She also presented the same power point at the All-College meeting on May 17th. Of the 4 community colleges Great Basin has the only positive enrollments of; FTE 15% and Head count 26%, CSN currently has enrollments of -31% FTE and -31% Head count, TMCC currently has enrollments of -17% FTE and -14% Head count, WNC currently has enrollments of -13% FTE and -12% Head count. Update from Vice President of BA, Sonja Sibert: Not available for an update. Updates from Vice President of AA/SA, Jake Hinton-Rivera: While there was a 6% decline in enrollment for the spring semester, the overall enrollment remained the same as last year. The summer enrollment numbers are down about 12% in FTE compared to last year. The fall semester enrollments have had a good start, FTE is up 13% and the 22% head count. Our sister institutions are currently down for fall enrollments; CSN -31%, TMCC -17%, and WNC -13%. This Academic year there were some changes to some of the buildings including fixture updates in the Student Life Game room as well as some fixture updates in Student Housing. The I.D.E.A.S. committee completed their task of developing a college diversity plan. A technology plan has also been started and is near completion as well. The curricular review task force has finished their work and the summary will be shared in September. This work has resulted in many changes that were made throughout the academic year. This summer will be used to develop a template that will allow the committee to move quickly this fall on a new strategic plan that will guide the work and goals. There have been some faculty and staff retirements and resignations that were expected before the end of the academic year and they are already working on filling those vacancies. Senate Chair Report: Verbal, Written Leadership Council met April 20th, the following item was recommended by Faculty Senate and approved at the meeting: the 3 changes from Curriculum review. Council of Chairs: the monthly meeting with the Chancellor and NSHE staff was held on May 6th. The meeting was mainly an update on Legislative issues; at the time of the meeting the 12% reductions were finalized, there is a possible late July special session, merit pay was discussed there is no money from the legislature, but institutions are allowed to budget 1%. July1st is the target date to have all employees back on campus that have been working remotely and campuses should work to create flexible work policies. The student vaccine mandate can not be done since the vaccine is under emergency use, if approved by the FDA a mandate will be considered for students. International travel will have to be approved by the Chancellor and the Governor. NSHE ad-hoc Fiscal Sustainability Committee next meeting is May 27th at 1pm. Faculty Senate Vice Chair nominations: Donald Jones was the only nominee and has accepted the position. Approval of Minutes: ACTION Eric Walsh motioned to approve the meeting minutes of April 16th. Justine Stout seconded the motion. Motion passed. Standing Committee Reports: Academic Standards & AssessmentNo Report Bylaws....Written, Verbal Report, Action Bylaws revision of Article VII pertaining to Senate committees, this is the rewording and restructuring of the Distance Education committee; changing its name to Instructional Technology and rewording the bylaws language itself for charges and composition. Daniel Bergey motioned to approve the Bylaws changes. Daniel Murphree seconded the motion. Motion passed. Compensation & BenefitsWritten, Verbal Report, Action Compensation and Benefits has been tasked with finding an equitable option for the online multiplier and also looking at the overload per credit rate, which was established in 2011 at $750.00 and has not been reviewed since then. The committee also looked at the part time instructors per credit rate of $800.00, it is higher than full time. The committee has made the recommendation to replace the online multiplier with increasing the per credit rate to $850.00 for lower division and $1062.50 for upper division. This change requires the approval of the Chancellors office and the Board of Regents. The committee felt strongly that all class have a strong online component and it is no longer online versus live classes anymore; there are hybrid, IAV, and all the classes now have a component of online. The committee also recommended that the section sizes be increased to 30 students, and for additional sections of the same course in the same semester. If there is more than 30 students and more than 10 in that additional section, you would be paid for a full section. If it falls below 10, from1-9, it would be run as an independent study. The committee recommends additional pay for redeveloping of existing classes, for an example a live course going to an online format. It is expected that each faculty member has to update their courses yearly, this additional pay would be for beyond and above that and would need to be discussed with the Dean. Included with these implementations a review a year from now and then add to the policy that the compensation rate for overload pay is to be reviewed every two years. The rate increase to be implemented July of 2021. The