussed at Staff Alliance and will be taken up at the next Staff Council meeting.  
\par 
\par 
\par \tab D.\tab ASUAF - D. Miller
\par 
\par Godwin Chukwu announced that Derek Miller has been appointed as Student Regent.  
\par 
\par Derek Miller indicated that ASUAF has been very busy this year.  They started the year with a retreat at Circle H
ot Spring where we set the agenda for the rest of the year.  It was goal setting for the group.  They have a full Senate right now.  Elections will be held December 3-4.  
\par 
\par Items they are taking up include the function of the Graduate Student Organization (GSO).  Brodie Anderson is working as liaison with the GSO.  They will be looking at incorporating them into ASUAF.  
\par 
\par The student Senate formed an ad hoc student representation committee.  The committee will help reach some of the goals they have for ASUA
F which includes trying to get student membership on all the committees and boards which need student input.  That includes Staff Council and Faculty Senate.  The committee will come out with a full report at the beginning of next semester.  
\par 
\par Next semester ASUAF is planning an annual summit.  The idea behind the summit is that it will be one day where we designate a day for student government and organization to come together and discuss student issues.  
\par 
\par Derek Miller was pleased to say that this is the first year that TVC students have not complained about the student activity fee.  ASUAF now has a student liaison at TVC.  They are making headway at including TVC students.  
\par 
\par Another big thing is they will be trying is on-line elections for the student government elections in November.  
\par 
\par Derek Miller received a memo from Godwin Chukwu concerning All Campus Day.  He summarized a memo on All campus day from Sarah Comstock from last year, which he will forward to the Governance Coordinating Committee.  It ba
sically states that All Campus Day has been in existence since 1958.   Activities included clean-up day, mud ball game, and university hall review.  These activities continued through the mid-1980s with the addition of the faculty/staff breakfast and the 
w
atermelon feast.  In 1985 the mud ball game became the mud volleyball, the watermelon feast became the watermelon drop, and the name was changed to Spring Melt Down.  With the exception of the university hall review is no longer done, most of the original
 
activities remain relatively the same.  Over the years Student Activities office has programmed events to coincide with Melt Down/All Campus Day.  These include the outdoor movie and the annual barbecue held at the Cutler Apt.  Finally, tradition of All C
a
mpus Day is long standing.  It is a high energy, fun filled event each year that is looked forward to by the entire campus community.   Our students deserve an opportunity to celebrate a successful academic year and the advent of the spring season.  Godwi
n Chukwu indicated that he was looking at the need to have both a study day and All Campus Day at the end of the semester.  
\par 
\par Linda Curda asked about the tuition increase and whether the President has discussed the tuition increase.  Derek Miller indicated 
that the President made a presentation to the Coalition.  The Coalition conducted a survey of student with over 1,000 responses.  Seventy-four percent responded no to the increase.  Linda Curda indicated that many of the rural students are not able to tak
e advantage of scholarships and that a tuition increase is a critical issue to the rural students.  
\par 
\par Joy Morrison asked about ASUAF's effort to get out the vote.  Derek Miller indicated that 90% of the student are registered to vote.  Last week a local candidate forum was held on campus.  The Sun Star will have a 24-page insert on the candidates.

\par PURPOSE: 
\par 
\par The Outstanding Senator(s) of the year award is an award to be given
 by the UAF Faculty Senate for truly outstanding contribution of service for academic quality at the University.  The contribution to be recognized would be far beyond that normally made by an individual in the normal performance of his or her job.

\par 
\par The recipient should be a serving member of the UAF Faculty Senate or a serving member of a permanent or standing committee of the Faculty Senate who has made a major contribution to the faculty's and student's welfare, to the faculty's ability to
 carry out its duties more effectively, to the general betterment of the University outside the teaching and research function, or has shown wise and courageous leadership (and responsibility) in behalf of the faculty and University.  This should be an aw
ard for service, not teaching or research, above and beyond that normally expected from an individual.  
\par 
\par NON-ELIGIBILITY:  
\par 
\par The President and President-Elect of the Faculty Senate are not eligible to receive this award in their positions during their years of service.  
\par 
\par PROCEDURES:  
\par 
\par Any eligible Faculty Senate member may nominate a candidate for the OSYA.  The letter of nomination should include a brief list of the Senator's accomplishments and a cover letter that makes the case for the nominee.  The no
mination should be submitted to the Faculty Senate President by March 1.  
\par 
\par The Screening Committee will consist of five members.  One member will be appointed from the Provost Council by the Provost.  The Faculty Senate will select four (4) members one of
 whom will be the President-Elect, and three others, none of whom is a nominee, in the March meeting of the Senate.  This committee will meet prior to the April meeting of the Senate to screen all applicants and select one or two candidates that are recom
mended to the Senate President.  
\par 
\par In the April Faculty Senate meeting, the committee shall move the appropriate resolution(s).  After appropriate discussion, the full Senate shall vote by secret ballot on the motions.  A simple majority vote of those atten
ding will be necessary for the Senate to confirm an OSYA.  The votes will be counted by the President and Secretary of the Senate, and the award is announced by the President of the Senate.  
\par 
\par The award is to be presented by the President of the Senate and
 the form of the award shall be a framed, hand-lettered certificate that contains the resolution passed by the Senate and the signatures of the Faculty Senate President and President-Elect[[, and a cash award]].

