\par Re:  Analysis of University of Alaska Sexual Orientation Policies
\par 
\par }\pard \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright {Godwin,
\par 
\par I am writing in response to our discussion of November 19, 2001.
\par 
\par First, I am not aware of any Alaska State or Federal laws that directly prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.  There are a number of laws that prohibit various actions which might be motivated by di
scrimination, such as assault and battery, but which are based on the result, not the discrimination.
\par 
\par Second, I think it would be misleading to modify the existing policy by simply inserting \ldblquote sexual orientation\rdblquote  among the other classifications of illegal 
discrimination.  To do so would imply directly that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is prohibited by state and federal law, which it does not appear to be.
\par \line Third, in my opinion, the Board of Regents\rquote  bylaws and policies already go beyond
 state and federal law and prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.  This is the case although sexual orientation is not specifically mentioned.  The issue of sexual orientation being added to BOR policies was raised in 1993.  At that t
ime after much debate, it was decided that a prohibition directed to \ldblquote sexual orientation\rdblquote 
 would not be added to the bylaw, but that a general statement that would protect against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation would.  
\par 
\par The issue of addin
g sexual orientation was again addressed in 1996.  My opinion at the time, and one that was accepted by the Board, was that the language added in 1993 did, in fact, prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.  Consequently, the existing la
nguage was retained.
\par 
\par There are a number of references in policy and regulation that I interpret to prohibit discrimination on the basis of any number of criteria, including sexual orientation.  Here are some:
\par

It is the policy of the Board that in accordance with federal and state law, illegal discrimination against any individual because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, Vietnam era or disabled veteran status, physical or mental di
sability, changes in marital status, pregnancy or parenthood is prohibited.  }{\f7\ul Decisions affecting individuals shall be based on the individual's qualifications, abilities and performance, as appropriate.\rdblquote 
\par }{\f7 
\par }\pard \s28\qj\ri360\widctlpar\tqr\tx1440\adjustright {\f7 The final sentence was added in 1993.  It was clear
 at the time that by inserting the last sentence, an employment decision that was based on something other than qualifications, abilities and performance would be contrary to the bylaw.  Sexual orientation as a basis for decisions affecting individuals wa
s understood to be something other than qualifications, abilities and performance.  Other provisions of Policy include this same sentiment. 
\par }\pard\plain \ri360\widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {
\par I do not recall any cases of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation since I came here in April 1996.  I 
was not told of any prior to my arrival, other than the health benefits issue.  I am sure that there have been none in which the bylaw was found to be inadequate since my arrival.  Thus, I believe that the university has adequate policies in place to proh
ibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

\par As far as I know, no statute or decisional law would prevent the Board of Regents from adopting the same position as the state and City of Anchorage and deny health care benefits to financially interdependent
 partners.  A change in existing Policies or Bylaws would not create a different result.}{\cs32\super \chftn {\footnote \pard\plain \s31\widctlpar\adjustright \fs20\cgrid {\cs32\super \chftn }{
 The Regents are free to change their own policies at any time.  The only difference with Bylaws is that they require a formal 14 day notice before amendment; but no more than a majority is required for a Bylaw change.}}}{
  At present, however, I am aware of no inclination to follow that course, although the issue has not come up.  
\par 
\par Conclusion:
\par 
\par From the standpoint of current statutory
 and decisional law, it would be misleading to add sexual orientation to the list of illegal discriminations under state and federal law.  From a policy standpoint, the university goes beyond state law to prohibit discrimination against anyone on the basi
s of sexual orientation.  There is no need to mention it specifically in an additional provision prohibiting discrimination.   Changing the bylaw or policy would not bind the Board of Regents in any event.  
\par 
\par From a practical standpoint, there have been no 
allegations of university discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation that came to my attention since April of 1996 when I came on board.  Certainly there have been none that the existing policy has not been sufficient to address.  The absence of pr
oblems mitigates any need for change.
\par 
\par The recent superior court case does not affect the validity of the University\rquote s current policies.  But in light of that case, an effort to change the policy to add sexual orientation could cause a re-argument of the fi
nancially interdependent partner program at the University, which I would not see as helpful.

