1. Call to Order, Announcements and Questions Interim President Wildenthal called the meeting to order at 2:03 PM. The recommendations for Campus Carry have been sent to the Regents. That have been no updates on the tuition increase proposals. The proposals will be presented at the February Regents meeting. Inga Musselman was in Austin attending a meeting of UT System campus Provosts and is unable to attend the Senate meeting. The President notified the Senate that UT System is concerned about the current challenges on the UTD campus. In a special session of the Regents, the Regents approved a $25 million PUF allocation to UTD. There being on further announcements, the President opened the floor to questions. There were none.

2. Approval of the Agenda Murray Leaf made the motion to approve the circulated agenda. Matt seconded. The motion carried.

3. Approval of the November 18, 2015 Minutes Dinesh Bhatia was left off the list of attendees. Murray Leaf moved to approve the amended minutes. Murat Torlak seconded. The motion carried.

4. Speaker’s Report – Tim Redman 1. The search process for a new President is moving forward. The existence of a search is on

the Regents’ agenda and is public knowledge. The members of the Presidential Search Committee noted that they are happy with the process as it has progressed.

2. Everything else is on the agenda.

5. Discussion: Moving the Time and Date of the Faculty Senate Because of a UT System conference call among campus Presidents on Wednesdays, the UT Dallas President must leave Senate and Council meetings. It is fundamental to our system of shared governance for the President to chair the Senate and Council meetings for the Provost to chair in his/her absence. Interim President Wildenthal did pass along the senate’s concerns to Executive Vice Chancellor David Daniel, who was sympathetic. There has been no further discussion. The options for the Senate are to change the day of the week or change the time for Senate and Council meetings. Any change would require that Senate by-laws to be amended. Murray Leaf recommended poling the senate members for their opinions on the options. If a change was made, it would go into effect on June 1st, 2016. David Cordell will be distributing a poll to the Senate members and reporting back his findings at the February Senate meeting.

6. Campus Carry Update- Alex Piquero The campus workgroup finished their weekly meeting right before the Thanksgiving break. At that time the campus workgroup provided the President all of their input based on their weekly discussions. The UT System workgroup’s weekly calls continued until the Christmas break and will resume on February 1, 2016. The main point of discussion will be the hearings taking place in Austin currently. The time lines that were originally specified by the Chancellor in August 2015 have changed. These changes were made due to a variety of factors that have occurred at other campuses and in the state capital. Dr. Piquero invited the faculty to view the streaming meetings online on January 26, 2016 at 9 AM. The recommendations that were in the distributed packet are situations that would already be excluded due to the wording of the law. The other documentation reflects the discussions of the working group. Dr. Piquero noted that on January 1, 2016 the Texas Open Carry law went into effect, but campuses are NOT open carry. Each campus’s recommendation must now be to the Regents by early February. System will review the recommendations and respond in February. Once complete, the President of each campus will issue a policy, possibly in March, and it will go into effect on August 1, 2016, unless overruled by a 2/3rd vote of the Board of Regents. In March there will a discussion on signage and education. It is the system workgroup’s hope that the May 2016 Regents meeting is when the Regents will address the issue. The outcome of the ongoing hearing in Austin will affect the proposed timeline and requirements. Private universities are allowed to opt out, to Dr. Piquero’s knowledge all have opted out. At this time the floor was opened to questions. R. Chandrasekaran expressed his concern regarding minors on campus for various events, such as summer camps. The response from Dr. Piquero was that it will be very complicated, and will depend on how the camps will be regulated. SB 11 states: “The President may make determinations at his/her campus that he or she feels are in the best interests of the institution.” If the President wants to do XYZ, then the President can specify XYZ. However, if the Board of Regents votes by a 2/3 majority against a part of the policy, then the President must edit the policy. Otherwise, the law is very clear that the President can make the ultimate decision on each campus.

Matt Brown asked when the Faculty Senate would be able to review and approve the policy. Interim President Wildenthal noted that as soon as the document was made public, it would be brought before the Senate for review. Dr. Brown expressed his objection on how the approval was by the President alone. President Wildenthal noted that the Chancellor has stated that the law is clear, and it must be obeyed. There is no option to vote this up or down. However, should the Faculty Senate wish to express its opinion formally, it is more than welcome to do so. Interim President Wildenthal did note that the biggest point of contention is handguns in classrooms. The prevailing message from the legislature is that classrooms must be included. Joe Izen raised the concern that in many large section classes, often times evaluations can come back from hateful, and disturbed students. He is concerned that the UTD policy could be similar to UT Austin’s. Dr. Piquero responded that the University would not be responsible for providing gun lockers/safes for Concealed Handgun Owners (CHO’s), but the CHO themselves must provide a proper place to store it themselves. Nadine Connell raised a question about ‘printing’ of the hand gun on the CHO’s person. This means someone is able to see the outline of the handgun through the pants, or bag. Dr. Piquero responded that there has not been much discussion on that topic at the system level.

