Niederriter. Senate President William Bowen called the meeting to order. Approval of the Agenda for the April 3, 2019 Meeting Senate President William Bowen noted that there are two changes he would like to propose before approval. The first change is item VI. A. 2. University Curriculum Committee Master of Science in Information Systems. Both the University Curriculum Committee and the Academic Steering Committee approved changing that to Master of Information Systems. The second change is to add item IX. Report of the Senate Budget and Finance Committee. He noted that this item was left out because Dr. Tatyana Guzman, the chair of that committee, is down in Columbus with a group of students. Dr. Bowen asked for a motion to approve the Agenda with the two changes. It was moved, seconded and the proposed revised Agenda was approved unanimously. Approval of the Meeting Minutes Summary of February 6, 2019 Dr. Bowen reported that the February 6, 2019 Meeting Minutes Summary are not yet ready for approval. Approval of the Meeting Minutes Summary of March 6, 2019 Dr. Bowen reported that the March 6, 2019 Meeting Minutes Summary are also not yet ready for approval. Report of the Faculty Senate President Dr. William Bowen announced the names of faculty that were recently promoted. Promoted to Full Professor: Dr. Vickie Coleman Gallagher (Management), College of Business Rolf Lustig (Chemical and Biomedical Engineering), College of Engineering Billy (Vasilios) Kosteas (Economics), College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Petru Fodor (Physics), College of Sciences & Health Professions Anthony Berdis (Chemistry). College of Sciences & Health Professions Promotion to Associate Professor with Tenure: Cigdem Ataseven (Operations & Supply Chain Management, College of Business Adam Voight (Curriculum & Foundations), College of Education Phuong Ngo (Economics), College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Heather Russell (Music), College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Julie Burrell (English), College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Danial Munther (Mathematics), College of Sciences & Health Professions Megan Hatch (Urban Studies), College of Urban Affairs Joanna Ganning (Urban Studies), College of Urban Affairs Tatyana Guzman (Urban Studies), College of Urban Affairs Tenure: Michael Adams (Engineering Technology), College of Engineering Clinical Associate Professor with Tenure: James Kilbane (Teacher Education), College of Education Dr. Bowen moved to the Strategic Priorities Implementation. President Harlan Sands rolled out his strategic priorities document earlier this week. The document started with a campus-wide 2020 process that was ongoing for some time when he became President. He took the Ad Hoc priorities from faculty, staff and students along with several months of conversation and wrote it all up. He then sent it out for comment to the Deans and Faculty Senate by way of the Academic Steering Committee. He made some changes and eventually the current document emerged. Dr. Bowen stated that he has read the document carefully and repeatedly and he hopes everyone has read the document as well. He has talked with a number of people who have. He added that if anyone has not read the document, he recommends that they do so. The document is intended on President Sands part to move the university to the next level. Some parts of the University are going to have to change and some parts are not going to change. Some things can be changed; some things must be changed; and other things must not be changed and cannot be changed. While he personally intellectually agrees with almost everything in that document, it is going to take more than intellectual agreement for the intention of the document to take effect and make a difference. Dr. Bowen noted that none of this seems to him including the President and the Provost or anybody else on campus to fully comprehend what everybody else in the University sees and does and experiences and knows. So for the document to fulfill its intention, it will require faculty members to accept the responsibility to speak our views, to share what we know, and to do so within the context with some forums in which our voices and perspectives are going to be heard by those that have power and influence and basically, to participate in shared governance. Dr. Bowen stated, To the end of implementing that document, there has been a strategic priorities steering committee set up. He noted that he was asked to serve on it in his capacity as the President of the Faculty Senate. The Committee will have the guidance of Dr. Richard Freeland, former President of Northeastern University and former Chancellor of the State of Massachusetts. Dr. Bowen stated that judged by everybodys responses, Dr. Freeland is a dedicated, smart wise man regarding this sort of thing. Dr. Bowen reported that the membership of the Steering Committee can be found on the presidents web page under strategic hub. He added that there is a link there that talks about the membership of the committee. The committee was divided into sub-committees. One of the sub-committees is the subcommittee on the ideas related to the anchor mission of the University and is chaired by Dean Roland Anglin from Urban Affairs. Another of the sub-committees is related to finance, facilities and organization. It is chaired by Janell Hughes. The other sub-committee, from Dr. Bowens point of view, was the perfect reason not to go out of town. He was in Korea and when he came back, he found out that he had been asked to chair the sub-committee on everything related to curriculum and student life. He noted that they have started to parse out some of the goals and are trying to turn the statements of strategic priorities into goals and action steps. Dr. Bowen stated