Faculty Senate Journal

April 5, 2000

The chair, professor Jean Porter, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in room 202 of McKenna Hall and asked professor Richard Sheehan to offer the opening prayer. Several minor changes were made in the journal as distributed. Then professor Laura Bayard, seconded by professor Philip Quinn, moved approval and the Senate agreed.

Porter in her chair's report noted four items:

1. The nominating committee will present a slate of officers for the 2000-01 Senate at the May meeting. She urged all continuing Senators to consider this service. The goal is to have at least two candidates for each office.

2. The final Senate Forum on Academic Life will take place on Monday, April10 in McKenna Hall at 3:00 p.m. The topic will be "Diversity and Community." Panelists include Vice President and Associate Provost Carol Ann Mooney, Professor Jimmy Gurule, and Ms. Adela Penagos. She urged all to attend and to promote attendance among colleagues.

3. She noted that resolutions from at least two Senate committees will be offered after the committee meetings' reports. At least one of those proposals will refer to the Faculty Board on Athletics (FBA). The president of Notre Dame, Fr. Monk Malloy, CSC, has declined a Senate committee invitation to discuss his vision and ideas for this board. Correspondence with Fr. Malloy is attached to her report.

4. Porter said that the Senate staff secretary had taken a leave from the University and asked all faculty to bear with some possible delays in answering calls or responding to requests.

Her report, with accompanying documentation is printed as Appendix A of this journal.

419

Professor William Eagan questioned whether election protocols were being properly followed, especially in the matter of election lists and the plurality/majority issue. Porter said proper procedures would be observed, but at times lists provided by University officers have not been accurate, necessitating second mailings or announcements. Professor Klaus-Dieter Asmus reminded the chair that this was especially true with regard to the Senate's survey on the performance of the Provost. Porter said she knew and the Senate had taken steps to correct that situation. She hoped everyone would understand.

The Senate then recessed for committee meetings. At 8:05, Porter reconvened the Senate and asked for committee reports.

Academic Affairs - Professor Thomas Cosimano reported the Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research James Merz was to have been a guest of the committee for a conversation about his areas of responsibility, but he had been called to Washington totestify before a U.S. Senate committee. He will reschedule with the Faculty Senate. The committee discussed the Student Affairs resolutions which had been circulated and would presumably be presented later in the meeting. The con-sensus was that the ones dealing with class schedules and final exams were not needed. And the last (dealing with GPAs) was under discussion still in their committee; they would like more time before any Senate action was taken.

Administration - professor Ikaros Bigi said a resolution in regard to the FBA would be presented later.

Benefits - Asmus said the committee had received a, for the moment still incomplete response from the Department of Human Resources (HR) in regard to the Retiree 2000 program; they were still waiting for a clarification of language in the event the program was terminated. Human Resources was still investigating companies for a third investment option, and Asmus as Senate Benefits Committee chair will participate in the final selection in

420

June. Also he or his successor will participate in a review of the benefits program Human Resources will conduct soon.

Student Affairs - Professor Ed Manier reported for the chair, professor Ava Preacher, who was unable to make the meeting. The committee amended and revised the resolutions to be presented later and eliminated one on the scheduling of final exams. Professor Stuart Greene reported that the Academic Council had sent a proposed revision of the Honor Code back to its committee for further work; several Council members had raised philosophical objections. Many people who had worked with him for two years felt frustrated by this action. Manier said the last issue they dealt with was the recent Observer report of a rape in a campus residence hall. Several questions were raised by this incident: what were the procedures Notre Dame departments follow in such cases; do these policies respect the rights of the victim; is there information that can be used to punish an offender without violating or further harming the victim? They will ask Assistant Vice President for Residence Life William Kirk for responses.

Next the Senate considered a resolution from the Committee on Student Affairs (no second needed) in regard to grade inflation issues. Professor Joseph Powers presented the resolution which called upon the University to include on all transcripts a "numerical value of the mean grade assigned to students" in a particular course; in addition the University should restrict awarding graduation honors to only the top 25% of students in a particular college, and the Academic Council was requested to consider these items and take appropriate action. Powers reminded the Senate that grades were going up, that there was a disparity among the Colleges, that 39% of Notre Dame bachelors degree graduates received honors in 1998-99, and that this resolution was a request to study the problem and be fair to students. Bigi asked if the standard numeral equivalents of a letter grade would apply and Powers said yes. Captain Stephen Popelka wondered if other universities

DOCUMENTAl 0 N

faced a similar issue and Powers responded several had, including Stanford, and were studying the issue as this resolution requested. Professor Mario Borelli asked Powers if all the parts of the resolution were one package, one vote. Powers replied they were. Borelli then moved as an amendment to consider each "Be it resolved" clause in turn with separate debates and votes. Professor Jill Godmilow seconded and the Senate considered the amendment. Borelli said he saw merit in some but not all actions in the resolution. The Senate, by vote of 16 in favor and 10 against, agreed to the Borelli amendment, and proceeded to consider the first clause, requiring that a numerical value be assigned to each course.

