Doermers Underwrite Career Development Center in the M.B.A. Program

Richard T. Doermer, retired chair­man and chief executive officer of Summit Bank and Summcorp of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and his wife, Mary Louise, have made a gift to the Univer­sity of Notre Dame that will under­write a new career development cen­ter in the Master's of Business Administration program.

To be located in the Siegfried Building of the College of Business Administra­tion complex, the Doermer Family MBA Career Development Center will provide on-campus recruiting services for the some 300 students enrolled in Notre Dame's MBA program beginning next fall. The center will feature state­of-the-art interviewing facilities, in­cluding 10-12 interview rooms, a large conference room, telephone and fax access, modem capability and a break room for recruiters. Other features of the center will be a computerized sys­tem for on-line resume review and in­terview scheduling, and videocon­ferencing equipment - including sites in Europe and South America - that will enable company representatives and students to conduct interviews from off-campus locations.

Dick Doermer is a 1944 Notre Dame graduate who served in the Navy dur­ing World War II. After earning a law degree from Cornell University in 1949, he spent seven years practicing law in his hometown of Fort Wayne.

Doermer joined Dime Trust and Sav­ings Bank of Fort Wayne in 1956 and spent 37 years with the bank, which changed its name to Indiana Bank and Trust Company in 1958 and merged with Peoples Trust Company to become Summit Bank in 1983. The bank and its affiliated holding com­pany, Summcorp, which then owned 12 banks in central and northern Indiana, merged into NBD Corporation in 1992. It now is a part of Bank One Corporation.

T H E

A member of Notre Dame's Advisory Council for the College of Business Ad­ministration since 1987, Doermer also is a member of the Notre Dame Mono­gram Club and the Sorin Society; and he has served as chair of University de­velopment campaigns in the Fort Wayne area. His other civic activities have included service on the boards of St. Francis University, the Indepen­dent Colleges of Indiana, Fort Wayne Community Foundation, Fort Wayne Parks Foundation, and chairmanship of the board of the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce, the United Way of Allen County, and the Public Employees' Retirement Fund of Indi­ana, an $8 billion retirement and dis­ability income fund for state, county and municipal employees.

Doermer also has served as a director with 15 regional banks and other com­panies, including Mutual Security Life Insurance Company; Avis Industrial Corporation; Rea Magnet Wire Com­pany, Inc.; Journal Gazette Publishing Company; Our Sunday Visitor, Inc.; U.S. Broach & Machine Company; American Baler Company; and Pacific Forge Company.

Mary Louise Doermer, "Weezie," earned a bachelor's degree in educa­tion from William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia, and has been involved in many community and cultural activities in Fort Wayne. The Doermers have a daughter, Kathryn, and a son, Richard, a 1973 alumnus of Notre Dame who practices law in Chicago.

Reilly Appointed Chair of New O'Hara Society

Robert E. Reilly, Jr., president of DHR International Inc., has been appointed chair of the newly established John Cardinal O'Hara Society by University ofNotre Dame president, Rev. Edward A. Malloy, C.S.C.

Reilly has been president of DHR International, an executive search firm in Chicago, since 1994. Before joining DHR, he worked for seven years in LaSalle Partners, a real estate services firm. He is married to the former Lindy Decio, also a 1977 Notre Dame graduate, who received a mas­ters degree from the University in 1980. The Reillys have four children, one of whom, Brittan, is a junior at Notre Dame.

The O'Hara Society is named in honor of John Cardinal O'Hara, C.S.C., the first dean of Notre Dame's College of Business Administration, who later served as the University's 13th presi­dent and as cardinal archbishop of Philadelphia. Cardinal O'Hara's tomb is in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart.

Academic Affirmative Action Committee

Annual Report

I. Faculty Recruitment and Hiring of 'if omen and Ethnic Minorities

Report of the Subcommittee on Re­cruitment and Hiring 1997-98 Report

The progress made during the 1997-98 academic year to diversify the teaching and research faculty at Notre Dame saw mixed results. On the positive side, enhanced recruitment efforts by the Arts and Letters faculty resulted in eight women joining the faculty in fall 1998. At the same time, two women were added to the College of Science faculty. Unfortunately, similar gains were not realized in the other colleges. Furthermore, review of recruitment activities for the past year reveals that several departments across the Uni­versity invited no racial or ethnic minorities for on-campus interviews. Overall, 18% of Notre Dame's regular teaching and research faculty is female and 11.9% is minority. These numbers are disappointing.

