The State University of New York

Faculty Senate Bulletin Fall 2005

Dear Colleagues
I am honored to be your Acting Chancellor
and anxious to meet as many of you as possible
over the coming months. In my first 10 weeks,
I have managed to meet almost all of our
Presidents and commenced visiting a good
number of the campuses as an active listener.
From a system perspective, we remain
focused on access, affordability and quality
of learning. I am confident we can continue
to make excellent progress in these areas and
many others by working together.
One of my highest priorities is increasing
the number of tenure track faculty across the
university. The faculty we have across the
system are excellent. But, we need more
permanent members of the university community
engaged in teaching, research and
service. I am committed to securing the
resources for increasing our permanent faculty
numbers to fuel the next phase of SUNY’s
growth and improvement.
How will we do this? One way is by implementing
a rational tuition policy like the SUNY
Tuition Guarantee, which we proposed to the
Legislature last year. If the Tuition Guarantee
proposal is adopted, campuses and students
will be able to plan their finances long-term
instead of being subject to last-minute funding
changes. And, the additional dollars generated
by the Tuition Guarantee’s incremental tuition
increases will provide an additional source of
funding for investments in academic quality
including more tenure-track faculty. As part
of the budget process, we have other funding
proposals under development that will help us
hire more tenure track faculty and I will share
those with you soon.
I greatly appreciate the energy, talent and
commitment you bring to SUNY on a daily
basis. You have my
very best wishes for a
challenging and enjoyable
academic year.
Sincerely,
John R. Ryan
Chancellor (Acting)

SUNY Art Exhibition Series
In early October, I installed the 15th
exhibition of State University of New York
Student Art in the exhibition space of State
University Plaza. This exhibition consists of
100 works from 17 SUNY campuses across the
system. The art was selected by art department
faculty at each contributing institution. The
2005 fall exhibition has been well received
by early viewers to the exhibition and by the
outside reviewers who make the selections for
the Best of Show works. So I feel that we are
succeeding with our goal of presenting one of
SUNY's strengths to the wider audience of the
System and New York State.
The intent of the SUNY Art Exhibition
Series and On-Line Art Gallery is to showcase
the best of the submitted art from the SUNY
campus art departments. This determination
is made by the campus art department faculty
and the SUNY Art Exhibition Series Steering
Committee. The exhibits at SUNY Plaza are
displayed for the express purpose of enhancing
the image and reputation of the University.
The Steering committee is responsible for
making the final determination as to which
works of art should be exhibited.
In addition to the 10 student exhibitions,
we have organized 15 art faculty exhibitions.
The current exhibit is by our colleagues
at Stony Brook. It, too, is an outstanding
exhibition which clearly communicates the
quality and diversity of our faculty artists
teaching at Stony Brook.
We organize three System-wide student
exhibitions each year. The number of faculty
exhibitions varies from four to six per year.
For each exhibition a brochure, featuring color
reproductions of art from the exhibit, is produced
by Sara Wiest and Vickie Moulton. These
talented people work in design and printing.
The quality of their work is outstanding.
Additional help for the exhibitions comes
from Beth Buckner, Derek Waltz, and Maggie
Clairmont. Beth and Derek help with the
handling of the art and Maggie organizes the
receptions. The individual campus art departments
provide transportation to and from
Albany for each exhibit. We are especially
grateful for Chancellor Ryan’s support. Without
his help, these exhibitions could not continue.
He has been an enthusiastic supporter. I am
most grateful for all of the people in our
System who have supported this endeavor
with their expertise, time and budget funds.
In order to recognize the students who
contribute their art, we award three $1,000
scholarships. This decision is made by representatives
of the New York State Council of
the Arts from work selected for the Best of
SUNY Student Art Exhibition which is held
during the summer. It is a nice way to honor
our students and continue to present the
good news about the quality of the art
programs within the SUNY System.
The best works from each exhibition are
now available on the System Administration
website at www.suny.edu/artgallery. We
have developed a virtual gallery for the SUNY
System website. The new site is called the
On-Line Art Gallery. Once there you can
browse through current and past exhibitions
and have the opportunity to see the excellent
quality of the art being produced by SUNY
students and faculty.

