QUESTIONS FORWARDED PENDING RESPONSES

QUESTIONER-I: DATE ASKED: FORWARDED TO:Anonymous May 2016 Earle Traynham, Provost

Academic Affairs

QUESTION SYNOPSIS -I: What is the rationale for giving the interim dean of COAS a $40,000 (approximately) raise on top of a $40,000 (approximately) less than a year earlier when he was appointed Dean of Undergraduate Studies and Associate VP for Faculty Resources? Is it really appropriate and warranted to give raises totaling $80,000 to anyone who is appointed internally--that is, without having competed in a national (market-based) search?

QUESTIONER-II: DATE ASKED: FORWARDED TO:Anonymous April 7, 2016 John Delaney, President

University of North Florida &

Earle Traynham, Provost Academic Affairs

QUESTION SYNOPSIS -II: Given the budget issues discussed in President Delaney's message from the President on February 29th, is the administration/UNF Faculty Association still considering the electronic P&T dossier software, which has an estimated recurring cost of $25,000 per year?

QUESTIONER-III: DATE ASKED: FORWARDED TO:Pali Sen February 4, 2016 John Delaney, President

WRITTEN RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS

QUESTIONER-I: DATE ASKED: WRITTEN RESPONSES: Anonymous May 2016 Earle Traynham, Provost

Academic Affairs

QUESTION SYNOPSIS-I: "Do the President and Provost give their assurances that the search for the Permanent Dean of COAS in the Fall will truly be an open search and not have a predetermined outcome like the search for the Interim Dean position did?"

QUESTIONER-II: DATE ASKED: WRITTEN RESPONSES: Anonymous May 2016 Earle Traynham, Provost

Academic Affairs

QUESTION SYNOPSIS-II: “Why is the person in charge of the retention metric being moved to another position (Dean of COAS) when we have just finished last in the state in the performance metrics?”

QUESTIONER-III: DATE ASKED: WRITTEN RESPONSES: Anonymous May 2016 Earle Traynham, Provost

Academic Affairs

June-July 2016

QUESTION SYNOPSIS-III: Why did Dr. Falbo leave UNF? Has the provost met with anyone to sound out his or her interest in the position, Director of the Center for Community Based Learning, Dr. Falbo has vacated?

WRITTEN RESPONSE- I: Searching the COAS Permanent Dean

from Earle Traynham, Provost & Vice President for the Academic Affairs:

From: Traynham, Earle Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 5:40 PM To: Klostermeyer, William Cc: Jaffee, Marianne Subject: FW: Faculty Association question  

Answer: First, I need to correct a misstatement in the question. There was no “predetermined outcome” in the search for the Interim Dean of COAS. With that correction, the answer to the first part of the question is yes. The position has already been posted and it will be advertised nationally.

WRITTEN RESPONSE- II: Question about In Charge Of the Retention Metric

from Earle Traynham, Provost & Vice President for the Academic Affairs:

From: Traynham, Earle Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2016 5:54 PM To: Klostermeyer, William Cc: Coleman, Jay; Jaffee, Marianne; Moon, Daniel Subject: FW: Faculty Association question

Answer: It is important to remember that there is no one person “in charge of the retention metric.” Retention is not the responsibility of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. Retention belongs to literally every one of us, and first and foremost to the faculty. It does not matter what programs are put in place to assist students – and as I describe below, there are many – unless the faculty and the students take responsibility for student success, we will never improve our retention rates. We are very hopeful that we will improve our performance on the retention metric, but this will require all faculty to support this effort. For their parts, the Dean of Undergraduate Studies and the Associate Vice President for Enrollment have been working diligently on new or expanded initiatives to promote and facilitate retention:

June-July 2016

Restructured orientation programming. Orientation is now a more immersive 2-day overnightexperience that includes lectures, writing assignments, and placement testing in writing and math,which focuses more on integrating academically into UNF.

