Presiden~~Re~9~~
2 .1 The President repo1•ted that he had conveyed to the Chancellor's Office,
as an action of the Senate as the official policy-making body of the
University, the physical education bill approved last spring. Vice
Chancellor Dearing has placed the bill on the a.genda for the next
meeting of the Board of Trustees. The Board will decide whether or
not to honor the vote to waive the requirement.
Until the Board votes,
the present -requiTement is in effect .
2.2 The effect of the Master Plan on the University Centers was discussed
at a meeting with the Presidents of the four Centers and the Chancellor.
The theme of the discussion was that the University Centers have an
explicit mission to lead research and advanced professional studies in
the University as well as to provide undergraduate and graduate
education. The Chancellor specified that the proposed new University ..
wide res.earch centers will be attached to University Centers rather
than to four-year or community college units.
He a.lso stated that a
requirement that graduates of community colleges be granted admission
in some four-year unit of the University system should not be consid-
ered as a. guarantee that any one student has a. claim for admission on
any one institution.
2. 3 M.r. Beneze·b reported that the Chancellor said he did not think that the
quota of 60% for the total number of full and associate professors on
a faculty should necessarily apply·to units of specialized nature such
as a University Center.
The quota could be interpreted as a University-
wide quota.

Chairman 's _ R~o!!,
3.1 The Chairman repor·ted that the amendment to the Faculty By·laws making
the past Chairman of the Senate an ex officio member of the Sena.te and
the Executive Committee, passed by the Senate last spring, was approved
by the Faculty on August 29.
Arthur Collins, pa.st Chairman of the
Senate, was named to the Council on Educational Policy last spring and
subsequently e'lected Chairman of that Council.
The Council has requested
that Senator Collins be allowed to continue serving on the Council on
Educational Policy.
Senator E. Cobane moved that the Senate approved a
motion to allow Sena.tor Collins to serve on both the Executive Committee
and the Council on Eeucations,l Policy.
lv'Iotion seconded and approved.
3.2 Cha.irma.n Chi noted that there is a problem rega.rdj.ng Graduate Student
representation on the Senate and its Councils.
The Gradua.te Student
Association has not been organized this year and has no visible leader~
ship. Senator Salkever suggested tha.t the elect :ton of Grad.ua.te Student
Senators could be delegated to the various schools.
3.3 The Chairman reported that the Tower Tribune ha.s expanded to four pa.ges
this semester.
One pa.ge of each issue will be devoted to the Senate
and its Councils.
The secretar:l.es of the various Councils will be
requested to provide information on actions t~en by the Councils as
well a.s pending items to the person selected to report for the Tower
Tribune.

5.2 Several Senators spoke against the motion citing the early start of
the fall semester, the lack of a. break between classes and examinations
in the fall semester, and the fact that although the academic yea.r
begins much earlier than customary, classes do not end until the middle
of May as reasons to vote against the proposed guidelines.

"Afternoon classes of days immediately preceding holidays and morning
classes on days immediately following holidays be suspended." The
motion was seconded and defeated by ma.jori ty vote.

Sept~er 5, 1972
Benezet and Vice President Sirotkin and tabled Bills Nos. 197172-23, 197172·33,
and 197172"38 were received from the 1971-1972 Executive Committee.
Two
recommendations in the report, that the reconstituted Council handle only
promotions, not continuing appointments and that the main part of the evalu-
ative process be handled by the individual's peers, came in for particular
discussion.
It was decided to table further discussion of the matter until the next
meeting of the Committee and to invite to that meeting members of the
Study Group and of the 1971 .. 1972 Council.
i
3. A report from Sandi Lutti, a student, recommending changes in pre-registration
procedure was rece:l. ved and discussed.
Doubt was expressed whether the changes
reconunended would result in any subste..ntial improvement. It was determined
that the report and the ent:l.re pre-registration procedure be referred to the
Council on Educational Policy for study and recommendations.
~
312 d-.911.
.1. The matter of item (2) above was again taken up. Present as guests were
Harold Cannon, Webb Fiser, Violet Larney and John Rosenbach, Mr. Cannon
as past chairman of the Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointments,
and ·the latter three as members of the Study Group. A new factor raised
by the President was the possibility that SUNY-Central would fix guidelines
for maximum percentages of faculty at full and associate rank. He indicated
that the presidents of the University Centers and of the specialized colleges
and medical centers were together in expressing concern about the implications
of such a move.
After much discussion on this and other points, the matter
was tabled until the next meeting.
2. The Commit't;ee approved a motion to bring before the Faculty a proposed change
in the Faculty :sy .. laws for action at the Faculty Meeting on August 29.
~st 231 •. 1m
1. The matter of' item (l) above was taken up again. A consensus evolved tuoong
- - - -those preseirf that the -primary responsibill ty. for recommerida.tions- i.nvo1ving-
profess:tonal judgements should lie within the departments, while those
involving assess~ent of priorities should be the concern of the College
Committees and University Council. The latter bodies should trore vigorously
than before insure that procedure is correctly followed at every level,
especially insuring that meaningful student input is present in the depart-
mental decision. It was decided to invite Vice Pl•esident Sirotkin to the
next meeting and to table :f'urther d1.scussion, with the understanding that
a sub-committee would summarize the position evolved so far and begin the
drafting of a bill for eventual appearance on the Senate floor.

