I. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Welcome and Announcements:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chancellor James Page will attend the January 16, 2013 Elected Members meeting, everyone will be invited for that portion of the meeting.<\/p>\n

At the last meeting the Senate discussed the preparation of a response letter regarding Performance Based Funding. That letter was mailed but no so far there\u2019s been no response from the System Office. The BOT has action on their agenda for the Jan. 23, 2013 meeting.<\/p>\n

Dr. Robert Dana commented about the recent student deaths or near deaths this semester.\u00a0 He stated that faculty has been remarkable with their sensitivity, support and help with these circumstances.<\/p>\n

II.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Approval of November 2012 Minutes<\/strong>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Vote<\/strong>: Motion Approved<\/strong><\/p>\n

III.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Committee Reports<\/strong>
\nBOT Rep \u2013 Robert Rice\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

BOT will meet January 23, 2013 <\/ins>and the Finance Committee will meet prior to the BOT meeting. It\u2019s important for Senate to be meeting with the Chancellor prior to that meeting. \u00a0The Performance Based Funding issue metrics will be discussed at the BOT meeting. There was a strong response from campus regarding the formula. A meeting with System Representatives was held recently on campus as part of the initiatives, goals and actions <\/ins>of the BOT, there is an administrative review with two issues. One is the APO for Purchasing, specifically PCards, secondly, a centralization of all travel with a bid system for a single travel agent. Campuses would be required to use a specific agency. Most campuses don\u2019t have an issue with the travel constraints or new purchase procedures since they have little funded research and don\u2019t have extension services, but several from UMaine commented why it wouldn\u2019t work well here. In regards to the performance based funding metrics, few campuses have concerns since the formula redistributes funds from UMaine the other campuses and the other Presidents think they\u2019d do quite well.<\/p>\n

Committee of the Administration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blue Sky Reports<\/strong>
\nBlue Sky Steering Committee \u2013 Bob Rice<\/strong> – Blue Sky steering committee meeting December 18.
\nPathway 1 \u2013 Mick Peterson<\/strong> \u2013 Welcome to anyone wanting to discuss signature programs. Looking to put together a response from the Senate and then send to committees for responses from as wide a group as possible.
\nPathway 2 \u2013 Jim McClymer<\/strong> \u2013 The committee met for three hours and looked at the metrics for building economic sustainability. Development gave a presentation on status of Development and how it can contribute to economic sustainability. The last capital campaign was $150 million. There is another campaign in the works for the UMaine 150 year anniversary. Development needs direction from the university community on what the needs are. Anything that can be done to replace E&G money is a good thing, if we get more money from donors to use for scholarships that frees up E&G.<\/p>\n

Q<\/strong>. Was there discussion of endowed professorships and the dire lack of faculty discussed?
\nA<\/strong>.\u00a0 That goes back to giving direction on where money is needed. The Senate should have input into the priorities for Development.<\/p>\n

Pathway 3 \u2013 Rick Borgman \u2013<\/strong> Pathway 3 is listening and trying to understand. There are three missions or charges; 1) diversity, 2) faculty\/staff development, 3) communication. The communication piece is what has been discussed and listening. In January there will be discussions regarding the role of the committee.<\/strong>
\nPathway 4 \u2013 Judy Kuhns-Hastings \u2013<\/strong> The committee met today. Through NEASC there were three areas where issue needed to be addressed. Enrollment Management which has been addressed; the alignment of academic programs with the mission and purpose; and campus wide outcomes through program assessment. Most of the time discussion has been spent on the third and in January faculty will be asked about that.
\nPathway 5 \u2013 Doug Bousfield \u2013<\/strong> Meeting regularly regarding infrastructure and buildings. Discussing how to decide what to do with historical buildings, maintain or repurpose. Trying to set goals on how to make decisions and at what point do they involve faculty. Any suggestions please contact.<\/p>\n