The revamped orientation is now part of a new Summer Student Success Strategy, which alsoincludes preparatory modules and skills-building classes in math and writing to help the transitionto the type of rigor students will see here at UNF. These approaches will take advantage of ourterrific Writing Center as well as the new Math Emporium.

Implemented a plan for intrusive first year advising in ACE, which includes a minimum of threemeetings during the first year with an advisor.

Advisors are also contacting all FTIC students with 90+ credits to promote and facilitategraduation.

There’s an increased emphasis on communication and interventions with students. As evidence ofthat increased emphasis, our Student Enrollment Communication Center in Enrollment Servicesmade over 100,000 calls to prospective and current students over the last year regardingadmissions, financial aid, orientation, registration, and events and tours. To put that in context,that center didn’t exist until two years ago.

Expanded our Supplemental Instruction program from 56 students in Spring 2015 to 942 in Fall2015, which offers innovative support for gateway courses and results in an average half-lettergrade improvement for students who attend. Even more investment is being made in the SIprogram for 2016-17.

Expanded tutoring to add evening hours, more subjects, more locations (including the library andthe dorms), and launched online tutoring for select subjects.

One Stop is now One Stop in Two Spots: One Stop now is also operating in the library’s LearningCommons, which provides greater reach and better support for students.

We are now strongly encouraging students, through advising, marketing, etc., to take 15 credithours per semester, or 30 per year. Academic merit scholarships are also going to be aligned witha 15-credit hour load. Our own analytics indicate that, even after controlling for academicpreparation and numerous other factors, students attempting more hours are more likely to beretained and graduate.

Launched the Provost’s House Calls program, in which 89 UNF faculty, staff, and administratorsvisited freshmen in the dorms midway through fall semester.

WRITTEN RESPONSE- III: Question about Director of the Center for Community Based Learning

from Earle Traynham, Provost & Vice President for the Academic Affairs:

From: Traynham, Earle Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 5:40 PM To: Klostermeyer, William Cc: Jaffee, Marianne Subject: FW: Faculty Association question

June-July 2016

Answer: Dr. Falbo’s contract was not renewed. An internal search has been announced; a search committee has been organized; the position has been posted on Oasys; and we hope to conduct and conclude the search over the next few weeks. In the meantime, Heather Burk has agreed to serve as the Interim Director of the Center for Community Based Learning.

Package Titles

• Package titles should briefly and accurately describe the type of change being requested.

• Changes to a degree or department should list that information in the package title; coursechanges should include the course name and number in title.

• Each package contains a summary where the request will be explained thoroughly. The Titleonly needs to contain the pertinent information.

Good examples: “Course Title Change for XYZ1234 Human Biology” “Credit Hour Change in Nursing Degree” “Addition of new Minor to Chemistry Track”

Spring 2015

ii (APC checklist links)

Bad examples: “Credit hour change” “Add New Courses to Degree”

“We Would Like to Change the Pre-requisites to This Course”

NEW DEGREE PROGRAMS

• New degree programs proposal require approval before being submitted as an APC workflowsystem package. • When creating an APC workflow system package for a new degree proposal, documentation ofsupport and resources information for the new program should be included.

For information on how the process works: http://www.unf.edu/acadaffairs/degree_programs/Process_Overview.aspx

Attaching a Program of Study to your Package

1. Find the Program of Study (POS) for your desired program changes in the course catalogon the UNF Website.

2. Highlight the text of the POS and copy into a blank word document.3. Format the document to reflect the POS as it appears online – be sure to include credit

hours for courses and credit hour totals if they do not appear in the online version.4. Demonstrate the changes you wish to make using the following notations:

• Use blue, underlined text to denote new courses to be added or changes toexisting courses • Identify these changes by noting ADD or CHANGE after• To notate course removal or old course titles, strikethrough the text and colorin red • Notate REMOVE for courses to be removed from POS and

TERMINATE for courses that will be removed from the catalog completely

i (APC FAQ)

APC WORKFLOW SYSTEM (WfS) – Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take for my package to complete the APC process? Your package goes through several stations at UNF and is voted on by the Faculty association before

moving to the state level for approval. This can take several months, depending on the time of year.