'Be it resolved that the Council request the Executive Committee to

... The Committee gave general consideration to various aalendar fo:rmte,
including q~r system, 4-1-41 and trimester. The 1969 Report of the Task Foree
on tbe Academic Calendar gave considerable discussion to these patterns When it
reeo~ded ou.r c~t early semester sys·tE>,m,.1 It was the op:Ln:J.on of ow comm:L ttee
after full discussion of the quarter and t:M..mester systems, that a basic ohe..'oge in
pattern should not be made at this time. This opixrl.on also reflects the knowledge
that the Chancellor has establiShed a panel to study the possibil:i:by of a statewide
cal.E'..ndar pattern.

However, most SUNY,A campus groups (eg. Housing~ Food Service, Intercollegiate sports)
:report that given sufficient n6tice 1 they can make arrangements for the scheduling ·
'
of their events and/or the staffing of their services. In order to serve the va.cying
needs of these . camp"US groups 1 the calendar must be available as far ahead as is
practicable.
9.
Although the charge to the committee inclUded mention of a possible referenda, it
was our opinion that to do so would not be of assistance at this time. Such referenda,
in order to be valid, would require that those participating have knowledge of calendar
patterns and operational restr:i.ctions. Since we .could not undertake such an educationa.l i'IJ
i
1i
process, no widespread referenda were undertaken.
We did, however 1 complete several
'\:\
other types of surveys. A. questionna:i.re was published in the ~
.. ~
and the

~~.;
We did pot receive :many responses, which to some extent
j

indicated no strong pattern of interest in the matter and a sup:rising number of those

reaponding fa.vored the current pattern. Theodore Fossieck,a member of this committee
conducted a survey of 118 students registered in an educational psychology course
and 97 of these students indicated a pr~_f_e!'el!~ _fqr __ an ~a;-ly Se:lll~S_ter_ ~ystem._ In ___ _
addition1 Robert Gibson met with the Central Council of the Student Association to
explain the proposed recommendations o£ the committee. A poll of that group showed
18 in favor and. 2 against the early semester system as proposed.
10. The committee's recommendations do not effect the S'UUli'Jler Session at .Albany. The
early semester calendar does not reduce the fUll use of the summer and a student can
ea:nl the equivalent of a .full semester's credit. The starting date tor the lll'I.Ullm.er
should recognize that many people attending this session have committmenta that continue
until late June.

2.1 The Chairman introduced the parliamentarian, Joseph Ranalli.
2.2 Several new Senators were introduced: Gershon Collier (Afro-American

Allan Spivak,
2.3 The Chairman read a memorandum :f'rom Dean Brown regarding the meeting
held on September 28 with the graduate s·budents.
There was general
agreement among those present at the meeting that the current con-
stitution of the Graduate Student Assoc~tion needs revision. A sub"
committee will draft a new constitution :f'or considerat:i.on by the
graduate studen·bs.
There was strong feeling on the part of those
students present that representation to the Gradua:be Student Associe.tion
Executive Board should be on a depa.rtme:rrtru. ba.sis rather than on a
school or college basis.
2.4 The Chairman reported that the academia calendar should be presented
to the Senate at the November meeting.

"I • Tl:iat the Senate urge Dr, :Bene~et to establish an ad hoc·
Cqmmittee on Students' Bills. This cobmittee should include
among its members:
I
"1~
:Re:r>resen~atives of adm:tnist:t'ative officers involved
in the bi.ll:l.ng process.
"2. Representatives of persons who administer monies
collected through the bill,
"3. Other appropriate financial aid and student affairs
office;t:'s.
"4. Other students at large.
"This Committee should look a.t the due dates of bills and
parameters involved therein. This Committee should report
out by November 15, 1972.
"II • That the Senate suggests some potential parameters like:
"1, That at least four weeks be allowed between the
mailing date and due date of a bill.
"2. That the Regents' Scholarship and Examination Center
be consulted so that at least 75% of all students have
their award letters two weeks before the due date of
their bill.
"III, That this Bill take effect immediately."
The motion was seconded by Senator ~·
Senator Lampert moved to refer the Bill to the Student Affairs

6.1 Senator Lampert moved:
October 2, 1972
"I. That Section 1; part 1.1 (Composition) of Senate Bill No.
197172-26 is hereb~ amended by deleting 'The Dean of
Undergraduate Studies, ex officio' , from tha.t part.
"II. That this Bill shall take effect immediately_!!
Motion seconded by Senator Stokem.
6.2 Senator Lampert read a letter he had written to the Chairman s·bating
the reasons for the introduction of the bill. The principal rea.sons,
according to Senator Lampert, were: rirst, the involvement of the
Undergradua.te Academic Council has delayed the date of the opinion
poll to such an extent that a decision on grading will likely be
delayed for another aca.demic year; second, the Council is considering
a random sampling of attitudes about grading, not an opinion poll;
third, the attempt of some members of the academic administration
to exert undue influence over the Undergraduate Academic Council.
Several Senators spoke against the motion, questioning that one
member of a Council could influence the whole Council to such an
extent.
6.3 Senator Wright moved that the By-laws not be amended by deleting the
Dean of. Undergraduate Studies from the membership of the Council.
The~~apnmt:ax.i:af.l. ruled th:i.s motion out of order.