While the percentage of women and racial and ethnic minorities are not as high as Notre Dame would like it is important to note that gains ar~ being made at the assistant professor level. For instance, while the 11.9% of the regular teaching and research faculty is minority, at the assistant professor level-which mirrors Notre Dame's hiring over the last six years-that number changes to 18.7%. The num­bers change dramatically in the hiring pattern for women as well. While women comprise 18% of the regular teaching and research faculty, at the assistant professor leve135.5% are women. The point of this snapshot of Notre Dame's tenure track assistant professors is not to suggest that we've achieved our goals, but to show that increased recruitment and hiring ef­forts, target of opportunity hiring, and faculty support is beginning to change the demographic picture of the Uni­versity's faculty. While the overall composition in terms of minorities and

women is less than acceptable, recent hiring patterns suggest that the picture may be changing. The goal is to speed that up and to make every effort to re­tain the persons we hire.

This past year, the College of Arts and Letters was successful in hiring white female faculty. Of the eighteen new faculty hires, eight were white women. This represents 44% percent of the new faculty hires. Unfortunately, no ethnic minority females were ex­tended an offer. Furthermore, while sixty on-campus interviews were con­ducted to fill the eighteen faculty posi­tions, only one minority woman was invited for an on-campus visit. At the same time, somr: progress was made in hiring ethnic minority males to the faculty. Of the eighteen faculty vacan­cies, two were filled by ethnic minor­ity males. This represents 11% of the new faculty hires.

Despite these efforts, the faculty com­position at the College of Arts and Let­ters remains disproportionately white male (66.6% ). Women comprise only 25.9% of the total number of teaching and research faculty. The picture on faculty of color is more bleak with eth­nic minorities comprising approxi­mately 10% of the faculty. It should further be noted that several Depart­ments in the College of Arts and Let­ters do not have any ethnic minority faculty. These Departments include: American Studies, German & Russian Languages and Literature, and Music. I

The College of Science made some im­portant strides to diversify its faculty. In 1997-98, the Department of Biologi­cal Sciences added seven new faculty. Of the seven faculty vacancies, two were filled by women and one by an ethnic minority. The Mathematics De­partment added three faculty, includ­ing one ethnic minority. While the Department of Chemistry and Bio­chemistry failed to make any offers to women or ethnic minorities, five women were invited for on-campus interviews. There were no faculty vacancies in the Physics Department. While these numbers reveal that there has been some progress towards diver­sifying the faculty, women and ethnic minorities remain seriously

underrepresented. At the College of Science, the faculty composition re­mains 90.5 % male, 9.4 % female, and 12.6 % ethnic minority.

At the College of Business, the faculty composition is likewise predominantly white male. Of the 83 teaching and research faculty positions, 71 are filled by males (86% ), 12 by women (14%), and 14 by racial minorities (17%).2 While the number of ethnic minority faculty increased by one this past academic year, the number of female faculty remain unchanged. Six offers were made to fill seven faculty vacancies, including one to an African­American male, two to white females, and three to white males. The offers to the African-American male and three white males were accepted, while the offers extended to the two white fe­males were declined. Despite the decli­nations, the fact that offers were ex­tended to two female faculty candi­dates remains an encouraging sign.

The faculty composition at the College of Engineering is of particular concem. At present, the faculty is 98% male, 2% female, and 6.7% racial and ethnic minority. During 1997-98, there were no new hires, except for the appoint­ment of Frank Incropera to be the new Dean. Although there was no im­provement in the diversity of the fac­ulty, several departments made posi­tive efforts towards diversification. These special efforts included: (1) identifying female and minority junior and established candidates from web searches, as well as through personal contacts and networking, (2) inter­viewing several women for junior fac­ulty positions (2 of 6 interviewees in Chemical Engineering, and 1 of 7 interviewees in Computer Science and Engineering were women), and (3) un­dertaking serious efforts for spouse placement. In addition, three depart­ments, Aerospace and Mechanical En­gineering, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering, worked to iden­tify and recruit potential Target of Op­portunity hires. While these efforts proved unsuccessful in increasing the number of women and ethnic minori­ties, they nonetheless reveal a sincere commitment to diversify the faculty.

Finally, the College of Law made a concerted effort last year to increase the pool of minority and female appli­cants. Nine on-campus interviews were conducted, which included six males and three females. One of the males interviewed was a person of His­panic descent. Six offers were ex­tended, including four to males and two to females. Four of the offers were accepted. Two white males and an Af­rican-American male accepted offers. One of the female candidates accepted the offer, while the other declined.3

As the result, the number of ethnic mi­nority faculty at the College of Law has increased by one. There are currently three ethnic minorities on the law fac­ulty, comprising 9% of the total law faculty. Women remain underrepre­sented at the law school. There are five female faculty members, which represents only 12% ofthe total num­ber oflaw faculty.

