Presidents Report Dr. Rusovici stated the research supplement cannot be included in our annual salary owing to federal guidelines; this information was relay-ed to him by the Vice President for Research Mr. Frank Kinney. The research supplement will continue to be distributed in two installments. The same outcome was reported by Senator Marcinkowski, who made a separate inquiry with other administration personnel. From attending the Board of Trustees meeting, Pres. Rusovici was able to report a budget shortfall of about $7.5 million, as stated by Dr. McCay. The impact of this is still to be seen. Mrs. Cathy Wood, the new Chief Financial Officer, is working with Dr. McCay for the best possible outcomes, with the least amount of pain. The shortfall may be allevi-ated by an influx of students. When the finances are in better shape the equity raise program could be reinstated. We are down about two hun-dred students compared to spring of 2015. The shortfall may be in part the result of raising entrance standards for students. There will be a three-percent increase in tuition for on-campus stu-dents. Dr. Rusovici announced that our administration has been consid-ering a proposal by a foundation to place an osteopathic medical school on the Space Coast. The Board of Trustees has given a green light to our administration to further pursue this endeavor. While the following information is very preliminary, the osteopathic school would be physi-cally located in close proximity to our campus and would include an additional set of buildings comprising 140,000 square feet of classrooms and research space, out of which it is projected that 60,000 square feet would be allocated to 鶹ýӳ researchers. The medical school would also purchase services (i.e. security) from us. The program would start in 2018, and would bring in a significant number of students to 鶹ýӳ, especially in life sciences-related academic units. The Board has announced that the budget will be balanced after one fiscal year. The financial plan does not call for any reduction in the endowment, which currently stands at $59 million. With regard to the Provost search, all four candidates from the original field have been interviewed. A ranking is to be created for Dr. McCay, who will make the final decision. Some questions put to the candidates were: what would he or she do for the faculty? How would our advising load be alleviated? And how would the Teaching Assistants work be constituted? The proposed date of hiring for the new Provost is not as yet fixed. Committee Reports Senator Tenali, head of the Academic Affairs Committee, would speak of a proposal later, under New Business. There was no Administrative Policies Committee report. For the 鶹ýӳ Executive Committee Scholarship report, Pres. Rusovici stated that, based on consultations with Mrs. Brenda Brown, three awards will be available this year; scholarships will go to freshmen students in Biomedical Engineering (College of Engineering), College of Aeronautics, and Extended Studies. The basic requirement for the awards is that the student will have a 3.4 grade point average, or above; be a rising freshman; and not be supported by another scholarship. Sen. Baarmand, chair of the Faculty Excellence Awards Committee, stated that the call for nominations has been made. The deadline for dossier submission is February 24th. Dr. McCay has agreed to making a monetary award for each category: teaching, research, and service. The Welfare Committee report included that the Panther Aquatic Center recreation pool, with its three lanes, would be available for public (e.g., faculty) use beginning at seven a.m. once the recreation pool heating problem is fixed. Faculty access to the shower/change room is through the lifeguard office where a second lifeguard will always be avail-able and happy to open the locker room for faculty, as guaranteed by Director of Athletics Bill Jurgens. After discussions with Monica Baloga and compliance with SACS requirements, the Student Complaint Handling Process nomenclature will be changed from: All written student complaints, with their resolutions, will be documented to All written student complaints, including names, dates,and actions taken, and their resolutions will be document-ed This clarifies that there is no anonymity in the formal student complaint handling process. This will facilitate and expedite the resolu-tion