University President's Report presented by Dr. Elson S. Floyd (transcription on file in the Office of the Secretary)

The following resolutions were read and submitted to the permanent record of this meeting:

 
Student Council Resolution
0304R8 – For the Establishment of University of Missouri System Wide Health Insurance

WHEREAS, in today's world, health insurance is practically a necessity; and,

WHEREAS, most parents' health insurance plans will not cover their children after a certain age, usually around twenty-two to twenty-three years; and,

WHEREAS, Student Council feels that it is the duty of the University to provide affordable health insurance to its non-covered students; and,

WHEREAS, it is difficult for the University of Missouri-Rolla to provide affordable health insurance because of its small size; and,

WHEREAS, cost of health insurance decreases as the number of participants in the program increases;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the University of Missouri-Rolla Student Body supports the investigation, development, and possible implementation of a University of Missouri System-wide health insurance program;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the University of Missouri-Rolla Student Body recommends that under such a System-wide program, all University of Missouri System students should be offered similar health benefits regardless of which campus they attend.

PASSED UNANIMOUSLY, the 23rd Day of March, 2004.

Student Council Resolution
0304R10 – Urging the Educational Fee be Kept Low

 

WHEREAS, the University of Missouri Board of Curators will soon be approving the amount of the Educational Fee for the 2004-2005 Academic year; and,

WHEREAS, the amount of the increase in this fee is as yet undetermined, but may be higher than Student Council feels is appropriate; and,

WHEREAS, the rising costs of attending the University of Missouri are of great concern to the students of the University of Missouri-Rolla; and,

WHEREAS, student loans will barely cover the current charges for the Educational Fee, much less an increased fee; and,

WHEREAS, the amount of money given as both need-based and merit-based scholarships has fallen far short of keeping pace with previous Educational Fee increases; and,

WHEREAS, a significant increase in the Educational Fee will likely cause many students to be unable to afford to complete their degrees;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the University of Missouri-Rolla Student Body recommends that the educational fee be kept as low as fiscally responsible;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the University of Missouri-Rolla Student Body urges that the University of Missouri Board of Curators by no means increase the amount of the educational fee by more than five percent above the 2003-2004 in-state amount;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED a copy of this resolution be presented to each of Chancellor Gary Thomas, President Elson S. Floyd, Vice President Stephen Lehmkuhle, Vice President Natalie Krawitz, Vice President Stephen C. Knorr, Curator Mary L. James, Curator Thomas E. Atkins, Curator Angela M. Bennett, Curator Marion H. Cairns, Curator M. Sean McGinnis, Curator Anne C. Ream, Curator Connie Hager Silverstein, Curator Cheryl D. S. Walker, and Curator Don Walsworth.

Resolution Against Tuition Hikes Exceeding 3 to 5 Percent

 

WHEREAS, the University of Missouri Board of Curators will soon be voting on how much to increase tuition for the 2004-2005 academic year;

WHEREAS, some proposals for this tuition increase are as much as 10%;

WHEREAS, such an increase would raise the average UM-St. Louis student's tuition fees by $291.90 a semester;

WHEREAS, while students have experienced significant tuition increases for the past few years, student loan borrowing limits have not been increasing at the same time;

WHEREAS, UM-St. Louis students find current tuition rates nearly exceeding their current student loans;

WHEREAS, the number of available scholarships has decreased as the state has substantially reduced allocations to higher education;

WHEREAS, scholarships offered by the state like Bright Flight have remained stagnant for a number of years, not raising in value as tuition rates have increased;

WHEREAS, large increases in tuition will price some students out of completing their college education;

WHEREAS, it is essential to keep a quality education affordable for all students.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: the Student Government Association opposes any tuition increases that exceed three to five percent of the Current tuition rate paid by students.

Academic and Student Affairs

It was recommended by President Floyd, recommended by the Academic and Student Affairs Committee, moved by Curator Bennett, seconded by Curator Ream, and carried, that the following action be approved:

changes to the Collected Rules and Regulations 310.080 and 310.090 regarding Academic Tenure Regulations – Faculty Workload Policy and Instruction Workload be approved as follows:

REVISION: 310.080 REGLAR FACULTY WORKLOAD POLICY
  1. Each department[1] will develop a faculty[2] workload standard for teaching, research, service, and administration. The standard must specify the types of assignments and the distribution of the percent of effort in each function. The appropriate Dean and the Chief Academic Officer of the campus will review and approve the department workload standard according to the objectives of the department and the average instructional responsibility for the campus as defined in section D.
  2. The Chief Academic Officer will confer regularly with each Dean concerning implementation of departmental workload standards. Departmental workload standards will be reviewed as part of the five-year program review.
  3. The Department Chair[3], in consultation with the individual faculty member, will determine a faculty member's assignments and distribution of effort in the areas of teaching, research, service and administration relative to the departmental workload standard. Assignments among faculty members will vary to meet the objectives of the department.
  4. The average instructional responsibility for all regular faculty members on each campus will be 9 section credits per semester. The Chief Academic Officer will establish instructional benchmarks for each college and school to attain the campus average instructional responsibility goal of 9 section credits per semester.
  5. The assigned teaching load for individual faculty should be (a) aligned with the department's workload standard; (b) consistent with the campus goal for average instructional responsibility; and (c) commensurate with the research productivity, time devoted to individual instruction and advising, assignment of administrative duties, service assignments, and sabbaticals or faculty development leaves. Because of circumstances such as course cancellation, the Department Chair will modify teaching assignments; therefore, the actual teaching load of individual faculty will be calculated after any such modifications have been made. In calculating section credits or student credit hours, all forms of instruction will be included (such as off-campus, off-schedule, research supervision, clinical supervision, and independent study), although instruction for extra compensation will be excluded. Individual faculty effort in research and service will be calculated according to measures approved by the department. The distribution of effort for tenure-track faculty during the probationary period should be commensurate with departmental, college, and campus standards for promotion and tenure. No regular faculty member can be assigned either fewer than 12 section credits or fewer than 180 student credit hours per academic year without an instructional waiver requested by the Department Chair and issued by the Dean.
  6. Using a faculty activity system common to all campuses, each faculty member will submit an annual report of any faculty activities. The Department Chair will use the report, including the distribution of effort relative to the department's workload standard, to conduct an annual review of the performance of the faculty member (see CR&R 310.015). The Dean will analyze departmental outcomes using data from the common faculty activity reporting system and work with the appropriate Department Chair to reconcile any disparities between a department workload standard and departmental outcomes.
  7. The Chief Academic Officer on each campus will supply an aggregate report of faculty workload to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.

    [1] The word "department" refers to an academic unit.
    [2] The term "faculty" refers to regular faculty throughout section 310.080.
    [3] The term "department chair" refers to the leader of an academic unit.
