Faculty Senate Executive Committee Meeting Agenda

Date: Tuesday, March 12th, 2024, 2:00 PM -- 3:00 PM.

Location: DL 226 or Online

(Zoom) link: http://tiny.cc/faculty-senate-meeting

 

  1. Call to order.
  2. Chair report.   
    1. Our Universities of Wisconsin President speaks to faculty and staff from 3-4 PM (Tuesday, March 12, 2024, in the Kinni Theater).
    2. Paige Miller (chair, UTC) and Joe Kmiech (CIO) will talk to the Senate about 1) a draft of the DoTS strategic plan and 2) upcoming changes to classroom teaching technology.
    3. Annaka updated 13 of our 18 committee pages (agendas and minutes). I’m working with her on the remaining ones.
    4. The “Leave of Absence Draft” will be discussed at a future meeting. Logan will provide details. The edits to Part 9 of Section 3.2.6.2 Organizational Structure of the Faculty Senate of the F&S Handbook will be placed on our agenda when this other document comes our way.
    5. I asked our parliamentarian, Mialisa Moline, about the differences between the Termination Committee and Grievances Committees. In summary:
      1.  The first is mandated by the System, its members get elected, and can only be changed with the System’s approval. It discusses decisions of lay-off, dismissal, or termination of faculty (I still need clarification if tenured).
      2. The second doesn’t have elected members. It deals with a different type of business. From its charges:
        1. allegations made by a faculty member(s) charging deprivation or invasion of academic freedom and/or a denial of equitable treatment in matters covered by the policies adopted by the faculty and administration relating to:
        2. appointments, promotions, tenure, and salary
        3. teaching loads and duties, i.e., working conditions, generally
        4. retention/non-retention of probationary faculty
        5. claims of violation of those standards and their application given in Wisconsin Statutes, Administrative Code, Personnel Guidelines, and other Board of Regents Rules and Regulations.

             

  1. Officer reports.
  2. Committee chair reports.
  • Mark Gillen, chair of the Recruitment and Retention Committee will join us.
