Call to Order President Rusovici called the meeting to order at 3:32 p.m. and asked for a motion on approving the minutes of Decembers meeting; it was made and seconded, and the vote to accept was unanimous but for three abstentions. Presidents Report Dr. Rusovici stated that the search for the position of Provost is underway. Curricula vitae of applicants were accepted back in December. There are six candidates, with four to be asked to interview between the 26th and 29th of this month. Pres. Rusovici met with the Search Commit-tee to recommend the top four. Committee Reports Senator Tenali of the Academic Affairs Committee had to be ab-sent; there was no committee report. There was no report from the Administrative Policies Committee. The Faculty Senate Scholarship Committee reported that a scholar-ship will go to the College of Engineering Biomedicine. Whether there is money enough for a second scholarship for the College of Science needs to be found out; Dr. Rusovici has made inquiries. February 15th is the date of the decision. It was emphasized that winning students should attend the Honors Convocation in April to receive their awards. Dr. Baarmand, chair of the Faculty Excellence Awards Committee, reported that he is preparing the announcement of the nomination peri-od. There are six members of his committee, one from each college. The deadline for nominations will be in the first week of March; upon selection, names of the awardees will be given to the administration. There is a monetary prize of $5,000 to each winner of the three categories: teaching, research, and service. As Sen. Cudmore had to be out for this session, the Welfare Com-mittee report was given by Dr. Harvey. Human Resources will provide retirement advice. The matter of access to the Panther Aquatic Center is still an issue, as is a parental leave policy. The committee is still working on a policy for student complaints. The chair of the special committee on technology, the Technology, Resources and Infrastructure (TRI) committee, Sen. Arrasmith, gave his report. He has been working on a new layout for the Faculty Senates Web page, and will meet with the designer next week. It includes impor-tant links that can even take faculty to training videos. There is a place for faculty comments and input. New Business Pres. Rusovici reported that the Faculty Supplement is to be awarded in the months of January and September. The question of whether the supplement amount can be included in our annual salary arose. Sen. Baarmand mentioned that the NSF (National Science Foundation) and the DOE (Department of Energy) might object, as this would increase the grant budget because of higher summer salaries plus overhead. Sen. Marcinkowski suggested that Ms. Brenda Brown, the Controller, be contacted on this issue. Pres. Catanese received a recommendation from the Presidential Task Force on Alternative Rewards for Teaching, headed by Dr. Wastawy, to consider a teaching award for adjunct professors. Sen. Nnolim stated that those departments with a lot of adjunct instructors, such as his, should be included in the discussion of this issue. Discussion The matter of self-nomination for the Faculty Excellence Awards came up. Sen. Baarmand stated that self-nomination is a valid way of nomination, but that it is important that supporting documents from members of the nominees department, and the department head, be submitted. It was pointed out that this could be a problem if there is not a good relationship with them. Sen. Brenner stated that this Senate session is a call for nominees for Senate President and Secretary. Dr. T. Dwayne McCay, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and President-Elect of 鶹ýӳ, arrived to give a talk to the Senate. He said he is excited about the opportunity of leading a great school. One important area is better recognition for 鶹ýӳ. As for what he anticipates concerning his presidency, Dr. McCay said there will be a change in philosophy. Pres. Catanese concentrated on breadth for the university; Dr. McCay said he will be concerned with depth, which means a focus on the academic and research aspects of the university. There will be less emphasis on administration and athletics in order to facilitate academics and research. He said his green book includes focus on the next three months, the next six months and a five-year plan. There will be a reduction in administration. And there is no need to increase faculty; there shouldnt be more faculty than students in any particular field. We need to choose a half-dozen true sources of excel-lence and concentrate on them; a committee for this should be involved. We ought to seek out six things we can concentrate on, and ask: What do you need? What are the two or three things you need, not to be just good, but great? It is hard to get faculty chairs, he said; professorships are much easier. As it is now, we have great researchers, but we need