TWO YEAR CAMPUS FACULTY SENATE MEETING USC-BEAUFORT

April 3, 1981

I. Call to Order

II. Correction/Approval of Minutes:

Motion to approve minutes was made by Professor Jimmie Nunnery. Motion carried.

**Vice-Chairperson of the Executive committee Jim Otten presented a motion from the Nominating Committee at this time in order that the Senate at large may give it full consideration. The Nominating Committee moved to enlarge the Executive Committee through the addition of one member-at-large position - this being to correct the current status and allow all campuses to have a repre­sentative on the Executive Committee. The motion was approved unanimously. Professor Otten then proceeded with the slate of nominees including the newly created position. They are as follows:

Executive Committee:

Chairperson - Jim Otten-Union Vice Chairperson - Billy Cordray-Salkehatchie Secretary - Elizabeth Baldwin-Lifelong Learning Past Chairperson - Pete Maness-Sumter Member-at-large - Rod Sproatt-Beaufort Member-at-large - Wade Chittam-Lancaster

Nominated for University Curricula and New Courses (Special Committee) was Professor J. T. Myers from USC-Sumter.

Re-nominated for the University Library Committee was Professor Tandy Willis from USC-Union.

Recommended Professor Jimmie Nunnery-Lancaster for his continuing service of the Systems Committee. This requires presidential approval.

III. Reports of University Officers:

A. Vice President John Duffy - Dr. Duffy stated that two campuses had undergone self-studies (Aiken and Lancaster) and that both had done very well. Columbia, Spartanburg and Sumter would be visited while Beaufort and Salkehatchie were updating their self-studies. Dr. Duffy said these studies represented great expendi­ture of thought and effort and served as a vital source for planning within the University.

Dr. Duffy called our attention to the letter C. B. Thomas, Jr., Director of Sponsored Programs and Research wrote. His letter is attached as Appendix I. This letter has Exhibits A, B, and C and they are attached also.

The issue of rank for Librarians has been approved by the Provost. It has been agreed to proceed to implement this after consultation with the Librarians.

Dr. Duffy also stated that the visit of Mrs. Sadat was one of the high points of the USC year and that all of the campuses were well represented.

B. Associate Vice President Robert Alexander - Dr. Alexander reported that President Reagan intends to reduce the Department of Education by 20-25%. Much of this cut will fall on Student Loans - BEOG. This would severely hurt enrollment on the two year campuses. Dr. Alexander then stressed the increasing importance of effective recruiting.

USC has been looking into expanding courses over tele­communications - Public Television 3 (PTV-3). Dr. Alexander reminded us that we do not want to conflict with the existing courses we already have, we seek only to fill in the gaps.

IV. Reports from Standing Committees:

Dr. John J. Duffy Vice President for Two Year Campuses

and Continuing Education Osborne Building USC-Columbia Campus

Dear John:

I am pleased to respond to your letter of March 18, 1981 and the concerns of its attached Minutes of the Two Year Campus Faculty Senate meeting held at USC-Sumter on February 13, 1981, relevant to the Research 1md Productive Scholarship grant. program at USC.

Before addressing the specifics of the Minutes, I deem it important to point out that the concept of "Large Grants" and "Small Grants

11 is something I personally reinstated into this cycle of the

Research and Productive Scholarship grant program after a h·i .1.tus of 111,111y y• .. .'~1r.s. L dld lhis Ll.S one of SC!Veral L<msi.dc'r.tlions designL'd tu promote more response to the call for proposals by everyone and as a change in emphasis by the reviewing committees away from what projects will produce subsequent outside funding. Thi.s last cons-Ld~ration has been greatly overworked by the committee in recent years, in my opinion. While not ignoring this altogether, I feel there should be at least equal consideration of how the funding of a particular project may improve the individual from an academic standpoint.

As for the points of the Minutes:

(1) EXHIBIT A, attached, is a list of projects recently sub­mitted by faculty from the two year campuses for the current cycle. You will note that they fall into both the large and small grant categories.

(2) EXHIBIT B, attached, is a list of recent awards to two year campus faculty over a period of three years. I can report on the successful proposals from (1), above, within a few weeks.

(3) EXHIBIT C, attached, is the total list of Research rrnd Productive Scholarship committee members. For purposes of proposal review, they are divided by personal discipline into three subcommittees (as are tl1c proposnls):

(a) Arts and Humanities (b) Social and Behavioral Sciences (c) Physical and Life Sciences

(4) The Office of Sponsored Programs and Research (SPAR) re­commends to the Office of the President each year the names of those individuals felt to be knowledgeable in their dis­cipline, such that they could exercise true peer review of proposals from any of the USC campuses. Our recommendation is based upon our working experience with individual faculty during their own grant work and through recommendation by the Deans.

(5) To my knowledge, there have never been any representatives _ on the R&PS committee from the two year campuses. However,

now that sponsored program activity appears to be on the move at the two year campuses, and the level of interest and faculty expertise continues to improve there, I would expect to see representation on the committee. However, I hasten to point out that such representation would probably not resu].t in any significant increase in the number of awards to the two year campuses, because I assure you that the funding percentage of two year campus proposals greatly exceeds that of the four year campuses or the Columbia campus.

I do see value in committee representation for the positive influence it could have in further evolvement of significant sponsored program activity at the two year campuses. Ti1ere­fore I will see if we cannot do sornetl1ing about this on tt1e R&PS committee for FY 1981-82.

I hope that I have responded appropriately to the concerns of the Two Year Campus Faculty Senate. If not, please let me know what additional information I can provide.

As indicated to you on numerous occasions, I have been to all of the two year campuses and am aware of the vital contributions they are making to the people of this state. The Office of Sponsored Programs is eager to assist them in any way we can.
