I would like to express my appreciation to Tom Schuman for agreeing to serve as the convener for both the faculty senate officers as well as the general faculty.
Dr. Choi is visiting our campus on his own time. He does not start in his official capacity as the University of Missouri System president until March 1. We owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude.
UM System Review Commission recommendations
An 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.

30. Agenda Addressing budget issues impacting Academic Affairs
Percent of overall GRA budget going to departments and colleges – is it keeping up?
What’s happening to Miscellaneous Instruction budget?
What’s happening with start-up funds?
What’s happening with process of budget-reductions effecting Academic Affairs?
- Why was January 24 important?

33. Concerns, continued 2) Miscellaneous Instruction
Rate sourced reductions between
Need backfilled by one-time (cost) dollars ever since
Those sources were transferred to Deans in Fall, 2016
Among our highest priorities to rebuild rate source for Miscellaneous Instruction going into FY18

34. Concerns, continued 3) Start-up Funding
Much the same story source has been vacated positions, plus SI monies
Now transferred to Colleges as requested
with authority plus responsibility
But, System-sourced SI has gone away
4) What is the process now?
What happened on January 24?

51. 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 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.”