In summary, while the appointment of College Diversity Officers to coordi­nate efforts within each college to increase the number of ethnic and minority faculty has realized some suc­cess, there is much work to be done. The faculty at the University of Notre Dame remains predominantly white and male. Enhancing the progress towards diversifying the faculty will require at least two things. First, the Provost must continue to use the bully pulpit to communicate the message that the current faculty composition is not in the best interests of Notre Dame. At every opportunity, the Provost should remind the college deans and department chairs that recruiting women and ethnic minority faculty is a University priority. Along these lines, the Provost should con­sider recognizing or rewarding colleges and departments that are particularly successful in their recruitment efforts. Second, the college deans must be­come directly involved in the process by reviewing the faculty applicant pool to ensure that it includes a sufficient number of ethnic minority and female candidates.

II. Faculty Promotion and Retention

Report of the Subcommittee on Promo­tion and Retention 1997-98 Report

A. Problems identified

The subcommittee on faculty promo­tion and retention conducted three fo­cus group meetings during the aca­demic year: one with tenured minority and female faculty, and two with untenured minority and female faulty. The chair of the subcommittee also met privately with three minority fac­ulty members. These faculty members were asked whether they faced special problems as women and/ or as mem­bers of a racial minority. Considerable frustration and anger was found and a wide range of problems for women and minorities were identified, which are listed below. Because the problems for African-American faculty have been identified as the most pressing area of concern, discussion will begin here. The focus group members voiced the following concems:

Problems for African-American faculty

1. Severe isolation. There are only ten African-American teaching and re­search faculty at Notre Dame. Several black faculty members expressed deep cynicism about whether the university had any interest in recruiting or retain­ing African-American faculty, beyond mere tokenism.

2. A completely inadequate number of senior African-American faculty who could help nurture the careers of jun­ior minority faculty. Senior faculty, asked to mentor students and junior faculty and serve as minority represen­tation on many committees, are apt to feel exploited and bumed out.

3. Inadequate support and attention to the African and African-American Studies Program, which might other­wise provide the sort of programmatic home that Gender Studies has pro­vided for women faculty.

4. Many departments lack the courses or areas of study that will attract Afri­can-American professors.

166

Problems for all minority faculty

1. Isolation.

2. Perceived lack of will on the part of the administration: there is strong vo­cal support for affirmative action, but few hiring lines.

3. Off-hand derogatory comments from colleagues about minority ethnic groups.

4. Non-minorities now teach minority studies; there should be an active ef­fort to find ethnic minority faculty to teach those courses.

Problems for women

1. There is a perception that several departments are hostile towards women being considered for tenure.

2. Some departments consider a small number of women a good showing.

3. There are no women chairs of any department in the university, and only a small number of women at a high level in the administration.

4. The university lacks a coherent hiring policy for spouses.

5. Many faculty, both male and female, cannot secure places for their children in the Early Childhood Development Center and there is no support in locat­ing infant day care.

6. The university health plans' policies on birth control are unacceptable to many women.

7. It is perceived that evaluators (exter­nal and internal) do not understand gender-based issues. Participation in gender-based teaching and service is not given serious credit.

8. There is a perception that search committees for senior/chaired posi­tions purposely include names of women who will not be available.

D 0 c u M E

Problems common to ethnic minorities and women

1. The lack of clear guidelines and guidance for tenure. Though this is a problem for all faculty, ethnic minority and women faculty report feeling espe­cially isolated and suspect they are of­fered less informal guidance than their colleagues. They also complain of the lack of clear mechanisms for com­plaint and appeal.

2. The CAP system: some CAPs have long terms of service (up to five years), making change difficult. The secret counting ofballots in some depart­ments also fuels gossip and mistrust. The membership of some CAPs in­cludes non-productive tenured profes­sors who come from a different aca­demic culture and do not understand the professional issues and publishing expectations for junior faculty.

3. Extreme insensitivity. Some departmental administrators berate minority and women faculty at public meetings, or conduct private reviews as reprimands.

4. There is a perception that some department administrators give better course assignments and greater research support, including summer support, to white male colleagues. Women and minorities are assigned low-level, demanding course work and excluded from graduate courses.

5. It is also perceived that ethnic mi­norities and women are asked to serve on more committees, often on commit­tees with little power to shape policy.

6. Chairs and senior faculty often in­vite incoming white male faculty to breakfasts, lunches, and other social events from which minorities and women feel excluded.

