Resolutions
o Introduced
 Resolution 13-29: Lowering of Tuition for Active Duty Military
 Faculty Senate Bill has been drafted. Craig This has gotten back to the question
on how many Active Duty Members are here at WSU (32 Active Duty
Members). Dr. Gordon and Dr. James are trying to assist us in getting this to
actually go through faculty senate. In order to this, we are looking for
innovative ways to get the cost per credit hour down, without the University
losing money. The following is a brief explanation of how this could happen: To
get the cost per credit hour down is by having every Active Duty Military
member who becomes a student here looked at in full-time status, no matter
how many credit hours they take. To cover the difference in price from this
lower number, I am currently working with the Foundation, the President’s
Office, and the WSU Veteran & Military Center to establish a scholarship to
cover the costs.
 Results:
o Student Government: Passed – 17 September 2013
o Faculty Senate: Will be with Student Government President This

week, they would like to be charged at a daily rate of $22/night.
o Result: Tabled by Student Government
o Interim: Have not heard anything from Fady in regards to this
Resolution.
Resolution 14-03: Establish an International Student Advisory Board

changes. It will act as an Advisory Board to the UCIE Director.
o Result: Passed by Student Government
Resolution 14-04: Establish the Selection of the Student Members to the Wright State
University Board of Trustees
 There is no formal policy to select student trustees and according to Ohio
Revised Code 3352.01 they have to be approved by the Student Government
Board of Trustees. This resolution gives a procedure to ensure that we are in

for the student and their success.

Sudkamp in regards to this.
Getting more student participation in Library/Campus Workshops
o Issue: It has come to my attention that students are having issues knowing how to run DARs or
getting around the University Websites.
o Info: Library has workshops for these things and others, like book clubs, will be working with the
library staff to see how we can help them promote their workshops.
o Update: Library is onboard!
Tuition Freeze for Year of Entry
o Issue: With the rising costs of faculty, staff, administration and increases in utilities and supplies,
the cost of tuition must increase. However, I believe there is a way to work out the cost of
tuition that would benefit both the student and university.
o Info: Kyle Powell has turned over some GREAT information and Zena Fadel has made some
BEAUTIFUL charts reflecting the cost of tuition and its increases overtime for both
Graduate/Undergraduate students. I will be utilizing that data and information, along with
information that will be received by meeting with faculty/staff, around the university to draft up
a resolution to freeze tuition for the year that someone starts classes.
o Update: Continuing to work w/ Zena on this. Resolution is taking a while to get together due
to work I have putting into Associate degree issue as well as Lowering of Tuition for Active
Duty. Resolution will be done by the end of this month. Following resolution completion and
review by Senate we will send out for 1000 signatures from the student body.
Hospitality Services donating leftover food
o Issue: Both JB and I spotted Tim Horton’s throwing away donuts and pastries at the end of the
day. Food should be given to a homeless shelter or to the on-campus food pantry.
o Update: Alex Snyder and Kayla Muncie are working on a Resolution for this.
5. Outreach:

2. Old Business:
a. I contacted Dean Sobolik on the CoLA policies for adjunct hiring and dismissal, and
specifically if there is a college standard for these practices. I pursued this endeavor on
the recommendation of President Sukhmanjit Singh. The Dean informed me that there
is not college standard for adjunct hiring or dismissal and that this is completely at the
authority of the individual departments within the college. I proposed the idea of
having a college wide standard for these practices, but was educated on the role of an
adjunct and who departments/faculty would not like to have staff or the University in
general dictate what could be seen as an extension of their “academic freedom.” I sent
an email to Mr. Singh requesting more information on this proposal, as he was the
reason why I initiated researching this possibility. I have yet had a response back from
Mr. Singh.
b. The Summer Civic Program proposal has been moving along. I met with all the
department chairs who I would like to participate in this program and all of them were
extremely excited and eager to assist. I have requested and received a document to see
what the estimated cost of the program will be. From there, I hope to create a planning
committee for this program and work throughout the rest of this semester as well as
throughout the summer on this to hopefully implement for summer 2015. On a side
note, Dean Sobolik has emailed me independently asking for updates and how the
program is going; this is great news as it shows the Dean is interested and supportive of
the program.
