VI. Old Business<\/p>\n

None.<\/p>\n

VII. New Business<\/p>\n

Howard Patterson presented the first motion brought forward by the Academic Affairs Committee.\u00a0 Advising differs in the different colleges, as does the retention rate for first- and second-year students.\u00a0 This motion urges the administration and faculty to make student retention a top priority.\u00a0 Bryan Pearce moved and Michael Grillo seconded the motion.<\/p>\n

Motion on Student Retention<\/p>\n

PREAMBLE<\/p>\n

The\u00a0University\u00a0of\u00a0Maine\u00a0has the lowest retention rate (First Year students returning for their sophomore and junior years) of any New England Land Grant University.\u00a0 Some factors contributing to this outcome are beyond our institution\u2019s control (e.g., relatively low income levels of Maine families, relatively small population base within commuting distance, relative geographic isolation from major population centers).\u00a0 However, other factors are within our control, and we should attempt to address them.\u00a0 Two major factors are the quality of advising and the level of academic engagement, especially for First Year and sophomore students.<\/p>\n

The quality of academic advising students receive varies greatly, especially for First Year and sophomore students.\u00a0 Students in the first two years of study are frequently uncertain about their choice of major, often switch majors, take relatively few courses in their majors, and take many classes outside their majors with large numbers of students.\u00a0 All of these situations make it difficult for students to connect with their assigned advisors in their majors.\u00a0 These students need access to more consistent advising that will help them find and achieve success in the best program of study for them within the university.\u00a0 The advising center in the College of Education and Human Development, which advises First year and Sophomore students, has been successful in raising the retention rate of students initially enrolled in that college.<\/p>\n

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) has gathered data indicating that full-time students at our university spend an average of 14 hours per week studying outside of class, with the largest number of students reporting that they spent only 6-10 hours per week studying outside of classes.\u00a0 While these results are similar to findings for doctoral\/research universities nationwide, they are still cause for concern.\u00a0 The Institutional Studies office also reports evidence of a high rate of absenteeism in larger classes.<\/p>\n

MOTION<\/p>\n

The Faculty Senate urges the administration and faculty to designate increasing the retention rate of students in the first two years of study as a top institutional priority.\u00a0 Specifically, the Faculty Senate encourages colleges which do not currently have advising centers for their majors to study the need for creation of such centers, targeted to First Year and sophomore students.\u00a0 Further, the Faculty Senate urges all faculty to make efforts to increase student academic engagement by increasing (a) opportunities for active learning experiences during classes, (b) opportunities for students to engage in small group learning experiences both inside and outside of regular class times, (c) regular homework assignments with clear connections to both classroom instruction and course assessments, and\/or (d) opportunities for academic engagement with students beyond the classroom through such activities as field trips, student societies, honor societies, lecture series, colloquia, etc..\u00a0 Finally, the Faculty Senate urges the administration to adopt a regular schedule for the administration and analysis of NSSE to assist us in monitoring and improving the level of student engagement on our campus.<\/p>\n

Discussion:<\/p>\n

John Beacon distributed statistics on student retention that show that UMaine does better within the System for both retention and graduate rates.\u00a0 He pointed out that the retention rate fluctuates within two percent.\u00a0 One senator asked why U.S.M.\u2019s graduation rate is lower, and President Hoff answered.\u00a0 He suggested that because of the number of part-time students there, a 6-year graduation rate is unreasonable.\u00a0 Moreover, that rate is hard to calculate with students\u2019 transferring in and out.\u00a0 One can count really only those who start and finish here at UMaine.\u00a0 He is not against the resolution, and no matter what the rate, we can do better.\u00a0 Howard Patterson said that emails to him show that faculty are in support of this motion.\u00a0\u00a0Darlene\u00a0Bay\u00a0expressed concern about having professional advisors because it decreases faculty contact with students.\u00a0 Howard Patterson clarified the motion, saying that each college has the freedom to improve interaction between faculty and students any way it wants.\u00a0 Some colleges do very well while others do not.\u00a0 The issue of rewarding advising was raised.\u00a0\u00a0Darlene\u00a0Bay\u00a0feels very strongly that teaching has to be highly valued.\u00a0 Until it is, we\u2019re not going to improve retention.\u00a0 It was pointed out that resources for teaching at this campus will need to be increased in order to do (b), (c), and (d) of the motion.<\/p>\n

