I. ACTION ITEMS:
A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 2020. Moved by Committee Chair Cortés-Vázquez and seconded by Trustee Una Clarke, the minutes were unanimously approved as submitted.
B. POLICY CALENDAR
1. Committee Report. Committee Chair Cortés-Vázquez requested the approval of the Committee on Faculty, Staff and Administration (CFSA) report.
Vice Chancellor Doriane Gloria provided further background on the CFSA report that consists of 86 employee actions, including 32 appointments and reappointments for tenure, 28 fellowship leaves, and 20 acting or interim appointments.
Moved by Committee Chair Cortés-Vázquez and seconded by Trustee Clarke, and following discussion, the item was unanimously approved for submission to the Board.
2. Amendment to the City University of New York Optional Retirement Program and Tax Deferred Annuity Plan. Committee Chair Cortés-Vázquez asked for the Committee’s approval to amend certain investment options in the City University of New York Optional Retirement Program (ORP) and Tax Deferred Annuity Plan.
Vice Chancellor Gloria stated, “The Board of Trustees of The City University of New York established an Investments Policy Statement, in 2014 establishing, among other things, guidelines for the University’s management of The City University of New York Optional Retirement Program and The City University of New York Tax Deferred Annuity Plan. In accordance with the guidelines established under the Investments Policy Statement, and as part of the review process of the array of investments funds within the University Plans, the University has been advised by its investment advisor, Cammack Retirement Group, to substitute the existing Templeton Global Bond R6 fund with the age appropriate target date fund in all of the University’s Plans. Cammack Retirement advised the University that the TIAA Stable value fund would be a strong addition for the Plan’s investment lineup to further help mitigate interest rate risk. The University committee charged with review of Cammack Retirement’s recommendations determined that the recommendations for the substitution of the Templeton Global Bond R6 fund with the age-appropriate target date fund and the addition of the TIAA Stable value fund in all of the University’s Plans was necessary and in the best interest of the Plan’s participants.”
Prof. Kerin Coughlin stated, “As faculty representative, I support this amendment and also would like to note the faculty’s appreciation for the administration’s ongoing efforts to safeguard the security of our retirement investments, particularly in the current uncertain financial circumstances.”

3. Amendment of the City University of New York Board of Trustees Bylaws, Article VI, Section 1 to Create the Title of Writers’ Institute Lecturer at The Graduate Center. Committee Chair Cortés-Vázquez asked for the Committee’s approval to amend the City University of New York Board of Trustees Bylaws, Article VI, Section 1 to create the title of Writers’ Institute Lecturer at The Graduate Center.
Vice Chancellor Gloria stated, “The University does not have existing tax-levy titles for employing individuals to work as lecturers at the Writers’ Institute; a one-year intensive non-credit certificate program at The Graduate Center, and current University titles do not meet the unique requirements necessary to recruit renowned experts in the publishing field to teach in a part time, non-tenure role at the Writers’ Institute at The Graduate Center. The Writers’ Institute Lecturer will provide non-credit instruction, on a non-tenure track, part-time basis, in their unique area of expertise within the publishing industry; and Writers’ Institute Lecturers shall be industry experts who are experienced professionals with at least ten years of competency in their particular area of specialization, expertise, industry or practice.

