CALL TO ORDER
Vice Chair Bedell called the meeting to order at
II.
URGENT BUSINESS
Senator Shapiro stated as a matter of urgent
business the action taken by the Planning, Resource and Budget
Committee to increase target enrollment next year by 9% should be considered as
a matter of urgent business. Vice Chair
Bedell asked if there were any objection to this matter being considered as a
matter of urgent business. There were no
objections from the Senate body.
Senator Shapiro explained that given the serious budget shortfall, overcrowded conditions of our main campus and a subsequent decline in quality instruction, he believes it is worth discussing and requested the Executive Committee to agendize this subject for further discussion with the whole Senate.
Sherri Newcomb assured the Senators that this increase was being proposed
at the request of the Board of Trustees who have asked
for a 5% increase in FTES target and $410 million to pay for it. Nanjundappa stated he would like to see a
commensurate increase in the number of faculty to be hired and that more
classrooms need to be built. Senator
Buck stated that at the last statewide senate meeting, the Senate passed a
resolution that reiterated the faculty’s role in enrollment policy including
ceiling and target requests.
On another issue, it was m/s/p [Pasternack/Fromson] to reorder the agenda and move item VII. A. ASD
02-113 Resolution in Support of Proposition 47 to VI. A. Unfinished Business.
As a third item, Senator Guerin requested 10 minutes of the Senate’s time
to receive input on what seems to be a willingness of the administration to
hire a temporary faculty in a MPP position as Director of Academic Advisement. There were no objections. Senator Guerin explained that this person
should be a tenure-track person because the position frequently represents CSUF
off-campus and hence must be experienced and very familiar with the curriculum. The CFA Fullerton Chapter Board passed a
resolution encouraging the search for this position to be limited, at least
initially, to tenured faculty.
Senator Arkenberg countered that many lecturers have been on campus longer than many tenure-track faculty and that they are just as committed, knowledgeable and qualified. Senator Nanjundappa assured the Senate body that CFA represents all faculty, but the direction that our administration is taking is the wrong one.