that there will be a series of town hall meetings that are listed on the Presidents web page one on April 11th, one on April 17th, one on April 18th where people can listen a little bit and find out what is going on and where people can express their views. There is a link on the Presidents web page where people can comment. Dr. Bowen added that his pledge to everyone will be to do everything he can possibly do to make sure that the campus community has as much input as is possible. Dr. Bowen announced that Chancellor Randy Gardner and Senior Vice Chancellor, Mike Duffey, will be visiting campus on April 24th. Dr. Bowen noted that when he was down at the Ohio Faculty Council in Columbus, they mentioned that they would like to visit different campuses and interact with faculties so he thought why not ours so he invited them to come to Cleveland State and they accepted. There will be a special meeting of the Senate Academic Steering Committee on Wednesday, April 24th. It will basically be a question and answer time. He stated that if anyone has questions that they would like posed to the Chancellor and Vice Chancellor, please give those questions to your Steering representative and perhaps those questions will be answered. Finally, Dr. Bowen reported that at the Board of Trustees meeting, he heard Graduation Coaching Director Nickolas Petty and some of the success coaches and students talking. Dr. Bowen stated that we have been talking quite a bit about Starfish and in fact, he had the Starfish Resolution put into everyones meeting packets. He is also going to send the Starfish Resolution out to all faculty in a while. While at the Board meeting, he heard a lot of people talking about Starfish. Actually it came about spontaneously just in the interaction between Director Petty and the success coaches and a couple of the students. The students were talking about the effect Starfish had on them. Dr. Bowen noted that he has asked Director Petty to come to a Senate meeting with a couple of the success coaches and the students and talk to everyone. Director Petty stated that he came from a K-12 environment. He was a high school principal for the last 13 to 15 years so he knows how important education is and he knows enough to know that faculty and staff are the first line of defense when it comes to the success of students. He added that we can preach all we want about what is good for students but faculty do the work and that is a major part of what we do. He stated that the Starfish system is basically how his division operates and it helps them tremendously. When they see flags, it helps them get to the students fast and into the resources we have on campus. He noted that when Dr. Bowen asked him to talk at Senate, he wrote down things. He stated that because of a flag, they found out that a student was in a car accident and in the hospital and had no clue where he was. The flag made them reach out to the student. Another student was in the hospital at the beginning of the second semester and wasnt able to start on time so they got him to the OIE Office. With another student, domestic abuse at home from a parent. Another student was homeless. Students didnt have food. Another student had a mental breakdown and he was brought to counseling. Anothers mom was in hospice dying with cancer. Because of a flag, we were able to find the student and help her through it. Another student was missing class because he could not afford parking so the student was provided a parking pass and is now doing well in class. Mr. Petty noted that because of the Starfish system, they are able to reach out to the students and get them to resources. Director Petty turned to the success coaches and students that each gave helpful examples of how they have used the Starfish system and who they have helped. One of the coaches reported that the biggest thing for her with Starfish was the academic concerns especially within the first couple of weeks of class. Each of the coaches gave helpful examples of how they have used the system and who they helped. Several students also explained how the Starfish system has helped them. One of the coaches stated that the approach is always to be helpful and not accusatory Announcement of Coming Elections (See Attached) Senate President Bowen referred Senate to the attachment to todays Agenda and announced the coming elections that will take place at the May 1, 2019 Faculty Senate meeting. He noted that all faculty should have received a survey for Committee Preference. He encouraged everyone to participate and express interest in serving on the various committees.

University Faculty Affairs Committee Greenbook Revision Calendar Election of Senate Executive Committee (Report No. 78, 2018-2019) Dr. Stephen Gingerich, chair, University Faculty Affairs Committee, noted that there is a type-o that he wanted to correct. In part (H) paragraph two at the end of the fourth line Ongoing should be Outgoing. The sentence should read, Outgoing senate officers will work with officers-elect Dr. Gingerich stated that at the first meeting of the semester the Senate tabled a proposal to change the calendar for the election of officers and sent back to UFAC for revision to add procedures. The idea of this proposal is to change the calendar for the election of the officers in order to elect them earlier, before the summer. That would allow adequate time to negotiate their workloads and course release and do that in the spring rather than waiting until the fall when the elections are over. An additional benefit is that there are matters over the summer that the officers do representing ϰϲʿ¼. It would be good if we have officers at the beginning of their term doing those things with other universities around the state rather than at the end of their term. UFAC began with one section of the Greenbook that