Professor Michael DePaul wished to consider other factors before openly discounting a course with a high numerical average, on that basis alone. How many students? Are they graduate or undergraduate? Is it an upper level or graduate course? He felt the motion was too crude an instrument to solve the problem. Professor Catherine Perry, while in agreement with some of DePaul's concerns, nevertheless felt the motion was appropriate but saw some inconsistency between the whereas clauses and the resolutions themselves. She moved to strike graduate and professional level courses from the numerical equivalent requirement, and Borelli seconded. Debate continued on the amendment.

Bigi argued to keep the requirement in for graduate and professional courses saying it was relevant information. He would add the number of students enrolled in each class to the transcript. DePaul repeated that his concern was for upper level undergraduate classes as well, and Bigi's idea addressed part of that concern. Powers did not favor dropping graduate and professional courses: "truth in advertising" should prevail, there was disparity in graduate courses as well, and people (especially potential employers) know graduate courses are smaller than undergraduate. Cosimano" said figures his committee had gathered indicated the GP A's were rising in graduate courses too. The Senate by vote of 7 in favor and 16

against, did not agree to the amendment.

Eagan remembered when a "C" was average; now it appeared that a "B" was below average. One factor that had not been mentioned was the faculty's role in grade inflation; they tried to help students keep Army deferments years ago by boosting their grades. Professor David Kirkner felt that grade inflation was a reflection of a faculty problem that we can not take care of ourselves, so we notifY others of our own lack. This proposal would hurt students and didn't address the issue. Maybe the Administration would take action, once the problem was presented. Godmilow said in her department classes were small, students were selfselected, and thus grades often were high; we should not diminish their value. Bigi again pointed to the size of a course as an important factor, and moved to add "and the size of the course" to the resolution. Borelli seconded the motion and Powers on behalf of the committee accepted the amendment as friendly.

Professor Paul Conway brought up the subject of multiple sections within one titled course. What would be the number of students listed, by full course or individual section? DePaul thought it would be the number that goes with the average or mean. Cosimano returned to some issues his committee had discussed in relation to these motions and suggested some inconsistencies in the numbers they had and the Student Affairs Committee reported. Powers referred to the Institutional Research Report for 1997 as their source, but Cosimano still believed the data were at least uncertain. It was Manier's sense that the two committees should work out their views together. Quinn moved, and Godmilow seconded, to refer all these Student Affairs resolutions back to committee with the instruction that both committees work together and report back to the Senate at the May meeting. By vote of 29 in favor and 1 opposed, the Senate remanded these resolutions back to committee. A parliamentary inquiry by Eagan was ruled out of order by the chair.

The Senate next considered "Draft Resolution 112, April 5, 2000" from the Student Affairs Committee (no second needed) regarding class scheduling, as amended by the committee. The resolution called upon various units of the University to look into the problem of class scheduling to see if Notre Dame could make more efficient use of its space; this study should include a cost benefit analysis among all parties and units involved. Popelka further noted that the resolution simply urged that the Academic Council study this issue to see if and where there are problems; anecdotally, he knew seniors and juniors who had difficulties balancing courses. It would be better to see if we might be able to spread courses out and not schedule so many at peak hours.

Cosimano reported that his committee had begun to look at this as well and had some concerns. He agreed with Popelka's anecdotal evidence. However, did the resolution give the impression that 50 minute - MWF classes were preferred over 75-minute MW or WF ones? Who is actually being asked to study the issue? Borelli liked the idea of calling upon the Academic Council to initiate the study. Kirkner agreed that the Academic Council, along with the Registrar's Office, should look at this. DePaul remarked that one of the last areas where the faculty and departments have some discretion left was now, under this proposal, about to be removed from them and given to the Administration. Bigi countered that the resolution did not demand more regulation, but rather a study of the issue. Godmilow, though, wondered if this was the right time for the Senate to throw this issue to the Academic Council. Powers responded to this by saying it was a faculty interest when parts of the schedule were so eaten up that students and faculty were hurt. There was an interest for the faculty in a better utilization of resources. Sheehan partially agreed with Powers, and said it was right to ask the Council to study the issue. He thought there was not a deliberate move to logjam the schedule; students want classes at particular times. Now would be a good time to pause and study what has happened.