The motion to substitute approved without dissent.
6.6 Senator Sherman moved to amend Senator Collins' motion by directing
the Executive Committee to include the following grading proposals

Graduate Student Representation
3.
4.
---
The status of the Graduate Student Association and the general issue of
graduate student representation on the Senate and its Councils was discussed.
At the present, the Association has no visible leadership.
A general mee·ting
for all graduate students has been called for September 28 by Dean Brown.
Depending on the interest shown at this meeting, :i.t may be necessary to
explore :i.n more detail the future of the Association, and alternate methods
of providing Senate and Council representation.
One such scheme that has
been suggested is to delegate the Sena.torial selection process to the
various schools and colleges, a.nd draw names for Council appointments from
a list of interested graduate students. The outcome of the open meeting
described earlier will be reported at the next Senate meeting.
The question of the future role of the Council on Promotions and Continuing
· -Appointments -was- again -taken--up-.- --Th-e subcommittee -appointe-d-at-tne-la.st -
meeting to draft a bill for Senate action is still at work; completion is
expected at an early date.
P~;rldng
A number of issues relating to parking were called to the attention of the
Committee.
The Committee declined to enter into any extensive discussion
on them since they have been referred to the University Community Council.
5.
Grievances
An issue discussed a.t some length was that of grievances against alleged
violations involving by-laws of individual SUNY units. In that the Public
Employment Rela.tions Board has ruled that such violations are not grievable
under the terms of the current SPA contract because of the recent ruling
by the Boa.rd of Trustees in which they declined to approve such by~la.ws, it
was felt tha.t other means ma.y need to be developed to deal with such
problems locally. The Committee resolved to remain alert to such situations
a.s they ma.y arise and take whatever actions a.re necessary.

The normal teaching workload is nine.credit hours of under~

It cannot be assumed that every course carries equal weight.

number of preparations, the availability of graduate
.
Assistants, teaching materials and aids, the fnculty'G
sponsorship of theses nnd dissertations as \vell as the
supervision of independent study, and necessary development
and innovation in the course should be taken into account in
determining teaching workload.

THE
UN~VERSITY SENATE
FROM
UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC COUNCIL
November 6, 1972
The Undergraduate Academic Council, following its meetings of
October 17 and 24, reports the follm·ling:
l. The Council supports the proposition in the Ell:i.nwc;wd
M~morandum for necessary and sufficient time for the grading
of final examinations.
This opinion was forwarded to the
educational Policies Council, as suggested.
2.
In considering the three alternatives to undergraduate grading
as presented in the opinion poll currently before university
faculty and ~tudents, Council agreed that the present system
of undorgra<;luate grading, Bill /136 (unamended), and the
Ell.inwood Amendment were inadequate,
Specifically, in regard
to the EHim.;rood Amendment, Council concerns were as follows:
a.
That the proposed amendment would not permH a. student
to use S/U graded courses to fulfill major and secol"\d
field requirements, if nnd when the student changed to
a major or a second fie.ld which might include courses
previously graded S/U;
b,
That the proposed amendment does not assert the right and
responsibility of departmental faculty for A-E grading
in courses or sections as is proposed for S/U grading;
c,
That the proposvd nmcndment, if imph'ment:ed ~.would require
addit:ion<d faculty time for record keeping because of the
preicription of a maximum of 30 hours of S/U courses and
of the prescription that such courses shall not be in the
major or second field;
d.
That the amendment includes A-E grading 'as nonnative~ to
which some members of the Council object; and
e,
That the proposal includ~s S/U grading to ~,rhich some members
of the Council object.

Council has met four times (August 30, September 13, October 6 and October 20).
The Council's membership and the membership of its committees is not complete at
this time due to the lack of appointed student members.
However, the Council has
organized itself on an interim basis until these members are named.
The Council com-
mittees have met and are proceeding with the business delegated to them by the Council.
In the past four meetings the Council has taken the following actions:

ItalY. and to substitute this study for course work noi~lly completed at
the University of Rome to be counted toward the M.A. in Italian during
the fall of 1972.

their respective faculties for award of the doctorate and that fifty-one
(51) students be formally admitted to "doctoral candidacy".