Please visit the following link for a workflow chart of the process {APC WfS - Authoring & Tracking

Packages }

Why did my package “TIME OUT” ? Why did I receive this notification? The workflow system is set up to notify all involved parties if a request has been in one ‘station’ or part

of the process for too long. This usually occurs when the committee that will review your package has

not met recently or if committees are recessed for holiday breaks or summer. This notification DOES

NOT means your package is in jeopardy of being removed or that there are any problems with your

submission. Committee chairs are also receiving this reminder via email. It will not affect your package

status.

Why do I have to upload a ‘Program of Study’ to my package? Any packages that changes, adds, or removes courses, that are part of any degree track, must include a

program of study document, marked up to show the changes you are requesting. The POS serves as a

visual reference to the changes you are requesting to be implemented as well as a helpful tool in

updating the program of study in Banner and on the UNF website. If your request does not impact a

program of study, be sure you are creating a ‘course change’ package and not a ‘program change’

package which requires a program of study to be uploaded.

Under what circumstances do I need to indicate that ‘additional resources are needed’

for my request? If your unit is requesting to change a course, create a new course, or create a new degree that cannot be

taught by the unit’s current faculty, additional faculty resources should be specified in this section of the

APC document. If the change or new proposal requires the purchase of materials, equipment, or

requesting physical University space, it should also be specified in this section of the package. Uploaded

support documentation may be required, such as a letter of support from an administrator, the Library, or

unit chair confirming the allocation of needed resources. If resources were provided to support this

package in a previous request, please reference the APC log number for that request to verify the

resources.

Under what circumstances do I need to upload letters of support in my package? Package authors requesting to create new courses that may be similar to current offerings in other units

should solicit a letter of support from said unit, affirming there is no conflict. The same is true of new

degree programs that could create conflict between units. If a change to a course or program, or the

creation of new courses or programs can potentially affect course offerings, FTE, enrollment, etc… in

another unit, please include a letter of support. Support letters from unit chairs or college deans can help

avoid package scrutiny at the different stations.

Spring Term - 2015

ii (APC FAQ)

I would like a course approved for General Education credit. What steps need to be taken? While the APC workflow has a check box to designate a course for gen-ed credit, the course must be

approved first by the General Education Council. Once the Council has approved the course for gen-ed

credit, a letter of support or documentation verifying the approval must be attached to the APC package

in the workflow.

My Department would like to add an Auxiliary Fee to a course. How can we do this? When creating or revising a course in the workflow, you can select that a lab or materials fee will be

associated with the course, HOWEVER, this does not automatically place a fee on the course. To add a

fee, a justification must be submitted to the Auxiliary Oversight Committee for review. You will also

need to prepare a cover sheet and a three year budget.

A submission form can be found at: http://www.unf.edu/uploadedFiles/aa/acadaffairs/budget_hr/MiscFeeRequest_Final.doc

Will I need to attend any committee meetings once I create my package? If your college has a standing APC committee, it is recommended that you attend their monthly meeting

to explain and answer questions about your package. Ask your unit representative when those meeting

are held. Once your package makes it to the University APC, you will receive an email to attend that

meeting, the month it is being reviewed. If you cannot attend the APC meeting it is imperative that you

send a representative from your unit who is familiar with your request and can speak on it.

If I’ve been asked to edit my package, how long do I have before it becomes unavailable to

edit? When editing is turned on for you to make package corrections, please complete this request within 48

hours. Once editing privileges are removed you will have to request them again from the station that

gave the editing rights to you.

TERMINATE vs. REMOVE. Which terminology should I use? The term “TERMINATE” is used when you wish to delete a course from the UNF course catalog and no

longer offer it at UNF. In addition to listing the termination in the package Program of Study, a Course

Action request should be included to terminate the course. This option is for courses that will not be

offered again in any degree program or as an elective. The term “REMOVE” is used to eliminate a

course from a Program or Concentration, for courses that will still appear in the catalog and that will be

available for departments to offer. Removing a course from a Program of Study only removes it from

that specific program as a requirement.

