UNIVERSITY SENATE CHAIR’S REPORT – CHRISTINE WAGNER, CHAIR
The Campus Advisory Committee regarding the new relationship between UAlbany and CNSE met with
Provost Phillips on 1/31/14 and 2/19/14. The Provost updated the committee on the activity of the SUNY
Implementation Team and the committee raised questions and ideas about the separation process.
A proposal to establish a Graduate Certificate Program in International Health and Human Rights has been
approve by GAC and is under review in UPPC.
The Senate Chair has received a proposal for a Faculty-Initiated Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Major in
Bio-Instrumentation. The proposal is under review in UAC and UPPC.
A Charter Amendment, introduced by GOV, has been forwarded by the SEC to the Senate. The Amendment
is distributed to the Senate with materials for the 3/10/14 meeting and will come for a vote at the 4/7/14
meeting in accordance with Faculty Bylaws Article IV.3.
Chair Wagner noted she had only a couple of items to add. The Senate had sent via e-mail with the meeting
materials a Charter Amendment to be voted on during the April 7th meeting. The By-Laws, she reminded,
stipulate that a Charter Amendment has to be distributed 3 weeks before the vote. It had now been officially
distributed. She also mentioned that a call for nominations for Senators at Large e-mail went out on March
4th. The subject may have said call for Faculty Senators at Large, but she clarified that it was a call for
Senators at Large for all categories, the Open and Professional. Chair Wagner asked that interested
individuals be encouraged to be nominated, as did Senate Vice-Chair Joette Stefl-Mabry. Past Chair Andi
Lyons, per the call for council service sent out that day, requested to tell people who might not be interested
in full Senate service to consider volunteering for councils and to fill out committees. Chair Wagner
reminded that every Senator must sit on a council, so new and continuing Senators might be interested in
filling out preferences for council service which would otherwise be assigned randomly.
OTHER REPORTS
UFS (University Faculty Senator’s Report) – Danielle Leonard, J. Philippe Abraham & John Schmidt, SUNY
Senators
166th Plenary Winter Meeting (Hosted by UAlbany) on January 23-25, 2014
Attended by UAlbany’s Philippe Abraham, Danielle Leonard, and John Schmidt
Outlined below are a few of the issues that were discussed at the Plenary that most impact UAlbany.
Teacher Educator Preparation Programs:
Neither the process nor the content of the Board of Trustees resolution on admissions standards for teacher
education programs are acceptable to the Faculty Senate. A data-driven examination of the relationship
between grades and teacher effectiveness will be on the agenda of a Provost’s Advisory Committee on
Teacher Education. The implications of the edTPA initiative (the new exam for graduating education majors
before they can be certified to teach) on students and our curriculum are also among the UFS’ concerns.
There are two issues. This year’s graduating class must take the edTPA even though the curriculum has not
yet been adjusted to cover the things tested. Only two states (Wash and NY) have adopted edTPA and NY
has set a much higher score to pass, such that 40% failed in the fall. Second, the criteria were set without
input from SUNY Schools of Education. UUP is engaging this issue, and UUP’s VP for Academics, Jamie
Dangler, presented UUP’s seven-point action plan to press for changes in the edTPA at the Plenary.
Start Up New York:
Campuses have now submitted their campus plans for Start UP New York. As important as the review of the
initial plans is, the review of specific business proposals is perhaps more important. The role of campus
governance in determining if companies sufficiently meet the academic mission requirement is not clear and
is of great concern to the UFS. The following guidelines were sent to campuses from System:
Selection Process and Qualification of Businesses:
Accepting Businesses Applications
Solicit and accept business applications with assistance of local REDC, municipality, county or other
clearly defined stakeholders.
START -UP NY Campus Advisory Committee
Establish a START-UP NY Advisory Committee, with membership including appropriate senior
administrative officers, faculty, and student representatives. Consider inclusion of external members as
well. Describe how members of committee will be chosen. The committee should provide a broad
campus perspective, and include representatives who can ensure the business proposal aligns with the
campus’s academic mission.
Criteria
Define specific criteria for how business will be chosen. The criteria may include some or all of the
following:
Academic and Research Alignment
•
Is the business in an industry aligned with current and/or developing University research, scholarly,
and creative activity?
•
Does the business provide experiential learning and workforce opportunities (e.g., internships,
fellowships, full-time jobs) for students and graduates?