Dr. Jerold Zuckerman, Director of Research, has reported that a fund for
"venture capital" has been esta.blished for the current fiscal year. It will
be managed by the Office of Research. The monies will be used primarily to
support activities aimed a.t bringing in grants to support new resea.rch
projects on the SUNYA campus.
III. Administra.tion of Grants at SUNYA
.
--
Mr. Fra.nk Luca.relli a.nd Ms • Barbara Murphy, of the Office for Research,
presented the Council with information concerning the administration of
research grants.
1. NSF Funds for Science
2. NSF Cost of Education
Funds
Awarded to the university on the basis
of the total amount of gra.nts received
from federal sources excluding NIH.
Awarded on the basis of the number of NSF
Fellowships and Traineeships held by SUNYA
graduate students (only one this year).
3.
NDEA Cost of Education --
Awarded on the basis of the number of
Funds
NDEA gra.dua.te fellows on campus •
4. Bio-Medical Sciences
Support Grant
Based on the total amount of grants
received from N"lH.
Approximately $125,000 is available for distribution this year.
Council on Research~-contd.
-... --~~-----
-
Two committees, one to handle NSF and NDEA funds and another to handle Bio-
Medical Support funds, will be established to set policy for the distribution
of institutional funds.
The commi·titee to deal with NSF and NDEA funds will
have ten facul'l:;y members representing the humanities, sciences and social
sciences. A member from each department which has received an NIH gra.nt(s)
will sit on the Bio-Medical Support Funds committee.
No deadline dates will
be set this year for the submittal of research proposals to be supported by
institutional funds.
Three offices have responsibilities in the administration of research gra.nts.
The Research Founda.tion Central Office is responsible for the total university
system. Its staff of 250 handles about 50 million dollars in grants. The
Office of Sponsored Funds (a branch office of Research Foundation) is
responsible for the day-to-day administration of grants on this campus. It
has a staff of six. The Office for Research at SUNYA has a director and two
grant coordinators. This office assists the faculty in preparing research
proposals and is responsible for seeking sources of new funds for research.
Ms. Murphy covered the topic of indirect costs. The established overhead
rates for federal grants to SUNYA are 50.4% of salaries and wages for on-
campus projects and 35.5% for off-campus projects. For training projects
the rate is 8% of total direct costs.
No overhead is charged for develop-
ment grants.
Some private foundations use the federal rates. Others will
set their own and some will no·b pay overhead. overhead rates for federal
grants vary from campus to campus in the SJNY system.
The overhead fund for the total SUNY system totalled $7,265,000 for the
period July 1971 through June 1972.
Of this total, 2.9 million was used
for the operation of the Central Office of the SUNY Research Foundation
and its Washington off1.ce ($164,526).
The OR5 allocation, money returned
__ tQ__jjhe_ calYipU~§__fo~ jihe a<ill'li!l-iEI~~·'t:;_ion of research, was 2 .1 million. The
OR6 allocation covers the Chancellor'S -F-uncfandthe Universfty.AwarasFund-.------
For 1971-1972, the amount allocated was $1,047,000 of which $750,000 went
to the University A'I-V'ards program.
Programs sponsored by the Board of'
Directors received an allocation of $345,000. In 1971-1972, $600,000 was
returned to the State of New York.
An amount of $27,800 was used to cover
payment of items that were not legally expended through grants.

I. Preface
Criticisms of the present system of' tenure and promotion are
based on the arguments that colleagues of a .candidate in his own depart~
ment can better evaluate the que.li ty of his work than can a Council
composed of people from different disciplines • A :f'urthe:r ugument is
that the university has "matured" enough so tl'J.at there no longer needs to
be p:ress\U.'e on most of the. departments to raise their standards. As a
result of this criticism some want to abolish the Council an Promotions
a:nd Continuing Appointments. There are others Who want to maintain the
procedUre as it now exists because d~artmental decisions are sometimes
clouded by personal biases • Rather than co:mmi t ourselves to one of' these
positions or the other, we proposed to start from the position that there
are several criteria to be considered and that a program can be de'V'eloped
which best satisfies these criteria.
There a.re several cri terie. to be . considered when plaaming the
promotion and tenure procedure:
(1) the right of the candidate to have
a fair hearing by his peers, due process, and appeal to a more broadly
representative body; (2) the concern of the department for a program
Which satisfies professional standards of the discipline; (3) the need
tor a process which benefits the university by maintaining a high standard
of selection; (4) the concern that the selection process not devalue good
teaching; and (5) that students have some input.
'l'hc.Uie a.re the major criteria. There are several other aspects
of t}le current ai tuation which Jll8y have some bearing on our suggested
plan. The Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointments is terribly
overworked and their decisions could be more carefu.ll.y made if' the number
of' eases coming to them could be cut.