2014-2015

Program of Study (POS) Guidelines & Requirements

Rationale: The Academic Programs Committee (APC) requires academic units to submit a Program of Study (POS) accompanying requests that involve the creation of new or modification of existing programs in APC Workflow Packages.

For the benefit of the APC review process, the committee requires several important guidelines be observed when creating or making changes to a program.

Guidelines for Program of Study attachment: Several important guidelines must be observed when creating or making changes to a program of study for attachment to an APC Workflow Package.

1. The program of study (POS) attached to the APC packet must accurately describe thecurrent status of the existing program.

1. The current POS can be downloaded from the current online UNF catalog under“Degree Program” at http://www.unf.edu/catalog/ . Note: The POS does not includegeneral education or all other graduation requirements.

2. If it is necessary to show the complete degree including general education and otherrequirements, contact an academic advisor for a copy of the current Degree Evaluationfor the program.

2. When creating a new program or modifying an existing program, organize courses in standardlogical categories, such as Prerequisites, Core, Major Requirements, Major Electives, etc.The categories must be stated to avoid confusion.

1. Include the total (which may sometimes be the minimum when options are available)credit hours required to be completed by a student to meet the requirements of thecategory.Ex: Major Requirements (12 credits)

2. Should the program require a non-standard logical structure, clearly categorizecourses in understandable categories, such as: (for limited admission programs)Freshman Year Fall Semester, Freshman Year Spring Semester; (for cohorts) FirstSemester, Second Semester, etc. [See BM Music or BS Nursing for examples]

3. View POS’s in the current online catalog for examples of permissible categories, or,contact an academic advisor for further information.

3. All courses include the following information: course number, full course title (notabbreviated), credit hours in the format (XX Credits).Ex: ABC 3540 Introduction to ABC Studies (3 Credits) [not: ABC 3540 Intro ABC (3)]

2014-2015

4. When adding, modifying, or removing courses in an existing POS, follow these guidelines toclearly identify the type and nature of the change:

1. Courses added to the program of study should be underlined with the credit hoursper course (XX Credits) followed by the word “Add”.  The required credit hours mayneed to be changed for the POS’s category under which the course occurs.

2. Courses removed from the program of study should be struck through. The requiredcredit hours may need to be changed for the POS’s category under which the course hadresided.

3. Course modifications use the strikethrough and underline to clearly identify theelements of the course (number, title, credits) that have changed. If credit hours arechanged then the credit hours for the POS’s category under which this course occursmust also change.Examples:ABC 3540 Introduction to ABC Studies (3 Credits) AddABC 3540 Introduction to ABC Studies (3 Credits) ABC 3540 Introduction to ABC Studies (3 Credits) ABC Studies for Professionals (4credits)

5. Fill in any missing information for courses and categories.

1. If the credit hours are not listed after each course name, include them.2. If the total credit hours for the categories (Major requirements, Major Electives, etc.)

are not listed, include them.

6. When adding, modifying, or removing text statements on the POS, follow the guidelines in(4) above to clearly identify the type and nature of the change. Insure the language is clearlyunderstandable by students.

7. If the Program’s total hours for completion do not appear on the POS, include a statementindicating the total hours required to earn the degree.

8. Never submit a document that includes identifiable student information, i.e., a copy of astudent’s Degree Evaluation, as this is a violation of FERPA (Family Education Rights andPrivacy Act) regulations.

Faculty members preparing curricular requests to be considered by the APC (and subsequent entities in the UNF Curricular Governance Process) should consult with academic advisors who will be cognizant of the different methods currently available to retrieve POS’s which satisfy conditions above.

Faculty members who have questions should not hesitate to contact Shawn Brayton (sbrayton@unf.edu) in Academic Affairs.