Vote:\u00a0 28 in favor, 4 opposed, 12 abstentions.\u00a0 The motion was passed.<\/p>\n

Howard Patterson introduced the second motion from the Academic Affairs Committee, which calls for continued printing of the catalog until all, i.e. parents, students, and faculty, are fully comfortable with the electronic form.<\/p>\n

Motion Regarding Printing of the University Catalog<\/p>\n

PREAMBLE<\/p>\n

Discussions are under way to do away with the printed format of the University Catalog, citing printing expenses and the speed with which the catalog becomes obsolete.\u00a0 Faculty response encompassed a wide range of concerns.\u00a0 Primary among these was the perceived difficulty of utilizing electronic formats for promotional purposes, specifically discussions with prospective students and their parents.\u00a0 Most faculty were not comfortable with the notion of having to gather people around the computer screen to look at the catalog, and many faculty noted that the relevant systems to support electronic access experience frequent outages.\u00a0 A number of faculty also thought that prospective students and their parents would like a printed copy of the catalog to take with them for reference, and that it is still premature to assume that all families would have convenient access to electronic materials, whether on the internet or on CD.\u00a0 Finally, the faculty also expressed concern about the idea that the printed catalog to some extent forms a contract with students that is identifiable to some period in time, and the very ease with which online resources can be updated also makes them inconstant in terms of forming a consistent body of expectations and regulation.<\/p>\n

MOTION<\/p>\n

The Faculty Senate recommends that a limited number of printed copies of the catalog be issued for promotional and reference purposes. The number printed should be based on (1) the number of student requests per year, (2) an additional number to be housed in the primary administrative units for academic reference such as College and Departmental offices and (e) an allotment, based on a complete poll, for individual faculty who need a printed copy.\u00a0 The Senate further recommends that materials used to solicit inquiries about the University\u2019s programs allow the prospects to indicate whether they would prefer to receive electronic or printed materials, thereby further reducing the demand for printed copies over time.<\/p>\n

Discussion:<\/p>\n

Matt Rodrigue indicated that ten of the fifteen student leaders are in favor of keeping the printed catalog for advising and individual perusal, though they understand the need to cut costs.\u00a0 Michael Grillo asked how much the savings would be if printing were discontinued.\u00a0 John Beacon said that 15,000-16,000 catalogs are printed annually at $3.00 each, plus postage.\u00a0 The total is anywhere from $50,000 to $70,000 a year.\u00a0 He added that some guidance counselors prefer to have the printed copy on their desk for easy reference.<\/p>\n

Jim Horan expressed concern that if the catalog is cut further and printed copies are given only to faculty, prospective students will not get them, and they should.\u00a0\u00a0 Tom Brann pointed out that paper copies allow high school guidance counselors to compare different institutions when they\u2019re advising students.\u00a0 Michael Grillo reiterated the concern that Web DSIS crashes when the system is taxed.\u00a0 Will the savings from cutting out the printed catalog guarantee access and computational power?\u00a0 John Beacon replied, saying that the catalog will still be printed.\u00a0 Christa Schwintzer raised the issue of ancient computers, which are also a problem if they don\u2019t allow access to Web DSIS.<\/p>\n

Jim Warhola made a friendly amendment to the motion to keep class lists accessible.\u00a0 Michael Grillo seconded the amendment.\u00a0 Howard Patterson stated the need to take care of this issue first and indicated that the committee would be happy to address class lists and other related documents.\u00a0 Jim Warhola withdrew the friendly amendment.<\/p>\n

Jim Horan indicated that he was going to vote in favor of the motion because it\u2019s half a loaf.\u00a0 He added, however, that if enrollment goes down, we\u2019ll have lost a lot of what we\u2019ve gained thanks to efforts by faculty, staff, and President Hoff to build enrollment.\u00a0 Dorothy Klimis-Zacas pointed out that some universities charge for their catalogs.<\/p>\n

Vote:\u00a0 45 in favor, 0 opposed, 2 abstentions.\u00a0 The motion was passed.<\/p>\n

VIII. Adjournment<\/p>\n

Michael Grillo moved that the meeting be adjourned, and it was so moved.\u00a0 The meeting was adjourned at\u00a04:15 p.m.<\/p>\n
