PROVOST'S REPORT (Dr. Staszkiewicz) No report. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT (Dr. Alarcon) First let me extend my congratulations to the Senators that have recently been reelected and a welcome to new Senators for the next academic year. I believe the following have been elected: Faculty At-Large: Darlene Richardson, Michael M. Williamson, Bob Curey, Robert Stonebraker, Ron Juliette, Jodell Kuzneski, Carmy Carranza, George Walz, Devki Talwar, Krish Krishnan, Richard Nowell, Carol Bencich, David A. Foltz, Marie Twal, Elizabeth A. Kincade, John Woolcock, Herlinda Hernandez, John Baker, Janice L. Heckroth, Bernadette Walz, Christine Black, Kate Hanrahan, Tom Ault, Frank Corbett, Jr., John N. Orife, Judith Hagan Villa, Maurice Kilwein-Guevara and Richard McFerron. In addition to these Barbara Blackledge has been elected to the Foundation for IUP. I also want to report on the status of Senate representatives to the Sexual Harassment Policy Committee. I have named Terry Rittenberger and Bob Curey as the two representatives from the Senate to this important committee. Let me now share with you the disturbing news about the Sexual Harassment Policy. The interim Sexual Harassment Policy has been removed, as of March 12, and we have gone back to the previous interim policy. As you may recall the 1996 interim policy had been implemented in December of 1996. This policy had been drafted by a committee that worked for over 2 years to design a policy that was similar to other policies on campus. The policy was very specific and, although not endorsed by the different constituent groups and unions on campus, it had been reviewed by all groups, including the University Senate. The change to the previous policy has been very difficult to rationalize. Dr. Pettit send me a memorandum which indicated that he had received advise from IUPþs legal counsel, Ms. Linda McClellan after a specific incident. I was invited to attend an information session with Ms. McClellan that took place March 27. I was hoping to receive information at this session to be able to explain the need for such a sudden change. Unfortunately I have to report that after an hour of trying to obtain answers from Ms. McClellan about specific laws that the 96 policy violated, or details for why the change was necessary I am today just as perplexed as I was two weeks ago. The only three specific reasons she gave for the advice were: The use of panels was controversial or non-standard The 1996 policy was to cumbersome As a lawyer she felt she could defend the institution better against suits with the old policy I can only hope that the committee that will start the review of the 1996 policy can get better and more direct advice from Ms. McClellan. I also hope that we can change the current policy to one that most of the IUP community can support. OLD BUSINESS (carryover from March 11, 1997 meeting) There was no old business. Election of Vice Chairperson STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS RULES COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON STINEMAN The senate APPROVED the addition of three subsections to the Senate By-Laws as follows: Section I. Meetings -- (now reads) E. A majority of the membership of the University Senate shall constitute a quorum. Three sub sections to be added: 1. In the event a quorum is called for, a roll-call vote will be taken by the Senate Secretary, using the Podium Roster. Only those Senators whose names appear on this list will be eligible to vote. The Podium Roster will be up- dated in the following manner. a. The Senate Rules Committee Chair shall submit to the Senate Secretary an up-to-date list of all Faculty, Administrative, Staff, and Alumni Senators at least one week prior to each Senate Meeting. This list shall indicate all vacant seats. b. The Student Congress Vice-President shall submit to the Senate Secretary an up-to-date list of all Student Senators, both graduate and undergraduate, at least one week prior to each Senate meeting. This list shall include the effective dates of the terms of office for any additions and/or replacement senators, as well as indicate any vacant seats. Rationale: This will provide the Senate with an accurate membership head count from which to determine the number needed for a quorum. ACADEMIC COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON DUNTLEY No report. AWARDS COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON WHEAT No report. CURRICULUM COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON KUZNESKI The Senate APPROVED the following program revision from the Department of English: ENGLISH BA PROGRAM REVISION OVERVIEW The BA program in English is designed to provide each student with a solid foundation in literature and language by offering a course of study that combines structure and flexibility. The program aims to develop and integrate specific abilities and habits of mind connected with reading and writing: precise thought and expression; informed and responsible judgment; tolerant and perceptive awareness of other modes of thought and other systems of value; curiosity, and the research skills to explore adequately; historical, cultural, and social perspectives as an evolving part of one's focus; and an active and