Subject: Report
on activities of Ad Hoc Committee on 9/11 and its Aftermath
Formed at the request of the Faculty Senate
the committee first spent some energies constituting itself in a manner that
represented the various political constituencies of the faculty. While this consumed considerable time, the
outcome was worthwhile and satisfactory.
The committee also worked diligently on its statement of purpose which
included serving as a publicity clearinghouse for others giving public presentations
connected to the events of 9/11. The
committee set up an efficient means of publicizing events.
On this foundation, the committee began its
activities in earnest.
We helped publicize perhaps six presentations
in the Fall/Spring of last
year In addition, the committee sponsored a
workshop in March 14, on the topic of fundamentalism and modernity. Speakers were Professor Norman Stillman,
Richard Antoun and Don Weiss.

Faculty Senate Budget Review Committee
Annual
Report, 2001-2002
The goal of the
Budget Review Committee for the past year was to work with administrative
officers of Binghamton University to generate a presentation of expenditures
which would cover all principal sources of funding for the institution. The purpose was to move beyond the outdated
concentration on state funds alone and to include expenditures made from such
revenue sources as Income Fund Reimbursable, the SUNY Research Foundation, and
the Binghamton University Foundation.
The following documents indicate that this goal has, in substantial
measure, been achieved in the past year.
The attached
documents begin with a flow chart illustrating basic steps in the current
campus budget process. This quite
correctly does not show formal participation from the Faculty Senate Budget
Review Committee. This is because the
BRC has for several years now been unable to fulfill its principal
constitutional mandate, namely, Ato review on a regular basis all institutional
budgets ... prior to implementing campus budgetary policies.@ This is due largely to the fact that SUNY campuses no longer
submit a formal budget proposal to SUNY prior to its allocation of funds. The BRC is currently exploring ways to
become involved in budgetary planning at Binghamton University prior to
expenditure. Such involvement depends
on restructuring the current process.
After the flow chart
comes a summary of fiscal controls explaining different sources of funds and
how they are controlled. This is
included in order to comprehend the following table AComparison of Expenditures:
All Funds.@ This is a high-level summary
structured to facilitate comparison between fiscal year 2000-2001 and fiscal
year 2001-2002. It should be noted that
the first line Astate purpose@ is based on a legislative appropriation which combines state taxes and
tuition as revenue sources. These funds
are made available to Binghamton University on the basis of SUNY=s budget allocation process,
itself driven largely by a formula based on enrollment in different disciplines
and at different levels and external funds raised for academic and research
purposes. It should further be noted
that together state funds represent only about 60 % of the funds expended by
Binghamton University.
Thereafter is a
series of documents which pertain only to fiscal year 2000-2001. These provide tables and matching graphics
with the following breakdowns: 1) expenditures by each vice-president; 2)
expenditures by the Provost (vice-president of academic affairs); 3)
expenditures by the vice-president of administration. Together this set of documents constitutes a new framework for
presenting an >all-funds= budget to the Faculty Senate.
The committee would not have been able to reach this stage without much
assistance from those members who are part of the campus administration: Tony
Ferrara (Vice-President for Administration); Jim Van Voorst (Assistant
Vice-President for Administration and head of the Budget Office); Mary Ann
Swain (Provost) and Michael McGoff (Vice-Provost for Planning and Budget). It is anticipated that a similar
presentation of funds expended in fiscal year 2001-2002 will be available by
December 1, 2002. That information will
then be forwarded to members of the Faculty Senate.
The BRC welcomes
comments on the new presentation format contained herein. There is, for example, no breakdown of
expenditures below the level of colleges.
Nor is expenditure on faculty lines or special programs, whether
academic or not, the subject of reporting.
Nonetheless, faculty members are free to use the Oracle system to
determine precise spending on supplies and equipment, speakers= fees or travel by different
departments, a level of detail which is unsuitable for the BRC. Thus, the BRC continues to discuss how much
reporting is enough reporting and how much is too much. This discussion will be
completed in the current academic year.
The result should be a complete reporting framework to serve as the
basis for comparing serial data in the future, starting with 2000-2001.

In November, 2001, Randy McGuire, Chair of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, asked Paul Steidlmeier to fill in for Gerry Kadish as Chair of the Committee on Committees and to fill vacancies in the Committee.
Committee membership had declined and so it was filled out. As of November 2001 there were six faculty on the committee:
A) Terms expiring in May 2002: 1) Theresa Grabo (Nursing), Gary Truce (Phys. Ed), and Paul Steidlmeier (SOM).
B) Terms expiring in May 2003: 1) Alice Mitchell (Harpur), 2) Al Dekin (Harpur), and 3) Don Brister (Library)
The Committee on Committees met on November 28, 2001 and February 27, 2002 to divide up the work in filling out committee membership. All other business was conducted by email through the Chair interacting with committee members and with Faculty Senate officers. Minutes are on file with Kathy Bowman in the Faculty Senate Office.
At the request of the Chair and the committee members, Kathy Bowman compiled updated tables of 1) Faculty Senate Committees and 2) Other University Committees. These charts have an integrating feature, which is lists on one table are in an easily usable format and include all of the following information items. There are separate columns for committee composition, chair, faculty terms whose terms end in 2002, faculty whose terms end in 2003, any other current vacancies, any current volunteers for the committees, and any notes on special requirements. These tables are on file and continually updated by Kathy Bowman.