\par 
\par 
\par Dear Dr. Box,
\par 
\par I would like to thank both you and Dr. Leguard for taking the time to share with me your concerns, and the concerns of other faculty members, regarding the bookstore\rquote 
s textbook adoption policies.  I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about this matter, and also your offer to pass along to other faculty members this summary of our discussion. 
\par 
\par The most important message I would like to convey is an assurance to you and all of the other faculty members that it is not bookstore policy to substitute a textbook of our choosing
 for the textbook that the instructor has selected.   We realize that the textbook is a valuable learning tool, and that we have neither the knowledge to select that tool for the instructor, or the right to disrupt the planned learning process by making a
n
 unauthorized textbook substitution.  Unfortunately, it appears that several textbook orders for the fall semester were filled with books that were different either in edition or format from the books that were ordered, without prior knowledge of the inst
ructor.  This is inexcusable and should never happen.  Because of this lapse in communication on our part, the bookstore has developed the following procedure to deal with requested textbooks that are no longer available:
\par 
\par }\pard \fi-360\li720\ri360\widctlpar\adjustright {*\tab If a textbook is not available as ordered, no matter what the reason (old edition, out of stock, now bundled with something else, etc\u8230\'c9
.) the textbook department will attempt to contact the instructor immediately by phone to discuss the textbook options available.
\par *\tab If the instructor can\rquote 
t be reached by phone, the textbook department will e-mail both the instructor, and the department administrative assistant. (If an instructor is off contract, or otherwise unavailable via the contact points listed in the UAF directory, it would be helpfu
l to us if an alternate method of contact is listed on the textbook adoption form.)  
\par *\tab If the textbook department doesn\rquote t hear back from the instructor or the administrative assistant by the time the order needs to be placed for timely arrival, the textboo
k coordinator will use his best judgment and order the edition the publisher deems a substitute for the edition the instructor has selected, but is no longer available. We will not substitute titles (only new editions for old editions, bundle packed for t
extbook only, etc.) and we will only substitute editions if we are advised the edition ordered is no longer available.  The textbook department will then send a notification/explanation letter to the department.  
\par *\tab As a resource, approximately one month pr
ior to the start of the semester, the bookstore will send a report to each department listing all of the books on order for that department.  Books ordered for individual classes can also be viewed on the bookstore\rquote s website: }{\cs24\ul\cf2 
www.uaf.edu/bookstore}{ via the \ldblquote textbook lists\rdblquote  link.  The bookstore\rquote 
s website also features a textbook adoption link where faculty members can both adopt books online, and research the textbook adoption history of all UAF courses for the last three years. 
\par }\pard \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par We hope that these measures will prevent the type of problems that occurred this fall.  If you or other faculty members have any questions or comments regarding bookstore procedure, please don\rquote 
t hesitate to contact me at extension 5275, or the Textbook Coordinator, Steve Tate, at extension 5778.

Larry Duffy spoke about the proposed tuition increase and the benefits associated with the increased funds.  We have a good product, a value added product.  In order to keep that momentum and to maintain the quality faculty that we have, it's ti
me for the faculty to step forward and say that we want to provide that and the only way maintain the infrastructure at UAF is for the students to become partners with the state.  Rainer Newberry proposed an amendment to strike the first clause.  He felt 
t
hat it was opinion and did not fit with the tone of the resolution.  The amendment passed with 4 nays.  An amendment was proposed to change the last whereas to clarify the cost per credit at the various levels.  The amendment passed unanimously.  Peter Mc
R
oy stated about the increased number of faculty was due to the initiative process.  Larry Duffy spoke about the benefits of these new faculty members to all students.  Ron Illingworth spoke against the resolution stating that the additional services and f
a
culty are not equally available to rural students.  Larry Duffy responded that discretion money through the use of tuition waivers is available to rural campuses.  Jenifer McBeath stated that 1) the bottom line is should we have a tuition increase or not,
 
and 2) is the language.   The tuition is justifiable, but the language equates the effectiveness and quality of education to the numbers of faculty and staff increases.  This is not necessarily true.  She proposed an amendment to reflect the quality inste
ad of the numbers.  It was stated that the first amendment deleted the statement about quality.  The amendment failed by a vote of 7 yes and 10 nays.  The resolution passed with a vote of 15 yes, and 6 nays.