B. Suggested Solutions

Along with the problems, focus group members identified several potential models of support. In the College of Arts and Letters, the Gender Studies Program provides intellectual support for women scholars and opportunities for professional connections. One par­ticipant spoke ofthe superb research support provided by the endowed posi­tions for junior faculty. The Physics Department was applauded for its suc­cesses with spousal hiring. Part-time tenure track positions, provided for in the Faculty Handbook, were suggested as models for parents.

While many participants in the focus groups expressed skepticism about mechanisms for improvement-there was special concern that women and minorities not be asked to serve on yet more powerless committees-there was also wide support for some group which could offer support and guid­ance to women and minority faculty members.

The subcommittee has resolved to take the following steps:

1. Members will present their findings to a formal meeting of department chairs, and conduct a follow-up meet­ing within one year to assess progress.

2. The subcommittee will maintain a list of senior faculty willing to serve as informal mentors to junior faculty. The mentoring service would be com­pletely voluntary. It would operate across colleges and would allow faculty to indicate the kind of mentor they'd like to work with: for example, another female scientist, another Asian-Ameri-· can, another mother with young chil­dren, a colleague in another discipline with overlapping research interests. Incoming faculty would be informed of the mentoring service as part of their orientation.

We also strongly recommend the following courses of action to adminis­trators and members of the faculty. Again, because the problems for Afri­can-American faculty are the most severe, recommendations begin there.

Recommendations to the President and Provost

1. With the Dean of the College of Arts and Letters, make a substantial num­ber of new hiring lines (optimally, five; but at a minimum, three) available in African and African-American Studies. The African and African-American Studies Program should be given the authority to conduct these searches. The home department of any prospec­tive hire should retain a veto; but Afri­can and African-American Studies needs the ability to hire the requisite faculty to conduct its program. Experi­ence has shown that other depart­ments cannot be relied on to request and hire faculty in the needed areas.

These hires can accomplish two essen­tial goals: building a high quality pro­gram which will provide an intellec­tual home for African-American fac­ulty and allowing the burden of admin­istration and service to be adequately shared among qualified people.

2. Give the chair of African and Afri­can-American Studies a realistic bud­get to develop programs, including interdisciplinary African-American colloquia and other scholarly resources for faculty.

3. Provide minority faculty with extra travel funds which will fully cover at least two conferences a year, so that they can get the senior mentoring that is simply not available at Notre Dame. This would also be in the University interest in terms of recruiting new fac­ulty. As one African-American profes­sor wrote: "The more often people in the academy see minority faculty at professional meetings sporting their Notre Dame badges, the more visible Notre Dame will be in the [minority] academic community ... ! can't tell you how many times .I heard from folks, "Hmmm. I didn't know Notre Dame had any professors doing anything in African-American Studies."

4. The number of target of opportunity hires should be increased. Even though the subcommittee was not charged with the study of faculty re­cruitment, it found great demoraliza­tion among minority faculty because

there was a strong belief that many de­partments have no interest in hiring people of color. Indeed, it was sug­gested that existing departments often don't know enough about African­American studies even to recognize the scholarly importance of affirmative action candidates suggested to them. Information about how to apply for ex­traordinary affirmative action hires must be publicized for all faculty. If the University intends to recruit mi­nority faculty members, the proce­dures to follow for both permanent and visiting positions must be made clear, not only to department chairs, but also to each department's CAP and to other department members.

5. Because women and minorities perceive that they are not given equal access to information during the ten­ure process, the provost should care­fully consider tenure procedures at Notre Dame, especially as compared to peer universities. Appoint a task force which can recommend changes, par­ticularly in the areas of informing tenure candidates of the procedures and notifying them promptly of their status.

6. Support the Gender Studies programs with funding.

7. Change the selection of the Aca­demic Affirmative Action Committee from appointment to a combination of election and appointment.

8. Provide further administrative sup­port for information about spousal hir­ing and childcare. Make clear what ser­vices are available to all job applicants and incoming faculty.

Recommendations to the Deans

1. Instruct all department chairs to monitor assignment of courses and research support. Insure that women and minorities are fairly assigned to graduate courses and are given fair access to research support.

2. Hold departments accountable for the failure to recruit and retain ethnic minority and female candidates. Departments with a pattern oflosing or not offering women tenure should

167

know that an inquiry into the causes will be made.

Recommendations to Department Chairs

1. Inform junior faculty annually of their progress.

2. Direct CAPs to recognize contribu­tions to gender and ethnic diversity ac­tivities as academic service (candidates should have letters in their files indi­cating such service).

3. Protect junior faculty from excessive committee service and administrative jobs.

Recommendations to individual faculty

All faculty are entitled to vote on their departments' CAP structures. Ask your department to review its CAP struc­tures and consider new regulations:

- a maximum term for members of two years; - a minimum of five members or, in small departments, all tenured faculty in the department.