committee recommends changing the verbiage of the Workload policy. The committee proposes removing all wording related to the online multiplier and calculations. As well as remove the word telecourse because we no longer offer those. The committee recommends for the faculty that have to oversee student teachers increasing the workload from 1 to 1.5 if a student it moved into a long-term substitution position. As well as the new substitution policy. Dave Sexton made a motion to table the item. Daniel Bergey seconded the motion to table the item. Daniel Murphree asked for discussion as to why the item is being tabled. Dave Sexton presented the following reasons: The Social Sciences Department requests that this action item be tabled until such time that it can be adequately reviewed by 鶹ӰԺ Faculty and voted on by the full Faculty Senate Compensation and Benefits Committee. It is the opinion of the departments members that this action item should not receive a Faculty Senate vote at this time, for the following reasons: The proposed changes are significant and have not been properly reviewed and vetted by faculty. One week at the close of the semester when faculty are engaged in grading, assessment and other teaching related activities is clearly not a good time nor adequate time to review such an important policy recommendation as it relates to pay and workload. In the spirit of transparency and shared governance all faculty should have ample opportunity to review and discuss any changes to workload and pay prior to a voteby FacultySenate. It is incumbent that a broader discussion takes place. The subcommittee formed by the Faculty Senate Chair proposed these changes to workload policy. However, the full committee never voted on moving this item forward as an action item. The full committee should have reviewed this proposal. This was a sub-committee of Compensation and Benefits, not an independent ad hoc committee. Shared governance also applies in faculty discussion--a broader discussion should have occurred with the entire committee before this proposal was forwarded as an action item. A major part of this recommended policy (Section 1) relates to the issue ofestablishing equity across all teaching modalities and faculty. Yet the subcommittee formed by the Faculty Senate Chair was not representative of the faculty population. The subcommittee did not include representatives from the Arts and Sciences Division (Arts and Letters, Library, Math, Social Sciences, Science) or part-time faculty. The full Compensation and Benefits Committee includes multiple members from the Arts and Sciences Division, however none of those members were appointed to the subcommittee. This proposal contains six separate and very complex workload and pay issues. In each section there are areas that require further clarification, consideration, and discussion. Faculty need more time to do this. One week at this point in the semester is inadequate. Daniel Bergey added that Daves comments reflected his own comments as well as most of his departments. Brandy Nielsen agreed that there was not enough time to vet such an important complex policy. Kevin Seipp called for a roll call vote: Nicholas Cooley = Aye Brandy Nielsen = Aye Norman Whittaker (Proxy) = No response Matt Nichols = Aye Veronica Nelson (Proxy) = Aye Laura Pike = Abstain Kurt Overall = Nay Oscar Sida (Proxy) = Nay Tami Potter (Proxy) = Aye Justine Stout = Aye Eric Walsh = Aye Daniel Murphree = Aye Daniel Bergey = Aye David Sexton = Aye Jennifer Brown = Aye Ryan Hathaway = Aye Jennifer Steiger = Aye Denise Padilla (Proxy) = Aye Tim Beasley = Abstain The motion to table the Compensation and Benefits workload policy passed with Nay votes, 2 Abstain votes, and 14 Aye votes. Curriculum Review.Written Report Distance Education....No Report Gen Ed Committee.Written Report Personnel.....No Report Strategic Planning, ad hoc.No Report Unfinished Business: Information Only Resolution on course delivery format for fall semester Brian Zeiszler and Kevin Seipp met with VP Rivera last week to discuss this and there has not been a formal decision on course delivery for the fall semester. We are moving forward with the last update to proceed with hybrid or online models currently. It is a dynamic situation and can change any time. Evaluation Considerations: Tabled from the last meeting so it could be discussed with departments. A proposal was made at the previous meeting to change the evaluation process due to the pandemic to allow for consideration due to special conditions. Dave Sexton motioned to approve the changes to the faculty evaluation process. Daniel Murphree seconded the motion. 2 Abstain votes. Motion passed. New Business: Information Items: IDEAS Task Force update: The task force spent the year developing a plan and has come up with an overall philosophy statement and a 2-year action plan. The taskforce will be composed of 5 main sub committees with specific goals in mind. The executive group will consist of the chairs from the sub committees and other individuals that are important to projects that will be for 2023 and beyond. This includes working towards the designation of an HSI which includes Title IV funding.