continuing dialogue between thought and feeling. To facilitate these aims, the department offers a program and faculty that will expose students to a combination of required and elective course work, in both traditional and non-traditional literatures, and in both creative and discursive writing. In addition to the major program, the student has some 30 hours of free electives that can be used for more extensive preparation in the discipline of English, for a minor in one or more other fields of study, or even to complete a double major. Both faculty and peer advisors will help the student to choose wisely in completing this aspect of the program. At the conclusion of this four-year course of study, students will have the requisite intellectual equipment both to decide and to implement future plans. The skills they have acquired are marketable in many areas: the world of business and corporations, government service, professional and graduate schools, publishing, etc.--all are options for the well-trained and literate mind. RATIONALE FOR CHANGE There are several reasons for the proposed changes in the English B.A. program: the need for more adequate coverage of major periods of English and American literatures; the need for more adequate representation of minority and non-Western literatures; the opportunity for students to develop specific interests through a sequence of connected courses; the opportunity for students to concentrate further in various areas (eg. film studies, creative writing, technical writing); the need for a wider range of programs within the major to accommodate different populations within the major (eg. the terminal B.A. student, the graduate school student, the professional school student); the need to reorganize the program to avoid overlapping and to assure adequate coverage in all areas offered; the need to expand course offerings to meet the needs of an increasing population in this major (from about 50 in Fall 1984 to about 180 in Fall 1996); and the need to move to course titles more widely recognized by graduate schools so as not to disadvantage our students. RESOURCES The proposed revision will not affect faculty teaching loads, and will not require any additional hiring or any additional space. CATALOG DESCRIPTION English Humanities The English Department B.A. Humanities curriculum emphasizes the traditional concerns of English literary study by providing a common core of four courses that provide students with a uniform background in English and American literature, after which they are offered a wide range of choices in four substantial areas of required study. These required and controlled-elective courses constitute 30 credit hours of a major that totals 36; the remaining courses can be any upper-level English elective offerings, but students are urged to explore possibilities carefully with their advisors so as to complete the program best suited to their future goals. Specifically, after completing the four prerequisite courses and the Liberal Studies English requirements, students must take one Period Course (Category A), one Form and Theory of Genre Course (Category B), one Alternative Literatures Course (Category C), one European Tradition Course (Category D),one Majors Authors Course (Category E), and one Writing, Speech, Linguistics Course (Category F); students must take a minimum of two courses beyond these group requirements. These two courses may be from one or more of the groups, or may be Topics Courses in literature, film, creative writing, or literary theory. Students, especially those for whom the B.A. is a terminal degree, are encouraged to seek an internship in their junior or senior year as a means of developing and demonstrating the skills they have acquired. Since the major can be completed with 36 hours of course work, students have 27-35 hours outside of the Liberal Studies requirements, depending on their foreign language status, of unspecified course work. Students should explore their options carefully with their adviser. Beyond the basic requirements of the major, opportunities exist for students to elect courses allowing them to concentrate further in such areas as writing, film, and British or U.S. literature.

The Senate APPROVED the following related program revisions: RELATED PROGRAM REVISIONS The English B.A. revision affects three other programs in the following ways: 1. The B.A. English/Pre-Law program will have the same requirements in the major as our revised B.A. program, while courses required in other departments are unchanged from the current B.A. English/Pre-Law program. See catalog copy below. 2. The only effect on other pre-law programs (in Business, Criminology, Economics, History, Philosophy, and Political Science) is the renumbering in each case of EN 213 to EN 212 under the English course requirement, as approved by the Pre-Law coordinator. 3. A few new B.A. courses (EN 213, 319, 337, 344, and 386) have been substituted or added to the controlled electives of the B.S. English Education program, replacing deleted B.A. courses, while four other courses have been renumbered (becoming EN 210, 211, 212, 434). See catalog copy below, approved by the B.S. program director and the College of Education's Teacher Education Curriculum Committee.