gives the schedule for the election of members of the Faculty Senate. That is moved up from April to March 1st. The Faculty Affairs Committees in the various colleges could be required to change their Greenbook and their nominating committees are going to need to know that Faculty Senate members need to be elected by March 1st. The calendar for the elections of the officers can be moved into the spring semester. He noted that a nominating committee will be formed in the Steering Committee and will come up with candidates. Dr. Gingerich said that the last two paragraphs will allow for elections to take place in the spring. The rest of the rules are really copied from the way the elections now happen in the fall. Dr. Gingerich stated that a change in the Greenbook requires a first reading and a second reading and the vote can take place after the second reading. This would allow, if we were able to finish this this year, then next year at this time we would be having elections actually to replace the Senate President and the Senate Secretary. The way things stand now, we will have an election in September for the Vice President position. There were no questions. SEI Policy Proposed Revisions 2019 (Report No. 79, 2018-2019) Professor Gingerich reported that the second item of business from UFAC is the policies for student evaluation of instruction. He reported that last year the Senate discussed some of the additions that were introduced in the interest of addressing concerns about response rates. The UFAC sent out a reminder that this policy exists and it is also available on line. When he resumed as chair of UFAC this semester, he talked with Mr. Tom Geaghan, Director of Institutional Research. He noted that we had a day that classes were canceled because of the cold. He noted that apparently there were some classes that were radically altered because of that. Some classes meet only a couple of times. He pointed out that if you look at point 1. Administration of SEI, it talks about a window during which the evaluation forms are made available to students and in that window the window opens and closes. When classes dont meet very often and one of those classes is canceled, that radically alters the window. Together he and Mr. Geaghan worked to find a solution for times when the window is no longer a reasonable one say it closes before the class has met and that is what happened in the case of the cold days. Dr. Gingerich reported that between the two of them, they came up with a proposal which is number 5. Administration of the SEI to deal with those kinds of situations. Dr. Gingerich drew attention to the last paragraph that talks about erasing an evaluation. In the event that a student has completed the SEIQ outside of the revised evaluation window, that evaluation will be erased and the student will have to complete a new SEIQ. Students will be advised if their previous SEIQ has been erased. He asked that it be struck. Dr. Gingerich stated that this is a detail that they are trying to solve in policy and they decided that this situation would be better handled as an irregularity by the chair or director of Institutional Research. Dr. Gingerich said that the rest of this document basically is a first reading. This will give procedures of what a student or an instructor might do if their instructional calendar is altered. This will allow faculty to alter the calendar with Institutional Research. Dr. Gingerich stated that the next change is under Reporting of SEI Data to Chairs and Deans. He noted that this section of the policy has been revised to distinguish the reporting to the faculty who the reports are about and the reporting to the Chairs and the Deans. The original policy clearly intended for the full report to go to the faculty member and to the supervisor of the faculty member for the course which they are teaching. This came up because there are some colleges that dont have departmental structures, therefore, they dont have Chairs and the Deans Office basically acts in the capacity of Chairs for those instructors. There are some cases in which classes are overseen by the college. This is clarifying who gets what information. Dr. Gingerich noted that he has talked to some of the Associate Deans about concerns they have about getting the data in a usable form. Without expanding the extent of the data, the committee has clarified that the Deans Offices should have access to that data in as useful a form as possible. Professor Gingerich noted that the third change is on the first page. This is about concerns of response rate. He said that these points were added last time and it is good to remind the Senate that they exist and senators can remind their colleagues that they exist and some of these things we should remind students that they do have access to our evaluation data and it is not useful to them unless they participate in it. That was something that UFAC suggested that instructors remind their students. One of the concerns of Institutional Research we forget is that evaluations benefit us but they also should benefit the students. So he added in the document that faculty should remind the students that their feedback helps faculty improve their instruction. Dr. Gingerich asked if there were any questions. An unidentified faculty member commented that Urban does have a department structure minor clarification. Friendly amendment. No need to list them explicitly for any departments since it could change. There being no further comments or questions, the motion was unanimously approved by voice vote. Budget and Finance Committee (Report No. 80, 2018-2019) Dr. Allyson Robichaud, a member of the Budget and Finance Committee, stood in for Committee Chair, Professor Tatyana Guzman, who was in Columbus and unable to be at Senate today. Dr. Robichaud stated that she has a written