ISU Board of Trustees Minutes Friday, May10, 2019 Page 3 MINUTES Friday, May 10, 2019, 1:30 p.m. Meeting of the Indiana State University Board of Trustees State Room, Tirey Hall, Terre Haute, Indiana 1 Call Meeting to Order 1:34 p.m. 2 Remarks Faculty Senate Chairperson (Dr. Hawkins) Staff Council Chairperson (Ms. Moorhead) Student Government Association President (Mr. Lamb) Vice President for Development and CEO of the ISU Foundation (Mrs. Angel) President of the University (Dr. Curtis) President of the ISU Board of Trustees (Mr. Pease) Report of the Faculty Senate Chairperson (Dr. Hawkins) For the final time, at least for the foreseeable future, greetings on behalf of the faculty. Faculty governance has met three times since my last report in February. We have been quite busy this spring, and your Agenda today includes a dozen action items passed by Senate between February and April. As you have the rationales, there is no need for me to summarize these proposals. Let me simply note that they come before you following careful vetting by multiple levels of faculty governance. And, each was approved by Senate with overwhelming support. From my position as Senate chair, I wish to thank the members of the Standing Committees, the Executive Committee, and the Faculty Senate for all the time and consideration they put into their oversight duties this year. The results serve as testimony to the faculty’s dedication to shared governance. In March, the faculty held elections for the 2019-20 Senate. The incoming Senate then met to elect its officers and the members of the incoming Executive Committee. I am pleased to report that Chris MacDonald will succeed me as chair at the end of May. Many of you will know Chris from her previous term as chair in 2015- 16. Robert Guell will serve as vice-chair, and Kenneth Games will assume the duties of secretary. One item of note, the officers come from three different colleges for the first time in a number of years. I have no doubt that the faculty and university will be well represented by the new Senate, and I am confident that the Administration and the Board will work well with its new officers. It has been my honor and privilege to represent my faculty colleagues before you this year. ISU is an institution of higher education—that is our business. As such, ISU must continue to nurture and promote the knowledge, expertise, and creativity that our faculty bring to campus and the classroom. The institution will have to make adjustments in order to face down its impending enrollment challenges. This is unavoidable. Debates over the size and scale of these adjustments will play out in large part in budget discussions. Here, faculty can only advise. In the end, it is the Administration and the Board who determine where the dollars will go. ISU Board of Trustees Minutes Friday, May10, 2019 Page 4 It should come as no surprise when I report that Spring reallocations were not painless. Thus, my departing words of advice: Please continue to invest in the faculty. As always, the lecturers, instructors, and professors will return in the fall and continue as expected with their dedicated teaching, their innovative scholarship, and their steadfast service to ISU and the wider community. We cannot take their hard work for granted—it is at the heart of our mission as a university. Unless the interests and needs of the faculty are prioritized, we will find it much more difficult to defend and strengthen the institution we are all here to serve. On a personal note, I have greatly appreciated the time the Board has put into faculty outreach during the four years I have been a Senate officer. I have also found it a great pleasure to work with you and get to know you—collectively and individually. Thank you for your support and my very best wishes to everyone for a successful 2019-20 academic year. Report of the Staff Council Chairperson (Ms. Moorhead) Good Afternoon, Ladies and Gentleman. On April 9th the Staff Council convened for its last meeting of the academic year. On April 16th, we will hold our Annual Staff Meeting to bring all ISU staff up to date on what we have worked on over the year. Many proposals assigned to the Employee Relations and Staff Benefits Committees have been heavily researched and are being finalized. Staff Council’s hope is to have them voted on and brought to Administration and in front of this conglomerate by the end of the year. At the last Staff Council meeting, elections for new officers of the Executive Committee took place. As of June 1st, the following Executive Committee will be in place: Todd LaComba will serve as Chair, Elizabeth Phillips will serve as Vice Chair, Jamie Hays will serve as Treasurer, and Roxanne Torrence will serve as Secretary. The outgoing Executive Committee wishes the incoming good luck and supports them 100 % in our transition. At the beginning of the year, the President’s office tasked Staff Council with raising $5,000 for Habitat for Humanity. With the hard work of our Public Relations Committee, Staff Council was able to raise over $6,000. This coming academic year, Staff Council is also able to support 3 Staff members with scholarships to financially help in their continued education.