•
Does the business provide areas for partnership and advancement for faculty and students?
•
Will the business provide access to research instrumentation, tools, and/or equipment necessary to
advance the academic and research mission?
•
Will the business fund scholarships, campus facilities or other academic services or amenities?
•
Will the business and/or its employees contribute to instruction or provide student mentoring?
•
Does the business offer the use of company resources, intellectual property or expertise to support the
academic mission?
Open SUNY:
The Chancellor “officially” launched the Open SUNY initiative at the State of the University address on
January 14. She identified 8 programs from 6 campuses as “Open SUNY +” degrees that will pilot
centralized 24/7 student (and instructor) support, tutoring, and advising. She announced two virtual groups
that will be of particular importance to faculty: Center for Online Teaching Excellence
(http://commons.suny.edu/facultycenter/) and Open SUNY Scale-Up Lab. The former has already attracted
more than 500 faculty interested in sharing expertise in online education. The position of the UFS is that
Open SUNY offers opportunity for faculty and students to leverage online education in better ways, but we’ll
need to be vigilant to maintain control over quality and curriculum for our campuses. Visit
http://open.suny.edu/ for further information.
Seamless Transfer/ Student Mobility:
At the end of our last meeting, the UFS passed a Sense of the Senate resolution asking the Executive
Committee to produce a resolution that, in essence, endorsed the basic position of the Faculty Council of
Community Colleges regarding SUNY Central setting de facto curricula via the seamless transfer paths. The
Executive Committee deliberated for some time on the wording of a resolution, and meanwhile a series of
discussions among FCCC President Tina Good, Interim Provost Beth Bringsjord, and UFS President
Kneupfer resulted in development of a process to move forward. Accordingly, the Executive Committee
crafted a resolution endorsing that process. This was endorsed by the full Senate our Plenary.
The University Faculty Senate Executive Committee request that the Interim Provost work with Campus
Chief Academic Officers in consultation with their campus faculty governance leaders to identify an
appropriate faculty representative within each discipline on campus to advise on transfer paths related to the
one for which the campus has a registered program already established.
It was further resolved that the deadline for full implementation of minor and major revisions in the
Memorandum to Presidents on Seamless Transfer Requirements be extended to be effective for students
entering in the Fall semester, 2015, in order to ensure that the revisions to programs incorporate all changes
made to the transfer paths. In order to accommodate the process, the deadlines for submitting the first
Program Status Inventory and waiver requests will be extended to March 31, 2014.
LICH and SUNY Downstate:
The issue, which is of major concern to the UFS and all campuses, is the potential financial impact of the
divestment of LICH on the SUNY System as a whole. At present, even if SUNY were to exit the operation
of the Long Island College Hospital within 60 days, the potential liabilities exceed $500 million. Somewhat
less than half of this can be offset by a sale of the LICH properties, but SUNY would still be left with
potential liabilities of at least $300 million. Some of this debt could “go away,” but some percentage of it
will have to be covered by SUNY, decreasing the funding available to campuses.
Other Resolutions:
The “Resolution on the Status of the New York State College of Ceramics” expresses concern to the
Chancellor and BoT over the identity of Ceramics within the Alfred University community and asks for a
study of that relationship.
The “Resolution requesting participation of Alfred University and Cornell University in the process of
recognizing SUNY faculty for distinguished achievement” asks that the Chancellor invite the Alfred and
Cornell Presidents to participate in making SUNY faculty members at their respective institutions eligible for
the honorific distinction of distinguished faculty under the existing SUNY review and recommendation
processes.
The above issues were all Chancellor’s initiatives of 2013 that we are still working to implement. For 2014
she announced only one new initiative for the SUNY System. It is called “SUNY Works,” and seeks to
increase internships (paid or unpaid) and co-ops for our majors. Such work experience not only would
augment their education with practical experience, but also establish valuable contacts for employment after
graduation. Some of our majors such as Journalism already place their majors in internships at the Times
Union and local public radio stations, and extensions of internship programs would be negotiated at the local
campuses and departmental levels. SUNY would offer advice and contacts for further internships. The
chancellor also plans to meet with CEOs at all the Fortune 500 companies to get them to participate. This
initiative requires funds for additional professional staff who handle the placement of students, etc. It is our
understanding that, thus far, those funds have come from a grant from the Lumina Foundation. Sustaining
this effort long term will require more funding.
