Approval of minutes: Action A motion was made and seconded to approve Faculty Senate Minutes from the February 15, 2013 meeting. There were 2 proxies recorded. The motion passed unanimously. senate chair report: Information Chair Freistoffer invited VP Sonja Sibert to attend todays meeting to answer any questions regarding salary issues. Chair Freistroffer gave a power point presentation on where we are going to go with salaries over the next few years. There has been a BOR code change regarding salaries. Chair Freistroffer explained the change and also the back ground of the salary schedule. Most of this applies to academic faculty however; some does apply to administrative faculty. Chair Freistroffer explained what equity is. The BOR requires us to create an equity plan. The way to fix the inequities is by creating the equity salary adjustment plan, which will be voted on today. The Comp & Benefits committee will be working with VPAA McFarlane on the equity issue. Benchmarks could be a way to make up for many years of lost salary without retroactively getting the salary. A question was asked about the time frame that this could happen. There is no real time line. The Governors budget is allowing for merit in the second year of the biennium. Faculty need to work on the merit policy and procedure bylaw until it is right. Merit is funded by the legislature and needs to be in place by next spring. COLA is a separate appropriation. The budget does not have COLA in it. The money comes from different areas. Equity comes from the institution by dissolving faculty positions. Merit funds come from the legislature. Benchmark advancement comes from the institution, dissolving faculty positions. COLA would come from the legislature. Sonja clarified that if the legislature gave us more money, than they do now, for equity and benchmark advancement, we wouldnt have to dissolve positions. Prospects for the future, Chair Freistroffer will be working with Vice-Chair, Tom Reagan, salary equity would be a Comp & Benefits committee meeting, and the Equity Plan directs them to do that. Merit and benchmark advancement will also go to the Comp & Benefits committee to be done by April of next year. Administrative faculty are in the same boat as teaching faculty. It was suggested that administrative faculty form their own committee within the Comp & Benefits committee. It should be discussed as to how this will work through Comp & Benefits. Chair Freistroffer called for a sense of the Senate to direct the Comp & Benefits committee to work with administration to set an initial placement scheme that: Strictly requires that new hires not come in at a higher salary than existing faculty with the same experience. Requires that new hires enter at 2.5% below existing faculty with the same experience on the adjacent lower grade (i.e. non-tenured have to be 2.5 % lower than tenured with same educational attainment). If new hires need to be at a higher pay than this, they can still be off scale (0 track), not tenure track. Faculty realizes this may make hiring difficult. Chair Freistroffer called for a motion to direct the Comp & Benefits committee to start work on this issue. Carrie Bruno moved to approve and Cindy Hyslop seconded the motion. There were 10 abstentions. Motion passes. The Equity Salary Adjustment plan action. The point of the plan is to have a direction or guidelines to do the equity adjustments. More details can be worked on, as time goes by, but since this needs to be done soon, there isnt time to send it to the committee to work on the details. Chair Freistroffer called for a motion to approve the plan. Cindy Hyslop motioned to approve the plan, Carrie Bruno seconded the motion. Chair Freistroffer informed the Senate that there should be ex officio members on this committee, working with Comp & Benefits, and it should be VP of Business Affairs and the Director of Institutional Research. President Curtis feels that VPAA McFarlane should be on this committee because of his experience. Chair Freistoffer amended the plan to include the VPAA. There were four abstentions. Motion passes. Chair Freistroffer reminded everyone to review the email that President Curtis sent out, this week, regarding the budget and the Budget Task Force committee. Sonja discussed what types of money the college has for salaries and how salaries are paid. At this time administration doesnt feel there is enough money for buyouts. There will not be a confidentiality agreement for the committee, this time. The committee work should be done before summer/May. This is a recommendatory committee. A roll call vote was taken to select the four at-large committee members. The four at-large members will be Steve Theriault, Diane Wrightman, Pat Anderson and Sarah Negrete. President Curtis has chosen Lisa Frazier and Carrie Bruno to represent the college on the e-Learning Statewide Task Force. committee reports Academic Standards Written Report/Action Item Jan King brought forward the action items for Academic Standards. Jan reviewed the first action item to approve a request for 15 units of non-traditional credit for a student. Jane moved to approve the action item. Russ Orr seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion passes. The second action item involves dropping a class during the 9th week/60% of the course. Any student that does not drop should receive an F, not a W. The policy wording is changing to state that the student will automatically be assigned a grade of F. Jan moved to approve, Steve Theriault seconded. All were in favor, motion passes. The third item is to approve a request to change the grading basis for Tech Prep courses from a P grade to an A/B grade. If the student does not receive an A or B, they wouldnt receive credit for the course. A motion was made and seconded. All were in favor, motion passes.