more. And this means researchers with upgraded laboratories. We need to get funding for specific equipment. After the six areas we need to focus on, there should be more added. One issue he is concerned with is clarifying the name of our univer-sity; we seem to be somewhere between F.I.T. and 鶹ýӳ. We have over three hundred faculty, he said, some who are great. Sen. van Woesik added that in his years teaching in Japan he became especially aware of the necessity for great faculty. Our infrastructure needs work. Pres. Rusovici volunteered that we need people working well together. A trifecta would have emphasis on equipment, faculty and students. Dr. McCay stated that this incoming class is the best weve ever had. In the past the focus was on quantity over quality, and this is now being remedied. Sen. Baarmand pointed out that better infrastructure, e.g., machine and electronics shops manned with technicians, would help a lot with obtaining external grants because we can justify the overhead cost to the funding agency based on providing such facilities for conducting our research work. Dr. McCay said that, whatever losses through overhead there are, the reputation of the university is built on research. In re-sponse to Dr. Baarmands question about whether the half dozen focus areas would be allowed to have new faculty hires, Dr. McCay went on to say that right now there is a mal-distribution in place: for instance, overall we have eight students to each faculty member; this is not good. Redis-tribution needs to be done. Dr. Rusovici asked what the income from research is. Dr. McCay answered that is thirteen million a year. Dr. McCay said that our financial fate depends on students still being available from foreign countries such as Turkey and Saudi Arabia. To the question of the Faculty Equity program still being in effect, Dr. McCay said he didnt know if it could go forward this year. There is still the fifteen thousand in the budget for winners of the Faculty Excellence awards, however. Asked what he is looking for in the search for Provost, he said there are specific gates. Gate one is a matter of qualification and experience. Gate two is finding someone who will work hard and be devoted to the university. Gate three is someone who can work well with the administration. On this last point, he made it emphatically clear that above all he wants people to present matters to him as they truly are, without sugar-coating them. In answer to Sen. Baarmands question of why the Provost Search Committee is not seeking anyone outside the university, he answered that the best experienced people are here; he doesnt want to spend two years or so training a new provost. He closed his talk with the stirring observation that we are on the verge of greatness and we can move on up. After applause, Pres. Rusovici thanked Dr. McCay for his talk, and the session was adjourned at 5:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Bob Shearer, Secretary     PAGE  PAGE 2 !#),GI]dfx÷㙊Ê{o{cTh0=h=B*OJQJphh@]B*OJQJphh)B*OJQJphh0=h:,B*OJQJphh0=h;0B*OJQJphh0=hB*OJQJphh0=hkvmB*OJQJphhC\B*OJQJphh0=h`B*OJQJph h&h&B*H*OJQJphh&B*OJQJph h0=h`5B*OJQJph*+,v w x d e f y z $ a$gdig$ `a$gdAM $ a$gdC\$ `a$gdC\`gdhgd@%`gd&gd`$a$gd`( )    u v x ÷zlz^P?z hC\h;05B*OJQJphh<;5B*OJQJphh45B*OJQJphh&5B*OJQJph hC\h=5B*OJQJphh0=hC\B*OJQJphh@%h@%B*OJQJphh@%>*B*OJQJphh@%B*OJQJphh=B*OJQJphhC\B*OJQJphh@]B*OJQJphh&B*OJQJphhigB*OJQJph   H Q V W a b d e f x z R T [ ] ͼugUgUgGgGgGggh45B*OJQJph#highig5B*H*OJQJphhig5B*OJQJphhAM5B*OJQJphhC\5>*B*OJQJphhu5B*OJQJphhC\5B*OJQJphh&5B*OJQJph hC\hC\5B*OJQJph hC\h=5B*OJQJph hC\h_95B*OJQJph hC\h"5B*OJQJph  n q ~ ԸԪԘԊ|n]L h /h /5B*OJQJph h /h /5B*OJQJphh /5B*OJQJphh~5B*OJQJphh5B*OJQJph#hDhD5B*H*OJQJphh5B*OJQJphh]v5B*OJQJphh=.5B*OJQJphhD5B*OJQJphhig5B*OJQJphhig5>*B*OJQJph . n  $ a$gd~P$ `a$gdNs $ a$gdL$ `a$gd$ `a$gdD$ `a$gdig $ a$gdigpvy+,f*ᲢraN>N>Nh /5B*OJQJ^Jph$hNshNs5B*OJQJ^Jph!hL5>**ϴ{5B*ϴL5B*ϴ5B*ϴ5B*ϴ$<;h5B*OJQJ^Jphh5B*OJQJphh=.5B*OJQJphhD5B*OJQJph h /hD5B*OJQJph*->V[\JSmvyJĹҮңҖҋҋҀuujuuuju_uh 5OJQJ^Jh5OJQJ^Jh=R5OJQJ^Jh5OJQJ^Jh /5OJQJ^Jh~P5>*OJQJ^JhD5OJQJ^Jhba5OJQJ^JhD5OJQJ^Jh h 5OJQJ^Jh~P5OJQJ^J$hNshNs5B*OJQJ^Jphh /5B*OJQJ^Jph jk^^ C##6$%%&'I((($ `a$gdRC$ `a$gd$ `a$gd~PJP1 4 ^ } !!!!!"""""tbRh=.5B*OJQJ^Jph#hFB*CJOJQJ^JaJphhF5OJQJ^Jh}35B*OJQJ^Jph$hFhF5B*OJQJ^JphhF5B*OJQJ^Jphh5OJQJ^Jh{5OJQJ^Jh 5OJQJ^Jh5OJQJ^Jhba5OJQJ^Jh=R5OJQJ^Jh [5OJQJ^J""""" #&#'#B#C#v####$$$$$$%#%M&&&&&&&&& '~~peZhNs5OJQJ^JhS5OJQJ^Jh*rhRC5OJQJ^Jh*r5B* OJQJ^Jph$h*rh*r5B* OJQJ^Jphh 5OJQJ^Jh5OJQJ^Jhba5OJQJ^Jh [5OJQJ^Jh=.5OJQJ^Jh5OJQJ^JhRC5OJQJ^J!hFhFB*OJQJ^Jph ' '':'A'(((((((((((((((((())))) ) ) )ŷyh}30JmHnHuh / h /0Jjh /0JUhnjhnU$highD5B*OJQJ^JphhD5B*OJQJphhRChS5OJQJ^Jh5OJQJ^JhS5OJQJ^JhNs5OJQJ^Jh}35OJQJ^J((((((((((((((((() ) ) ) ) &`#$gd_$ `a$gdig $ a$gdS5 01h:p_9/ =!"#$% @@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@D Default Paragraph FontRi@R  Table Normal4 l4a (k@(No List4 @4 _9Footer  !.)@. _9 Page Number6U@6 .