7. UT Dallas’ Reaffirmation Project – Serenity King The SACSCOC meeting took place in early December. UTD had 13 attendees at the meeting: President Wildenthal, Serenity King, Clint Peinhardt, Joanna Gentsch, Nicky Piquero, Marilyn Kaplan, Alex Piquero, Mary Jo Venetis, Gloria Shenoy, Michael Carriaga, Jessica Murphy, Josh Hammers, and Kim Laird. The “Principles of Accreditation” under revision are fast-track and concurrent courses. Additionally, subsets of Principle 3.13 might become new federal mandates. Fall 2015 SACSCOC Report requires that the university continue to follow through with the commitments specified by SACS. The commitments require active follow through in each school, and it must be ongoing. It was noted that the Academic Council would be playing an active part. President Wildenthal commended Serenity King for her hard work, and he further commended all the deans for their efforts on the proposals sent to SACS for the fall 2015 report. The university now has the reaffirmation dates. The Compliance Report/ Draft QEP is due September 11, 2017. The Off-Site Review will take place November 7-10, 2017. The Focus Report (if applicable) will be January 23, 2018. The On-Site visit will be March 6-8, 2018. Dr. Sarah Maxwell can no longer participate in the Leadership Council, and Dr. Kaplan will take her place. Starting January 25, 2015 Serenity King will begin taking nominees for the Accreditation Committee memberships. Serenity will be having lunch-and-learn events starting January 29, 2016. Lunch will provided for the first 50 attendees. She will be doing three lunch-and-learn events with assigned schools, and then an additional event if needed. Finally, she requested that additional QEP (Quality Enhancement Plan) topics be submitted. Jessica Murphy is the Director of QEP.

8. FAC Report- Murray Leaf and David Cordell FAC is ramping up for the spring meeting. No items have been decided upon for the agenda. The TXCFS will be meeting on January 21, 2016, and will be discussing a variety of issues. The FACS


Page 4 of 6

Executive Council will be discussing the Dual Credit issue at their next meeting. If there are any concerns they are to be sent to David Cordell.

9. CEP Proposals- Clint Peinhardt The Committee representative presented the following committee report.

A. UTDPP 1052-Policy on Procedures for Completing a Graduate Degree Section III.3 made the follow update. “The second examination typically would must be taken no sooner than three months after the first examination, and no later than one year after the first examination. The update was made because the Graduate Council felt they owed the students time to prepare for the exams. The previous wording of “Typically would” did not protect the students. CEP agreed that it is reasonable for qualifying exams to be completed in parts. The change was made to the policy because a school wanted to start making students take the exam within one month. CEP chair Peinhardt made a motion for the Senate to approve. Richard Scotch raised a concern that in EPPS exams are typically administered in May, and then retested in August. Requiring the three months will make things difficult on faculty and students. He recommended that the policy be amended to “…must be taken no sooner than two months after the first examination…” Graduate School Dean Marion Underwood noted that Undergraduate Council’s concerns were that students would not be given enough time to properly prepare for exams. Greg Dess reminded the senate that many exams can take up to 4 weeks to properly grade. Nadine Connell noted that in her area it may only take a week to grade the exams, the three months would still be problematic for her area. Richard Scotch amended his recommendation to make it 9 or 10 weeks so that it was more reasonable. The rationale for this change is that often students need and anticipate funding but that a student who does not pass cannot be funded. If they must wait a long period of time it could seriously delay students and financially affect programs. Jennifer Holmes offered the suggestion to move spring exams to finals week. Due the academic calendar, 3 months would cause serious issues. She moved to refer the policy to Graduate Council for further review. Murray Leaf seconded. The motion carried.

B. 2016 Graduate Catalog Course Inventory There was one class that needed specifically reviewed of the 168 courses presented was HCS7121-“Graduate Seminar in Systems”. It is a repeatable class. The committee reviewed the acceptable reasons for repeating a class. CEP chair Peinhardt made a motion for the Senate to approve the Course Inventory. The motion carried.