1 In all fairness, the German, Russian and Music departments had limited availability numbers. In German and Russian, the Afri­can-American and Hispanic figures for new Ph.D's is 0% and for Asians it is 2%. In Mu­sic, the availability numbers are not as dis­mal but still very small: African-American 2.1 %, Hispanic -1.2% and Asians- 8%. The American Studies department had higher availability figures for African-Americans (6.6%) and Asians (6.6%), but lower num­bers for Hispanics (1.9% ). 2 The ethnic minority faculty in the Col­lege of Business include: 3 African-Ameri­cans, 8 Asian-Americans, and 3 Hispanics. 3 It should be noted that nvo of the faculty hires, a white male and female, were hired for the 1999-2000 academic year. Thus, only two of the four new faculty hires will begin teaching t~is fall semester.

Faculty Senate Journal

May 6, 1998

The Chair, Professor Michael Detlefsen, called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM in room 202 of the Center for Continu­ing Education and asked Professor Jor­dan to offer a prayer. The Journal for the meeting on AprilS, 1998 and the Provost's Remarks to the Faculty Sen­ate (Appendix C to the January 21, 1998 Journal) were presented and unanimously approved.

Professor Detlefsen then made his Chair's Report, which is printed as Appendix A of this Journal.

This report covered three areas of concern.

1. The elections for the new members of the Senate are, for the most part, complete. The Chair will continue working with the Deans of the appro­priate colleges during the summer to fill vacant Senate seats.

2. The Provost, Professor Nathan Hatch, asked the Chair if the Senate would resubmit to the Academic Coun­cil, a revised "Position Statement Re­garding the Need to Extend the Non­discrimination Statement to Cover Sexual Orientation", which had been passed at the April Senate meeting. The Provost hoped to dissolve a what he perceived as a link between our call for inclusion of sexual orientation in the University's non-discrimination statement and the recent resignation of Father Garrick. This does not in any way change the statement approved by the Senate, which will be included in the Notre Dame Report. This will only change the version of the statement that is submitted to the Academic Council. This issue will be discussed later in tonight's meeting.

3. The Chair then covered the meeting he had with the Academic and Faculty Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees which occurred on April 30th. After a brief summary of Faculty con­cerns, he concentrated his remarks on the recent work of the Senate's Academic Affairs Committee

concerning the need for consideration of relative competitiveness in forming the Uni-versity's long range planning document.

There were no questions concerning the report.

The Chair then called on Prof. Dick McBrien to present a memorial resolu­tion (Appendix B) in honor of Prof Erskine Peters. The resolution was unanimously passed and a moment of silence was held in his honor.

Prof. McBrien then presented a memo­rial resolution (Appendix C) in honor of Prof. A. Brian Aikins. The resolution was unanimously passed and a mo­ment of silence was held in his honor.

At 7:13PM, the Senate was placed in recess for committee meetings.

At 7:47 PM, the Senate was reconvened.

Professor Detlefsen then asked com­mittee chairs to give their reports:

Academic Affairs. The Chair, Profes­sor Gregory Sterling, reported about three issues:

After the Chair's meeting with the Aca­demic and Faculty Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees, where the Committee's findings on the rankings of the US News and World Report were discussed, the Chair asked if the Com­mittee would add a sentence to their report. As a result, the Committee has added an additional sentence to the initial paragraph which reads: "This re­port and its resolutions are intended to introduce strategic considerations of relative competitiveness into the long range planning of the University."

The Committee has been working on the issue of lack of office space. The Administration has recently been ad­dressing the most urgent issues includ­ing a new building for the College of Arts and Letters, moving the math de­partment, and resolving the space is­sues for OIT.

173

The Committee has tried to formulate a recommended agenda for next year's committee which includes the future of tenure in research faculty at Notre Dame, graduate student stipends­especially summer stipends, and per­forming a thorough evaluation of the new TCE's.

Administration of the University. The Chair, Professor Clive Neal re­ported on one issue:

The Committee has developed a descriptive policy framework concern­ing the use of alcohol by Notre Dame Faculty. Professor Lauer has done a great job putting this together, and it will forwarded to the Executive Com­mittee for consideration at the start of next year.

Student Affairs: The Chair, Professor Ava Preacher, reported that her committee had nothing new to report to the Senate. They do recommend that next year's Senate Student Affairs Committee consider a review of the Academic Code of Honor as an agenda item.