PUBLICATIONS:
Books:
Tennessee Williams and the Theatre of Excess: The Strange, The Crazed, The Queer (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2015): This book discusses Williams’ canon in the context of what I have termed a “theatre of excess,” which seeks liberation through exaggeration, chaos, ambiguity, and laughter. I focus especially on the post-1961 plays, and draw upon the theories of Antonin Artaud, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Julia Kristeva, as well as psychoanalytic, feminist, and queer theory, to analyze recent productions of these plays around the world that successfully captured Williams’ late aesthetic of grotesque excess. 3
Tennessee Williams: The Traveling Companion and Other Plays, Editor and Introduction (New York: New Directions Publishing, 2008): I was selected by New Directions to research, choose, edit, and introduce twelve late, unpublished plays of Tennessee Williams for collection in this definitive volume.
Contemporary American Drama (Edinburgh: University of Edinburgh Press [Distributed by Oxford University Press in the U.S.], 2007): This book explores the development of contemporary theatre in the United States in its social, political, and theoretical dimensions, focusing on the postmodern performance of American identity on the stage since WW II. [Edinburgh Critical Guides to Literature Series. Ed. Martin Halliwell and Andy Mousley.]
The Politics of Reputation: The Critical Reception of Tennessee Williams' Later Plays (Cranford, NJ: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press [London: Associated University Presses], 1999): This was the first full-length study of Williams’ late (post-1961) plays, and examined the critical reaction to his work throughout his career in conjunction with that of the work of his contemporaries in Europe, Britain, and the U.S.
Work-in-Progress:
Clowning Around?: Reimagining Political Transformation in Late-Twentieth Century Grotesque Theatre
In this latest book project I explore how, in the latter half of the twentieth century, particularly from the 1960s to the 1990s during a period of political change in a world that was still negotiating the effects of two world wars, the ambiguous figure of the clown--a grotesque outlaw who moves between, within, across, and beyond boundaries--becomes a key subversive figure in plays that were reacting to systems of social and political oppression. In these plays, the grotesque body becomes a site for cultural and political transformation through its contradictions, oozing inconsistency and excess, and allowing a potential space for regeneration and renewal through instability and failure.

2008-PRESENT:
Shifting Constructions of American Identity in 20th century U.S. Theatre: a doctoral course I developed that covers the work of key playwrights and theatre movements in the United States in the context of changing social, cultural, and political developments from the 1920s to the present in order to examine shifting representations of American identity in U.S. theatre, or what it means to "be American" on the stage in terms of gender, social class, sexuality, ethnicity, race, and the concept of family.
The Grotesque in Theatre: a doctoral course I developed that begins with The Theatre of the Grotesque, which emerged in Italy during the 1910s and 1920s, and moves through a more general study of the grotesque from the 1920s to the present in European, South American, Middle Eastern, South African, and American drama, using various theories of the grotesque in texts by Bakhtin, Kayser, Harpham, Meyerhold, Hugo, Bahktin, and Kristeva.
Tennessee Williams in Context: a doctoral course I developed which explores Williams’ plays in the context of changing social, cultural, and political developments in the United States from the 1930s to the 1980s, and examines his relationship to the work of other playwrights in each period, as well as to the social and political background of each period.
19
Women’s Performance Art and its Legacy: a doctoral course I developed which takes the “'Unnatural Acts': Women’s Performance Art" course (see below) a step further, and explores the more recent developments of neo-burlesque and cabaret as subversive performance models in response to shifting feminisms during the turn of our new century, when civil liberties were being stripped away.
“Unnatural Acts”: Women’s Performance Art: a doctoral course I developed which explores both the artistic and political challenges of performers as different as Holly Hughes, Anna Deavere Smith, Karen Finley, Deb Margolin, and Laurie Anderson, for example, in the context of how gender, racial, and social identities are both constructed and challenged.
The Politics of Excess, Ambiguity, and Laughter in 20th Century Culture: An MA-level course I developed for the Program in Liberal Arts. This course explores a variety of texts—drawn from literature, drama, painting, film, philosophy, and performance cultures such as circus aesthetics, “freak shows,” burlesque, and cabaret—that embraced a subversive politics of excess and laughter in order to celebrate the irrational and the undefinable, often employing exaggeration, distortion of reality, and irony for the purpose of social resistance.