Related Program Revision from the Department of French B.S. in Education--K-12 French Education Proposed Change Replace the current EX 300 (3-credit) course in Special Education for Regular Educators with a specific 2-credit course, EX 301 (Education of Students with Disabilities in Inclusive Secondary Programs). Comparison of Old and New Programs This program revision will change the number of credits in the Professional Education sequence from 30-33 to 32. It will also change free elective credits from 3-8 to 4-6. Note: Under the old program, students pursuing a degree in French Education could meet the Special Education Competency Requirement by passing a written exam (for 0 credits) or by passing EX300 (for 3 credits). For this reason the total number of required credits in the Professional Education sequence was variable: either 30 or 33. Rationale This change is being made to allow a more appropriate course to be provided for teacher education majors who will work with secondary school students or students within a subject-matter specific classroom. It replaces an older, more generic course (EX 300, 3 credits) that attempted to reach teacher preparation students, K-12.

RESEARCH COMMITTEE--CHAIRPERSON NEUSIUS Chairperson Neusius presented the following Supplemental Workload Policy for Senate information: POLICY STATEMENT Subject: SUPPLEMENTAL WORKLOAD POLICY Date: 1/14/97 Distribution Code: A Reference Number: Addition Originating Office: President's Approval Deletion Provost and Vice President New Item for Academic Affairs 1. PURPOSE: The purpose of this policy is to establish an institutional policy defining the amount of total compensation that may be paid to employees for supplemental work. 2. SCOPE: This policy applies to all employees working on sponsored projects, community service projects, and Continuing Education programs. 3. OBJECTIVE: Federal Cost Principles for Educational Institutions, OMB A-21, require that each institution receiving federal funding have established policies pertaining to the compensation for personal services. This policy will define the total compensation that may be paid to employees for supplemental work. 4. POLICY: Additional compensation for supplemental work on sponsored projects, community service projects, and Continuing Education programs will be limited as follows: Faculty will be limited to the equivalence of an additional 25% of their academic term salary plus up to twelve workload hours during the summer in any given calendar year. All other classifications of employees who qualify for additional compensation will be limited to an additional 25% of their annual salary in any given calendar year. POLICY STATEMENT Supplemental compensation may be paid in the form of overload, summer school, overtime, Continuing Education Contract, or Centers and Institutes Contract. Sponsoring agencies generally do not allow payment of supplemental compensation for work on sponsored projects. (For faculty, requesting release time from regular duties is preferred.) In the event that overload or overtime is necessary, provisions must be included in the award document and must be approved by the sponsoring agency and the required university officials. A faculty member may receive additional compensation in the form of overload, at the rate as defined by the current bargaining unit agreement, up to a maximum of two three-credit hours during the academic year. Normally, this would not exceed one-three credit overload per semester. Faculty may receive an additional contract for up to twelve workload hours for summer term. No overload will be paid during the summer term. Exceptions will require the approval of the respective Dean and the Provost, and will place on the professor the responsibility of demonstrating that a specific exception will not compromise the academic standing of the institution nor have a deleterious impact on other responsibilities assigned to the professor. Employees that qualify to be paid supplemental compensation may be paid at a rate as defined by the current collective bargaining unit agreement or existing policies for management. Supplemental compensation paid on continuing Education and Centers and Institutes Contracts must comply with all terms as defined by the IUP Centers and Institutes policy. 5. DEFINITIONS: Supplemental Work: Any work assignment related to sponsored projects, community service projects, and Continuing Education programs, beyond the employee's regular duties and responsibilities as described by their job description or current contract. Academic Term: The nine month period of September - May which includes twenty bi-weekly pay periods. POLICY STATEMENT Summer Term: The three month period of June - August which includes six bi-weekly pay periods. Basic Salary Rate: Nine month faculty - the contracted salary amount for the academic term as defined by the current collective bargaining unit agreement. For all others, the annual salary amount as defined by the current collective bargaining unit agreements or annual appointment letters. Hourly Rate: The hourly rate of all employees will be calculated by taking the individual's bi-weekly salary and dividing by 75.0 hours. 6. RESPONSIBILITIES: The Offices of the Provost, Payroll, and Grants and Special Fund Accounting are responsible for monitoring workload, total compensation, and sponsored project participation. 7. PROCEDURES: Not applicable. 8. RECISION: Not applicable. 9. PUBLICATIONS STATEMENT: Not applicable. 10.