Announcements:
Undergraduate Research in New York State's Public Higher Education System: April 1, 2014, Legislative
Office Building, Albany, NY
SUNY’s First Conference on Shared Governance: April 23-24, 2014 at the Albany Holiday Inn on Wolf
Road. Proposals will be accepted through January 15, 2014.
Senator John Schmidt corrected that the 2nd line had skipped over that there would be a May meeting at Empire State
College before the one in the fall.
GSA (Graduate Student Association) – Caitlin Janiszewski, GSA President
The GSA would like to announce that we are planning an appreciation reception for those who serve the
University community particularly the University Senate. This reception is planned for April 7th after the
Senate meeting. The exact time and location are TBA. We would like to invite all Senators to attend. There
will be a simple program in which we will acknowledge the time and effort that goes into Senate service and
shared governance.
Aside from other normal GSA business, the GSA Wages & Benefits Committee is working towards our
President's Forum set for April 23rd from 4:30-6, location TBA. The Wages & Benefits Committee is also
working with the GSA President to push a resolution which calls for better pay for contingent faculty at the
SUNY System Student Assembly conference in about a month. We are working in tandem with students
from Buffalo and Binghamton to push this resolution on multiple campuses.
Senator Janiszewski added that the location of the appreciation reception, for anyone who is a Senator and works with
graduate students as Senators, would be right outside the next Senate meeting. The President’s Forum date and time is
up in the air as rooms are booked, but she promised they would keep people posted as to whether it was to take place
on the 23rd or on the backup date of the 24th.

institutional awards, including startup funds
3. In the Project Narrative, the applicant will be specifically required to describe the major theses of the
project and investigator’s understanding of the subject matter supported by relevant key literature
citations. The reference citations section will not count towards the five page application limit, but only
up to 25 references will be allowed and they must conform to the standard citation format of the
discipline.
4. In respect to eligibility, there must be at least 12-month gap between funding periods, regardless of
category. A faculty member cannot apply for FRAP if he/she has an open FRAP account, regardless of
category.
Chair Monfasani reported they had approved the changes to the FRAP guidelines if anyone had read them
and had any questions on them.
CPCA (Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointments) – Sanjay Putrevu, Chair
The next CPCA meeting is on Feb. 26.
Senate Chair Wagner noted Chair Putrevu could not be at the meeting, but that CPCA was plugging away
on cases. They only had a few more meetings left and they would be done with all the mandatory cases for
this year, so they are busy but on track.
GAC (Graduate Academic Council) – Ronald Toseland, Chair
The GAC has now organized itself and will be meeting monthly during the Spring 2014 semester.
Nothing to add
GOV (Governance Council) – Joette Stefl-Mabry, Chair
GOV Met on February 24, 2014
1. Based on a conversation that the Chair of the Senate had with the Chair of GOV, Re: The Charter
Amendment Re Composition of CPCA, William B. Hedburg, Senior Vice Provost and Associate Vice
President for Academic Affairs, was invited to attend the GOV meeting to discuss the existing rationale as
written in the proposed amendment. After William B. Hedburg left, GOV discussed the proposed changes
and decided a revision of the rationale was in order. A vote was taken and a revised version of the
Amendment was accepted. A friendly amendment to revise the amendment was taken to the SEC who met
later in the afternoon on 02/24/2014.
2. The Committee on Assessment of Governance and Consultation is finalizing the Survey for Evaluation of
Shared Governance with input from the President’s office. The target date for the survey will be March 24th,
2014 and it will run through April 1st.
3. GOV has commenced election procedures for all University-wide balloting. Currently GOV is putting
together a preliminary slate of candidates with additional nominations solicited from the faculty and
professional staff for Senators-at large, UAS board representatives, and SUNY-wide Senators. Schools and
colleges have been notified regarding election procedures for Senators representing their schools and
colleges and asked to respond by March 28th, 2014.
Senator Stefl-Mabry reported that GOV had met that day. They have been discussing CAFFECoR’s responsibilities
and potential changes to its charge, including recent pressing issues that she was glad to see were also part of the
SUNY-wide Senate report about Open SUNY, StartUpNY and edTPA. The Senate Charter 7.7.3.2 outlines
CAFFECoR’s responsibilities and 7.7.3.2.1 states that
The Senate affirms its commitment to the principle that the widest possible scope for freedom of expression is
the foundation of an institution dedicated to vigorous inquiry, robust debate, and the continuous search for a
proper balance between freedom and community responsibility.