POLICY ON JOINT APPOINTMENTS (FA96-38 (revised): Submitted by the Faculty Affairs)

March 6, 1997

The term “joint appointments” in this policy statement refers in general to the assignment of faculty to more than one academic department. The department in which the majority of the faculty member’s assigned activities take place is referred to as the “primary” department. Any other departments in which the faculty has assigned activities are referred to as “secondary” departments.

This policy is limited to those situations in which an individual holding a faculty line in one department is offered a joint appointment in another. It is understood that the faculty member involved in a joint appointment would be responsible to the college and department in which his/her primary appointment was made for all matters concerning evaluation, promotion, and tenure. The faculty of the secondary department, working with the chairperson of that department, shall vote on the offering of all joint appointments, and, where approval is granted, shall specify the types of participation and rights allowed the joint appointee in departmental governance in a letter to the faculty member. This specification will include the period of time the joint appointment will remain in effect. The faculty of the secondary department shall vote by secret ballot on these matters. All joint appointments are subject to the approval of faculty of the primary departments.

Report of the DL Task Force

Contributing Task Force members: Asai Asaithambi, Candice Carter, Georgette Dumont, Alice Eng, Lakshmi Goel, Saurabh Gupta, Alan Harris, Wanda Hedrick, Julie Ingersoll, Jennifer Kane, Philip Kaplan, Tammie Johnson, Peter Magyari, Lauren Newton, Richard Patterson, Richard Phillips, Zornitza Prodanoff, Katherine Robinson, Diane Tanner, Lance Taylor. Chair: Scott Hochwald

The following resolution was the raison d’être for the committee.

Resolution on Distance Learning Faculty Association has grave concerns about the speed, origin, and direction of recent Distance Learning directives. Such directives are issued with little (if any) consultation with faculty. The faculty voices on the Distance Learning committee have been side-stepped by having decisions presented to committee members rather than being made by votes at committee meetings. The directives are being presented to faculty without explanation as to their origination and without explicit votes of support from the Distance Learning committee or other faculty governance body. In addition, the directives do not seem to be merely the procedural implementation of university policies but rather have implications that affect every faculty member’s right and responsibility to design his or her courses according to his or her disciplinary and pedagogical expertise. More specifically, the directives impose restrictions, to which UNF faculty have never formally agreed, on course delivery models and related pedagogical and curricular decisions. We are also gravely concerned that a unit whose mission is to support faculty has become a unit that seeks to evaluate faculty outside of evaluative process delineated in the collective bargaining agreement.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the UNF Faculty Association calls for:

(1) a University-wide conversation about the future of Distance Learning at UNF;

(2) an immediate halt to the unilateral policy decisions being made by the AVP for Academic Technology and director of CIRT regarding distance learning;

(3) broader faculty decision making authority through explicit votes on Distance Learning policies within Faculty Association committees and the Distance Learning Committee;

(4) the careful and deliberate development of policies that imply potential restrictions on faculty judgments about their own pedagogical and curricular choices.

As the Task Force met there were changes in DL at UNF that were in line with the spirit of the resolution. At this time the report addresses those concerns that remain outstanding.

1. Certification of both faculty and courses.

i. Whether a faculty member is qualified to teach an on-line course should be a decision made bythe faculty member, his or her department chair, and any faculty body designated by the latter.

October 1, 2015

The general principle to be followed is that the faculty member is considered qualified to teach on-line if he or she is capable of designing a DL course that meets generally accepted standards by a UNF recognized distance learning quality measure instrument or an equivalent alternative. But of course a chair can take into account other considerations related to that faculty member’s qualifications and standing, including any subsequent evaluation of his or her success in implementing the course. Faculty who have already designed and taught DL courses successfully may be considered qualified to teach other DL courses. In cases in which a faculty member is considered for teaching a DL course designed by someone else, the chair may use other factors to assess his or her qualification (e.g. expertise in the course field, previous experience teaching on-line, general strengths as a teacher).

ii. In deciding whether a proposed DL course meets generally accepted standards, the chair may usea UNF recognized distance learning quality measure instrument as his or her guide (even, ifdesired, requiring the faculty member to submit the course for evaluation by that instrument). Itmust be recognized, however, that faculty retain autonomy in deciding which aspects of thespecific standards are suitable for a given course and for their teaching style: faculty should beallowed flexibility in the decisions about which course design measures to incorporate, as wouldbe the case for a face-to-face course. The Chair decides whether he or she will use the universitymeasurement tool.