SUNY Art Exhibition Series


The Portal Project
The State University of New York and
The Commission on Independent Colleges
and Universities are cooperating to produce
a web portal that will allow access
to faculty expertise within SUNY and the
private academic institutions in New York.
The data base will ultimately also include
resumes of graduating students who are
looking for employment, and of equipment
and facilities that are available for use for a
fee. The portal project will be of great value
to faculty. Faculty will be able to search by
key word for potential collaborators on
grants, or for equipment or facilities they
might need and for student assistants they
may want to hire.
The success of this project depends
entirely on the information contained in
the portal. We will be working with each
campus so that your campus administration
will be responsible for entering the
information into the system. But we need
each faculty member to give access to their
own information to their administration in
an accurate and complete form for this
project to succeed. Of course, any faculty
member who objects to being listed can
opt out of this data base. But the more faculty
who do participate the more accurate
and useful the data base will be.

Chancellor Search
The search for the new Chancellor of the State University of New York is underway.
During the August meeting of the Board of Trustees, the search committee for the new
Chancellor was selected by the Board. Trustee Aminy Audi was named Chair and past
UFS President Joe Hildreth was named Vice Chair. In addition to Joe, Carl Wiezalis,
President of the University Faculty Senate and Kimberley Reiser, President of the Faculty
Council of Community Colleges were appointed to the committee. So faculty are prominently
represented in the 14 member committee.
The Search Committee has developed a position description for the search. Some
important points of the description follow.
The Board of Trustees is looking for a Chancellor who will work collaboratively with
the Trustees and lead the University through visioning and strategic planning exercises
that are designed to enhance recognition of the University and strengthen its position in
the front rank of public higher education. Public outreach and advocacy will be a major
focus for the new Chancellor.
• The Chancellor is the chief spokesperson and advocate for the University.
• The Chancellor is responsible for the process of recruiting and evaluating outstanding
presidential leadership for each of the University's campuses and sees to the appropriate
staffing of the System administrative offices.
• The Chancellor is also a champion of education in the United States and around the world.
For a complete position description please go to the SUNY System website at
www.suny.edu and click on Chancellor Search.
A timeline for the search process has been developed by the Committee. As of this
writing, the position description has been nationally advertised. A search consultant has
been selected and candidates are being recruited. Candidate applications have already
been received. During November, the Committee expects to review candidate credentials
and select a final group of candidates for interview. In December, the group plans to interview
the selected candidates. It is the intention of the Search Committee to recommend
candidates to the Board of Trustees for consideration in January 2006. This timeline
should be considered a working document. If in the opinion of the Search Committee,
additional time is needed, the timeline will be amended to allow for additional review of
candidates. It is anticipated that a new Chancellor will be selected in time to take office
on or about July 1, 2006.