\par The University of Alaska provided four-year undergra
duate B.Ed. degrees at UAA, UAF and UAS until the Board of Regents suspended admission to these degrees in 1998.  Since they have been replaced by new degrees, we are requesting that the B.Ed. be deleted.  Students who were declared as B.Ed. majors prior 
to that time have had the option, and the support necessary, to complete their degree requirements by December of 2002. 
\par 
\par }\pard \ri450\widctlpar\tx360\adjustright {Between 1998 and 2001, the only route for students wishing to gain teacher certification within the UA system was to complete a 5th yea
r, post-baccalaureate teacher preparation program.  However, in 2000, each MAU was given permission to develop a new undergraduate degree program that would prepare students as elementary teachers.  In June of 2001, the UA Board of Regents approved new un
d
ergraduate degrees at each of the MAU's.  These degrees, all defined as a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, serve as a replacement for the B.Ed. at each of the three campuses.  The new degrees were designed collaboratively by UAA, UAF and UAS facu
lty and there is transferability for students throughout the University of Alaska system.

\par }\pard\plain \s34\ri540\widctlpar\adjustright \f7\cgrid {The new degree incorporates many of the courses and components of the previous degree, but its design includes new responsibilities for students and faculty, and it 
responds directly to new national and state standards including NCATE standards, the Alaska Teacher Standards, the Alaska Student Content Standards and the Alaska Standards for Culturally Responsive Schools.  It is also fully compatible with the Alaska Qu
ality Schools Initiative. 
\par }\pard\plain \ri540\widctlpar\tx360\adjustright \f7\cgrid {
\par Since there is a well-documented and critical need for teachers in Alaska, the addition of a new undergraduate degree to replace the B.Ed. is an important step to take in responding to this need. 
\par 
\par The new BA in Elementary Educat
ion provides the option for students in rural areas, as well as those on the Fairbanks Campus, to seek an undergraduate degree and teaching certificate in a much-needed profession.  The teacher shortage in rural areas, the high teacher turnover rate, and 
the predicted shortage in urban areas is a critical problem that the University system can, and should, respond to by providing this new degree option.

\par MAT, Elementary 
\par 
\par In 1999, in conjunction with the development of a new post-baccalaureate teacher education programs for elementary and secondary teachers, the School of Edu
cation decided to test a pilot program that allowed post-baccalaureate teacher education students to earn an MAT degree in conjunction with the coursework and internship required for a teacher education license.  After two years, with ongoing review and r
e
flection of the advantages and disadvantages of the pilot MAT option (including the solicitation of a great deal of feedback from cooperating mentor teachers and administrators), the School of Education suspended admission to its MAT programs in spring 20
01.  
\par 
\par In place of the MAT, the School of Education designed an option for post-baccalaureate teacher education students to pursue the more respected and more rigorous M.Ed.  This option allows post-baccalaureate students to use 15 of the required 27 credit
s from their licensure program to satisfy one-half of the 30 credits required for an M.Ed. Degree in Curriculum and Instruction.  
\par 
\par This new option has been in place for two years and the response from students, university faculty and school district perso
nnel has been very positive.  In contrast to the MAT degree, the M.Ed. provides the option for students who complete our post-baccalaureate teacher education programs to continue their graduate work with us, and it provides the opportunity for the School 
of Education to provide professional development and support for beginning teachers.  The M.Ed. can also be used as a foundation for a Ph.D. because of its requirements for research and the completion of a research project or a thesis.

\par Master's of Software Engineering
\par }\pard \ri540\widctlpar\adjustright {
\par The Masters in Software Engineering is meant to prepare students for careers as software practitioners
, i.e., those whose primary job is to develop or maintain software.  It this goal is well met, then the program will directly benefit software practitioners and their employers.  
\par 
\par The main reason for the existence of the field of software engineering is t
o seek and find solutions to various software practitioners' performance problems.  Thirty-two years of software engineering efforts have produced good results in software engineering technical areas such as tools, process, re-use, testing, et cetera and 
i
n management areas such as software project management.  Unfortunately the fruits of this labor are often not known to or used by software practitioners.  Thus the UAF Software Engineering program goal is to help improve the performance of software practi
tioners through knowledge, understanding and use of software engineering principles and practices.  
\par 
\par This program has been a successful track in the computer science graduate program since its inception in 1993.  The software engineering track in the Compu
ter Science Master's program was originally intended as an independent program, but was developed as a track for budgetary reasons.  We are now proceeding with the separation of this track into a separate program according to our original plan.  The progr
am is not otherwise being changed from its already successful form.  Indeed, the graduates of this program have been successful in obtaining employment.