Benefits. Professor Jeff Bergstrand re­ported that an adoption assistance pro­gram has been approved and will be made available in the near future. Al­though the details are not known, gen­erally, programs such as this, offer about $3000 per adoption towards le­gal, medical, and other fees associated with the process; with a maximum of two adoptions per year.

Select Committee on Foreign Visitors. Professor Detlefsen pre­sented a report (Appendix D) com­piled by the Committee that was ac­cepted by the Senate.

NEW BUSINESS

Professor Detlefsen presented a ver­sion of the "Position Statement Regard­ing the Need to Extend the Non-dis­crimination Statement to Cover Sexual Orientation" (Appendix E), that would be sent to the Academic Coun­cil, for approval of the Senate. The genesis of this version was previously discussed in item two of the Chair's re­port. This version to be sent to the Academic Council was unanimously approved.

174

Professor Detlefsen then took a few minutes to thank the outgoing Sena­tors for their participation and hard work during this academic year.

At 9:01 PM, adjournment of the 1997-1998 Faculty Senate was called for and agreed on.

Present: Bayard, Bergstrand, Bigi, Chami, Cleveland, Detlefsen, Down, Eagan, Fein, Frech, Hemler, Jordan, Lauer, McBrien, Munzel, Neal, Paolucci, Pickett, Preacher, Ramsey, Sheehan, Sporleder, Sterling, Sullivan, Urbany, Williams, Waddell

Appendix A

Chair's Report 5/6/98

Tonight's report consists of three items.

1. The first concerns the election of the new members of the 1998-99 sen­ate. For the most part, these have now been completed. Elections for the few seats that remain to be filled should be finished sometime this summer or by early in the fall.

2. The second item concerns a matter to be taken up later tonight-namely, the Position Statement on non-dis­crimination we passed at our last meeting and forwarded to the Aca­demic Council for its endorsement. The executive committee of the Aca­demic Council discussed it at their last meeting. Following that meeting, Pro­vost Hatch called me and asked if we might resubmit a revised statement

D 0 c u M

dissolving the perceived 'link' between our call for inclusion of sexual orienta­tion in the university's non-discrimina­tion statement and the recent resigna­tion of Father Garrick. This does not in any way change the Position State­ment that we as a Senate reaffirmed. It does, however, change the part of that statement that is passed to the Aca­demic Council for their endorsement. As mentioned, we'll consider this change later, during the 'New Busi­ness' portion of the meeting.

3. On Thursday, April 30th, I met with the Academic and Faculty Affairs Com­mittee of the Board of Trustees. After a brief summary of outstanding faculty concerns (ranging from the continuing problem of office space to the need to extend the non-discrimination state­ment to include sexual orientation to faculty concern over the decision not to keep to the schedules increase in Graduate School funding set out in the Colloquy 2000), I focused my remarks on the report of our own Academic Affairs Committee concerning the need for consideration of matters of relative competitiveness in develop­ment oflong-range planning docu­ments. There was a lively discussion which lasted nearly 90 minutes and there was general agreement on the importance of factoring considerations of relative competitiveness into future long-range planning.

Foreign Visitors at Notre Dame

In the fall term, the Committee on For­eign Visitors was appointed by the Sen­ate Chair to study problems faced by foreign scientists and scholars visiting at Notre Dame. For the most part, the committee conducted its discussions by email. This semester it designed and distributed a questionnaire to the faculty for the general purpose of de­termining how Notre Dame might en­hance its standing and improve its ef­fectiveness as an international center of research and higher learning. It looked especially for ways to make the sponsoring of foreign visitors more ef­ficient and attractive to Notre Dame faculty and for ways to insure that for­eign visitors who do come here leave with a good impression which they may then share with others in the larger international scholarly and scientific community.

Over 100 faculty responded to the sur­vey and a few more have promised a response in the near future. The Com­mittee divided the task of assessing the responses and on Wednesday, April 22nd met to discuss their findings. Two major themes emerged. The first is the apparent shortage of suitable housing for foreign visitors -especially, for short-term visitors. The second is a variety of apparent inadequacies in management of visa matters. The com­mittee believes that these matters are complicated enough to require further study. It therefore makes no substan­tive recommendations at this time but recommends instead that next year's Faculty Senate recommission the com­mittee to complete its study and de­velop a set of substantive recommen­dations. The current committee mem­bers have all expressed their desire to continue as members of this recom­missioned committee.

Faculty Senate Journal

September 16, 1998

The Chair, Professor Michael Detlefsen, called the first meeting of the academic year 1998-99 to order at 7:00p.m. in room 202 of the Center for Continuing Education. He offered the prayer that the Senate's work and the University's be blessed. After that, Professor Detlefsen asked each senator to introduce herself or himself and identify which department or unit he or she is with.