Popelka thought the aim was for a more integrated scheduling system with proper data; this would not mark the end of the decentralized system we have now. Manier, in response to Asmus, said nothing in the resolution would change the methods he described. Asmus thanked him for his clarification. Manier went on to say that the student representative in their committee Andrea Selak had reported that seniors and juniors found course schedules crunched and inconvenient. There was no obvious solution to this, so he believed a full-scale study was warranted. To him this was not a "topdown" situation. The resolution asked faculty and departments to be involved as well through the College Councils.

Bayard thought one of the "whereas" clauses should note the student problem under discussion and proposed wording as a friendly amendment. The chair ruled it substantive. Bayard's motion was then seconded by Godmilow. Borelli spoke against it. Professor Felicitas Munzel noted inconsistencies in the "whereas" clauses. Powers supported the motion. The Senate voted 20 in favor and none opposed to accept the amendment.

There being no further debate, the Senate voted on the amended resolution: 23 in favor and 3 opposed. It passed and it's printed as Appendix B of this journal.

The Senate moved to consider a resolution from the Administration Committee (no second needed). Quinn read the resolution:

Be it resolved that the President submit to the Faculty Senate any proposals he makes for changes in the language of the Academic Articles concerning the Faculty Board on Athletics no later than he submits it to the Academic Council; and be it further resolved that any proposal the Academic Council considers for change in the language of the Academic Articles concerning the Faculty Board on Athletics be submitted to the Faculty Senate for discussion and response before a vote on it by the Acadrmic Council is taken.

421

In his comments, Bigi explained to the Senate that this resolution was unlike the mandate given to the committee at the March meeting. In the interval, Bayard had received a response from the President (see Appendix A of this journal) indicating some of his views in regard to the FBA. The committee felt the original resolution was now too narrow to be effective, especially in view of the President's statement that he had further recommendations to come. This current resolution only sought to keep the Senate informed and involved. Quinn reiterated that the faculty did not yet know what the President's ideas were and could not adequately respond at this time. The resolution was to ask for a chance to respond. Quinn further reported that one member ofthe committee had served on the FBA and said that Fr. Bill Beauchamp, CSC, serving as both chair and NCAA representative, spent up to 40% of his time on athletic affairs. To ask a full time faculty member to do this was not a good idea. The fallback position was to hear what President Malloy had in mind and respond. This was our best chance for effective input.

Eagan asked which members of the FBA would be voting for chair, appointed and elected, or only elected. Quinn said that information was not spelled out in the letter. The President really only said he was considering combining the chair with the University's representative to the NCAA, and having a faculty member serve "like other academic administrators" in this position. Quinn thought this was a major undertaking.

Discussion having ended, the Senate voted 27 in favor 0 Opposed to agree to the resolution.

There was no new business.

Manier seconded by Asmus, moved adjournment and the Senate agreed at 9:15p.m.

Appendix A

Chair's Report, Mtg of 4/5/00

My chair's report this evening includes four items.

First, I am happy to report that a Nominating committee, charged with bringing forward a slate of candidates for the committee chairs and officers of the Faculty Senate, has now been constituted. It consists of Professors Tom Cosimano, who has agreed to serve as chair of the committee, Laura Bayard, Ava Preacher, Felicitas Munzel, and Harald Esch. I am sure that you will join me in thanking them for this important service to the Senate. According to our Bylaws, the Nominating Committee can include up to seven people, so if anyone else is leaving the Senate and would like to serve on this committee, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Over the course of the next month, many of you will be contacted by someone from this committee with the request that you run for election as a committee chair or officer of the Senate. I would like to ask you to consider this request very seriously. As you are aware, the chairs and officers perform essential services to the Senate, and through the Senate to the Notre Dame community. Although this may not be so obvious, anyone who agrees to run for one of these positions also performs a service by that very fact. In order for the Senate to maintain its health as a deliberative body, we need not only effective leadership, but the fullest possible engagement by the Senate as a whole in choosing that

DOCUMENTAT 0 N

leadership; this, in turn, calls for genuine alternatives when elections are held. Our goal is to have at least two candidates for each position in the Senate, including those in which an incumbent will be standing for re-election.

Secondly, the third and final Faculty Senate Forum on Academic Life for this academic year will be held next Monday, AprillO from 3-5 in the auditorium of the CCE, McKenna Hall on the topic of "Diversity and Community." The presenters will include Associate Provost Carol Mooney, Ms.

Adela Penagos, the Coordinator of Multicultural Student Affairs, and Professor Jimmy Gurule of the Law School. I hope that as many of you as possible will be able to attend this event.

Thirdly, as you know the Committee on Student Affairs will be presenting three resolutions on class scheduling, grading and examination policies for your consideration this evening. It is my understanding that these resolutions may be further modified in committee, and if so, the modifications will be communicated at the appropriate time. I have also been informed that the Committee on Administration may be offering a revised version of the resolution concerning the Chair of the Faculty Board on Athletics which was offered at the March meeting and referred to the Committee at that time. If so, this resolution will be considered immediately after the three resolutions concerning student life.