\par FACULTY AFFAIRS MEETING REPORT 
\par 
\par DATE:\tab  Monday, 12 November 2001,  Begin: 1300 hrs, Runcorn Conference Room
\par 
\par Committee Members Present:  Mike Davis, Rural Development, Dillingham; Joan Leguard, Philosophy & Humanities; Peter McRoy (Chair), SFOS
\par 
\par Guests:  Bret Luick and Richard Seifert, CES; Richard Caufield. Chair, Master Plan Committee; Godwin Chukwu, VP Faculty Senate
\par 
\par }{\b Agenda
\par }{The usual order of business was waived to concentrate on 2 major issues, the representation of CES faculty on the Senate and the Master Plan review. 
\par }{\b 
\par CES faculty representation on the Faculty Senate (Luick/Seifert):
\par }{\tab Dr. Luick reported that the consolidation of the Cooperative Extension Service (CES now CES) into the College of Rural Alaska resulted in the loss of traditional direct Faculty Senate membership from CES.  
He sought assistance of Faculty Affairs Committee to find a way to reinstate its Senate representation.  Dr. Chukwu noted that when SME, SALARM and SOM were incorporated into CNRDM each unit retained its individual faculty representation on the Senate.  
This unit representation was handled internally by the CNRDM at the time of reorganization.  The CNRDM situation is a precedent for CES.  
Dr. Luick will seek resolution of the problem internally in CRA with consultation with Faculty Affairs and the Senate Administration Committee.  Faculty Affairs expressed appreciation to Drs. Luick and Seifert for their efforts in resolving this issue. 

\par 
\par }{\b Master Plan Review (Caufield):
\par }{\tab Dr. Caufield presented and overview of the latest draft Master Plan and cited the Goals and associated actions that were driving the process.  The 5 goals are: (1)
 To create an efficient and attractive campus environment to learning; (2) to improve community access to the UAF campus; (3) to make vehicle circulation simple and direct; (4) to promote safe and efficient travel through the campus for pedestrian and oth
er non-motorized uses; and (5) to highlight natural assets of campus and its unique northern environment.  Dr. Caufield then gave a short history of how the current plan had developed with the engineering consultants.
\par }\pard \fi720\widctlpar\adjustright {Faculty Affairs members raised several issues with the latest draft of the Master Plan.  These issues include, but are not limited to, the following:  
a failure to consider the security risks imposed by darkness, a poor road plan that will only increase faculty, staff and student commuting betw
een buildings, the elimination of small, but needed, parking lots, proposed locations of new buildings on the West Ridge that will increase congestion and create new access problems, a failure to consider alternative campus access routes to alleviate cong
estion and traffic, proposed shuttle bus routes that would increase commute time between West Ridge and lower campus, and an unrealistic preoccupation with pedestrian access. 
\par Dr. Caufield presented some of the thought and justifications that created the existing plan but many considerations raised by the Committee were left unresolved.  The Committee will discuss these concerns and make recommendations at its December meeting.