Message from
the President
By now all of you have returned to
faculty/staff responsibilities timed with the
beginning of the new fall semester. For
many of our associates on calendar year
appointments the demarcation line between
summer session and fall semester is less
dramatic. Whatever your work-year format
I warmly welcome you all back to the
critically important work of this public
university.
Each semester, with its new courses and
new faces before and around us, the new
term is both exciting and challenging. Each
semester is a new page upon which we
write the story of our discipline. Even after
forty years of teaching I still find the new
semester, the new courses, and the new
students very exciting and motivating. And
our peers, our colleagues, are comforting
members of our “Army of Enlightenment,”
fighting the wars against ignorance and
inability. Through education we energize
the students of the university, transforming
them into the fuels which drive the engines
of economic development, social contribution,
civic success and personal effectiveness
and happiness. Our work in support
of the individual and the society is unique
to the academy, unduplicated by other
experiences of life. Take pride in your work
and the many positive effects you have on
your students, your discipline and your
culture and your society. In the order of
things, the professors defining the academy
occupy a lofty level near the top of the
“table of social organization.” I try to keep
you, the faculty, in my mind as I do my
best to represent you and your desires for
the student, our State, our great public
university, our nation and our species.
So, what has been happening in SUNY
and faculty governance since your last
report in the Spring? Well, Joe Hildreth,
the President of the University Faculty
Senate for the last four years, has gracefully
retired to his home campus of Potsdam to
re-engage his first love, teaching graphic
art. I wish to publicly thank Joe for facilitating
my transition to this new office by
schooling me on the pathways and pitfalls
of University governance. A new President
never had a more sensitive and effective
mentor. He initiated the transition phase
long before he completed his own office on
June 30th. He introduced me to all of the
key figures at System Administration and
provided background on how best to navigate
the complex waters in Albany and
beyond. Joe made himself available to me,
but in most unobtrusive ways. He volunteered
guidance only when asked and
constantly stated that he did not want to
be in my way. By the time of the Summer
Executive Committee meetings, old and
new, all the pieces fell into place and a
strong foundation was set for the upcoming
year. Again, I want to thank Joe
for his superior work as President of the
Senate for the last four years and for helping
to bring me up to speed in preparation
for a most-challenging presidency. Joe will
continue on with us as leader of several
projects of critical importance.
The Executive Committee elected Achim
Koeddermann, Oneonta, as Acting Vice
President/Secretary, to cover the vacancy
in that office created by the completion
of an eligible term by James McElwaine,
Purchase. Jim has served the Faculty
Senate as the VP/Secretary with distinction
for three years. On behalf of the Executive
Committee and the membership of the
Senate I thank Jim for his exceptional work
and look forward to working with Jim as
Past Vice President/Secretary on the
Executive Committee. Jim will continue
to exercise leadership in support of the
University Senate agenda.
At the Fall Plenary meeting the body
will elect a Vice President/Secretary to serve
through the academic year 2005-06, as
required by the By-Laws. At the Spring
Plenary meeting another general election for
VP/Secretary will be held for a customary
two-year term. This will bring staggered
two-year terms of President and VP/Secretary
in synchrony. Our Parliamentarian,
Edward Alfonson (Potsdam) will help us
through this slightly complex matter.
Part of the July Board of Trustees meeting
was dedicated to a discussion about
the search for a new chancellor. Both Joe
Hildreth and I were asked to give testimony
to the Trustees about what the faculty would
like to see in a new chancellor and the
needs of the University in the present and
future. I believe that our testimony was wellreceived
by the Trustees and the observers.
I am pleased to report that Joe Hildreth
was asked by the Trustees to serve as Vice-
Chair of the Search Committee, Chaired by
Trustee Audi. Further, I, Kimberley Reiser,
President of the Faculty Council of Community
Colleges and the Student Trustee,
Josh Hyman were also asked to be members
of the core search committee. This is
the first time that three faculty members
and a student have been appointed to a
search committee for the chancellor. Please
know that this committee is advisory to
the Board of Trustees, and it is the BOT
that makes the final choice of chancellor. I
credit Joe Hildreth’s collegial work with the
BOT over the last four years with creating
an environment amenable to these faculty
appointments. Past President Stephanie
Gross, and now Josh Hyman, have been
exceptionally strong student leaders of the
SUNY Student Assembly and very effective
as members of the Board of Trustees.
The Provost’s Office of SUNY is always
engaged in a variety of important and laborintensive
projects designed to improve the
curriculum and the organization/operations
of the System. Provost Salins is a strong
taskmaster supported by an exceptionally
talented staff. Mission Review II continues
to dominate the Provost’s Office agenda.
Assessment of general education and the
majors continues along a well-publicized
timeline (see Provost’s Office topics on the
SUNY website.) In order to assess the
assessment process, Dr. Salins appointed
an Assessment Reporting Task Force
chaired by Assistant Provost for University
Assessment and Academic Initiatives, Patricia
Francis. I sit as a member of this group. We
have had face-to-face meetings and voluminous
communication related to assessment
and Strengthened Campus-based Assessment.
The committee has developed a
survey instrument which was sent to the
64 campuses to measure the strong points
and weaknesses of the system to date. Our
goal is to improve upon our processes.
I am pleased to report that I have
regular formal and informal meetings with
Chancellor Ryan and Vice Chancellor and
Chief of Staff Betty Capaldi about a variety
of joint projects of global interest to System
Administration. Additionally, I have had
many meetings with Provost Salins, and
Executive Vice Provost for Academic Affairs,
Anne Huot, and several of the other Vice
and Assistant Provosts about a variety of
issues related to assessment, Mission
Review II, retention of students, academic
freedom, alumni affairs, among others.
Since much of the work of faculty involves
curriculum-associated issues, it is understandable
that so much of the University
Faculty Senate work relates to the responsibilities
of the Provost’s Office.
In September, the annual Planning
Meeting of the Senate was held in Albany.
The Executive Committee of the Senate
also met during that time. All present were
very excited about the leadership and
membership of our Standing and Special
Committees and the important and ambitious
agendas advanced by the committees
and ratified by the by the Executive Committee
of the Senate. I am confident that
you will be pleased by the projects under
development by our committees.
The University Faculty Senate was pleased
to support an important SUNY-wide conference
on the retention of under-represented
students in SUNY on October 4-6, 2005 in
Syracuse. Over 200 individuals from across
SUNY attended this important conference.
National and State-wide experts on the topic
of retention presented to an enthusiastic
audience. The organizing committee hopes
to present conference highlights on the
Faculty Senate website and in our bulletin
in the near future. The Faculty Senate was
pleased to co-sponsor this event.
The Fall Plenary meeting of the University
Faculty Senate, hosted by Empire State
College, is scheduled for October 27-29,
2005 in Saratoga Springs. The Campus
Governance Leaders are invited to attend
this meeting along with the regular members
of the Faculty Senate and Executive
Committee and Committee Chairs. Both the
Chancellor and the Provost are scheduled
to meet with the Senate during this meeting.
The Executive Committee looks forward to
seeing all of the designated representatives
at this important meeting.
Last but not least, I would like to thank
Carol Donato, Senior Staff Member, for the
dedicated work which she exercises every
day to help organize the multitude of tasks,
projects and communications associated
with the operation of the University Faculty
Senate. Our effectiveness would be profoundly
compromised without Carol.
More detailed reports of the University
Faculty Senate’s work will be presented at
the Plenary meeting in Saratoga Springs.
Your campus University Senators will provide
you with detailed reports upon their
return. Please let them know how interested
you are in the work of the Senate.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss
concerns and suggestions that you may have,
as I am always pleased to establish personal
communications with faculty and staff.
Again, thank you for your exceptional
work in support of the mission of the
State University of New York.