report for Senate from the Budget and Finance Committee. She reported that the Presidents Budget Advisory Committee has met five times so far this semester, weekly actually, for the last three weeks. They have been deep into it and in fact their Monday meeting was about three and one half hours. The PBAC will be coming up with a list of recommendations for President Sands consideration and then they will be presenting those recommendations to him for the 2020-21 budget so that he can act on their recommendations. PBAC has been looking at all areas of the budget to see where they might be able to make some changes that will either enhance revenue or realize cost savings. The goal of this committee is to ensure the recommendations for enhancing revenues and realizing cost savings that are going to allow us to maintain good financial health into the future. Dr. Robichaud reported that as most everyone already knows, we are facing a $17 million deficit for the 2020 budget and it may be slightly higher as it happens depending on how enrollments wind up looking for AY 19-20. And as they found out at the last meeting, capturing enrollment data can only deliver a snapshot in time. So, the committee decided to wait until early next week to grab a final number on which to base their recommendations. Dr. Robichaud reported that there is roughly $8 million in carry-forward monies and that will help bring down that $17 million debt considerably. Part of the long-term plan is to end dependence on these funds to continue to balance our budgets. Those funds with respect to the committees recommendations with respect to enhancing revenue and realizing cost savings will get us very close to balancing the budget for 2020. Dr. Robichaud reported that some of the recommendations are being made with an eye to the long term. The goal is to maintain a balanced budget moving forward into 2021 and beyond to ensure that our resources are used strategically. She noted that as Dr. Bowen mentioned, we have the Statement of Strategic Priorities that everyone can read and those priorities are supposed to guide both the budget process and, further into the future other processes to try to realize efficiencies, strategic goals, etc. for the university. She went on to say that everyone will hear a lot more about that in the future. For example, we would want to invest in areas of significant growth like high demand programs as a means of enhancing revenue in the long run and thereby adding to and ensuring our stability. Professor Robichaud stated that there is no recommendation for a hiring freeze but rather a recommendation that all vacant positions be looked at carefully with respect to need and in concert with the strategic plan that is now in place. Finally, Dr. Robichaud stated that we wont be certain until June 30th when the state budget is finalized but it appears that there is likely to be an increase in the state share of instruction, the SSI, and perhaps the ability to raise tuition. She went on to say that of course this will be a welcome change for all of the state universities and would certainly effect our bottom line positively. Report of the Provost and Chief Academic Officer Provost Jianping Zhu reported that he had two additional items to what has been discussed so far today. Strategic rollout. Provost Zhu stated that we need to add more specific goals after the general description of the seven strategic priority areas. For example, strategic theme two is to differentiate at ϰϲʿ¼ student success meaning that we want to stand out to be an institution with much more success in student success. Provost Zhu asked, What do we mean by that and how do we measure that? He stated that we need to come up with a specific set of goals that are measurable and that will lead us to accomplish them. He went on to say that we are planning, at some point this month, to share a list of directional goals or intermediate goals and to seek everyones input so that we can finalize that into a final list of goals and then all the units will look at what we each can do to help the university accomplish that list of goals. That is the next step in terms of strategic rollout. Provost Zhu noted that everyone should stay tuned because there is much more to come after the Town Hall meetings. Starfish. Provost Zhu stated that he is very pleased with Senate President Bowen arranging for the Senate to hear directly from the Student Success coach teams, from the coaches themselves and from some of the students. Provost Zhu reiterated that he wants to help and support our faculty to use Starfish as a tool to further enhance our student success. He added that a number of things are being planned to help make that easy. Some faculty may argue, What if I raise the flag? Does anything happen after that? He reported that they are working with all different units to come up with response to protocol and to share that with faculty so that they know when they teach a class and you raise a flag, this is what will happen after that. In working on that protocol, every college is different and every college situation is different. For example, some colleges have a lot of first year and second year students taking entry level first year and second year level classes where at some other colleges, once the students get into their college, they are pretty much moving beyond the gateway classes and beginning to take their junior and senior level classes. The response and protocol would be different for those classes and for those colleges. Dr. Zhu stated that we are really focused on the first and second year classes because that is the period where many students need extra support and they need extra information from the advisors point of view. Although all faculty are encouraged to use Starfish, there are many different functions built into the system that