\par }{
\par }{\i 1.  Proposal for Major Program/Degree Requirement Change, Atmospheric Physics (AP)
\par }{   Brenton Watkins (Chair, Dept. Physics) summarized the rationale and background for a major program change request to implement a Degree Program in AP (not perceived as a new degree but resulting out of development of Atmospher
ic Sciences (AS) Program which was taken out of the Dept of Physics and is currently administered by CSEM, leaving historical core of atmospheric physics components of the program disenfranchised; adding a concentration in AP to the Physics Program was no
t
 deemed sufficient by the Dept. based on recruiting and curriculum considerations). David Newman (Head Academic Council CSEM) stressed the importance of offering variety to potential students, and added that personal initial concerns to move ahead with re
q
uest potentially interfering with development of AS Program have largely diminished as the latter program is gaining momentum. Larry Duffy (Chair, Atmospheric Sciences Program) reviewed development of AS Program, with majority of students in atmospheric p
hysics branch in the 90's, but increasing momentum for other aspects of AS. Joe Kan stressed role of GAAC in assessing and ensuring academic quality of programs, i.e. focussing on the academic content. 
\par    In discussing the requested program change, several
 GAAC members raised concerns that the current proposal entails more than a program change, given that AS Program remains intact and request would result in two programs (AS and AP), such that in its present form it would undercut BOR Policy as well as th
e
 spirit of assessment of program viability and quality through faculty review (cf. BOR requirements for New Program as compared to Major Program Change). Brenton Watkins stressed that the present proposal was based on advised route of action and was not i
ntended to undercut the process. However, concern for current and future students in a well-established program (AP portion of former comprehensive AS Program) led to request for new program rather than adding of concentration.
\par    In order to allow GAAC mem
bers more time to probe and evaluate the relevant issues, a decision on the request was deferred to the next GAAC meeting.  However, the Committee decided to stress and convey the following points to the Faculty Senate (and Administration involved in the 
development of an AS Program):
\par \tab (1) During the meeting, most if not all parties recognized that interdisciplinary programs (such as a broader AS Program) are both attractive and potentially optimal solutions to the current dilemma of dissolution or broadeni
ng of disciplinary boundaries on the one hand, and the legitimate concerns over academic program oversight, allocation of students and resources (with both scarce at times at UAF) on the other. Yet, neither party at this stage recognized the joint adminis
t
ration of a degree program in AS with a concentration in AP and Atmospheric Chemistry under the purview of the different departments as a viable option. Considering that other proposals before the GAAC point to similar problems (and acknowledging that the
se problems could be further fuelled by the ever-increasing degree of distance-delivery of programs), it may be prudent for faculty and administration to consider in more detail both the problems and opportunities facing UAF in this context.
\par \tab (2) The curren
t proposal was difficult to evaluate because of entanglement of administrative, academic and policy issues. For example, it was noted that the transfer of the AS Program out of the responsibility and purview of the Physics Dept. into CSEM may have constit
u
ted a major program change, subject to evaluation and response by the GAAC. This particular item will be addressed by the Committee at a later meeting. At the same time, research into current BOR Policy and preliminary consultation with GAAC could have cl
arified and streamlined the process for all involved.
\par \tab (3) Unanimous agreement was expressed over the importance of recruitment and retention of outstanding graduate students and the critical role played by individual programs in maintaining the current hig
h academic standard.  Considering current and future development of education, sciences and engineering it is ironic that possibly as a direct result of these genuine concerns UAF might run the risk of losing rather than gaining lustre in the eyes of both
 current and future graduate students, in particular if the current issue is any indication of what is still to come in other disciplines. 
\par 
\par 
\par }{\i 2.  Proposal for a New Degree Program, Master's Degree in Software Engineering (MSE)
\par }{   Pete Knoke gave an overview
 of rationale and background for the New Degree Program Proposal (substantial need for graduates with background in program design and implementation; development of Computer Science (CS) and industry are likely to fuel such demand in the future; MSE woul
d
 be focussed program in contrast with broader CS program, earlier splitting of CS in technical/non-technical track unfortunate; original plan was to do away with concentration for SE parallel with introducing MSE program proposal, but due to hang-up propo
sal was delayed; 20 students over the past few years in the SE track). 
\par    In the discussion it was questioned by Joe Kan and committee members to what an extent this program qualifies for the title "Engineering".  This has been looked at by faculty in the 
Electrical Engineering Dept. who provided a memorandum, deeming the use of the term adequate (after additional research in industry) and overall in support of the program.  While the initiative and level of activity of the proponents of the new degree pro
g
ram are impressive, the GAAC questioned whether a degree program could rest solely on the shoulders of two faculty (Knoke and Nance).  Oblique references to potential additional support were not deemed enough, in particular in light of the current job mar
k
et situation and issues relating to faculty attraction/retention in the CS field.  The GAAC expressed that viability of the program would require more specific input and revisions along the following lines: expressed statement by CSEM Dean to provide a th
i
rd faculty position in support of the program, specific assessment of program enrollment and output (cf. BOR Policy Guidelines) as well as implementation.  Pete Knoke will provide a revised version of the proposal for the next GAAC meeting for reconsidera
tion.