The May journal had been circulated in the meeting packet, so the Chair called for corrections and additions. He himself offered a correction, which the Senate accepted. Subsequent to passage, it was found that no correc­tion needed to be made. Professor Richard McBrien moved to accept the journal as corrected, Professor Gregory Sterling seconded, and the Senate agreed.

In his chair's report (printed as appen­dix A of this journal), Professor Detlefsen commented on several points. First, he had sent two resolu­tions which the Senate adopted back in May to Vice President and Senior Asso­ciate Provost Timothy Scully, C.S.C., for inclusion on the agenda of the Aca­demic Council, one regarding non-dis­crimination for sexual orientation, and another in regard to the US News and World Report ranking of colleges and universities. Father Scully told him that these would be passed on to coun­cil, but only after the journal for May had been approved and he had re­ceived an approved copy of each reso­lution. The Chair, with the journal having been passed, will now re-send what he had sent in May-with no changes in the resolutions. Later in the meeting Professor Jean Porter ques­tioned what Father Scully had done, saying that this was contrary to prac­tice and prerogative, and that the Sen­ate had voted to approve the resolu­tions in May. The journal's approval in September would not have any bearing on the action taken in May. Professor Detlefsen said he had told this to Fa­ther Scully already but he went along with the request Father Scully had made. He will expect agenda action on these resolutions immediately.

D 0 c u M

Next, the chair listed a series of con­cerns members of the Faculty on and off the Senate had expressed to him over the Summer:

1. The probationary status of the Women's Resource Center; 2. The recent and ongoing court ac­tions and difficulties of the intercolle­giate athletic program; 3. Notre Dame's new policy on drug testing of employees; 4. The instructional evaluation instrument; 5. The growing of, and spending of, the University's endowment; 6. Electronic services in the libraries; 7. The effectiveness of the Office ofin­formation Technologies (OIT); 8. The pressing need for office space, especially in the College of Arts and Letters, for faculty and graduate assistants.

These concerns will be reflected in the work of the Senate's committees over the coming year.

He reported that Vice President and Associate Provost Jeffrey Kantor and he had talked at some length about the space problem issue. The University does have plans to alleviate these shortages, but implementation of these plans will take a few years. In the meantime, Dr. Kantor was open to any and all suggestions the Senate might make.

E

The chair turned next to an issue the Senate had brought to the attention of the University community more than a year ago: the difficulty faculty, staff and students had at that time dialing into the Notre Dame computer net­work. At the time, OIT did not believe it was a problem. Yet over the sum­mer, the dial-in service was greatly expanded, and casual evidence now would indicate that the problem the Senate saw over a year ago no longer exists. He thanked Dr. Kantor for his efforts in improving this service.

Professor Richard Sheehan, after the chair had finished, asked what had happened to the annual financial re­port, as stipulated in the 1992 April Accords. Professor Detlefsen replied that Provost Nathan Hatch had told him in July that it was finished but not

N T A T 0 N

yet published. Professor Sheehan thought the Senate should pursue this, not in a confrontational way, but to emphasize the importance of this document and to living up to the agreement. Without hearing any dis­senting voices, the chair will so inform the Provost.

The Senate then broke for committee meetings at 7:15.

At 8:10, the Senate reconvened in full session, and the chair asked for stand­ing committee reports.

A. Benefits-The committee chair Professor Thomas Cosimano reported that the group had divided into three subcommittees to pursue three areas of inquiry for the year: 1. medical benefits; 2. retirement issues, including long term health care; 3. ad hoc issues: endowment spending rates, tuition raises, and other ques­tions that may arise.

B. Student Affairs-The committee chair Professor Ava Preacher said that their work will concentrate on two principal issues at first: 1. Issues associated with the Women's Resource Center; 2. Issues surrounding the University Honor Code. She also reported that the teaching evaluation instrument will be a topic for later consideration.

C. Academic Affairs-The committee chair Professor Gregory Sterling said this group will consider these major issues this year: 1. The academic implications of Notre Dame's possible move from the Big East to the Big Ten (and this may be a time-critical issue since this move may be completed soon). 2. The continued viability of tenure as an institution at a place like Notre Dame. 3. Space planning issues:

a. in the College of Arts and Letters b. in the College of Science c. in the University Libraries d. long term planning within the University

4. The committee will be monitoring several issues that were topics last year.

In discussion Professor Edward Manier pointed out that reconfiguration of space and information resources of the University Libraries will involve a combination of digital and off-site pa­per storage. These decisions will have a serious impact on the convenience and efficiency of faculty research. I recommend the Academic Affairs Committee develop a scheme for in­suring "grass roots" Teaching and Re­search faculty input to this decision making process. Such decisions should not be taken without an effort to recog­nize that much faculty research is done by individuals, acting as individu­als. Professor Sterling replied that the committee has decided to ask Jennifer Younger to attend an upcoming meet­ing to discuss space planning and elec­tronic service issues so he will be bet­ter able to answer Professor Manier's question at a future meeting.