GOV had been wrestling with where the appropriate councils are for these issues to be discussed. She cited the
example of edTPA and the fact that our students are producing portfolios being turned over to Pearson, and
Pearson’s statement that they will take student names off the portfolios but the material can be used to scale their
products and initiatives; plus students will be paying $300 for a test that, in the instance of the School of Library
Media, has never been field tested in the 7 schools throughout NY state. So, GOV stressed it is essential that faculty
discuss and understand what if any impact Open SUNY, StartUpNY and edTPA have on their curricula. They
consider we have a responsibility to ensure that our students can meet the professional standards upon graduating
from UAlbany. At SUNY Geneseo and SUNY Cortland 40% of students failed last semester and will have to retake
the edTPA exams for $300. In response GOV, she stated, is thinking about how the Senate would address these issues.
GOV has examined the other council charges and believe that a mechanism to discuss these or at least have councils
discussing these matters is needed.
LISC (Council on Libraries, Information Systems, and Computing) – Elizabeth Gaffney, Chair
The next regularly scheduled LISC meeting is Monday, March 3rd. Topics for discussion include Wireless
Heat Maps for the campus, and a report from the On-Line Teaching and Learning Committee.
Nothing to add.
UAC (Undergraduate Academic Council) – Anthony DeBlasi, Chair
UAC has met weekly since the last Senate meeting. It has reviewed the General Education competency plans
for nine majors. Where necessary, it has contacted departments for further clarification. For those plans that
have been approved, the Council has notified the relevant department and the Vice Provost for
Undergraduate Education. In addition to the General Education plans, the Interdisciplinary Studies
Committee is currently considering a proposal for a Faculty-initiated Interdisciplinary Major in Bio-
instrumentation.
Chair DeBlasi added UAC continues to meet weekly, though they would not be meeting during spring
break.
ULC (University Life Council) –Michael Jaromin, Chair
The next ULC meeting will be March 3rd.
Nothing to add.
UPPC (University Planning and Policy Council) –Andi Lyons, Chair
UPPC met on Wednesday, February 12. The Council considered whether there were any resource
implications for the proposed merger of the Departments of Theatre and Music into the new Department of
Music and Theatre; and seeing none, voted unanimously that this was an administrative decision within CAS
and did not require Senate action. The Council also considered the Graduate Certificate in International
Health and Human Rights, deciding that it should be returned to ROC until more information on its campus
impact was provided. Under old business, the Master of International Affairs was reviewed and the Council
felt more information was required. Subsequently, we received the necessary materials and conducted an
online vote so that this would be available for the agenda of the next Senate meeting. The next UPPC
meeting is scheduled for March 12.
Since their last meeting, UPPC voted electronically and approved the Master of International Affairs
proposal, which the Senate would see as a Bill later that day. Chair Lyons noted they sent back the Graduate
Certification Program in International Health and Human Rights to get more information, to be reviewed in
the next meeting that coming Wednesday, along with the Bio-instrumentation proposal.
Chair Wagner added that neither the President nor the Provost could be there that day, so there were no
reports from them. There was also no unfinished business.
NEW BUSINESS
Council Membership Changes were announced by Senate Secretary Yenisel Gulatee as follows:
New students joining councils:
Undergraduate
Graduate Student
Kevin Murphy – GOV
Joe Poniatowski – GAC
Allie Favor – UAC
Connor Dunleavy – ULC
Raymond Webb – ULC
Senator Gulatee moved that the Senate approve these changes. Chair Wagner inquired to any objection in
voting on all those changes in one block. The changes were approved with the following voting result:
Approved: 35; Opposed: 0; Abstained: 0
Bill 1314-03: Proposal to Establish a Master of International Affairs (M.I.A.) Degree Program
Chair Wagner underlined that the Bill was introduced by GAC and Rockefeller College. She noted that
GAD Chair, Ron Toseland could not be there. David Rousseau, Dean of Rockefeller College, was present to
give a brief overview of the proposal and answer any questions.