\par    The course request for MIN 601 - Application of Artificial Neural Networks (#32, new course) was judged premature at this point, since the trial cou
rse (approved in Oct meeting by GAAC) for this offering had not yet been taught, rendering evaluation of success and potential improvements of trial course impossible.  The committee recommends re-submission of course request after completion of trial cou
rse with evaluation of course success (including addressing the issue of potential duplication of courses offered in other departments).
\par 
\par }{\i (2) Request for Major Program Change: Northern Studies, Concentration in Global Environmental Policy
\par }{   Jerry McBeath s
ummarized rationale and background for major program change request (demand based on recognized concerns and developments in circum-Arctic and globally, combination of resources and expertise with existing NORS graduate program, after submission to CLA Ac
ademic Council followed up with assessment and review that guided present form of proposal).  Judy Kleinfeld stressed synergistic components and overall strengthening of both PS and NORS components of project. 
\par    Gayle Gregory pointed out that current language in catalog does not reflect existing concentrations (such as in general Northern Studies) and that this should be rectified and routed through GAAC. 
\par     Further discussion included the long-term development of program (cf. wording in proposal) and fu
ture options. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of the GAAC in avoiding internal competition (the non-constructive kind), which required that the proponents supply more information on program assessment and development (to be provided by G. McBea
t
h, possibly bolstered by supporting earlier proposal review). While it could not be resolved to what an extent the proposal requires implementation of an additional faculty-line, this issue will be addressed in the revised proposal (see also item 4 below)
.
 With respect to resources, distance delivery is an important component of proposed change. Stacking of courses (all new courses that are requested for program are stacked) chosen as a means of streamlining program, but it was noted that course requests n
eed to distinguish sufficiently between undergraduate and graduate components. 
\par 
\par }{\i (3) Proposal for New Program in Applied Linguistics
\par }{   Lillian Corti (with additional information from C. Basham as proponent) provided summary review of proposal (proposal tim
ely in light of needs for AK native language instruction, English as a second language and foreign language linguistics program development, very strong faculty support, program evolved out of interdisciplinary program students with needs assessed by surv
ey). 
\par    It was inquired to what an extent the program would overlap or draw away from the Education program.  This was not deemed a problem due to size of Ed program and different target audience for the proposed linguistics program (i.e., not focussing on
 literacy and schooling aspects), although direct contact of School of Education about program was deemed beneficial.  The requirement of a teaching certificate for K-12 teachers is unproblematic as most applicants requiring such would come with certifica
te from undergraduate degree.
\par    Administration of the program was discussed and it was suggested that identification in catalog as Applied Linguistics might complicate administration and further evolution of program in Linguistics Dept.
\par    Required program
 resources, in particular statement proposal regarding faculty position and support, were discussed and it was requested that specific support of the faculty line be indicated by the CLA Dean (alternatively GAAC would forward request subject to approval b
y Dean/Provost, see also item 4 below).
\par    Dennis Stephens pointed out that resources required for program extend beyond faculty positions etc. and that library resources are potentially critical in such requests (though the present proposal took exemplary 
approach in ensuring proper consideration).
\par 
\par }{\i (4) Program viability and resource allocation
\par }{  The evaluation of the two proposals listed above and earlier ones included an assessment of program viability in light of available or potentially available resour
ces (faculty positions etc.).  Joe Kan pointed out that final approval rests with the Chancellor (and input from Provost) limited resources need not concern committee (in contrast with academic strength of program).  Norm Swazo would bring up this point i
n
 Administrative Committee Meeting with Provost.  Members of GAAC pointed out that nature of the program development process (such as unrealistic reliance on President's Initiative Process, feedback between successful proposal review and search of financia
l
 program support etc.) may not allow for a disregarding of resource allocation issues in the context of overall viability and program development.  It was noted in particular, that President's Initiative Process and Academic Program Review and Implementat
ion are currently decoupled to an extent that might impede both program development and proposal submission.

