2. 
President's Report 
President O'Leary welcomed the 1988-89 Senate and noted the importance of 
the Senate. 
The President said the University Senate is the principal 
advisory body to him. 
He also noted that another characteristic is the 
important role of the Councils of the University Senate adding that a 
tremendous amount of work is done by the Councils. 
The President said 
that many important items are already before the various Councils of the 
University Senate. 
President O'Leary distributed a flow chart of the planning process at the 
University at Albany and supplied copies of Programs and Priorities 1988 
for students. 
He explained that Programs and Priorities informs the 
budget process. 
Each unit of the University reports on progress toward 
meeting its goals and sets new goals which are ultimately reviewed by the 
Long Range Planning Committee of the Council on Educational Policy. 
At 
the same time the budgeting process goes on through the budget panel, 
which has on it all members of the Resource Advisory Council of EPC. 
The 
President noted that the interaction of these governance bodies with the 
administrative units of the University goes on year round. 
The President then turned to the current budget situation. 
He covered the 
history of budgeting at the University, revealing a loss of 150 positions 
-2-
since 1980 or an overall cut of 7 percent. 
Instruction and instructional 
support positions took only 5 percent cuts, the President noted, while 
other areas were reduced by 12-15 percent. 
He also explained that OTPS 
funding did not keep pace with inflation. 
Against that background, the 
President reviewed what happened this year. 
Normally the State does not 
allocate enough money to cover all salaries al'l year. 
They assume "salary 
savings," the President explained. 
But in addition to Albany's budgeted 
salary savings target, the State's revenue was $900 million less than 
expected, requiring additional and very late savings totaling $2 million 
from this University. 
Those cuts were distributed across the University 
while still protecting instruction and instructional support and the 
Library, the President said. 
But that late cut is what drove some of the 
problems with course reductions that occurred at registration this year. 
The President also noted that the State has indicated that these 
reductions are permanent. 
For next year SUNY has already been told that the budget will be very 
tough. 
The President explained that simply to cover the cost of 
negotiated pay raises will require a $4.5 million increase for the Albany 
campus. 
A month ago the Chancellor was asked to consider absorbing these 
negotiated salary increases, but that requirement seems to have abated, 
President O'Leary said. 
In addition to salary increases, funds for 
library acquisition and inflation bring the total amount for a 
"stand-still" budget for Albany to $5.4 million. 
The President also 
explained that the Graduate Research Initiative Request will be scaled 
down this year and a modest program augmentation for undergraduates will 
be requested. 
Thus, the total campus request for 1989-90 will be $6.3 
million more than this year. 
In addition Albany has a number of capital 
requests, and the number one priority is an academic building, followed by 
student services, day care center and a research facility, 
The original 
budget request was to be much greater but this year the decision has been 
made to request only the slight increases indicated. 
The President then 
explained that negotiations will now go on, but that the State's position 
has to be taken very seriously. 
Reductions are real and SUNY must be as 
aggressive as possible in many different forums to make its case. 
When 
asked about tuition, the President noted that no one wants to increase 
tuition because part of what attracted many of us, both faculty and 
students, to SUNY was the access it afforded. 
In the end, he said, 
difficult choices may have to be made. 
The President was asked whether 
the list of capital requests were in ranked order; and he said they were 
in approximate order. 
He was also asked how far in the future those 
buildings might go up and he responded that, with luck, two to three years. 
3. 
SUNY-wide Senate Report 
R. Collier reported on a recent retreat on governance held by the 
SUNY-wide Senate. 
The Chancellor addressed the forum and expressed his 
feeling that though the situation is very tight, it is not disastrous. 
The Chancellor clearly specified that he did not want campuses to begin 
planning retrenchments because that was a self defeating process. 
Senator 
Collier also noted that all campuses will be requesting, as Albany is 
doing, modest increases in their budget with the hope that those will be 
seen as realistic requests. 
On the theme of governance, Senator Collier 
noted that the Chancellor supports shared decision-making and he said that 
many campuses do not have meaningful input from all constituencies. 
-3-
SUNY-wide Senate Committee activities: 
The Operations Committee will look 
at affirmative action review boards and affirmative action awards. 
The 
Committee has a budget handbook available. 
The Student Life Committee is 
planning a state-wide conference on AIDS and will be reviewing quality of 
life issues,especially bias-related violence. 
The Undergraduate Committee 
is studying orientation and its effects on retention and will examine the 
theme "Society and the New Liberal Arts." 
The Graduate Committee will 
address the ethics issue and quality of life for graduate students. 
The 
Governance Committee plans to issue a handbook with a model set of by-laws 
for faculty. 
Senator Collier noted that an October 28-29 meeting at 
Cortland will offer presidential perspectives on governance. 
He also 
announced the Conversations in the Disciplines Grant program and the 
Faculty Grants for Improvement of Undergraduate Education Program, and had 
copies available. 
Student Association President James Lamb asked if the SUNY-wide Senate 
took any stand on the new athletic fee, 
Senator Collier responded that 
several people had qualms about it, but that the SUNY-wide Senate had 
endorsed it with the proviso that care be taken to make sure students' 
voices are heard and that waivers are available, 
The Faculty Senate 
strongly recommended that consultation with students take place, but the 
manner is left up to the campuses. 
4. 
Chair's Report 
Chairman Hammond noted several changes to the Faculty By-laws had been 
approved by the faculty at their meeting on September 14th that would 
affect the Senate. 
Effective July 1, 1989, the Student Association 
President will also be an ex-officio member of the Senate as well as an 
ex-officio member of the Executive Committee, 
Consequently, the number of 
elected undergraduate Senators will be reduced by one. 
He also explained 
that Senate elections must now be completed four full weeks in advance of 
the end of the semester and that the sitting Senate will elect the 
officers of the new Senate. 
Chairman Hammond noted that there were 
several Council vacancies and provided the Senate with the Executive 
Committee's recommendations for filling those vacancies: 
CAFE - Jeff Flynn was nominated to replace Allen Weinberg as an 
undergraduate on that committee. 
EPC - Matt McKeon is nominated to fill an undergraduate vacancy. 
CPCA - John Monfasani was nominated to fill the vacancy of Joseph Zacek 
and April Shelford will fill the graduate student vacancy on that 
committee. 
Research Council - Richard Leventhal was nominated to fill the vacancy of 
Sharon Bonk and there is one other vacancy on that committee. 
University Community Council - Lee Miller, an undergraduate, was nominated 
to replace Jeff Flynn. 
A motion was made to accept the recommendations of the Executive 
Committee; it unanimously passed the Senate.

