1. The meeting was called to order at 2:30 p.m. by Chairperson Alberto J. Rodriguez.
2. The minutes of the 17 April 2017 Senate meeting were approved as distributed.
3. The Agenda was accepted as distributed.
4. Professor Rodriguez presented the remarks of the Chairperson (see Appendix A).
5. President Daniels the remarks of by the President (see Appendix B).
6. Question Time- No written questions had been received. Questions were entertained from the floor.
• Professor Linda Prokopy noted that there was not enough housing for incoming freshmen. She expressed concern about the housing shortage and the disruptions it caused. President Daniels acknowledged these facts and said that the yield of incoming freshmen increased beyond the available housing. He also noted that more sophomores and juniors have been encouraged to live on campus and they have taken advantage of on-campus housing. Hence, Purdue ran out of on-campus housing. Most of the students have been accommodated since the beginning of the semester. Some students were housed in brand new off-campus apartments that cost more than on-campus housing and these costs were subsidized by the Board of Trustees (BoT) until on-campus housing was available. • Professor S. Laurel Weldon thanked President Daniels for his informative presentation to the Senate. She then asked: “With such a large group of freshmen, are there plans to add faculty members and new facilities to handle the increased number of students?” President Daniels said that there are such plans, but there are also right-sizing issues to that must be considered to ensure that programs that need faculty and facilities will receive them. It is not the intention of the Administration to cover the course loads with temporary instructors. • Professor David Sanders suggested that increasing the number of in-state students affects the funding formula from the State of Indiana. He asked: “Does taking additional in-state students financially benefit the University?” President Daniels said “…that in the short-term, the out-of-state students bring in more funds. The ratio of in-state and out-of-state students has not changed, but we have more of both as the incoming classes have enlarged. More is better and this has helped keep the rate per student under control. If there are enough in-state students, it will eventually show up in increased funding by the state.” • Professor Cheryl Cooky mentioned that she is pleased by upward trajectories. She asked the President: “Are there any concerns from your perspective?” President Daniels identified one of the macro-issues as the flattening of the total number of 18- year-olds that serve as the pool of college students. Secondly, the readiness of the incoming students is not adequate. Our new high school in Indianapolis is a small measure to address the issue of preparedness. Demographics are also shifting with more students who do not have English as their first language and this is an issue of concern throughout higher education. Now, we are competing very successfully for in-state and out-of-state students. The out-of-state proportion is still approximately 46% of the total. However, the percentage of international out-of-state students has been decreasing since a high of about 17% of the total. We have had increasing numbers from Latin America and other countries and some lower percentage of the total from China. Finally, the total number of students pursuing U.S. degrees is decreasing.
7. Professor S. Laurel Weldon, Chair of the Steering Committee, presented the Résumé of Items under Consideration (ROI) by various standing committees (see Appendix C). The Chairs of the Senate Standing Committees briefly described the current activities of their respective committees. Of note was the request from Professor Sulma Mohammed, Chair of the Nominating Committee, seeking members for various Standing and Faculty Committees. She distributed hard copies of the lists of committee vacancies.
8. Professor Kauffman presented Senate Document 16-12, Updated Language to Student Regulations, for Action. Professor Kaufmann was accompanied to the podium by Registrar Jerry Ross. Professor Kristina Bross made a motion to approve the document, which was seconded by Professor Stephen Beaudoin. Professor Kauffman explained the rationale for the proposed changes. He noted that corrections had been made as recommended by the Senate at the April 2017 Senate meeting. Professor Linda Prokopy remarked that some of the pronoun changes from “he/she” to “they/their” had not been made in the document. Professor Kaufmann stated that these changes will be made, where found. Following the brief discussion, the motion to approve the document passed with 60 votes in favor, 1 in opposition with 4 abstentions. 9. Senate Document 16-15, Tobacco Education and Cessation Resolution, was presented, for Action, by Professor Alan Friedman, Chair of the University Resources Policy Committee. Professor Robin Adams made a motion to approve the document, which was seconded by Professor Beaudoin. Professor Friedman explained that these types of programs have been successful at other institutions. The program is designed to focus attention on educating individuals to encourage tobacco use cessation. The vote was taken and the motion to approve the document passed with 59 votes in favor, 1 in opposition with 2 abstentions.
10. Purdue Student Government President Samuel Eschker updated the Senate on the activities of is organization (see Appendix D).
11. Vice-Chair of the Senate and Chair of the Athletic Affairs Committee (AAC) Natalie Carroll gave a brief update on the activities of the AAC (see Appendix E). She asked that any questions be sent to her or Associate Director of Athletics Ed Howat.