Board of Trustees of The City University of New York
RESOLUTION TO Appointment of Miranda Fricker as Distinguished Professor at The Graduate Center
January 11, 2021
WHEREAS, Professor Miranda Fricker is a renowned scholar of moral philosophy, theory of knowledge and feminist philosophy; and
WHEREAS, Professor Fricker has published six books and edited volumes and 30 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters; and
WHEREAS, In addition, Professor Fricker has given over 90 lectures in the U.S. and internationally since 2012; and
WHEREAS, Five international conferences held in the Netherlands, England, Boston, Croatia and Germany were focused on Professor Fricker’s work between 2012 and 2014; and
WHEREAS, Professor Fricker was appointed an Honorary Doctor of Letters at the University of Kent at Canterbury and an Honorary Professor at the University of Sheffield in 2018, elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2016, and appointed moral philosopher on the Spoliation Advisory Panel, a U.K. government panel that resolves claims from families that lost property during the Nazi era, in 2015; and
WHEREAS, As one of her reviewers notes, Professor Fricker’s “contributions to epistemology have been nothing short of ground breaking. It is important to understand that Anglophone philosophy in general, and epistemology in particular, has not engaged work in feminist philosophy to the degree one might have hoped. Fricker’s book Epistemic Injustice has changed that. I would say that is has prompted the most fruitful and exciting research program in mainstream epistemology for decades. It has fired up graduate students, disrupted longstanding paradigms and literally changed the trajectory of the sub-field”; and

Prior to this appointment, she was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield served as Reader, Senior Lecturer and Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of London.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York appoint Miranda Fricker as Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at The Graduate Center effective March 1, 2021, with compensation of $28,594 per annum in addition to her regular academic salary, subject to financial ability.
EXPLANATION: Professor Fricker has a long and internationally renowned career in her field and is conducting scholarship and teaching of the highest caliber.

WHEREAS, As one of his reviewers notes, “It would be no exaggeration to say that one cannot consider oneself a scholar of early modern or medieval Spanish literature if one has not read his (Martínez Torrejόn’s) scholarship or used his editions. Among the dissertations I have directed or graduate students I have taught or advised in the field of colonial Latin American literature, it is fair to say that nearly every single one has cited the work of Professor Martínez Torrejόn. Moreover, as an editor of Modern Language Notes and member of the PMLA editorial board, I cannot recall seeing a submission dealing with the important colonial author and early advocate of human rights Bartolome de las Casas that did not cite one of Professor Martínez Torrejόn’s critical edition of his Brevísimia relación. This edition has achieved such renown that it has been reissued
on three separate occasions, the most recent under the auspices of the Real Academia Española, making it de facto the definitive edition and study.”; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Martínez Torrejόn joined Queens College as an Assistant Professor in 1997 and was promoted to Associate Professor and then Professor in 2005. Prior to his time at CUNY, he was an Assistant Professor at Columbia University from 1990 to 1996. Dr. Martínez Torrejόn earned his Ph.D. in Spanish and Portuguese from the University of California, Santa Barbara and his Licenciado in Spanish Philology from Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York appoint José Miguel Martínez Torrejόn as Distinguished Professor at Queens College effective March 1, 2021, with compensation of $28,594 per annum in addition to his regular academic salary, subject to financial ability.
EXPLANATION: Dr. Martínez Torrejόn is an internationally renowned scholar whose decades-long work is regularly cited by other scholars who understand he is at the forefront of research in his field and an indispensable voice in literary studies. Queens College and The City University of New York will be well-served by Professor Martínez Torrejόn’s appointment as Distinguished Professor.