I would like to inform you of a communication from President Malloy that will be relevant to your consideration of the resolution concerning the Chair of the Faculty Board on Athletics, should it come before the Senate tonight. In a letter dated March 1st, Professor Laura Bayard, writing as Acting Chair of the Committee on Administration, invited President Malloy to meet with the Committee to discuss his plans for restructuring the Faculty Board on Athletics. In a letter dated March lOth, President Malloy declined the invitation, and added that he intended to propose that the Chair of the Faculty Board on Athletics be

appointed by himself from among the regular faculty of the University, with the proviso that the Chair would also serve as the faculty representative to the NCAA. He added, "Because the two responsibilities will be combined, it will be a very time consuming position and very much like other major academic administrative appointments made by the president." Both letters will be attached to this report, and if any of you would like to examine them during the recess, please feel free to do so.

Finally, three weeks ago the secretary in the Faculty Senate Office, Ms. Barbie Rekos, had to take an unexpected leave of absence from her position. We will be working with temporary agencies to maintain the office until this situation can be resolved, but there may be some periods when no secretary will be available in our office. I would suggest that if you need to reach the office for any reason, that you contact me directly at the number or email address listed on your roster. Thank you for your patience.

That concludes my Chair's report. Are there any questions?

Letter to Fr. Malloy:

Re: Faculty Board of Athletics conversation

Dear Monk,

On behalf of the Faculty Senate's Administration Committee and our Chair, Prof. Ikaros Bigi who is out-ofcountry, I am writing to invite you to an informal conversation with us about your vision for the Faculty Board of Athletics. The Faculty Senate in our February meeting considered a resolution amending the Academic Articles so as to provide that the Chair of the Faculty Board on Athletics would be elected from among the

elected faculty respresentatives on the board. Our resolution was motivated by the recent announcement that the next Athletic Director will report directly to you. In our discussion, we determined that we were prematurely addressing this issue without first learning more about your own plans. The matter was referred to the Committee on Administration; hence, this letter of invitation. We perceive the conversation to be mutually beneficial and hope that you will be able to meet with us at your convenience during the week of 3/20/ 00 or 3/27/00. Thank you, Monk.

Thank you for your recent letter you wrote with regard to the composition of the Faculty Board on Athletics and, in particular, the Chair.

About three weeks ago I had the chance to meet with the members of the Faculty Board to discuss various recommendations that had emerged from the Trustee committee that provided an external review of all of our athletic operations. I indicated at that time that the recommendation of the Trustee committee, and my intention, is that the Chair of the Faculty Board on Athletics be, at the same time, the faculty representative of the NCAA. This person would be drawn from the regular faculty of the University and would be appointed by the president. Because the two responsibilities will be combined, it will be a very time-consuming position and very much like other major academic administrative appointments made by the president.

At the appropriate time, I will come forward with an appropriate recommendation to the Academic

Council which will be subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Trustee committee made other recommendations about the role of the Faculty Board, but those would be premature to discuss until we have completed the selection of our new athletic director and other matters related to athletics. I intend to discuss these matters further with the Faculty Board itselfbefore submitting any written material to the Academic Council. While I appreciate your invitation, I think it would be premature at this time to say anything further.

All best wishes.

Cordially, (Rev.) Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C. President

Appendix B

Draft Resolution 112 Student Affairs Committee, Faculty Senate

Whereas, the allocation of intraday and intraweek scheduling times for undergraduate classes is, at present, subject to minimal regulation, and

Whereas, the resulting inefficient use of classroom space causes artificial shortages of classrooms at peak times, and

Whereas, junior and senior students have difficulty in finding available classes, and

Whereas, the costs of increasing numbers of class rooms to remedy these "shortages" divert university funds from real needs (increased faculty, tuition reduction), and

Whereas, data indicate that the most serious under utilization of classrooms begins at noon each day of the week, and

Whereas, data also indicate that fewer that 85% of classrooms used on Mondays and Wednesdays are also used1on Fridays, and

Whereas, students absenteeism at Friday classes is on the rise;

423

Therefore, be it resolved that these issues be called to the attention of the faculty, students, departments, Academic Council and the relevant College Councils (not including the School of Law), and ·

Be it further resolved that the Academic Council direct the University Registrar to prepare a report identifYing the causes and the expenses associated with the under utilization and inefficient use of available class rooms, and provide the Registrar with appropriate financial and human resources to accomplish this task expeditiously, and

Be it further resolved that, the Academic and College Councils, in consultation with the University Registrar, assess the real cost to the University of the inefficient utilization of classroom space, and compare it with the real and putative advantages of the current "free market" in class room space and time.