20.1 Senator Alexuder JlY.)Ved acceptance of :Bill No. 197172 .. 36; motion
seconded by Senator S&turno.
Senator Alexander, speaking for the motion, stated that one of the
dif'ficulti~us with the present grading system. is the problem of'
mixed grading in coursea. He noted that if faculty are allowed to
decide bow a. section or course is to be graded and if students are
allowed individual choice as to how they Wish to be graded in a
pa.rticula.r section or course, f. t is apparently l'lOt possible to
satisfy both. This is one of the reasone the Council deo-ided on
a mandatory A-E grading system, except in those sections or
courses listed as s ... u in the Office of the Registrar at the
discretion of the department or school.
Chai.rllan Collins read, as a point of inf'ormation, a mtion
introduced by Steve Gerber in the Central Council proposing that
the Central Council urge the defeat ot Bill No. 197172-36 and
recommend that a referendum be held to determine student opinion
on the proposed grading system. This motion was pused by a vote
of 21 to 1 with three abstentions.
20.2 Senator Ellinwood moved to amend Part II, Section I as follows:
A.
Substitute "Beginning with the Fall Semester of
1972 the basic grading pattern tor all under-
graduate· courses shall be A .. E."
,c. Substitute the word "an" fo:r "on.J.y"
D. Add a section D to read:
"A student may register for s .. u grades in other
courses tip to a maximu.m of 30 hours of the 120
hou:t-s retuired for graduation. These courses
------ -- ----------shall ·not be-apPlied to-liijor_o_r second fields:~~----
Mbtion seconded b,y Senator Hardt.
20.3 Senator Stokem moved to postpone consideration of the Bill
in~efinitely. M:>tion seconded b,y Senators Cantor and Aiken.
Senator Stokem stated that by postponing action on the llill, it
would g1 ve the Senate and the Council time to determine 1tudent
opinion on a grading system.
20.4 Senator Kowalski moved to amend Senator Stokem • s mtion to read
that action on this measure be postponed until the first meeting
following a student referendum on this and other grading p:ropenl.s.
Motion seconded b,r Senator Gold.!M.n.
Senator Lampert pOinted out that in the Student Association the
results of a referen(hll\ _are legally binding on the centr&l Council
while the results of an· opinion poll are considered as student
feeling on a motion.
·
.I
In view of this s~n~tor Kowalski changed the wording of her amend·
ment to :read "a student opinion poll". This ws agreed to by the
seconder.
20.5 Senator cannon moved to cut ott debate on the entire matter within

The announcement of implementation of these honors gave r1.se to some
discussion o:f' the relation of the local awa.rds f'or teaching excellence
established earlier by the SUNY-Albany Senate. In recognition of the
shortage of' funds available this yea.r for the local prizes a.nd to make
these awards more commensurate with the Chancellor's awards, it wa.s
decided to submit a bill to the Senate amending the ea.rlier action
to eliminate reference to the dollar amount of the prize. A memorandum

describing the Chancellor's Awards and the Distinguished Teaching Professor-·
ship will be provided the Sena.te. It is to be noted that the nomina.tion
deadlines mentioned on pages l-2 in the memorandum have been changed to
May 1, 1973.
The nominating committee for the local a:wards shall serve as a nucleus for
the nominating committees for the Cha.ncellor' s Awards and the Distinguished
Teaching Professorship. Additional members will be named by the Executive
Committee.
3. The Governor• s Ta.sk Force on Fina.ncing Higher Education, of which the
President is a member, has requested student~faculty consultation on some
of the issues facing it. The Committee, at the request of the President,
suggested the names of some individuals that might serve on a discussion
group for this purpose.
4. Bill No. 197273-06, concerning the composition and duties of the Executive
Committee as described in Section II.5 of the Faculty By-laws, was received
from the Governance Commission and discussed. A number of changes were
suggested. For sake of clarity, it was decided that the Bill, as amended
by the Committee, would be presented to the Senate as Bill 6A, along with
the or:i.ginal B~.11 6. After passage by the Senate, the Bill will be sub ..
mitted for action to the Voting Faculty of the University.

1. Atter a lengthy discussion, the Council voted to approve the
folloWing resolution:
The Educational Policies Council recommends that the
process of allocating :faculty lines to departments (or
Malogous units) should invoive two ... way communication
between a department representative and the adnrl.nis""
trator who makes the allocation. This dialogue should
cover auch items as: (1) .departmental needs (including
student/faculty ratios and the distribution of rank
and continuing appointments); (2) the educational
priorities of the University; (3) the availability
ot lines; and (4) the quality of' the applicants ..
These factors and others should also be considered
by the faculty and students before making decisions .
. on term renewals, p:ro:.100tiona, and continuing
ap,Pointments.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY
REPORT
TO
THE
UNIVERSITY
SENATE
FROM
UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC COUNCIL
December 4, 1972
The Undergraduate Academic Council reports the following as a
result of the November 14, 1972 rn.eeting.
For information:
1.
Since Fall, 1969, the "Z" grade for S/U grading has been
counted in the cumulative average as a grade of "E".
During this period grades of "S" and "U" have not been
counted in the cumulative average.
Thereby, the student
with an administrative grade of "Z" has suffered a greater
penalty in the cumulative average than would have been the
case if he had a grade of "U".
Therefore, the Council
acted to omit "Z" grades earned in S/U graded courses in
the computation of cumulative averages.
This action is
retroactive to Fall, 1969.
2.
The Council acted on the matter of Spring, 1973 and Summer, 1973
grading for fr!3Shnlen and sophomore students.
The effect of this
action is to automatically continue each student on the same
,
grading (A-E or S/U) for Spring, 1973 as that student was graded
I
in Fall, 1972 unless the student requests, in writing, the
------- -----
-----opposite gra<ring -for Sprin--g;-1973.-Tlils proce<lure Ts-fOremain _________ l
in effect until a new grading policy is implemented.
Each student
with fewer than 56 degree credits has been so notified.
For action:
None

