Approval of Minutes

distributed.
2.
President's Report
President Swygert introduced Vice President Hitchcock who stated that the
University at Albany College Bowl Team won the finals of the Upper New York
State/Eastern Canadian College Bowl regionals and advanced to the National
College Bowl Championships in April.
President Swygert noted that Carl Carlucci has joined the University at Albany as
Vice President for Finance and Business. He reported that Vice President Carlucci
has sent a memorandum to Deans, Cabinet members and the Senate Executive
Committee detailing the challenges and opportunities in the 1993-94 budget,
President Swygert reported. The University at Albany has tried to maintain fidelity
to the core of the University and has avoided retrenchment of teaching faculty over
the past three years, the President said. The Governor's 1993-94 Budget provides a
hope of stability. It will enable us to go forward with our planning principles and a
modest opportunity to begin a discussion of restoration in some areas. One of the
challenges that lies ahead is the quality of life issue, President Swygert said. EPC
will be soliciting comments from the faculty on this issue.
The President also reported on the new Presidential Scholars Initiative to attract top
students.
The University at Albany Capital Campaign has recognized $17.3 million as of
December 31, 1992, President Swygert reported. This is over half of the first target
goal of $25 million by December 31, 1994. This amount is due in part to our
increased alumni support. In addition, Key Bank has contributed $350,000 to the
Capital Campaign for the CESTM building.
President Swygert thanked the Senators for their letters to the Governor and the
Legislative leadership concerning the budget. The two most important issues are
the need to continue to recruit and retain faculty and the challenges that confront us
to maintain class size. He also noted that a Task Force on Recruitment and
Retention of minority group students, chaired by Professor Shirley Jones, is in place.
President Swygert reported on a luncheon to continue a dialogue with student
leadership on the issue of race relations on campus. We should be proactive and
keep ahead of these issues, the President said.
Finally, President Swygert reported that last semester 405 undergraduate students
took advantage of the Emergency Loan Program. All of the loans borrowed last
semester ($80,000) have been repaid or arrangement have been made for payment.
This semester 471 undergraduate students have applied for the Emergency Loan
Program (for a total of $93,000).

General Education program cannot be imposed on our continuing students, he said.
Senator Reed expressed his concern that implementation of Senate Bills not be
included in the appendix. The implementation must be clear and in place before
any old programs are discarded, he said. Dean Kim and Vice President Hitchcock
assured Senator Reed that even though this is a tough transition period a fine
General Education program will be in place in September 1993.

New Business
a.
Senate Bill No. 9293-0SR: Revision of Student Senator Elections. Chair
Brannon noted that this Bill has been moved and seconded by the Executive
Committee.
Senator Bosco noted that the Committee on Nominations and Elections (CONE)
referred this Bill to the Executive Committee. A proposal was sent to CONE
requesting restoration of the language and procedures in student elections. The
current student election procedure prohibits some students from participating in
Senate activities. The Executive Committee received the proposal from CONE and
set up an ad hoc committee to consider it, he said. This Bill is a result of the ad hoc
committee. Chair Brannon noted that if approved, the Bill will go to the faculty for
approval at the General Faculty Meeting in May 1993.
The Bill was carried with one abstention.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m.

UNIVERSITY SENATE
UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY
STATE UNIVERSITY ATNEWYORK
Introduced by:
Senate Executive Committee
Date:
February 8, 1993
Revision of Student Senator Elections
IT IS HEREBY PROPOSED THAT THE FOLLOWING REVISION TO THE
FACULTY BY-LAWS BE ADOPTED:
I.
Section 2, Paragraph 2.6: Fourteen undergraduate student senators shall be
nominated and elected through the election mechanism of the Student Association.
The one graduate student senator shall be elected annually by the separate schools
or colleges on a rotating basis in alphabetical order. No person elected to the
Senate from the student body will be permitted to occupy the position of senator
while on academic probation.
II.
This Bill will take effect Spring 1994 for the 1994-95 University Senate student
elections.
III.
That this Bill be forwarded to the general faculty and President for approval and
implementation.
RATIONALE:
Currently undergraduate student senators are elected by schools and colleges based
on the number of first declared majors as of the end of the drop/add period of the
spring semester. Rockefeller College and undeclared majors constitute separate
schools. The revision returns to the practice of electing undergraduate student
senators by their residence location which allows for more student participation in
the University Senate. There is no change in the number of undergraduate student
senators. There is no change for the election of the graduate student senator.
BACKGROUND:
Printed below is the wording from the 1992 Faculty Handbook (to be deleted) and
the previous wording from the 1989-1990 Faculty Handbook (the proposed revision). It is
noted that in 1989-90 the By-Laws amendments reduced the number of elected and ex
officio senators by approximately one-third.
1992 Faculty Handbook
Section 2 - Composition of the Senate
2.6
There shall be 14 undergraduate senators elected annually through the election
mechanism of the Student Association. These shall be allocated to the schools and
colleges based on the number of first declared majors as of the end of the drop/ add
period of the spring semester. For purposes of Senate representation, Rockefeller
College and undeclared majors shall constitute separate schools; however, each
school or college shall have at least one senator. The one graduate student senator
shall be elected annually by the separate schools or colleges on a rotating basis in
alphabetical order. No person elected to the Senate from the student body will be
permitted to serve as a senator while on academic probation.
1989-1990 Faculty Handbook
Section 2- Composition of the Senate
2.6
Twenty-one undergraduate senators shall be nominated and elected through the
election mechanism of the Student Association. Three graduate student senators
shall be chosen in a fashion deemed appropriate by the Senate. No person elected
to the Senate from the student body will be permitted to occupy the position of
senator while on academic probation.