Why Faculty and Staff Should Participate in SUNY Governance
by Norman Goodman, Stony Brook University
I am often asked why anyone should
participate actively in the SUNY University
Faculty Senate. As someone who has been
active in the UFS and its committees for
about a decade and a half, I can think of
several good reasons to do so. Some of
the reasons are professional and others are
personal.
On the professional side, there are intellectual
and academic issues relevant to
SUNY policy that need input from faculty
and staff (and students, I might add).
One doesn’t have to be antagonistic to
Administration to understand that the
perspective of administrators differs from
that of faculty and staff on many academic
issues. If SUNY is to benefit from the direct
“line experience” of faculty and staff, they
to have participate in the process through
which SUNY policies are developed and
implemented. The major mechanism for
this participation is the UFS. SUNY (its
students and its programs, as well as its
faculty and staff) benefit from joint participation
of faculty, staff, students, and
administrators in the establishment of
those policies and regulations that guide
and direct activities on the individual
campuses. A recent example of such a joint
effort is the development of policies affecting
General Education and its assessment.
Without the UFS (and the Faculty Council
of Community Colleges), working together
with System Administration (and the Board
of Trustees) over the past several years,
there would have been no faculty and staff
input to the draconian regulations initially
established in this area by the Board of
Trustees. But patient, consistent, and
informed faculty and staff voices played a
substantial role in convincing the Administration
and the Board of Trustees to modify
the earlier approach to General Education
and its assessment that would have had a
severe negative effect on our students,
academic programs, and the principle of
faculty responsibility for the curriculum.
Some examples of how our professional
expertise and “line” experience have played
a significant role through the UFS include
substantial input to SUNY budget discussions,
appropriate formulae, and relevant
policies; establishing regulations and policies
for approving new academic programs;
supporting and mentoring young faculty
in developing their research programs as
well as assisting in the retraining of senior
faculty for new lines of research; establishing
the criteria and screening candidates
for the various categories of Distinguished
Professorships; establishing and facilitating
the “Conversations in the Disciplines;”
providing an analysis of faculty profiles
on the campus in terms of gender and fulltime/
adjunct status; tackling the issue of
plagiarism and academic integrity through
a series of intellectual symposia on the
extent, causes, and possible remedial
practices. In all of these, and many other,
activities, which directly affect the individual
campuses, the UFS and its committees
have provided faculty and staff input to
administrative deliberations that would
have otherwise lacked the knowledge and
direct experience of faculty and staff about
these issues.
On the personal side, the UFS is composed
of a group of faculty and staff who
are warm, congenial, bright, and dedicated
not only to their own campuses, but also
to the value of SUNY as a system. I, personally,
have had the distinct pleasure of
developing dear and close friendships with
colleagues I met through the UFS. Though
we may differ on particular issues, UF
Senators know that they share their colleagues’
focus on the maintenance and
enhancement of the quality of SUNY.
And that shared view provides a bond
that helps to create social and personal
relationships. And, after the hard work
of UFS meetings, the evenings are often
pleasant and enjoyable social events. The
combination of shared intellectual activities
and pleasurable socializing facilitate the
development of strong personal friendships.
I treasure these friendships, many
of them as strong or stronger than longerstanding
friendships, because of our shared
experiences and values.
In short, the combination of taking
professional responsibility for SUNY
policies and activities that affect all
campuses by playing a significant role in
SUNY governance through the UFS and
its committees, and the social relationships
that often flow from that participation,
make active involvement in the UFS a
valuable experience for faculty and staff –
not to mention the benefit to our students
from our active role we play in helping
to set SUNY policies. Faculty and staff
should view participation in the UFS and
its committees not only as a component of
their public service responsibilities, which
it certainly is, but also as a wonderful
opportunity to play a role in having a
high quality SUNY system and to make
good friends who share their views and
interests.