can be used for different things. He added that another item they are working on is to build the support that is needed. Some faculty have not used Starfish before so if they need technical support, more workshops are being arranged. It is not easy to start using a new tool, but if faculty want to use Starfish, Dr. Peter Meiksins staff is willing to visit individual faculty offices. Throughout the last few years, the system has evolved and a group of faculty are sharing their experience and saying that Starfish is not that difficult to use. So he is willing to support both the group setting or workshops and sessions to help faculty or individually, a staff member will be willing to visit with faculty in individual offices to walk faculty through the process. They also have a group of faculty that will actually provide feedback once faculty begin to use Starfish. Finally, Dr. Zhu stated that we are all in this together and the administrative and support units are here to support faculty. Dr. Meiksins team is making runs to visit college faculty meetings and to communicate the same message with faculty. It is hoped that more people will use Starfish. Provost Zhu added, now that we have heard directly from the students, Starfish is a useful tool especially for our first and second year students. Report of the Student Government Association (Report No. 81, 2018-2019) Ms. Samia Shaheen, President of SGA, commented that it is hard for her that her term as SGA President is coming to an end because it feels like she has just started. She reported that SGA elections are under way. She asked faculty to please encourage their students to partake in student government elections and exercise their campus civic duty. Ms. Shaheen reported that SGA has been involved with many exciting projects. SGA recently participated in Day of Action, an event hosted by the Health and Wellness Center which brings awareness to sexual assault awareness month. She noted that they learned about the importance of consent in our daily interactions, that the influence of drugs and alcohol do have effects on consent, body language and much more. They also helped to educate students on the various resources provided on campus from both the Office of Institutional Equity and the ϰϲʿ¼ Police Department and many more other resources. The Michael Schwartz Library is in the process of renovating new group study rooms. SGA thanks the Michael Schwartz Library for putting that project on. A generous donor had donated the funds to get that project under way. She noted that this really does help to support student success because students are always asking for private study rooms. Ms. Shaheen reported that on the state level, the SGA Executive Board will be traveling to Ohio State University for the Ohio Student Government Association summit to discuss higher education policies such as textbook affordability, the new coming state budget in June and campus free speech. Ms. Shaheen reported that on Monday she will also be traveling to Columbus with our Governmental Relations Director Dr. William Napier and Ms. Laurie Day to Inter-University Council Day (IUC) where they will be meeting with several state representatives and senators to advocate on behalf of Cleveland State and our budgets and for more tax exemptions on textbooks, tuition costs and other critical higher education matters that will be included in this years state budget. She added that if anyone wants a message passed along to state representatives, just let her know. Report of the Graduate and Professional Student Association (Report No. 82, 2018-2019) Ms. Daisy Zhang, Vice President of GPSA, announced that this week is graduate student appreciation week. Graduate students are appreciated for their hard work, determination and accomplishments that make a significant contribution to Cleveland State classrooms, labs, departments, clinical experience and internships. GPSA and the Graduate College cooperate with all of the colleges and will host snack and coffee tables all around campus this week. She asked everyone to please let their graduate students know of appreciation week and stop by the tables to get some treats for their hard study. Ms. Zhang noted that perhaps some faculty at Senate today just graduated not so long ago so she brought some tee shirts here. If anyone would like a tee shirt, they can be picked up from the table outside the door. As she reported at the last Senate meeting, Ms. Zhang announced that GPSA officers will meet with the mayor of Cleveland tomorrow morning. She noted that he is a Cleveland State Alumni. He is very happy to listen to current ϰϲʿ¼ graduate students. Finally, Ms. Zhang reported that GPSA elections begin next week. She asked faculty to please encourage their graduate students to participate. New Business Faculty Senate Secretary Vickie Coleman Gallagher reported that thanks to Provost Zhu, funds were found to re-do a whole classroom right next to Violet Lunders Office in Berkman Hall, so we will have a small conference room as well as a large conference room dedicated just to the Faculty Senate. She noted that it is hoped that renovation of the rooms will be complete this semester. It will allow us to have some of our own meeting space and our Steering Committee and our standing committees will be able to meet there so we will always be in a central place. She added that it is hoped to have an open house with just coffee and cookies before the end of the semester. Open Question Time Senator Jeremy Genovese - Amazon University would have received 15 acres who was proposing and what was committed? Faculty were not involved? Provost Zhu responded that it was very conceptual and at a high level. Faculty would have been involved. The city put together the team and it was very confidential with a limited amount of time, tight deadline.