Since this Com1cU is a newJ.y ... consti tuted body, the large

We decided to invite questions, co~laints, and recommenda ...
t:Lons, ::from the community by means of an article iB the Tower Tribune.
Since this is the Council's first year, it was felt it was especially
important to publicize our existence. Barbara Rotundo agreed to

I. At the organizational meeting on October 4, 1972, Thomson Littlefield was
elected chail"IDM, and Ellen Tarpinian recording secretary.
II. The next two meetings ironed out c:ruestions on determining our mission.
Concerning the type of report we should prepare$ some points raised
were:
Grades - It was determined that procedures for grievances
on grades for graduate students are spelled out
in the graduate bulletin; procedures for under-
graduate grading grievances are established by
each school and college.
Our EositioE .. J:t was decided that we will not be a hearing
'
·
body to look into specific grievances, but
will issue a. general statement on professional
ethics and responsibility.. Grievances will be
handled prixnarily on the departmental level.
Administrative action - The committee raised the question of
feasible administrative action relative
to faculty neglect of an issue of pro•
:f'essional responsibility; the point
has not been cleared.
III. The Committee Will iBsue a general statement on professional ethics
and responsibility, to be derived :from a combination of the Council
on University Evaluation and Improvement paper on Procedures for
Student Grievances and the Michigan State univermity Code of Teaching
ResponsibUity. The statement was drafted, and •ome items were revised;
however, the final statement is not ready at this time. Ge:o:e:t"ally,
responsibilities of faculty as covered in our statement are: tq give
clear 8tatements of instructional. objectives, to inform students of'
grading components and attcmdance policies, · to professionally; evaluate
grades, to make themselves easily available for consultation with
students by ftstablish:tng regular office hours; and to seek end state
the truth as be sees it.

functioning as at present, but it· sought to clarif,y its lines of
authority. The two most noteworthy items are its powers to make
recommendations to the· Senate to replace members at the governance
structure who are simply not performing their duties, and the need of
the Executive Committee to seek retroactive approvaJ. for ac-tions
taken during emergencies.
The fqrmer was thought necessary by past experience, and
indeed the current Senate operates on this matter under guidelines
first proposed by the Executive Committee.
We thought such
authority should be clearly established in the byblaws. The need
for retroactive approval was thought desirable even when the
Executive Committee acts under its "urgency powers" in order to
remind that Committee that it will always be held accountable for
its actions "- the more important the act, the more the .Executive
. Committee should consciouszy seek to act on behalf of community's
interests.

Distinguished Teaching Professorships
and
State University Chancellor's Awards
for Excellence in Teaching
l.
The Need to Make Rewards for Superior Te<3:chin~ Avail~ble t,o.
the Total Faculty:. If the distinguished teaching professorship is to carry
the same prestige as university professorships, distinguished professor-
ships., or distinguished service professorships, it must be awarded only
rarely to persons who have demonstrated great competence over a period
of some years. For this reason, distinguished teaching professorships
will be beyond the reach of most faculty members. Many persons who are
fine teachers will be ineligible for distinguished teaching professorships
because they are new to college teaching. It would be unjust to the Univer-
sity's faculty not tq state that the great majority of its members have always
placed a first emphasis on teaching. Yet the great we~ght traditionally given
to scholarly and artistic production in the awarding of academic promotions
has forced some of them to divert a considerable proportion of their energies
~rom. the instructional function !lnd, as a consequence, they may be unable to
compete for a distinguished teaching professorship which requires years of
superb tPaching. To give such faculty members an opportunity to participatt:.:
meaningfully in the new emphasis on teaching, it ~ s proposed that an additi()nal
award for excellent teaching be created and placed in the reach of all instructors
be they old hands or new to the University, be they high or low in academic
... 2-
rank. It is suggested that these awards be called the State University Chan-
cellar's Awards .for Excellence in Teaching. The Distinguished'l.eaching
Professorships a;e discussed in Part I of this paper, the Chancellor's Awards
for Excellence in Teaching in Part II.
The usual criteria for promotion are skill in tea<...o.ing, sound scholar-
ship {usually translated as publications or artistic production), and service to
the. University. It is suggested that the Trustees strengt.l)en the new accent on
I
'
instruction by declaring that, for undergraduate teachers, the primary and
absolutely controlling criterion is successful teaching. Were this done, it would
enable faculty members to concentrate on teaching (including curricular reform)
without fear of losing promotions because .of limited publications or artistic
~ ~
production. Such a···resolution on the part of the Trustees would lend new mean-
ing to distinguished teaching professorships and awards for excellence in teaching.
2.
~imited ~o Undergraduate Teachers:. The provisions of this paper
pertain only to ·undergraduate teachers. Any faculty memb'er who regularly ·
teaches an undergracluate class each semester is considered an undergraduate
- - - - - -
teacher.
The Distinguished Teaching Professorship program is applicable only
at State-operated Campuses; specifically excluded are the Community Colleges
.
anti the colleges operated by Alfred and Cornell Universities. It is hoped that
.
.
· th~ campuses which cannot be included in this program because they are not
under State operation may develop a parallel program of rewarding superior
teaching.

