ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. There have been a number of orientation workshops since we went on the bus tour last autumn. On
May 3rd another workshop is scheduled: “Putting Together your Promotion Packet.” It’s not too
soon for our recently appointed faculty to think about this. All faculty are welcome to attend.
2. The Promotion, Merit, and Tenure database update spreadsheets have been distributed to faculty.
Faculty are requested to update their spreadsheets and return the revised sheets to Jon Diemer as soon
as possible. The deadline is one week from today, April 30, 2007. If faculty have any questions,
please contact David Briggs, Gordon Bradley, or Jon Diemer. Jon Diemer is the best person to
answer any questions regarding database management.

3. The discussion regarding Faculty Portfolios has been postponed until the May 7th Faculty Meeting.
Faculty will be sent the portfolios before that meeting to review. It is hoped that the individual
faculty member who proposed the portfolio will attend to present their proposal.
4. College of Forest Resources Garb Day Celebration is the weekend of May 19, 2007 at The Center for
Sustainable Forestry at Pack Forest. In addition to the many physical activities, the students have
proposed holding a “Quiz Bowl.” Faculty are encouraged to send Dr. Bradley any clever (or perhaps
not so) quiz questions. Suggested topics are: forestry history, silviculture, policy, and restoration.
5. As part of UW Washington Weekend a tree planting will take place at the Union Bay Natural Area.
Alumni of the College are sponsoring this event.
Faculty enquired as to the status of Arbor Day activities the College has sponsored in the past.
Recently, these activities have brought young elementary school children to the College who have
had the benefit of presentations and the opportunity to plant trees. Dr. Ettl admitted he might have
been responsible for the hiatus of this event. He, in conversation with alumni, thought it would be
prudent to find a sponsor for this event, and since one could not be found, it was decided to put the
event on hold for the foreseeable future. Faculty want to know what to do with the “kid-based” props
they have developed for the event. Dr. Ettl said to contact him and he would make sure the props
were tended to.
PRESENTATIONS
No presentations were scheduled.
FACULTY ACTIONS
1. Proposed Faculty Candidates under Consideration for the Natural Resource Informatics
faculty position

Dr. Briggs, chair of the search committee for the Natural Resource Informatics faculty search began the
discussion with a review of what has gone on so far with this search. The search began over a year ago

who would join the Precision Forestry group to integrate information and technology in a decision
support management system. This position is tenure track, 9 months with 75% research and 25%
teaching, and is at the assistant or associate professor level. The four candidates listed above were
presented and the committee recommendations were stated.
 Rob Harrison moved and Tom Hinckley seconded to accept the recommendations of the
committee and move forward with a vote. A call for vote was distributed electronically to assure
voting majority. The faculty were asked to rate each of the candidates individually as either
acceptable or not acceptable then the faculty were asked to rank each of the candidates in order of
preference.
 The results of the vote are recorded in the Faculty Office.
2. Proposed Courtesy Faculty Appointment
 Andrew Light, PhD, Associate Professor, Philosophy, proposed for Adjunct Associate Professor

 Robert Bilby, PhD, Affiliate Associate Professor sponsored by Dr. Robert Edmonds is proposed
to be promoted to Affiliate Professor.

Forest Resources for many years. He has served on many graduate student committees and cochaired several Ph.D. student committees with Dr. Edmonds over the years. Dr. Edmonds stated
that it only seems appropriate that the College of Forest Resources faculty concur on this
promotion.

5. Proposed Curriculum Changes
Michelle Trudeau was called upon to present the following proposed curriculum changes. Before she
began she reminded faculty that Washington Weekend is April 26-28th. College of Forest Resources will
host an Open House and there will be ongoing presentations and a poster session in the Forest Club
Room. In addition, Student Services will have a booth on the HUB lawn. The Paper Science group will
have a paper making demonstration on Friday in Bloedel Hall.
She also indicated that the Curriculum Options were approved by the UW curriculum committee and has
moved forward to the tri-campus committee. In light of that approval, marketing for the options has
begun and a snappy new poster has been developed and is being distributed.

Gerard Schreuder moved and David Briggs seconded that the following curriculum changes be
considered by the faculty:
1. PSE 201 and CFR 505—name change from “Introduction to Pulp and Paper Technology” to
“Introduction to Pulp, Paper and Bioproducts.”
2. ESRM 480 and 481—combine these two courses, title and prerequisite changes. Proposed changes
are to:
Combine ESRM 480 and 481 (Field practicum) into one course (this application is accompanied by
one to drop ESRM481); change the title of 480 to “Landscape Plant Science and Sustainable
Management” to broaden the scope of the course with an emphasis in sustainable management of
landscape plants. The content of ESRM 481 will be incorporated into ESRM480 as lab/field
component. In the past, only a few students in ESRM 480 have been concurrently enrolled in ESRM
481. This new format should allow all students in ESRM 480 to experience practical aspects of
landscape plant science.
3. PSE 406—title change
“Natural Products Chemistry” describes better the syllabus and the material covered in the course.
The students will learn the chemistry of lignocellulosic biomass such as: cellulose, hemicellulose,
lignin and extractives and what kind of products can we make out of biomass. The old name “Wood
Chemistry” did not reflect explicitly the material covered during this course. Moreover, to
accommodate the currently state of technology, research and environmental changes, bioethanol
production will be covered during last four lectures of the course.

The Faculty voted to approve the curriculum changes:
1. The results of the vote to change the name of PSE 201 and CFR 505 to Introduction to Pulp,
Paper, and Bioproducts was 27 Approve, 0 Oppose, 0 Abstain.
2. The results of the vote to combine ESRM 480 and 481 and to change the name of the course to
Landscape Plant Science and Sustainable Management was 27 Approve, 0 Oppose, 0 Abstain.
3. The results of the vote to change the name of PSE 406 to Natural Products Chemistry was 27
Approve, 0 Oppose, 0 Abstain.