process for faculty and administration. Still on the table for clarification and discussion of the Student Complaint Handling Process: Presently, is a students anonymity maintained when an informal student complaint is made? What distinguishes the informal and formal student complaint (is it simply that one is oral and one is written?) Is this formal vs. informal complaint distinction enacted consistently across the university? Should anonymity be maintained in the informal process in cases where resolution is required? (e.g., context helps establish credibility of the complaint.) In what cases would resolution not be the goal? Therefore should anonymity ever be maintained in the informal complaint process? Should the formal complaint handling process be worded like the more detailed informal version of the process in the student handbook?; Should the faculty handbook have a version that matches the process that is in the student handbook? Presently the faculty handbook does not have a stated student complaint-handling process for faculty. These are matters that still need to be clarified. Sen. Arrasmith, chair of the Technology, Resources and Infrastruc-ture Committee, gave his report. He said he has met with the University Web Designer about the Faculty Senate Web page; all the things he wants for this page are possible, but there will be a delay owing to the need for a new Web engine to be installed. He looked at updating our site, and found doing so pretty straight-forward. The page will have a faculty research, capabilities and interests, portal. He said he needs help with content. His committees representative from ACITC (ACademic Information Technology Committee) is Dr. Barry Webster; the secretary is Mary Barker, who will provide electronic minutes. There is an ITEC (Information Tech-nology Executive Committee) meeting coming up this month; as things stand now, Dr. Arrasmith is invited to the ITEC as a guest. The vote on the TRI chair becoming a permanent member of the ITEC will occur after the former committee becomes a regular standing committee. Concerning training videos, there is the issue of availability, con-struction, and the use of Panopto and Canvas, with beginning, inter-mediate and advanced topics. Streaming is also another item, starting with DSL capabilities, connecting DSL to FIT computational capabilities (involving big data analytics, data mining and parallel processing). The Department of Engineering Systems will need a server for model-based systems engineering tools; Sen. Arrasmith is currently looking at Web-based implementation, which he would like to hook into the DSL. Another matter is bringing DSL into the classroom; there will be an ACITC mini-grant opportunity for next fall. Dr. Arrasmith is investigating using Web-Ex for some future TRI committee meetings and to allow absent/traveling/remote committee members and/or invitees to participate. With regards to resources, he is interested in getting involved with potential energy-related projects (e.g. campus conversion to LED bulbs, solar charging stations, and other green campus projects). As well, he is concerned with the impact of our budget shortfall on campus infrastructure and building plans. Indeed, as for infrastructural matters, there is the status of new buildings for labs, classrooms, and offices. As well, there is the issue of equipment refreshment and pre-planned improvements. He raised the question of our having an institutional technology plan like an Enterprise Architectural Framework/Enterprise Architecture Plan. Dr. Arrasmith will connect with the University Sustainability liaison to look into these matters. The names of the past recipients of the Faculty Excellence Awards winners will appear on our Web page. New Business Sen. Tenali spoke on the rankings of academic programs and the ranking of the university itself. He asked that the Senate recommend a Fact Book such as those that are issued by Carnegie Mellon and Georgia Tech. This is a document that gives all the relevant information about programs and research at a university, and compares our rankings and the factors that affect the rankings with those of the peer research institutes. Such a document would be of great help to the heads of the departments and the faculty members in identifying the areas that need to be focused on to improve the rankings. This could be a project of Institutional Research for peer comparison, with the fact books given to department heads. Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Semen Kksal, was in attendance and commented that she has worked on something like this for the last three years, and will work with Dr. Tenali on it. Sen. Arrasmith pointed out that such a document should concen-trate on the statistics by which we are evaluated. Sen. Baarmand was nominated for President of the Senate; Secre-tary Shearer was nominated for Secretary of the Senate. Voting will take place next Senate meeting. Discussion Sen. Suksawang brought up the issue of standardizing courses for transfer credit, especially those in Humanities. By universal assent, the meeting was adjourned at 5:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Bob Shearer, Secretary  INCLUDEPICTURE "https://ex.fit.edu/owa/14.3.266.1/themes/resources/clear1x1.gif" \* MERGEFORMATINET  INCLUDEPICTURE "https://ex.fit.edu/owa/14.3.266.1/themes/resources/clear1x1.gif" \* MERGEFORMATINET  William Arrasmith TRI Committe 25 January 2016 Welcome Agenda - Chair Report - Met with University Web Designer on Faculty Senate Web Page; all possible but need to wait until new web engine is installed; looked at updating web site - pretty straight forward -- Web Page (need Tue 5:11 PM  INCLUDEPICTURE "https://ex.fit.edu/owa/14.3.266.1/themes/resources/clear1x1.gif" \* MERGEFORMATINET  INCLUDEPICTURE "https://ex.fit.edu/owa/14.3.266.1/themes/resources/clear1x1.gif" \* MERGEFORMATINET      PAGE  PAGE 2 !#),GIQSZ\dfu|ƷƁrffrƜfWfƷKfh)B*OJQJphh0=h:,B*OJQJphh;B*OJQJphh0=h;0B*OJQJphh0=hB*OJQJphhWB*OJQJphh0=hkvmB*OJQJphhC\B*OJQJphh0=h`B*OJQJphh&B*OJQJph hbGhbGB*H*OJQJphhbGB*OJQJph h0=h`5B*OJQJph*+,u v w H I J ] ^ d$ `a$gdQ0$ `a$gdbG $ a$gdbG$ `a$gdC\`gdhgd@%`gd&gd`$a$gd`/3T3    ( t u w sdSES7h;5B*OJQJphh&5B*OJQJph hC\h=5B*OJQJphh0=hC\B*OJQJphh@%h@%B*OJQJphh@%>*B*OJQJphh@%B*OJQJphh=B*OJQJphh$1B*OJQJphhigB*OJQJphh;B*OJQJphh@]B*OJQJphh&B*OJQJphh0=h:,B*OJQJphhC\B*OJQJph    F H J \ q  U V yzͼޮuggYKuKYuKYKYuYKh""5B*OJQJphhQ05B*OJQJphh]5B*OJQJphh]5B*OJQJphhH5B*OJQJphhbG5>*B*OJQJphhbG5B*OJQJphhC\5B*OJQJph hC\h_95B*OJQJph hC\h"5B*OJQJph hC\h=5B*OJQJph hC\h;05B*OJQJphr  |"#l&z{|ȺȁsȏehO5B*OJQJphh0h5B*OJQJphh$5B*OJQJphh+5B*OJQJphh`5>*B*OJQJphh5B*OJQJphh`5B*OJQJphhDv5B*OJQJphh]5B*OJQJphh]5B*OJQJphhQ05B*OJQJph#gjkl~&'#$$ `a$gd7 $ a$gdDv$ `a$gd` $ a$gd`$ `a$gdbG$ `a$gdDv$ `a$gdQ0|#$j^_`bcfg@P%601AT䶪~~~~~hH5OJQJh7OJQJh]5OJQJh$5OJQJh75OJQJh7h75OJQJh75B*OJQJphhDv5B*OJQJph#h+h+5B*H*OJQJphh+5B*OJQJphh 5B*OJQJph1g73A A B A"#$%&($ `a$gdbG$ `a$gd32$ `a$gd`$ `a$gdH$ & F a$gdH $ a$gd7$ `a$gd7  @ A B g!h!!!""@"A"m"n"u"""##0#8#J#N####$5$6$f$g$$$#%$%3%R%%´|nnnn||nnnnnnh5B*OJQJphh325B*OJQJphh$5B*OJQJphhO5B*OJQJphh:zz5B*OJQJphhF5B*OJQJph h`h`5B*OJQJphh`5B*OJQJphhH5OJQJh}5OJQJh7h75OJQJ*%%%%%%%%%%%&&&h'j'''0()))W*X******+ʹ|n`Q`hWo5>*B*OJQJphhWo5B*OJQJphh5B*OJQJphh'+5OJQJ\h'+5B*OJQJphhh5B*OJQJphh$5OJQJ\h)]5OJQJ\h)]OJQJh$5OJQJh)]h)]5OJQJh$5B*OJQJphhO5B*OJQJphh05B*OJQJph(X*****+-`...v/w/x/////3040$ `a$gd\ $ a$gd\$ `a$gdwK$ `a$gdWo $ a$gdWo$ `a$gdbG+,,,'-)---.-/---------...//w/x/////+020d0ȺȺȞqcqTh\5>*B*OJQJphh_5B*OJQJphh5B*OJQJphh$15B*OJQJph h$1h$15B*OJQJphh\5B*OJQJphh5B*OJQJphhO5B*OJQJphhWo5B*OJQJphh]5B*OJQJphh$5B*OJQJphhwK5B*OJQJph4050M0N0e0f091K1N2Z2.3/3132343537383:3;3D3E3F3 &`#$gd_$ `a$gdiggdF $ a$gd\$ `a$gd\d0e0f0g00051617181Z2[22222)3*3+3,3-3.3;;ͪ;jSE7hD5B*OJQJphhh5B*OJQJph,jhFB*CJOJQJU^JaJph,jFhFB*CJOJQJU^JaJph#hFB*CJOJQJ^JaJph,jhFB*CJOJQJU^JaJph&jhF<CJOJQJU^JaJhF<CJOJQJ^JaJ&jhF<CJOJQJU^JaJhFCJOJQJ^JaJ h\h\5B*OJQJph.3/303233353638393;3<3B3C3D3F3G3M3N3O3P3Q3S3T3U3h]0JmHnHuh32 h320Jjh320JUhdjhdU$highD5B*OJQJ^JphF3Q3R3S3T3U3$ `a$gdig &`#$gd_5 01h:p_9/ =!"#$% Ddz  c VAclear1x1divDividerLeftb2ː9[VDnbs%Dn2ː9[VDnbs%PNG  IHDR%VsBIT|.wPLTEٟtRNS0JbKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Om IDATchIENDB`Dd|  c XA clear1x1divDividerRightb2ː9[VDnbs%n2ː9[VDnbs%PNG  IHDR%VsBIT|.wPLTEٟtRNS0JbKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Om IDATchIENDB`Ddz  c VAclear1x1divDividerLeftb2ː9[VDnbs%n2ː9[VDnbs%PNG  IHDR%VsBIT|.wPLTEٟtRNS0JbKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Om IDATchIENDB`Dd|  c XA clear1x1divDividerRightb2ː9[VDnbs%,n2ː9[VDnbs%PNG  IHDR%VsBIT|.wPLTEٟtRNS0JbKGDH cmPPJCmp0712Om IDATchIENDB`@@@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DA@D Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k(No List4 @4 _9Footer  !.)@. _9 Page Number6U@6 .