12. Professor April Ginther provided the Senate with an update on the Purdue Language and Culture Exchange (PLaCE) Program (see Appendix F). She noted that the funding for the program will soon expire and there are no current administrative plans to fund it beyond this year. The current funding is provided by the College of Liberal Arts (CLA). Provost Jay Akridge stated that the Administration is discussing how best to fund the program. Professor Heather Servaty-Seib made a motion to suspend the rules to allow a vote on a resolution of support for the PLaCE Program. The motion to suspend the rules passed with 44 votes in favor, 17 in opposition with 1 abstention. The motion to approve the resolution of support (Senate Document 17-01, Senate Resolution in Support of Continued Funding for the PLaCE Program) was made by Professor Servaty-Seib with several seconds. This motion passed with 58 votes in favor, 2 in opposition with 1 abstention.
13. Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning Frank Dooley presented an update on the Purdue- Kaplan agreement (see Appendix G). Following the presentation, Vice Provost Dooley entertained questions from the Senate floor. Concern was expressed that IVY Tech and Kaplan will compete for the same population of students. Vice Provost Dooley said that Kaplan will encourage students to take courses at local community colleges before starting their Kaplan coursework. Kaplan does not see itself in competition with local community colleges. Professor Carlos Morales asked if the agreement will include the Concord Law School. Vice Provost Dooley stated that the agreement does include the Concord Law School. Professor Jonathan Neal asked if we anticipated transfers from Kaplan to Purdue. Vice Provost Dooley said that there is nothing to prevent transfers, but most Kaplan students are place-bound. Vice Provost Dooley explained that in a typical year, 40,000 courses are transferred to Purdue. There have only been three transfer courses from Kaplan in the last few years. We can follow our existing procedures for evaluating transfer courses. Professor Helen McNally brought up the PPI Deltek agreement. Vice Provost Dooley said that this is still being worked on. Regarding these various agreements, he does not think Purdue will compete against itself. Professor Kaufmann suggested that the Kaplan recruiting practices have been called dubious. He asked: “Are we going to allow them to maintain these tactics?” Vice Provost Dooley said that Senior Communication Strategist Spencer Deery had tracked down the allegations of dubious practices and they were unfounded. Since those allegations were made, Kaplan has changed its policy. Finally, anything else associated with these issues will be under Purdue’s control. Professor Kaufmann noted that Kaplan is an online provider not associated with any geographic region of the U.S. Hence, it does not seem to be within the Indiana component of the Land-Grant mission for the State of Indiana. Vice Provost Dooley maintained that the U.S. Dept. of Education recognizes Kaplan as an institution that follows appropriate requirements. Most of Kaplan’s students in their physical locations are based in Iowa, but the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) is now the state oversight authority and Indiana is the state for eligibility for financial support. A Senator asked: “What is the mission of Purdue-Kaplan?” Vice Provost Dooley recommended that to understand the mission of an institution for adult learners, on should read book the from the President of Arizona State University that addresses the current information society and the educational requirements to live in that society. Opportunities to expand education are needed. Professor Alan Friedman mentioned the case of LTV, a corporation that became involved in many, perhaps too many, industries. As a result, they were spread thin and went bankrupt. He asked: “How will Purdue keep that from happening?” Vice Provost Dooley stated that the Board of Trustees is aware of this possibility and will work to avoid such a situation for Purdue. President Daniels has been concerned that we have not been adequately involved in online education. If we are not involved, “What will happen to Purdue in the coming years?” President Daniels has brought us 30,000 students in a very short time. Kaplan does a good job of tracking a student in each course and this will be beneficial for the new entity. For comparison’s sake, Kaplan’s faculty are closest to our Continuing Term Lecturers (CTLs). As part of this agreement, they are expecting improvement from their CTLs.
14. There was no New Business.
15. No Memorial Resolutions had been received this month.
16. Having no additional business, the meeting adjourned at 4:40 p.m. University Senate Document 16-12 17 April 2017
TO: The University Senate FROM: Educational Policy Committee SUBJECT: Updated Language to Student Regulations DISPOSITION: University Senate for Discussion CAMPUSES: System-wide
RATIONALE: The Office of the Registrar has been leading an effort to publish updated University catalogs for each academic year. Part of this initiative involved a holistic review of all current student regulations. The following document presents a series of modifications to our current student regulations. These proposed modifications have been developed with input from academic advisors, the Office of the Registrar, members of the Educational Policy Committee of the University Senate, and the Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning. Broadly speaking, the following proposed changes were developed to provide great clarity in our regulations, not change the intent of the existing regulations. In most cases, proposed changes clarify outdated language (as many of our regulations are decades old) and separate policies and procedures, where appropriate. The Educational Policy Committee recommends approval of the proposed changes.