C. Undergraduate and Graduate Grade Change Policy The wording has been updated to adjust the approval line. Previously the approval line required five different approvals. It has been adjusted to, “A faculty-initiated change of a final grade requires the written approval of the instructor, and the department, program head or Associate Dean, as determined by the school.” The last paragraph was also updated to denote the same approval process. “Any grade change initiated after the eighth week of the semester requires the written approval of the instructor, the department, program head, or Associate Dean, as determined by the school, and the Dean of Undergraduate [or Graduate] Studies.”


Page 5 of 6

Under the Student Request section, a change was made in ensure that it aligns with the academic grievance policy. Previously the student had to petition for a grade review within 60 calendar days. CEP wanted to make sure it was clear to the students that they could petition within that time, but if they go over the limit they must follow the academic grievance policy. The wording was adjusted to make it clearer. Another change was noted that “Any grade change initiated after the eighth week of the semester requires…” previously read, “Any grade change initiated after the eighth week of the long semester requires….” CUE and Grad Council requested the word “long” be removed because it would be too long of a time for students to consider a grade change. It was not fair for the students who went fall to spring who had less time. The first sentence of the Student Request section was updated from “A student has the right to request a review of the grades received in any class.” To read, “After a final grade has been recorded by the Office of the Registrar, a student has the right to request a review of that grade.” This is to make it identical in wording to the Faculty-Initiated section. CEP chair Peinhardt made a motion for the Senate to approve the Grade Change Policy. Matt Brown raised the concern that the policy would require professors on nine month contracts to ‘work’ during the summer. Clint noted that during the CEP discussion that the approvals could be done electronically. Dr. Brown responded that this was a labor issue. David Cordell noted that there were dissimilar timeframes for fall versus spring because summer adds three months to the time available for a spring grade change. David Cordell moved to refer the policy back to CEP for further review. Matt Brown seconded. The motion carried.

D. Coutelle Dual Degree Program The program allows a student to do course work at two different universities, and get a PhD from each school. Currently the University has four such agreements. The student listed in the agreement has been at the university since 2014, and will begin studies in France in the spring 2016 semester. As with previous students, the student has completed all UTD requirements, and starting spring 2016 will begin the France portion. CEP chair Peinhardt made a motion for the Senate to approve the Coutelle Agreement. Jennifer Holmes moved to approve. Murray Leaf seconded. The motion carried.

E. Updated Graduate Admissions Catalog Policy Some program agreements with high quality institutions allow for certain test scores to be waived for admission to specific degree programs. An example would be if a partner school nominates a student from the top 20% of his/her class for admission to UTD without an exam. Such agreements are approved by the International Oversight Committee for foreign institutions, and so it is important to allow the flexibility where agreements call for such waivers. CEP chair Peinhardt made a motion for the Senate to approve the Graduate Admissions policy. The motion carried.

10. Student Government Report No representative was present, therefore no report was given.

11. Amendment to UTDPP 1024- Charge to the Committee on Effective Teaching – Tim Redman

The reference to student representatives on the committee was amended to include one undergraduate and one graduate student representative on the committee. Murray Leaf motioned to approve the amendments. Greg Dess seconded. The motion carried.

12. Approval of Committee Replacements – Tim Redman Committee replacement activity included the following:

Institutional Bio safety & Chemical Safety Committee: Lee Bulla replaces Rocky Draper. Staff Council has requested that Deborah Hamlin be the Vice-chair of the Wellness

Committee. This appointment is consistent with the UTDPP1017 change to the committee charge that was discussed at the November Academic Senate meeting and passed through the HOP Committee on December 2, 2015.

University Wellness Committee: Nancy Bryant left the University. Michele Brown asked to not serve on this committee. Staff Council requested that Sara Asberry and Frances Branham be allowed to serve in place of Nancy Bryant and Michele Brown.

Murray Leaf moved to approve. Richard Scotch seconded. The motion carried.

13. Revisions to Research of Conflict of Interest – Murray Leaf Dr. Leaf had circulated an updated research conflict of interest policy. The policy had been approved by the senate during the November meeting, however, during the December 2nd, 2015 HOP meeting it was found it had not been approved by the Office of Research. It was then reviewed by the Research Integrity committee. The policy was updated to reflect federal requirements, and brought back to the Senate for re-approval. Murray Leaf moved to approve the policy. Greg Dess seconded. The motion carried.