2. The role of CIRTCIRT staff should provide DL advice, support, and training for faculty. As stated in their mission statement, the role of CIRT is ”to offer expertise, resources, and training to assist faculty in ways that enable them to develop greater capacities for using technology for teaching and research. CIRT also disseminates ideas, frameworks, and materials that apply pedagogical knowledge to the teaching and learning process.” CIRT should also incentivize the use of teaching technology by faculty in all modes of instruction. We believe this is best accomplished by giving faculty stipends to actively participate in workshops in which they learn how to use teaching technology appropriate to their disciplines. Additionally, CIRT should continue to provide support for faculty in as timely a manner as needed.

3. The DL CommitteeThe DL Committee should consist of two faculty representatives from each College except for the College of Arts and Sciences. That College will have four faculty representatives. The Associate VP for Academic Technology and Innovation should be an ex officio non-voting member of the Committee. The Associate VP for Academic Technology and Innovation can bring advisors to DL Committee meetings. The Chair of the Committee will be one of the faculty representatives and will be elected by the faculty representatives. The newly formed DL Committee should draft bylaws that reflect the reality that faculty are at the center of distance learning.

4. Allocation of the DL FeeThe DL fee should be used to fund three categories. Those categories are: student needs, faculty needs,

October 1, 2015

and infrastructure. The DL Committee will review on an annual basis DL fee allocations in previous years and solicit input from stakeholders as to current DL needs. The Committee will then make recommendations for the allocation of the DL fee for the upcoming year. At the end of each fee year the DL Committee will issue an accountability report detailing how the fees were actually used. The members of the DL Committee will share all reports with their respective Colleges.

5. DL Office HoursDL Office Hours should be held in the medium that is best for students. This could be in a faculty office or in a remote location where technology is used to conduct synchronous meetings. The total number of office hours will be determined by the collective bargaining agreement.

6. DL Class SizeDL class size should be set with the overall quality of the course as a guide. In many cases DL courses require roughly the same or even more time spent by the instructor per student than face-to-face courses. In general caps for online and face-to-face courses should be comparable. If there is a need for online caps to exceed face-to-face caps, then additional teaching credit should be awarded proportional to the class size in an equitable manner.

7. AssistantsIf assistants (coaches) are needed for DL courses, then the duties of those assistants will be formulated by the instructors of the DL courses. The instructors requesting assistants will submit their proposals to their Chairs. The Chairs in turn will prioritize the assistant needs of their Departments and forward those recommendations to their Deans. The Deans will determine the allocations for assistants. The DL fee should be used to adequately fund faculty assistant needs as informed by this process.

8. TestingThe testing of students is a major concern. It is imperative that the integrity of the testing process is assured. Faculty should have the autonomy to decide how their students are tested. Since a significant number of DL students are in Jacksonville, a Testing Center should be created at UNF using DL fees that will accommodate the projected number of students who could be tested locally.

9. Student SupportWe need a 24-7 site for student support. This needs to be planned by the DL Committee and funded by the DL fee.

The process for receiving the honor is as follows: A nomination is sent to the department chair (or equivalent) including the emeritus title requested; self-nominations are allowed. The tenured faculty of the department or library faculty at the rank of associate or above shall vote by secret ballot on the candidacy. If the majority of the department’s tenured faculty or library faculty approves, the vote of the faculty, the candidate’s vita, and recommendation letters from the department chair or equivalent and college or library dean shall be forwarded to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for final approval and action.