REPORT OF UNIVERSITY FACULTY SENATE MEETING
JANUARY 29-30, 1993
STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND FORESTRY
SYRACUSE, NEW YORK
1.
Budget Presentation by Associate Provost Bill Anslow
Copies of supporting documents are found in Appendix A.
2.
Remarks by Assemblyman Edward Sullivan, Chair Assembly Higher Education
Committee
Assemblyman Sullivan emphasized the following points:
2.1 New York State has made a commitment to support private higher education.
1
2.2 Reduction in support for private higher education will not increase funding support
for public institutions.
2.3 SUNY must go beyond access and excellence to generate pride in SUNY by the
citizens of the state. This support will be critical when tough times come again in the future.
2.4 Some of the new forces that impact on higher education are: the non-traditional
student, growth in size of student body, growing irreverence to authority by students,
communications revolution, international education, future economy of the state, community
college dilemma of increasing shift from associate degree to bachelors degree goal by
students.
2.5 The governor's budget does not deal with any of these forces.
2.6 During the question period, Assemblyman Sullivan stated he was in favor on no
tuition in SUNY and that he was opposed to differential tuition. He also condemned the
scandal of student loans that place a heavy debt burden on poorer students for many years of
their working lives.
Finally, he strongly urged the faculty to join forces with other constituents as a team
to lobby the legislature for more support for SUNY. The faculty should know their local
legislators on a first-name basis and visit their offices regularly throughout the year.
3.
Chancellor Johnstone's Remarks on Learning Productivity
The Chancellor stated the current problems in higher education are caused by:
financial strains that lead to a decline in quality and accessibility and the inability to respond
to expanding enrollments; financial burdens on students and their families; students from high
schools are insufficiently prepared; inadequate teaching/learning in college resulting in
redundancy, disruption and wasted time.
He identified the following basic assumptions on learning productivity: there must be
productivity advances; significant productivity advances lie not in increased workloads of
faculty and staff; significant and sustainable productivity advances must look to the learner;
students can learn far more in any time span than they currently do; learning should be
individually paced for mastery - the time to mastery should be variable; potential of individual
self-paced learning has been greatly enhanced in recent years through technology; excess1ve
curriculum experimentation, program interruption,"drift" in undergraduate experience is costly
to institutions, students and their families; advanced professional and graduate education can
begin and end at an earlier point for most students ... also cost less to both institutions and
students; cost to student-and family should be vi-ewed as the present value of cost to tlte ft11al

that shortens time to final degree and entry into the adult work force.

·*'
The Chancellor identified the following key elements of learning productivity:
-Increased college-level learning during high school years at all ability levels
-Give priority to students' needs for appropriate courses at appropriate times...
(
)
curriculum, schedules, faculty teaching assignments
-Stipulate "learning outcomes" for mastery of each course
-Maximize individualized self-paced instruction - perhaps with some technology - and
move on after mastery to next course
-Implement year-round learning
-Redesign faculty workload expectations and incentives
-Redesign need analysis and financial aid ... lessen disincentives to year-round study
and heavier learning loads
-Encourage earlier entry into graduate and advanced professional programs
-The Chancellor warned that if we continue to do what we have been doing, it will