Council Reports 
Because of tbe planned reception following the Senate meeting, Council 
Reports were deferred with the exception of one that will follow New 
Business. 
7. 
New Business 
Bill 8889-01: 
Period of Service for Members of the Promotions Council. 
Chairman Hammond noted that it will be his policy on bills recommended 
from Senate Councils to consider them as arriving on the floor of the 
Senate moved and seconded. 
Therefore, Bill 8889-01 was brought to the 
floor, moved and seconded, and it passed unanimously. 
Bill 8889-02: 
Position of Chair of Program Review Committee. 
Chairman 
Hammond explained that the bill came from the Executive Committee because 
the Program Review Committee had operated without a Chair for several 
years. 
Because of the complicated nature of the committee, which reports 
to three Councils and the Senate, the Executive Committee recommended that 
a Senator be named Chair of that Committee by the Senate. 
That bill 
passed unanimously. 
Chairman Hammond reported that the Executive Committee recommended that 
Chair-Elect Ronald Bosco be appointed Chair of the Program Review 
Committee. 
The motion passed. 
8. 
Council Reports - Deferred from earlier in the meeting 
Council on Educational Policy - Chairman Kendall Birr reported that EPC 
was introduced to a major curriculum revision proposal called "4 x4": 
if 
implemented; students would take four courses for four credits each during 
the semester. 
The current norm is five courses for three credits each. 
The principal motivation, Senator Birr explained, is that it would 
encourage a somewhat more narrow focus. 
He noted, however, that there are 
downsides to the proposal and that EPC will give initial consideration to 
it at the next meeting, October 31. 
EPC is being asked to consider 
whether the University should undertake a full scale investigation in 
design of the "4 x 4" plan. 
If EPC recommends full consideration, design 
of a "4 x 4" curriculum will be a major governance task which will 
ultimately involve the Undergraduate Academic Council, to a lesser extent 
the Graduate Academic Council and the full Senate, he noted. 
He also 
explained that if the University does proceed, the timing suggests some 
kind of Senate decision in December or early in the spring and that beyond 
that, the plan would take at least a full year for development and 
implemention in the departments and schools. 
J. Lamb asked if such a 
switch will change general education requirements and K. Birr responded 
that that issue would have to be examined. 
Student Affairs Council - Student Affairs Council Chair David Ettinger 
asked to make a report to the Senate. 
He noted that the Council is 
currently considering one issue, Freshmen Rush. 
Effective this year no 
more first semester freshmen were allowed to rush through the Greek 
system, but the Student Affairs Council has decided to undertake a reveiw 
-5-
of that policy. 
He explained that Lisa Rizzolo did some research and 
discovered that freshman Greeks are doing better than freshmen 
non-Greeks. 
And, therefore, the Student Affairs Council has decided to 
reconsider the issue. 
The meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Bill No. 8889-01 
UNIVERSITY SENATE 
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY

July 13, 1988 
IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED THAT THE FOLLOWING BE ADOPTED:

II. 
This bill shall become effective as soon as it is signed by the 
President. 
III.

1-12 
Bill No. 8889-02 
UNIVERSITY SENATE 
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY 
POSITION OF CHAIR OF THE PROGRAM REVIEW COMMITTEE 
INTRODUCED BY: 
Executive Committee 
DATE: 
September 19, 1988 
IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED THAT THE FOLLOWING BE ADOPTED: 
I. 
The Senate upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee will appoint 
a senator to serve as the chair of the Program Review Committee. The 
chair of the Program Review Committee shall be responsible for maintaining 
liaison, as appropriate, with the academic councils and with the Council 
on Educational Policy. 
II. 
This bill shall take effect immediately. 
RATIONALE: Since the time several years ago that the separate program review 
committees of the Graduate Academic Council and of the Undergraduate Academic 
Council were merged into the present Program Review Committee, the committee's 
lines of communication with the two "parent" councils have not operated well. 
Indeed, this committee must have a strong connection not only with the two 
academic councils but also with the Council on Educational Policy in situations 
where program reviews have implications for future program status.