Professor Rousseau explained that the degree draws on the expertise of Political Science and Public
Administration. The Public Administration expertise is in Economics and Management, while the Political
Science expertise is in Global Governance and Global Security. It is a 12 class master’s program: 6 core
classes, 3 concentration classes 2 electives and 1 capstone class. Professor Rousseau continued his
description of the program, stating that the concentration classes include Global Securities, Global
Governance, International Management and International Economics. The students will do a required non-
credit internship as well as a capstone experience, team-based, with a client, in order to provide some
experiential learning for the program. It is going to be staffed by 4 full-time faculty: 2 tenure track faculty in
Albany and 2 Evergreen faculty members, plus they will have up to 8 adjuncts teaching as well.
The location will be split between Albany and the SUNY Global Center in NYC. All the classes will be
synchronous learning classes to provide as much access as possible. He stated that they will have 2 staffers
here in Rockefeller College plus 3 staffers in NYC to support the students there in terms of services,
internships, career services, etc.
Professor Rousseau said they anticipate enrollments beginning small, with 22 FTEs rising up eventually to
130 after 5 years. They are looking at the demand for this program. Rockefeller College, for example, has
about 20 students every year interested in the Global concentration within their Master’s in Public Affairs.
He shared that they often cannot place students as there is a lot of demand for those classes. They expect to
build the program over time and to service the needs of students both in NYC and Albany.
Professor Rousseau then offered to answer any questions. Regarding the question if there is a language
requirement, he answered that it is strongly encouraged, but cannot be required. Professor Rey Koslowski
added that in terms of advising students there would be an expectation that quite a few of the students would
have that experience coming from, for instance, Latin American studies programs. For those that do not, he
would very much recommend they do and that they talk with people in their fields regarding what their
chances are if they do not. It was discussed that the recommendation be included in the program handbook
and the bulletin so that students are made aware.
Professor Rousseau addressed a question regarding what was meant by ‘synchronous courses’. He explained
that it is anticipated that there would always be 15 students face to face in a classroom, and then they would
use something like Adobe Connect or Collaborate in Blackboard to bring in other students into that
classroom to increase access to courses. Professor Koslowski added that if, for instance, there were a course
taking place in NYC, UAlbany students could potentially connect and partake via direct video link
conferencing.
A question was raised as to why no credit was being offered for the internship of the module. Professor
Rousseau explained it was modelled on the Master’s in Public Administration Program. Every couple of
weeks during the program they run a session and bring all the MPA students together to go through things
about career, writing and all sorts of professional development. It is not credit bearing as they do not want
them to have to pay for that or the internship, but they still want them to have that work experience.
Regarding the inquiry as to whether there would be student assistance provided in finding internships, it was
explained that in Rockefeller College they now place about 70 students in internships. They have a full time
staffer and an assistant graduate student, and they will add another full time staffer with the addition of this
program. They hope that having a NY-based internship person will help the MPA program here and also
provide a broader support for our MIA. Professor Koslowski added that all of the International Affairs
faculty members will be strongly encouraged to develop their networks and work with our Professional
Development staff to identify people and make connections to those opportunities.
It was asked to what extent Rockefeller College will be looking at existing courses in different disciplines to
use what UAlbany already has as electives. Professor Rousseau answered that in the proposal it lists a large
group of about 50 classes across the University that are going to be used in the concentrations and as
electives. They are hoping to expand – for instance there is no Global health concentration right now. As
soon as the School of Public Health gets their certificate up and running, they will approve that as a
concentration and use that expertise. They would love to and plan to embrace a much broader support.
Professor Koslowski added that they have the core so that it does not become a challenge, but in terms of
electives it will depend on students too. They will look to work with any faculty members on courses that
could be cross listed for starters – then if there is enough to form a concentration by all means.
Chair Wagner mentioned, as it says on the bill, UPPC has reviewed this proposal on a number of occasions.
The letter of intent had been reviewed previous on more than one occasion, but that the full proposal was
very recently discussed at length and approved.
Chair Wagner called a vote on the GAC motion to approve Bill 1314-03, the Masters of International Affairs.
The program was approved with the following voting results:
Approved: 31; Opposed: 1; Abstained: 3
The Bill would now be forwarded to the President’s Office.
Lastly, Chair Wagner reminded that some Senator terms are ending this spring and charged that those on the
list whose terms were up to talk to leaders in academic units about either coming back or finding a
replacement. She asked that if any thought their name should not be on the list to let her know.