RESOLUTIONS
140th Plenary Meeting
Environmental Science & Forestry
April 9, 2005

Sense of the Senate Motion
Respecting the New York College of
Ceramics Faculty Resolution of February
23, 2005, the University Faculty Senate
requests that the Chancellor and the Board
of Trustees of the State University of New
York exercise direct intervention in the
clarification of the college’s governance,
leadership, chain of command and the
respective responsibilities of Alfred University
and the State University of New York
in overseeing its financial stability.
140-01-1 without dissent

Motion from the Floor
Moved, that the Operations Committee
report on part-time and non-tenure-track
faculty, referred to the Executive Committee
for inclusion in the agenda of the Fall
2005 Plenary session of the University Faculty
Senate.
140-04-1 without dissent


Governance Committee
140th Plenary Meeting
Environmental Science & Forestry
April 9, 2005

Resolution in Support of Faculty
Evaluation of Administrators
Whereas over the past decade a movement
towards greater accountability and transparency
has occurred in higher education
as elsewhere, and faculty evaluation of
administrators is one response to this
increased expectation, and
Whereas the opportunity to evaluate college
administrators is an important faculty
prerogative, which, if pursued carefully,
can give faculty a stronger sense of participation
in the governance of the college,
and
Whereas evaluation of administrators by
faculty works best when all parties
involved consider it an attempt to improve
the health and strength of the institution
rather than targeting individuals,
Now therefore be it resolved:
That the University Faculty Senate affirms
the prerogative of local governance bodies
to engage in evaluation of administrators,
in a manner and on a schedule of the
body’s own choosing, and
That the University Faculty Senate affirms
the value, and endorses the practice of
faculty evaluation of administrators on
those campuses of the State University
of New York where it is regularly and
systematically practiced, and
That the University Faculty Senate recommends
to the governance body of those
campuses of the State University of
New York that do not now regularly and
systematically evaluate administrators
that they make provision to exercise their
prerogative to do so, and
That the University Faculty Senate recommends
to all local governance bodies that
their evaluation process and procedures
be designed and reviewed in light of the
best practices identified in the University
Faculty Senate's Governance Committee
Report, Faculty Evaluation of Administrators,
presented at the Winter 2005 plenary,
and
That the University Faculty Senate directs
the President of the Senate to send copies
of this resolution, together with the referenced
report, to all local governance leaders.
140-02-1 without dissent