Part I - The Distjnguished Teaching Professorship.
1.
_criteria. The following criteria are to l>e used in the selection
of persons to be recommended for distinguished teaching professorships:
a.
The candidate must' have attained the rank of associate
.
'
..........------
,), '•
professor or professor and must have completed at
;;-------- --, --
least t~e years ~-time teachin~ the campu~
..
that recommends the appointment.
b.
Ther~ must be positive evidenc.e that the candidate
.
.
;~
performs superbly in the classroom. He must main ..
tai.D a flexible instructional policy which adapts readily
to student needs, interests, and problems. He must
demonstrate ~aster,Y. of several teaching !ec~n;gues.
c.
The candidate must be a ~road .. gauged scholar who
________________ keeES abreast of his own field and who u_s_._e_s_th_e_r_e_._h_._~----------
vant contemporary data from his own field and related
disciplines in his teaching.
·.
d. . The candidate must serve willingly and ably as an
acader:p.ic advisor. In his relations with students
--
the candidate must be generous with his time and
easily accessible. He must demonstrate a continual
concern with the intellectual and social growth of
. .--
•
·--A··-
:individual students.
-4-
e.
The candidate must set high standa,rds for his students
and help them to attain academic excellence. He. must
.
require a quantity of work that is not less than average
----
for his subject. He must work actively with individual
students to help them improve their schola .. ·ly or artistic
techniques.
f.
The candidate's evaluation of student~s. work must be
strongly supported by evidence. He must be willing
to give much greater weight to each student's final
level of competence than to his performi.U.J.ce at the be-
ginnip.g of the course. Expert teachers enable students
to achieve high levels of scholarship. Consequently,
'
I
it is possible that the candidate's marking record may
be somewhat above the average of his colleagues. If
"it is, it should be supported by evidence. There must
also be evidence that the candidate does not hesitate
to give low evaluations to students who do poorly.
g.
No person may be recommended who has not regularly
carried a full teaching load both in terms of the number·
of semester hours taught and ln terms of the number of
students served.
'"·.
2.
Method of Selection for Recommendatio~: __ £an:J?u9 ~e~.:_!: The
Chancellor requires only· the procedures outlined in the enumerated items
.. 5 ...
which follow. However, it is suggested that classroom visits be made,
that some of the candidate's former students be interviewed, that persons
.
.
who_have served with him on campus committees be interviewed, and that
an examination be made of his marking patterns.
a.
There must be two separate nominat,ing co:r ... .~.m.ittees:
one composed entirely of undergraduate students, the
-
-
~r composed entirely 9.~aculty members. All
nominees must be considered by the Screening Committee .
.
b.
The Screening Committee must be made up of equal
-
.
-
c.
numbers of undergraduate students, instructional
m~_oL:tb.e~, and administrative officers.
'
'
The a;(iministrative members will be appointed by the
Campus President who will designate one of the ad ..
ministrators as the Committee Chairman. The Screen-
ing Committee shall make its report in the form of
recommendations to the Campvs President. A SuppOrt ..
-
---------;-;-;-;-----=~----..----.----------.--..--
ing File will be sent to the President with eacn recom ...
mendation. The names of nominees and the deliberations
of the Committee shall be confidential.
The Supporting File shall indicate that the candidate
meets the criteria listed in paragraph 1, Part I of
this paper. It shall also contain an evaluatio·n of ihe
candidate's teaching ability made by his Department
-6-
Chairman or, if there is no, Department Chairman,
by aJ.tother appropriate person responsible for the
supervision of his work.
d.
The Campus President shall forward to the Chan ...
cellor' s Office the Supporting File on all per.sons
recommended by the Screenit;lg qommittee, together
.
.
.: .
;, ''
with his own recommendation concerning each facul~y
me·mber under consideration*. The name.s of all
perso;qs recommended by the Screening Committee
'
.
shall~e kept confidential regardless of whether they

have br have not the endorsement of the Campus

President.
3.
~ethod of Selection:· Universit;y-wide Level. The Chancellor
will appoint an Advisory Committee on Distinguished Teaching Professorships.
The Advisory Committee shall review the Supporting Files and the recommendations
of the Campus President. The Advisory Committee will make its report to the
Chancellor in the form of recommendations for or against appointments. The
·chancellor will then make h.is recommendation 'to the Trustees who will make
·appointments. as they see fit and proper ..