D. Administration of the Univer­sity-The committee chair Professor Ikaros Bigi said the committee will focus on a few topics:

1. Continued work to implement a fac­ulty drug and alcohol policy; 2. The recent implementation of a new drug testing policy for University employees; 3. The implications of recent court cases involving Notre Dame's athletic program;

a. In regard to this topic, the com­mittee will seek further information, and perhaps may wish to invite Executive Vice President William Beauchamp, C.S.C., and/or Athletic Director Michael Wadsworth to an up­coming committee meeting to share their views. In a brief exchange be­tween Professor McBrien and Profes­sor Bigi, Professor McBrien asked if it would be premature to invite one or the other official to the next Senate meeting and Professor Bigi said the committee wished to explore the issue and seek other information first, be­fore any such step were to be taken. Bigi will certainly keep the Senate in­formed on their progress. 4. A follow-up on new rules that will govern the confidentiality of CAP committees.

There was no New Business. Manier called for adjournment, McBrien sec­onded, and the Senate voted to adjourn at 8:25p.m.

Appendix A

Chair's Report 9/8/98

Tonight's report consists of four items.

1. Following the meeting of last May, I sent copies of the resolutions concern­ing (i) expansion of the University's equal protection clause to cover sexual orientation and (ii) the recommenda­tions growing out of our study of the US News and World Report rating scheme to the Executive Committee of the Academic Council. This was by di­rection of the senate, which voted to send them to the Academic Council for their endorsement. When I sent them, I requested that these items be put on the agenda of the Academic Council as soon as possible. Following my re­quest, I received a reply from Vice President Scully saying that before placing the items on the Council's agenda he required 'official' wording. This means, it seems, wording that has been authorized by approval of the minutes in which the resolutions were passed. After tonight's approval of the minutes of the May meeting, such offi­cial wording will have been achieved and I will renew my request to have the items put on the Council's agenda. I should perhaps also add that I am in the process of arranging a meeting be­tween representatives from last year's Academic Affairs Committee, Vice President Scully and myself to help as­sure proper understanding of the rec­ommendations growing out of the USNWR study.

2. Since last May, I have received ex­pressions of concern from faculty both on and off the senate concerning the following items: (i) the action last year by the Office of Student Affairs putting the Women's Resource Center in some type of 'probationary' status; (ii) the recent notorious goings-on in the De­partment of Intercollegiate Athletics centering on the age discrimination suit by former assistant football coach Joseph Moore; (iii) the announcement during the summer that at least some Notre Dame employees will heretofore be subject to random drug-testing; (iv) the need to develop an effective, fair and publicizable instrument for in-

177

structional evaluation; (v) endowment growth and spending; (vi) electronic services in the university's libraries; (vii) the effectiveness of the Office of Information Technology and its staff; (viii) the continuing shortage of office space for graduate students and faculty in the College of Arts and Letters. The Executive Committee of the sen­ate discussed these (and other) con­cerns at their meeting of September 9th. It is expected that a number of these concerns will be reflected in the tasks undertaken by the senate's stand­ing committees this year.

3. During the summer, I received com­munication from Vice President Kantor concerning plans currently be­ing developed to alleviate the chronic and critical shortage of office space for Arts and Letters faculty and graduate students. Such plans can be expected to take a few years to execute, but there are plans being actively dis­cussed and considered. I thanked Vice President Kantor for his efforts in this regard.

4. During the summer, I was also in­formed by Vice President Kantor of new expansions of dial-in service for the campus' mainframe computer. You might recall that the Academic Affairs Committee met with Vice President Kantor about this during the 1996-97 academic year. At that time we were told that there would be no expansion of dial-in service, either then or in the foreseeable future. Happily, the think­ing on these matters seems to have changed and changed in very agree­able ways. The increase modem capac­ity and other changes in dial-in service (e.g. automatic logging-off of users af­ter a certain period oftime) seem to have almost entirely eliminated the difficulties of access experienced by most off-campus users for the past two to three years. I conveyed the senate's and faculty's .thanks to Vice President Kantor for his efforts on this matter. If the large volume of comment I've re­ceived is any indication, this is a very welcome change for faculty all across the university.