Sharing of Concerns of University Centers
At every meeting of the University Faculty Senate, one session is devoted to an
informal discussion of issues by senators by campus type. The University Center senators
identified the following concerns:
4.1 GRI funding. The governor's budget provides for $10 million for capital projects.
There is no break-down for undergraduate/graduate allocation or mention of source for
matching funds. All senators urged that additional money be provided for programs and
additional personnel.
4.2 Graduate student unionization. This development is of great concern to faculty.
The separation of academic issues and terms and conditions of employment need to be kept
(
'
separate, though at times the distinctions blur.
4.3 SUTRA proposal. Concern was expressed over the lack of specificity of this
proposal to allow campuses to retain tuition for students admitted above enrollment targets.
Some of the key questions raised were: Does enrollment include both undergraduate and
graduate students, will benchmarks be adjusted to reward and punish the performance of
campuses, impact of increased enrollment on quality of students, impact of increased
enrollment on campus resources which are already stretched to the limit. In response to this
concern, The Chancellor said this program will be small, symbolic, and not include all
campuses.
4.4 TAll reductions. The greatest concern of University Center senators was the
proposed termination of TAP awards for graduate students in fall 1993. This reduction will
have a serious negative impact on minority graduate students. Further, the increased demand
for tuition scholarships will affect all graduate students. Finally, concern was expressed that
priority will be given to doctoral students resulting in less support for masters students. See
Appendix B for copy of TAP data.
4.5 New programs. Some senators reported that it is becoming difficult to init1ate new
academic programs without support from external funding. This denial of support from the
operating budget for new programs will have a chilling effect on faculty creativity in
addressing the critical need for curriculum reform and innovation.
4.6 Utility costs. University senators commented on the negative impact of clos1ng
campuses over part of the December/January break to save on utility costs. Typically, 2 to 4
(
weeks of productivity are lost each year on research projects and scholarly activity.
· ..
5.
Internet and Multimedia Presentations
Several members of the Operations Committee demonstrated the operation of the
Internet and made a presentation on the use of multi-media software programs in instruction.
6.
Campus Names
The omission of any reference to the State University of New York or variations in
official names was introduced by the campus at Cortland as a source of confusion within and
without SUNY. The Chancellor has developed a policy on this issue and communicated this
policy to campus presidents.
7.
SCAP
The Student Computing Access Program provides funds from tuition to support
instructional computing for students.
A recent study by the Operations Committee revealed
that on 50% of the state-operated campuses, there was no involvement of faculty in the
allocation of funds for this program. In response to a resolution to the Chancellor on this
matter, the Chancellor indicated he informed campus presidents of the cQncerns Qf _th_e _ _
University Faculty Senate. The Council of Presidents agreed in principle to support faculty
involvement in SCAP proposals.
8.
Evaluation of Campus Presidents
The senator from Plattsburgh reported the concern of his faculty with the short time
period of 5 weeks to participate in the Presidential Review on his campus. The exclusion of
the use of "surveys,questionnaires, or referenda" was also cited as a serious limitation on
faculty input. The experiences on other campuses ranged from complete satisfaction with the
present process to complete dissatisfaction. Lacking any clear consensus on this issue, the
matter was referred to the Governance Committee for further study.
9.
Resolutions Passed by University Faculty Senate
9.1 The Senate recommends to the Chancellor that the President of the University
Faculty Senate or designee interact with central administration during the budget preparation
process.
9.2 The University Faculty Senate supports the decision of the Chancellor and the
Board of Trustees to adopt the recommendations set forth in the Final Report of the
university-wide Task Force on Public Safety as amended.
9.3 The University Faculty Senate grant parliamentary privileges (without voting
rights) to officially recognized observers.
9.4 The University Faculty Senate endorses the principle that all doctoral students
should have preparation and experience in the teaching of their disciplines. To advance this
principle, the University Faculty Senate encourages the State University of New York to
develop plans for implementing training or preparation for teaching as a requirement for the
doctoral degree.
3
9.5 The University Faculty Senate encourages and supports the development of
graduate degree programs, existing or new, that make use of existing facilities by
establishment of appropriate cooperative relationships between campuses which grant doctoral
degrees and those which do not.

Governor's 1993 Budget Proposal
Student Financial Aid Programs
1.
Graduate TAP Phase Out.
No awards will be made to students who would otherwise have been first-time
graduate TAP recipients in 1993-94. Current State-wide TAP expenditures for
graduate students are about $11 million (12,000 FTE recipients). This phase out
is expected to save about $5 million, half of that amount would come from SUNY
(about 4,600 total FTE recipients), mostly at the University Centers.
Graduate tuition waivers and minority fellowships would be affected because TAP
offsets part of the cost of these programs.
2.
Undergraduate TAP Phase Down.
First time undergraduate TAP recipients in 1993Q94 who are dependent (or
independent with dependents of their own) would be eligible for lower TAP awards
than 1992-93 first-time TAP recipients. The maximum award would be reduced by
$200 from $3,650 to $3,450. The maximum award at SUNY, however, would
remain at the same level as tuition, $2,650. The minimum award would remain at
(l
$100 but at SUNY would begin at an income of about $27,500 of New York net
(
)
taxable income (NTI) instead of the current $30,000 NTI.
TAP recipients from families with NTI incomes between $7,500 and $27,500 will
experience award reductions ranging from $0 to about $600.

expansion of enrollment above budgeted levels
• Permanent change in SUNY's fiscal year (and several technical changes)
• New York State Comptrorler's office has agreed to enhanced campus management
• Purchasing authorization (without pre-approval) on goods and materials increased from
$20,000 to $50,000 .
