Ongoing issues

Large —may have 1 opening; vote will happen next meeting

  • o CLAS & Non-CLAS grant programs—grants for Spring 2021 (potentially)
  • o 2020-2021 Budget
  • We’re at 18K budget as of today—Provost increased us to 7K for $1000 grants per recipient (likely there won’t be travel; workshop for other possible funding: publication fees, equipment to use for classes, virtual conference expenses, etc)
  • Currently call is for non-CLAS applications & CLAS for Spring 2021 ($1000/ea)

 

  • Representation o Meetings with Administration

Chancellor Marks  Recap—receptive to IRC faculty remarks; Dr. Marks            asked us about meeting regularly and expects too; she is a good

listener; UCDALI wants to be sure we have presence on online working groups but it’s possible working groups have been dissolved in lieu of consultants

(Alpha Education out of San Fran, CA)

  • Provost Nairn       November 5th 11:00 – 12:00
  • Endorsement of MVV (Mission, Values, Vision statement) for accreditation—shared through Fac Assembly Thurs, 9/24/20, not yet public to all faculty; UCDALI will review before Oct 2020 meeting)
  • Titles Discussion; APS 5060 (Bethann, Jennifer, Dennis, Viv—titles committee)—goal is to have a drafted titles document (academic policy statement on our CU Denver campus level policy in terms of defining

titles; for eg., CU Denver CTT are not “clinical patient care” clinical faculty) o We need a Campus Administrative Policy (CAP) to work on titles for our individual CU Denver CAMPUS; not an APS

(system wide) title policy oCTT perhaps a “Working Title” has no legal standing; mostly honorary

  • MYCs (multi-year contracts)—is “at will” meaningful? Yes— they ARE contracts and NOT at-will contracts
  • Online teaching/classes
  • New CETL and CFDA directors—trying to schedule for October
  • Trying to get Chancellor Marks to stop by Nov 2020 meeting
  • Deans/Directors (New College of Business Dean, Library Director)–prioritize for Spring 2021 meeting with the NEW Deans
  • Other Meetings? (ODE Directors, CFO – Jennifer Sobanet/Todd Haggerty, Interim VCFA – Joanne Brennan, ThinqStudio, …) – how can we help as we are teaching 75%+ of CU Denver students
  • REGENTS—Forum Monday, Oct 5th meeting @ 3pm on zoom

o    Ad Hoc Titles Committee

APS 5060 – Faculty Titles (revision process)

Develop survey –burden on IRC faculty to be in person—average of 24% of classes be on campus? But only lecturers teaching (and students aren’t showing up so lecturers have to conduct on zoom anyway; does lecturer’s position DEPEND on the lecturer being willing to teach ON CAMPUS? L.

Dwight looking more specifically into this @ rates ON CAMPUS) o Campus Academic Policy 1011 – Faculty Emeritus/Emerita Designation o Relevant APS does not indicate CTT are eligible for emeritas status; need to revise to include former CTT (5L didn’t have

CTT in it) o APC (Administrative Policy Committee) needs to address this at Fac Assembly

o Sabbaticals –not covered oMulti-year Contracts –not covered

4:40      Bridge Network Liaison reports & OPEN FORUM \

  1. Hurson (Comm)—8 week classes; wanted to know if different deptmt by-laws have seniority policy about who gets these classes if classes don’t make (If 8 wk course doesn’t make, can a rostered IRC take a class from an adjunct faculty)

–Beth Pugliano has some examples of how this was handled in CAM

–do we talk to our Deptmt Chairs/Deans about this? They may have the say with no other oversight (per P. Laird)

–Does rostered IRC get preference over lecturer assignment (rank makes the decision and whether you have a MYC—required to teach x #/courses)          –what is the timeline for the decision???
