DISCUSSION
School of Management wants a Dean with management background.
Associate Dean for Career Ed
Dean would be able to maintain some teaching responsibilities
Interim Position would allow the process
CIOS
Interim Dean should be internally recruited. Recruitment should be advised by faculty
Career Ed
Associate Dean would support that program but the Dean of PS would speak for both programs
Career Ed…They would like Statewide support such as what Dean Karen Schmitt provided
Library has concerns about placement of library faculty under Provost Services in the
Administrative flow chart with . The chart places the Library with Research
Development, Institutional Research, and Grant Development Unit. The library faculty view their unit as dissimilar to these units because the library has faculty and the library provides instructional services directly to students. Library faculty are supervised by a
Regional Director of Library Services. Library faculty would prefer to see their unit represented on the chart by the title of its Director, as the Schools of Arts and Sciences,
Education, Management, and Career Ed are represented by their Deans. They would also like to see their unit, represented by their Director, placed next to Ketchikan Campus
Director and Sitka Campus Director on the left side of the chart.
Natural Sciences
Discussion of need for Chairs and an Associate Dean, Chairs and no Associate Deans, or just Chairs. We will bring up this discussion again at a later time.
Social Sciences
Bringing in the Dean with Tenure.
John and Robbie are more open to longer term contracts vs Tenure
MOTION : FS writes a resolution declaring support for hiring a Dean with tenure
Seconded by Schulte
Robbie clarified that Deans could apply for tenure
ACTION : Senators were asked to solicit departmental position on Chairs Deans
Associate Deans and what role these positions would have. What administrative duties each level would have.

SOTL Proposed Revisions
DISCUSSION
Management: We favor the SOTL no major changes
Library: OK with as it is
Career Ed: The Union (UAFT) has not signed off on the implementation of the SOTL.
Worried about how evaluations will be based upon the criteria. Some solutions proposed by faculty include finding the right criteria that would meet the satisfaction of bipartite faculty. Workload/Activity report language should be consistent
Humanities: no comments other than those brought up from Career Ed
CIOS:
Education: feels the matrix is confusing
Natural Sciences: language prior to the matrix mentions Professional Development whereas nowhere in faculty workloads are Professional Development mentioned. Second page there is a mistype where is says scholarship of teaching…it should say scholarly work.
Sitka: Liked SOTL for putting files together. Lots of cross references available.
Evaluation letters that were returned stated that student learning assessment was not clear.
Ketchikan: no faculty are in favor of the SOTL in its present form
Subcommittee needs to be made to revise and examine SOTL to refine examples of
Proficiency Leadership and Growth (Schulte, Martin, Gordon, Gladhart, Dillingham, and
Wall)