To: Purdue University Senate From: University Resources Policy Committee Subject: Tobacco Cessation Programs Disposition: University Senate for Discussion & Approval
A Resolution Promoting Tobacco Cessation Programs
Whereas, tobacco consumption is the leading cause of preventable death, Whereas, Purdue University wishes to promote the health of its students, faculty and staff, Whereas, the administration of Purdue University has considered the adoption of a tobacco-free campus policy, Whereas, the University Resources Policy Committee of the Purdue University Senate has heard presentations, deliberated, discussed and voted on the issue, yielding a mixed response, Whereas, multiple other groups on campus have also expressed mixed support for such a policy so that the final form of the implementation is uncertain, Whereas, the exposure of the nonsmoking community to harmful second- hand smoke is determined by the number and location of the allowed smoking areas and the number of smokers using them, Whereas, education in tobacco use and programs for cessation are proven effective mechanisms for reducing the negative health consequences of tobacco use, Be it resolved that, regardless of the status of smoking and tobacco usage on campus, the Purdue University Senate declares its strong support for maintaining and expanding tobacco education and cessation programs for students, faculty and staff. Particular attention in developing these programs should be paid to groups underserved in this area, which we identify as including International Students and Graduate Students. Be it further resolved that the mechanism of offering such programs and mechanisms for funding should be decided in collaboration between members of the Purdue administration, the leadership of the University Senate, and the leadership of Purdue Student Government and Purdue Graduate Student Government, and the leadership of the staff organizations (APSAC and CSSAC).

Starting off, I would like to echo the need for a Campus Climate Survey similar to the one that was conducted in 2007 and I look forward to collaborating with Prof Rodriguez on this. In the Spring of 2016, Purdue Student Government conducted a climate survey among undergraduate students. Here was one of the responses, “I am an Asian American. The international students do not socialize with me because I am not a native Chinese speaker. American students don’t interact with me because they think I am an international student.” We need to hear more of these stories, because they do exist but there hasn’t been an effort to collect them.
The University Senate offers great opportunities for students to become more informed and have their voices heard, but it has been neglected. In the coming weeks, students will be moved around in committees as they figure out their class schedules. I will do my best to place students in committees that they can meet with, and transfer their committees if schedules are incompatible. Please let me know if you notice a lack of student involvement on your committee and I will resolve that issue.
There are three pillars for action in student government this year:
1. Education – Students lack the requisite knowledge to enter into conversations with faculty and administrators, or to ask questions about campus improvement. We aim to resolve this through the creation of a campus wide student newsletter. 2. Cooperation – No longer can PSG continue to operate in a contained sphere. Progress only goes so far without increased cooperation. University offices have abilities and expertise that PSG could not replicate without full time staff. Student government has the ability to find students, and provide student input. We also have marketing experience when it comes to reaching out to the undergraduate population. As much as we are a liaison from students to administrators and faculty members, we are also a liaison from administrators and faculty to students. 3. Outreach – After progress has been made on an issue, students need to be informed. This can be achieved through both the newsletter and marketing campaigns. It needs to become habit rather than as a conglomeration of one-off outreach projects.
In tackling issues, we need a flexible paradigm for action. We will follow these steps loosely:
1. Collect information about a concern from students or faculty/staff 2. Make initial contact with the necessary office or individual 3. Identify areas for cooperative action and individual action and schedule a follow up date to check in on progress
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to me at [email protected] and I look forward to working with all of you during the upcoming school year! PURDUE ATHLETIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE Report to the University Senate September 11, 2017 The Athletic Affairs Committee (AAC)

4 Need for an English for Academic Purposes Program
5 Need for an English for Academic Purposes Program
Vocabulary
Our students receptive vocabulary levels typically range from 6,000 to 10,000-word families. These are very good levels for a second language.
• However, domestic students enter college with 18,000 to 22,000 words. • Language proficiency affects every aspect of international students’ performance. • On average, Purdue’s international students are
intermediate second language learners. 6 Program Effectiveness
7 Need for an English for Academic Purposes Program
International students present a different profile of skills and experiences from domestic students.
These differences can be an advantage for all students if the university can leverage them through intentional and deliberate pedagogical actions such as those that PLaCE provides.
(see Paige & Vande Berg, 2012).
8 Advantages for all students