January 11, 2021
WHEREAS, Dr. Adam Sheffer received his Ph.D. in 2014 and is starting his fourth year at Baruch, where he arrived after completing a three-year post-doctorate at the California Institute of Technology; and
WHEREAS, Last year he was a recipient of the Henry Wasser Award from the CUNY Academy, presented yearly to assistant professors in recognition of outstanding research, or potential for such, in the humanities or sciences; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Sheffer is the recipient of a current NSF grant ($155,359) as well as a PSC- CUNY grant, and is presently working on a $270,000 NSF REU proposal, which Baruch expects will have significant merit; and
WHEREAS, In the summer of 2020, Dr. Sheffer initiated a new type of collaborative undergraduate research program supporting over 300 math majors who are homebound as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and including students from the City University of New York,, Yale, and a wide range of other national and international institutions; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Sheffer has a stellar publication record, with twenty-three articles appearing in excellent journals, and two more in submission; his coauthors are a veritable who’s who in combinatorial and discrete geometry and his online notes on polynomial methods and incidence theory were being used by a number of colleagues across the country; he was approached by and is now under contract with Cambridge University Press to publish these notes as a book to be entitled Polynomial Methods and Incidence Theory; and
WHEREAS, The usual department publication requirement for tenure and promotion is about one publication per year in a first-rate journal, or about seven accepted papers; therefore, it is clear Dr. Sheffer is an exceptional candidate, and would receive tenure and promotion at any major university at this time in his career; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Sheffer is among the very best young researchers in his field and is a superb teacher, having received the best teacher award at Cal Tech, and his courses being in high demand at Baruch, and Dr. Sheffer has been a mentor to students at Baruch, working with them on research projects, providing general advice about their future and encouraging more women into the discipline.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, That Dr. Adam Sheffer be retroactively awarded tenure in Department of Mathematics at Baruch College, effective September 1, 2021 with an application of Bylaw 6.2.c(2), subject to financial ability.
EXPLANATION: Dr. Adam Sheffer is a celebrated expert and researcher in his field and has produced work of the highest caliber, while demonstrating himself as one of the most vital members of his department. He is producing scholarship, teaching, and mentorship of the most exceptional level in service to the University’s mission and he will be highly sought after by other educational institutions; therefore, Baruch College should make every effort to retain him before he is lost to a competing institution. 1 Sheffer, Adam

RESOLUTION TO Award Alexander Zevin with Early Tenure at The College of Staten Island with an Application of Bylaw 6.2.c(2)
January 11, 2020
WHEREAS, Dr. Alexander Zevin currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at The College of Staten Island, where he was first appointed in 2015, and where his research focuses on the links among political economy, modern British and imperial history, and the links between media and politics; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Zevin’s book, Liberalism at Large: The World According to the Economist (Verso, 2019) has been widely reviewed in both the United States and the United Kingdom, in publications including The New Yorker, The Financial Times, The New Statesman, and The London Review of Books, and since the book’s publication, he has received invitations to speak at the University of London, the Sydney Writer’s Festival, the University of California at Berkeley, and Columbia University, garnering a remarkable amount of exposure for his work, for The College of Staten Island, and for The City University of New York; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Zevin has also published two refereed articles since coming to The College of Staten Island, and has published articles in the London Review of Books and Le Monde Diplomatique, and currently has more refereed articles in preparation; and
WHEREAS, Dr. Zevin has received numerous awards for his scholarship, including a 2018 Binder award for outstanding scholarship from his department and a 2020 Wasser Award from The City University of New York, and also received a Faculty Fellowship Publication program award and three PSC-CUNY Awards; and
WHEREAS, One independent reviewer from a prominent New England university states, “On the basis of the materials I have read, I believe that Dr. Zevin is a worthy candidate. He is an impressive scholar, who has already established a name for himself in the field. He has an ambitious, cogent and important research agenda. I am very happy to support his case for tenure with promotion to Associate Professor.”; and
WHEREAS, Many scholars of Dr. Zevin’s stature choose to focus their teaching efforts on graduate and upper division instruction; Dr. Zevin, however, has done the majority of his teaching in 100 and 200 level courses (14 sections to date), in addition to four upper- division and one graduate course, and his teaching evaluations at all levels are well above departmental and college norms; and
WHEREAS, Since 2015, Dr. Zevin has served as The College of Staten Island coordinator for the Phi Theta Honors Society and has served as the History Department’s representative on the college’s Honors Advisory; Teacher Education Advisory; and Science Letters and Society committees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, That Dr. Alexander Zevin be awarded early tenure in the Department of History at The College of Staten Island, effective September 1, 2021 with an application of Bylaw 6.2.c(2), subject to financial ability.
EXPLANATION: Dr. Zevin is a fast-rising star in his field who has received international acclaim for his vital research and impactful publications. Meanwhile, his dedication to teaching and acting as a mentor to his students has been exceptional; therefore, The College of Staten Island should make every effort to retain him before he is lost to a competing institution