14. New Business Tres Thompson noted that the new BBS building is now open, and complimented the ease of transition.

15. Adjournment

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 3:30 PM. APPROVED: ___________________________ DATE: _____________

Tim Redman Speaker

Item 10: Proposed

Faculty Senate Resolution on Campus Carry

Proposed Resolution:Whereas the ultimate legal authority of determining the Campus Carry policyimplementing SB11 resides entirely in the President of the University;Whereas the legal and practical issues involved in drafting such a policy arecomplicated and difficult;Whereas the current process for determining Campus Carry policy circumventsthe ordinary and Regent-mandated Handbook of Operating Procedures Process;Whereas a major question for such a policy is whether classrooms may becategorized as exclusion zones;Whereas policies that impact the way courses are conducted, the classroomlearning environment, student-teacher interactions in the classroom, et cetera areclearly pedagogical in nature, and allowing concealed weapons in the classroomis clearly such a policy;Whereas principles of Faculty Governance, which are paramount at the Universityof Texas at Dallas, requires the faculty to have a strong voice in pedagogicalissues, typically via the Academic Senate;Whereas the UT System Concealed Carry Working Group could not reachconsensus in its Recommendations about whether the law permits classrooms tobe excluded;Whereas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Opinion (KP-0051) on Campus Carryrules acknowledges that, “S.B. 11 does not expressly address the extent towhich the carrying of concealed handguns can be regulated specifically withinclassrooms”;Whereas the legislative history behind SB11 is opaque and contradictory enoughto make any definitive determination of the intent behind the law with respectto classrooms as exclusion zones difficult if not impossible; now, therefore, be itResolved, that the Academic Senate of the University of Texas at Dallas:

1. strongly urges the President to follow the Handbook of Operating Proce-dures Process (UTDPP1056) by submitting a draft policy to the FacultySenate and the HOP Committee for approval before forwarding a finalversion to the Regents;

2. strongly urges the President, in his determination of Campus Carry policy,to categorize classrooms as exclusion zones;

3. encourages the President to resist on principle attempts to permit concealedhandguns in the classroom in the name of good pedagogy and facultygovernance over pedagogical matters; and

4. pledges to lend their voices in support of the President in the face of anychallenge from the Board of Regents, or any legal challenges to the policy.

Item : 8 Faculty

Advisory Council / Texas

Council of Faculty Senates

Report

FAC Report The Faculty Advisory Council Met on January 21-22, 2016 UT Dallas was represented by Murray leaf and David Cordell. 1. First order of business was a review of the recent Board of Regents meeting by the chair, Ann Killery. 2. The first visitor was Dr. Patti Hurn, Vice Chancellor for Quantum Leaps and Technology Development. Quantum Leaps is an initiative of the Chancellor to designate selected areas where the UT system as a whole can find synergies to make very substantial advances. Most of the discussion, however, was about the rules to be written to implement the new Regent’s Rule 90101, on intellectual property. This asserts in part that the regents own all intellectual property produced by all employees “in the course and scope of employment.” The FAC members object strongly to this Rule and the system administration is aware of this, but I do not know how much of this objection has been conveyed in detail. Dr. Hurn passed out a list of committees to be involved. Most of them have representatives of faculty. Many of these are from the Faculty Advisory Council. I am not among them. The one person from UT Dallas is not from the faculty advisory Council and not on the UT Dallas senate. Dr. Killery praised Dr. Hurn’s willingness to involve the faculty. It was only after the meeting, and privately, that she noted that Dr. Hurn did not use the recommendations that had been agreed to when Dr. Hurn met with us at the previous FAC meeting. As projected by Dr. Hurn, the process will be complex and probably not finish this year. It may involve rewriting part of the Regents Rule. Until then, the current policies will remain in effect. 3. The next visitor was Dr. David Troutman, Director of Strategic Initiatives. The topic was the proposed collaborative research by his office and members of the Faculty Advisory Council on the increased use of dual credit courses in high schools and it’s impact on instruction in the UT campuses. The discussion focused on possible things to look at. The intent is to make it a major example of cooperative policy research. 4. The next visitor was Ed Matteson, the new chief information security officer for the UT System. Matteson commended the U T Dallas model of cooperation, and made clear that he intended to support it. Apparently, campuses across the system are adopting dual identification. Mr. Matteson asked how this was going and representatives of them IS indicated that it was working very well. No one reported problems. 5. The next speaker was Regent Sarah Martinez Tucker. Regent Tucker is very knowledgeable about higher education support in the United States. She had been on the search committee for the UT Dallas President and remarked that she had been well primed there on the importance of shared governance. In the course of the meeting, however, she was made rather sharply aware that not all campuses had the same level of faculty involvement and effectiveness as UT Dallas. I think this gave her a much better appreciation of the importance of FAC as the means by which faculty governance organizations on the several campuses advise support each other, rather than simply addressing themselves to the Regents.