There is no intention to establish a specific numl,er of dist:inguished teaching
professorships for each campus. However, the .stringent .nature of the selection
>:< For 1972 .. 3 one such recommendation may be forwarded to the Chancellor.
. '
-7-
process~ rather than enrollment, will provide the major l~mitation upon
the number of su,ch professorships. The final selections will be made after
UniversitY: .. wide competition. For this reason, it must be assumP-d that
the ratio of distinguished teaching professorships to FTE undergradmte
studen1s will vary from campus to campus. During the academic year 1972 ...
1973, each eligible campus is invited to recommend one nominee. In sub-
''o
sequent years, el~gible campuses may nominate faculty members they be ..
.
.
lieve qualified for tlistinguished teaching professorship (in accord with a
schedule to be announced).
5.
Time of Recommendation and A;epointmen! .. Recommendations
for distinguished teaching professorships must be received in the Chancellor's
Office not later· than February 1 of each academic year (197~ .. 3: December 15,
1972}. The ChanQellor will make his recommendation to the Trustees in time
for appointments t9 become effective September 1 of the following academic

year (1972-3: after February 1, 1973).
6.
The Nature of the Professorship. A distinguished teaching pro ..
ofessorship is a rank above the professorship. It is expected to have th'e same
. prestige as a university professorship, distinguished professorship or a
~istinguish~d service professorship. Such profesosors wUl be provided in-
.
" dividual offices and will be furnished supporting services on a level above
1,
that for other professors. The Campus catalogue will list distinguished
teaching rrofessors, distinguished professors, doistinguished s~rvice pro-
fessors and ·university professors separately at the head of th~ faculty list.
Such persons may be placed again in the faculty list but" if so, their rank
as distinguished teaching professors will be indicated.
!
i
I
j
... a-
Appointment to a distinguished prof~ssorship by the Trustees is
regarded as a promotion and will carry with it tenure in rank if it has not
already been attained and a salary increase of $2, 500 (in addition to any
negotiated general salary increase). Such increase will pe funded from the
campus budget through the normal process for funcl.ipg promotions. The in ..
crease is built into the salary base of the designee and must be provided for
;;, .,
in campus budgets of ensuing years.

7. · r.fhe ~?ctr:a?rdinary Responsibility of DistiB-![!:!ished 't~.¥lchfn[.
Professors. A di~tinguished teaching professor is expected to devote a con-
siderable proportion of his energy to curricular reform and to the improve .. ·
ment of instruction on his home campus. Over and above this campus re-
sponsiliility is a responsibility to the State University as a whole. During
each ten-month academic year each distinguished teaching professor is ex ..
pected to devote up to one full week in service of the University as a whole
on campuses other than his own. Such service may come at the request of
I
I
the Chancellor or a member of the Chancellor's staff or at the request of a

·Part li .. 'l'he State University Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Teach~~~ ..
1. ·Criteria. These awards are l:r)ade yearly to superior teachers
I
. who do not meet the requirements for a distinguished teaching professorship.
. I
It may be that the recipients of these awards have not attained the academic
ranl10: or length of service .required for appointment as a distinguished teaching
professor or that, although their teaching sldlls are excellent, they have not
'
reached the standard required for such an appointment. The criteria to be used
I
in tho selection of persons for a Chancellor's Award for Excellence in
•
Teaching are the same as those listed for distinguished teaching professors
in Part I, Paragraph 1, except that the first criterion (crito.rion a. ) is not
to be used. The elimination of this criterion is not intended to exclude
faculty members who meet it. Persons recommended for the award may
be of any aca:demic rank and must have completed only one year of full ... time
teaching on the recommending campus.
''•
2.
Number of Awards to be Granted. Eligible campuses may recom-
mend faculty members each year on a ratio to FTE undergraduate students
il1dicated for that year~ Campuses having fewer than the minimum FTE unde-r-
graduate students may make one nomination. The number of awards granted
,.
will be dependent upon funds available.
3.
Method of Selection, The' method for selection of award winners
will be the same as that for distinguished teaching professors as described
in items 2 and 3 of Part I. I:f it seems appropriate, a campus may set up
separate nominating committees and separate ~creening committees for
. Distinguished Teaching Professorships and fo~ Chancellor's Awards for Ex-
. cellence in Teaching. A Supporting File' must be established for ea c.h ·person
\.
recommended to the Campus President by the Screening Committee. The
Campus President will forward the Supporting l?iles to the Chancellor together
with his own recommendations by not later than February 1 (1972-3: January 1,
1973). The Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Distinguished Teaching Pro-
fesso-rships will also advise him concerning the Awards 1• The Cpancellor
1 For advlsc concerning ihe \Awards, the Auvisory Committee will be
augmented by appoil1tment of representation from the Community Colleges.

will announce the awards by May 15 ( 1972-3: March 1, 1973).
4.
The Nature of the Award. Persons who win ~n award will
.
receive recognition in the college catalogue by the addition of the phrase
"the State University Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, 1972·
1973
11 • When a faculty member wins the Award for more than one year, the
catalogue notation will indicate each year it was received. Each AwarQ. will
;, '•
I
carry with it. a sum of $500. A person winning the Award more than once
will receive $500 for each year in which the award is granted.