m assessment, impacts, concentration areas; 20-25 students expected to be enrolled in concentration). In discussing requests for new courses (PS447/647, PS454/654, PS455/655, PS456/656, PS458/658) associated with program change, issues that the committee 
f
elt were not clarified sufficiently at this stage are: unclear and potentially insufficient distinction between graduate and undergraduate course portions (with all courses but one in the concentration stacked), linkage of courses to Northern Studies prog
r
am was not immediately obvious, references to previous assessments of program would have benefited from supplying (in excerpt or summary) conclusions/ outcomes. As the GAAC had not had time to adequately review the new information provided (in particular 
the substantial changes with respect to the two additional concentrations included since Tuesday) it was decided to defer the discussion.
\par 
\par }{\i (2) Proposal for New Program in Applied Linguistics
\par }{  As the committee had not yet received revisions of the original 
proposal (addressing issues discussed at Tuesday's meeting, i.e., title of program, identification of administrative responsibility), it was decided to defer further discussion of the request and associated courses.
\par 
\par }{\i (3) Proposal for a New Degree Program, Master's Degree in Software Engineering (MSE)}{
\par   A revision of the original program request, taking into account changes discussed at the Nov 6 meeting had been prepared by Pete Knoke and was forwarded to the GAAC. These revisions and a memo from the Dean o
f CSEM addressed the concerns raised earlier, including the assurance of adequate support of the program through allocation of an additional faculty position to a new MSE program.  In light of these and earlier considerations, the committee unanimously ap
proved to forward the proposal to the Faculty Senate.

\par John Lehman introduced the BA and minor for Global Studies and how it came about. 
\par 
\par Th
ese are two independent programs aimed at different audiences. The Global Studies minor was developed by Joy Morrison last year after consultations with PS, Sheri and others. The minor is inside CLA. After one course was tested last year, input was that a
n
ything with Global should be part of PS. Prof. Morrison chose Global Studies to avoid any confusion. The major was developed only as a second BA program, primarily marketed to students not seeking a BA (BS, BBA) as offered at Oregon State. A BA student wo
u
ld not be stopped from taking this. As part of the academic plan, these should have international experience in their specific fields. Students in sciences or business typically do not have that exposure. The committee asked questions. Objections to the p
roposal were introduced. After discussion, John was invited back for next meeting. The committee will begin with the Global Studies proposal.

\par 
\par Discussion of the Global Studies program focused on impact on other
 programs. Concerns about the minor were not the same for the major in Global Studies. Minor sent back to Joy Morrison, noting to talk with the Geography Department to look at options. BA approved to move on to Curricular Affairs Committee with changes in
 name to External Studies and a market analysis with student names. 
\par 
\par Vicki presented and the committee approved #1-7, not 8, 9 (sent back to Joy as part of Global Studies). Vicki also presented #67 FYI for the committee so that we could consider the changes to HST beginning next meeting on Friday.

\par 
\par Joy Morrison talked about the history of the minor and consultation with other departments in CLA. She added LING 216: Languages of the World. The minor has nine required classes, pl
us two new courses that will serve as intro and capstone. It could be a feeder into a major once students take some classes in this interdisciplinary option. Discussion focused on international emphasis.
\par 
\par The committee approved the minor and the courses as
sociated with it (#8, 9 and 10). Vicki presented the changes in the HST program and the proposed emphases in what will be called Human Services. The committee approved #47-67 with changes to #48 (repeat once), #50 (beef up syllabus), #56 (one credit), #58
 
(one credit), #59 (one credit), #60 (one credit and list HSV 125 as pre-requisite), #64 (one credit), #65 (one credit), and #66 (three credits). Gayle noted the changes to the catalogue copy. The committee also approved changes for #38-46 with a correctio
n on #44 to not repeatable and a note on #45 to correct the number of credits to 31. The committee also approved #75, 77, and 78, but held approval on #76, 79 and 80 until Pete found out some additional information.