\par \tab F.\tab Resolution on KUAC debates
\par 
\par Abel Bult-Ito introduced the resolution that was seconded by Bret Luick.  The preamble and whereas explain why they feel a resolution is necessary.  Abel Bult-Ito 
felt that the gubernatorial debate that took place on October 22nd, organized by KUAC, and supported by the University of Alaska was restricted, selective, and closed and flew in the face of the UAF mission to be inclusive, diverse, and open.  
\par 
\par Rainer New
berry spoke against the resolution and felt it was pointless.  Joy Morrison spoke in favor of the resolution and indicated that this would give general guidelines for future reference.  Larry Duffy spoke about the needs to have a more general resolution. 
 
Bill Schneider had questions of Robert Hannon about the considerations for the changes to the venue for the debate.  Robert Hannon spoke about the logistics that related to the change of date.  Mark Box read a memo against the proposed resolution.  Bret L
u
ick spoke about his involvement in a statewide venue.  He supports a wide variety of public forums.  Larry Duffy feels that the faculty should support a resolution that covers a broader arena.   There was some discussion about referring the resolution to 
committee.  It was decided that would not accomplish anything.  
\par 
\par The resolution failed by a vote of 8 yes and 12 nays.  
\par 
\par ---------------------------------
\par 
\par The Faculty Senate, upon recommendation of Faculty Senators Bret Luick and Abel Bult-Ito, moves to adopt the following resolution:
\par 
\par PREAMBLE
\par 
\par The gubernatorial debate organized for 17 October 2002 between Alaska Lieutenant Governor Fran Ulmer and US Senator Frank Murkowski was cancelled and rescheduled for 22 October 2002.  This should have given KUAC a
 unique opportunity to address concerns about the format of the debate as expressed by several UAF faculty members before and during the 23 September 2002 Faculty Senate meeting.  Although Robert P. Hannon, KUAC FM News Producer, indicated prior to and du
r
ing this meeting that he was willing to make several concessions to accommodate some of the faculty members' concerns, none of those were evident in the 22 October 2002 debate.  Therefore, the above named Faculty Senators hereby request consideration of t
he resolution stated below to indicate disapproval of the formats of the gubernatorial debate that were planned for 17 October 2002 and actually took place on 22 October 2002.  The resolution outlines the reasons for this disapproval.
\par 
\par RESOLUTION FAILED:
\par ===============
\par 
\par WHEREAS, The ҹɫ¸£Àû (UAF) is a publicly funded institution; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, UAF's mission states that UAF "as the nation's northernmost Land, Sea, and Space Grant university and international research center, advances a
nd disseminates knowledge through creative teaching, research, and public service with an emphasis on Alaska, the North and their diverse peoples"; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, National Public Radio (NPR)'s founding charter states that NPR's role is to "serve groups whose voices would otherwise go unheard"; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, The public radio station KUAC uses UAF facilities and receives support from UAF; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, A gubernatorial debate on campus should have been an opportunity for the UAF community to engage themselves in the democratic process through an open and public forum; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, The Salisbury Theater is UAF property and a gubernatorial debate was planned by KUAC on 17 October 2002 in the Salisbury Theater; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, This gubernatorial debate was restricted to only the Democratic and Republican Party candidates; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, The majority of questions asked of the candidates during the debate would have been screened by the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner and KUAC, and only handpicked audience participants would
 have been allowed to be present in person during this debate; and
\par 
\par WHEREAS, During the 22 October 2002 rescheduled gubernatorial debate, organized by KUAC in their studio in a UAF facility and sponsored by the University of Alaska, only the Democratic and
 Republican Party candidates were present and invited, and no audience was present; now
\par 
\par THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the UAF Faculty Senate does not endorse gubernatorial debates that follow these formats; and
\par 
\par BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the UAF Faculty Senate strongly encourages KUAC to hold future gubernatorial debates on UAF property in an open and public forum without undue restrictions on recognized gubernatorial candidates or audience participants.

\par 
\par Ron Illingworth indicated that while he strongly supports shared governance at UAF and the concept of representative fa
culty governance, he is concerned about the vote on the resolution in support of the 10% tuition increase.  The divide on rural/urban lines seems to reflect a return to and disregard of the rural needs by an urban majority.