Resolution on Academic Misconduct
Whereas throughout its history, the University
Faculty Senate has been an advocate
for the highest standards of professional
practice, and
Whereas academic misconduct on the
part of SUNY faculty brings discredit to
the campus, to the University and to the
profession, and
Whereas State University of New York campuses
have procedures in place to investigate
allegations of academic misconduct, and
Whereas the existing collective bargaining
agreement insures that persons accused of
academic misconduct are afforded due
process, and
Whereas public confidence in the University
is eroded when there is an appearance that
academic misconduct is not subject to
transparency, and
Whereas the announcement of a finding
of academic misconduct before the local
campus governance body at the conclusion
of the disciplinary process and after all
appeals have been exhausted, is an appropriate
venue for disclosure;
Now therefore be it resolved that the University
Faculty Senate conditionally endorses
the attached proposal by the Chancellor
to require that a final determination of
aca–demic misconduct - after all appeals
have been exhausted - be reported by the
campus president to the faculty governance
body during a scheduled meeting, and permitting
further disclosure at the discretion
of the campus president. The endorsement
of the body is contingent upon the incorporation
of additional language, either
directly or by reference, carefully defining
research, academic misconduct, and plagiarism,
along the lines of definitions used
by North Dakota State University.
Be it further resolved that the President
of the Senate be directed to convey the
conditional endorsement of the proposal
to the Chancellor.
140-03-1 without dissent
DEFINITIONS USED BY NORTH
DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY
“Academic or scientific misconduct” shall
mean fabrication, falsification, plagiarism,
misrepresentation of sources, breach of
confidentiality, or other practices that
seriously deviate from those that are
commonly accepted within the scientific
community for proposing, for conducting,
or reporting research; or material failure
to comply with a sponsor's requirements
that uniquely relate to the conduct of the
research. It does not include honest error,
or honest differences in interpretations or
judgments of data.
“Plagiarism” shall mean taking over
ideas, methods, or written words of another
without acknowledgment of and with the
intention that they be credited as the work
of the deceiver. Different academic disciplines
may have their own separate definition
which may add additional elements
that need to be taken into consideration in
an allegation of plagiarism. “Scholarly
inquiry”, “creative activity”, and “research”
shall be considered synonymous terms.
DRAFT POLICY ON ACADEMIC
MISCONDUCT – PROPOSAL BY
CHANCELLOR KING
1. In all instances where an affirmative
finding of research or academic misconduct
or plagiarism has been made by a disciplinary
arbitrator for professional staff in the
professional services negotiating unit or
other forum for adjudication for professional
staff not in the professional services negotiating
unit, and is no longer subject to appeal
[within the campus] under applicable
appellate procedures, there shall be public
disclosure of said findings. Such disclosures
should be made only on days when regular
classes are being held, and before an open,
regularly scheduled meeting of the campus
faculty governance organization. Other disclosure,
if any, [should be] is within the
discretion of the campus president, and 2.
Whenever an allegation of research or academic
misconduct or plagiarism is made
against an employee on the professional staff
of the State University of New York, the
President of the campus receiving said allegation,
or designee, shall notify me, or my
designee, within 30 days [, of the fact of the
allegation,] of issuing formal charges to the
employee regarding such allegations. [and]
[t] Thereafter, the President, or designee,
shall notify me or designee as to any findings
and conclusions made by the arbitrator
or other adjudicating authority, any penalties
imposed in conjunction with such findings
and conclusions, and the process for any
public notification which was followed.
