Meeting and Discussion The committee met (by telepresence) with President-Designate Choi, President Middleton, and Chief-of-Staff David Russell on Nov. 22, 2016. President-Designate Choi indicated that he is aware of the climate at S&T and is seeking understand what UM System can do to support activities on our campus.

Concerns Expressed by the Committee Frustration of the faculty at the lack of tangible improvement in the situation, the time already invested in remedies, and the increasing urgency of addressing the situation with respect to faculty retention. President Middleton acknowledged the patience of the S&T faculty and stated that dramatic action may be overdue.

Conclusions President-Designate Choi asked for time to assess the circumstances. He will be visiting campus on Monday, Feb. 6. The visit will include an open forum with faculty, at 2:15 pm, in St. Pat’s B (Havener Center). We encourage our colleagues to attend and express their concerns directly to the President-Designate.

A status report that describes all activities to date was sent to all faculty on January 18.

UM System Review Commission recommendations An email was recently sent providing you with links to two important studies that were released at the end of the year: the University of Missouri Review Commission study and the Missouri Department of Higher Education’s review of missions and programs. The Board of Curators is just starting to dive into the UM commission study to prioritize actions based on those findings. The Missouri Department of Higher Education study is already being discussed in the legislature and we will soon see a bill introduced to codify the recommendations. [NEXT SLIDE]

Motion from Academic Freedom and Standards Committee: Whereas, individual academic departments have the primary responsibility for maintaining and improving academic excellence Whereas, some departments have recently seen substantial increases in enrollment without corresponding increases in funding Whereas, inadequate resources can have a negative impact on academic standards, along with student, staff and faculty morale and productivity Therefore, be it resolved, the S&T Faculty Senate recommends the following statement be added to section 300.030.D.1.c of the University of Missouri Collected Rules and Regulations: “A department may limit enrollment to ensure it remains commensurate with the available resources.”
