Academic Policy Committee. Senator Kristopher Grimes

An attendance policy is in progress.

Curriculum Committee Senator Changzheng Wang

No meeting and no report.

Professional Concerns Committee Senator Gary Stratton

The committee is working with the provost and Dr. Thompson of CPE regarding the suspended tenure and promotion process. The committee has also communicated with facilities about trash and HVAC issues in some buildings. Issues flagged for next year's committee include a process for setting adjunct pay. From various senators came suggestions that PCC should examine the awarding of credit toward tenure and promotion for work at other institutions and the place of Dual Credit in load calculation for full-time faculty.

Budget and Academic Support Committee Senator Jennifer Ballard-Kang

BASC has invited Interim CFO Shields to our next meeting, and he will attend. Anyone who wants to join that meeting should email Jennifer Ballard-Kang.

Other Business

On behalf of the Faculty Elections Committee, Dr. Ballard-Kang noted that nominations are needed for Faculty Senate at large representative, University Tenure and Promotion Committee, the Post-Tenure Review Committee, and the Faculty Recognition Committee. Questions were raised by senators about the accuracy of the current committee rosters for some of these. Other senators questioned whether we should even elect a Tenure and Promotion Committee for next year since tenure has been suspended by the provisions of HB 250. Senators noted that the Faculty Senate Executive Committee should consider these questions.

Adjournment

The Faculty Senate adjourned at 10:19 a.m.