COMMITTEE ON THE UNIVERSITY ENVIRONMENT
ANNUAL REPORT 2001-2002
The Committee held about 7 meetings this
year. Active members included Anne
Clark, Colleen Hailey, Ralph Miller, Peter Knuepfer, Julian Shepherd, James
Stark (faculty members), Nancy Lamberty (professional staff), Jeffrey Bohner
(undergraduate student), John Rayburn (graduate student), Michael McGoff and
Pearse Murray (ex officio staff members). Kelly Donovan (Environmental Health and Safety) was invited and
attended.
Major issues this year included (1) plans for the
new residential unit on campus, (2) review of other construction proposals on
campus, (3) pesticide and salt use on campus, (4) maintenance of the Nature
Preserve.
1. New
Residential Units. At several points, CUE reviewed the plans for
the new residential complex being constructed between College-in-the-Woods and
Hinman College. Plans for the area to
be cut were modified to keep intact the older forest behind CIW, and erosion
control measures were reviewed. Advice was given to the Physical Plant on
measures to reduce the noise pollution of the Nature Preserve likely to come
from the new buildings. These included
recommendations for plantings along the Connector Road and the request to keep the
height of the buildings as low as possible by excavating beneath them.
2.
Other Construction Proposals. Plans were reviewed for (1) a new ramp down
from the Susquehanna Community to Lot M , (2) a forced-flow sewer from the new
Field House cutting through the woods east of the West Gym, (3) a new facility
for OCC Transport, and (4) plantings around the new Union.
3.
Pesticide and Salt Use on Campus. CUE received and reviewed the annual
proposal for pesticide use from the Physical Plant. The University's policy on
use of salt for ice removal from roads and footways was reviewed in response to
complaints that this policy was not being followed. Representatives from the Physical Plant affirmed that this policy
would be reviewed next year.
4.
Maintenance of the Natural Areas and the Nature Preserve, CUE
approved activities by the Friends of the Nature Preserve which included
construction of a new trail and a shrubland maintenance program just north of
the ditch along the eastern end of the Marsh Trail.

Annual Report: Faculty Senate EOP Committee
June 3, 2002
Members: Jane Connor (chair),
This committee met several times each semester, approximately once a month. Since Dr. Pogue, the director of EOP, was new to the BU campus this year, a certain amount of time was spent with the committee learning about Dr. Pogue’s perceptions, goals and hopes for the EOP program as well as Dr. Pogue learning about some of the committee’s perspectives and concerns.
A number of concerns were discussed that emerged from the minority report of the sub-committee evaluating the EOP summer program in Spring, 2001. Dr. Pogue outlined how he planned to address these concerns by taking a direct role in the selection and training of staff himself.
Some other concerns regarding the academic component of the summer program were touched upon, but no clear consensus was attained. There was also insufficient time to address the issue of transition from the summer program to the regular academic year program. These topics will be re-visited in the Fall.
Dr. Pogue reported on the ongoing concerns regarding funding levels and maintaining adequate staffing. The decrease in both the number of students attending the summer program and the length of this program was regretfully noted.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC BOARD
2001 –2002 Annual Report
The Intercollegiate Athletic Board met four times during the 2001-2002 academic year. As is customary the athletic director and his staff kept the board abreast on the progress of the athletic teams, recruiting of athletes and coaches, on facilities management and improvements particularly with regard to the field house, the operating budget and team performances.
The committee spent much of the Spring term discussing a long term budgeting plan for the program. After a great deal of discussion and consideration the committee decided to recommend to the president a $10/semester increase in the athletic fee per year for the five years from the 2003-04 through the 2007-08 academic years. A summary of the meetings held throughout the year follows.
IAB meeting 12/5/01: New members were given a brief history of the IAB. Joel Thirer gave an update on fall sports activities stating that we are now firmly entrenched in Division I athletics. There was also a report on academic performance. Thirteen of the seventeen teams maintained team averages of 3.0 or better. 32% of the athletes carried GPA’s of 3.50
IAB meeting 3/12/02: The fall Academic performance update of the athletes was reported to be consistent with the prior year. The overall GPA was 3.02. There were 63 student athletes on the honor roll and 37 with GPA’s over 3.5. It was also reported the excellent progress is being made on the field house with the hope of it being operational by the 2003-04 basketball season. The committee also began a discussion of the long range funding plan for the athletic program.
IAB meeting 4/05/02: The primary focus of the meeting was to discuss the long range funding plan in conjunction with the student athletic fee. It was noted that Binghamton’s athletic fee is currently the lowest among the four SUNY Centers and is even lower than some of the SUNY Division III schools. The IAB decided to get more input and call for a vote at the next meeting
IAB meeting 4/25/01: Tony Ferraro was at the meeting to describe the fee structure that is in place for the University. The ensuing discussion was on how much of an athletic fee increase seemed given the funding plan for the next five years. After much discussion a proposal was brought forward to recommend to the President that the Athletic fee be raised $10/ semester yearly for the academic years from 2003-2004 through 2007-2008. That would bring the fee to $200/semester for the 2007-2008 academic year from a level of $150/ semester starting 2002-2003. After further discussion the motion carried unanimously by the attending board members.