In the course of the meeting, one of the members asked Regent Tucker what she thought the governor wanted. The question was a bit startling, but the answer was very encouraging. She said she had not been personally interested in the position but had been asked directly by Governor Abbott to take it. His principal reason was that he was aware of the damage that had been done to the reputation of university nationally and internationally by the recent efforts of Gov. Perry, and was intent on repairing it. 6. On the following morning the first visitor was Tony Cucolo, Associate Vice Chancellor and liaison to the FAC. He is a retired lt. general and among other things has been director of the Army War College. Like Chancellor McRaven, Mr. Cucolo’s understanding of the value of education is strongly focused on preparing people for public service, rather than simply for employment. Discussion was wide-ranging. Mr. Cucolo forcefully asserted the need for shared governance, but also recognized that the way it was organized would vary from campus to campus. He said that he would ask what he could do on each campus to strengthen the relationship. A topic raised by FAC members concerned the use of ‘metrics. How would the administration measure progress? There was good agreement on what was superficial, that superficial measures were not desirable, and that assessments should themselves be consultative and part of the shared governance process. Another topic was the “Rooney rule” embodied in a new system policy on administrative hires above the level of department head. The rule is that minority candidates would have to be included in all final lists, if qualified. FAC members had two major questions. One was why department heads had not been included. The other was whether this would force the inclusion of less qualified candidates. To respond, Mr. Cucolo said he would ask the legal team that drafted the policy to join the discussion. They did. The discussion showed that they were aware of the difficulties of composing pools to fit the rule if the candidates were drawn wholly from within the unit—which was one of the reasons for not including department chairs. They also made clear that their definition of minority was based on the Civil Rights Act, which is quite broad, and not other laws that are more narrowly drawn. The most basic point was that the candidates must be qualified. If no qualified candidates to fit the rule can be found, this can be said. 7. Lunch involved a working discussion with Dr. Steven Leslie, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Dr. Leslie again picked up the theme of the importance of shared governance. I noted that the FAC appreciated the greater interaction with the regents, but were very disappointed about being left off of the committee to revise regents rule 90101. We had been explicitly promised by Chancellor Cigarroa among others that we would be included. Dr. Leslie said he had not been aware that we had been told we would be included or that we had been left off. He did not know who actually made the appointments. I suggested that in the future any committee involved in drafting modifications to Regents Rules that bore on areas of faculty concern should have members of the FAC on it. He did not disagree. I suggested that appointments to such always be made in consultation with the appropriate Executive Vice Chancellor. He agreed.

8. The final visitor was Dr. John Zerwas, the chair of the House Higher Education Committee. Dr. Zerwas is an anesthesiologist. He began by expressing his view of the value of a broad education in the liberal arts, not just a technical or professional education. He described the attitude of the legislature toward higher education as a much more supportive this session than last, although he noted that the failure of the previous legislature to approve Tuition Revenue Bonds reflected more personal politics than a general legislative attitude. They were passed this year. The budget apart from the TRBs was also substantially increased. In discussion, he was asked if a bill for open carry on campuses was likely to be approved. He said it was not. I asked about what had been Senate Bill 15 in the legislative session before last year, offered by Sen. Seliger. Dr Zerban said that he was not closely familiar with or engaged with the bill in this past session. He knew that Sen. Seliger had brought it up and found little interest. So he had dropped it. I said that this was a very important for the long haul for faculty all across the state. If it were brought up again, without the distraction of the CLH bill, it might be possible to mobilize wider support for it through the FAC and the Texas Council of Faculty Senates. He indicated that he would consider it. 9. The only item that the FAC voted on was a request addressed to Mr. Cucolo to make a section of the UT system website available for electronic binders that would contain links to the major academic policies on each campus, so each campus could easily see how other campuses had handled various common problems. Mr. Cucolo had agreed to the idea of such a website in his conversation with the FAC, but asked for a formal request. Murray J Leaf 10 Feb 2016