The Committee met in the Fall and Spring terms to review library matters:
On January 2, 2002 the Binghamton University Libraries began using a new on-line catalog, locally named “Bearcat” (the Ex Libris Aleph 500 System). Binghamton was one of five pilot sites and the first University Center to implement it. This system is part of the “SUNYConnect” multiyear project to create a virtual library for the entire State University of New York education system (http://www.sunyconnect.suny.edu/). Information about the Binghamton University Libraries is available on-line at http://library.lib.binghamton.edu/.
At the time of the April meeting, the N.Y. State Budget was not yet available. There has been a 10% increase in electronic access costs and a 9-10% increase in periodicals. Because of the electronic availability of some traditional library items such as multiple copies of newspapers, encyclopedias, certain reference materials, the library staff has determined that some of these materials can be cancelled for the next purchasing year. There exist vacant clerical positions. Staffing may become more of an issue than the collections budget in the near future.
In the Fall, Jeanne Eichelberger, Head of Special Collections, and Yvonne Delgato, University Archivist, met with the Committee to report about the status of the University and Faculty Archives. The Archives was formally constituted in 2000 and the University Archivist hired. Copies of the “University Archives Policy” and of the “Faculty Publications Collection Policy” were distributed to members of the Committee.
Three members of the Faculty Senate Library Committee are on the Search Committee for the New Director. Various aspects of the matter of a new director were discussed at the April meeting.
On behalf of all the constituents of the Binghamton University Community, who have benefited so much from Eleanor Heishman’s work and leadership, the members wished Eleanor the very best in her new endeavors.

REPORT
OF THE BYLAWS REVIEW COMMITTEE
Academic
Year 2001-2002
The committee completed the process, begun
the previous year, of updating the Faculty Bylaws. Wording has been updated.
Inconsistencies have, we hope, been eliminated. We checked to see that
revisions passed by the faculty were included and appropriately worded.
We recommended to the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee that the "updated/corrected" version of the
By-laws be considered the current official version and that it be put on the
web.
No other action was taken by the committee.

Report of the Faculty Senate
2001-2002
In 2001-02, the UUCC continued its normal work certifying courses to meet General Education requirements. We also continued our efforts to increase the seats available in courses meeting two requirements: 1) oral communication and 2) pluralism courses for those who did not fulfill the US history component of the pluralism requirement prior to enrolling at Binghamton. For example, we held a workshop for the campus on the O requirement in January.
In addition, we presented proposals, which
the Senate accepted, 1) to stiffen the foreign language requirement and 2) to
subject transfer students to the General Education requirements that have
applied to entering freshmen since Fall 2000.

Peter
L.K. Knuepfer, Chair, Spring 2002
Date: 16 August 2002
Subject: Report for 2001-2002.
The Committee met twice during the fall semester and eleven times during the spring semester. Most of the committee=s work centered on assessment (building on reports of the EPPC=s subcommittee on assessment) and a student academic honesty code (building on a report by EPPC=s subcommittee on academic honesty). The EPPC wishes to thank Prof. Susan Strehle, chair, and the members of the assessment subcommittee, and Prof. John Frazier, chair, and the members of the academic honesty subcommittee, for their extraordinary hard work in developing these reports and recommendations. The committee=s accomplishments on these two issues were:
1. Reviewed and revised the recommendations of the subcommittee on assessment for presentation to the FSEC and Faculty Senate. Following approval of the broad outline of assessment of general education by the Senate, EPPC developed a set of more specific implementation guidelines, which were subsequently forwarded to the Executive Committee and Senate for action.
2. Reviewed and revised the recommendations of the subcommittee on academic honesty. A final set of recommendations will be forwarded to the Executive Committee at the beginning of Fall semester.
In addition, the Committee considered a broad range of additional issues. These items were discussed and resolved as follows:
1. Discussed implications of the report from the National Survey of Student Engagement for university academic policies.
2. Met with Elizabeth Carter, director of the Discovery Program, to explore the relationship between the program and the committee. Ms. Carter updated the committee on the development of the academic elements of the Discovery Program.
3. Met with the Harpur College Educational Planning and Policies Committee to discuss recommending a change in the course drop deadline. The Committees concurred that a change is advisable. The Faculty Senate EPPC decided to await action by the Harpur committee before making specific recommendations for a University-wide change.
4. Worked on formalizing a set of guidelines for the approval of new degree programs and departments. This was not finalized due to the amount of effort needed to complete work on assessment and academic honesty; a report should be ready for the Executive Committee early in the Fall 2002 semester.
Two proposals for new degree programsBone for a B.S. in Bioengineering and one for a M.A. in Social WorkBas well as a proposal for a Department of Bioengineering reached the committee too late in the Spring for action. These will be on the committee=s agenda at the beginning of the Fall 2002 semester.
