The revisions are described below and will be placed on the Senate website for 5 days after the Senate meeting. Any Senator who feels that the changes require a more careful review must place their objection in writing to Senate Chair Beth Seymour [email protected], on or before Monday, September 21, 2020. 1. Editorial change: The Committee on Institutional Cooperation needs to be changed to the current name Big Ten Academic Alliance. 2. Editorial change: The Office of Planning and Assessment needs to be changed to the current name Office of Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Research. These two changes will be made wherever the old name occurs in our Senate Constitution, Bylaws and Standing Rules. Appendix C 9/15/20 SENATE COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES AND RULES Revisions to Standing Rules, Article II, Section 6(m) Committee on Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity (Sustainability) (Legislative) Implementation: Upon approval by the Senate Introduction and Rationale The global focus on developing sustainable human and physical systems -- systems that will work for the benefit of all people and the planet, and do so perpetually -- is among the most pressing concerns of our time. As one of the world’s premier research institutions in the arts, sciences, and the humanities, Penn State is poised to be a leader in creating, developing, and disseminating the innovative research and creative practices that will make a sustainable future possible. Penn State's Sustainability Institute is focused on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that 192 countries have adopted as the blueprint to achieving a sustainable society. However, the Sustainability Institute cannot undertake this by itself. To fulfill the difficult but necessary task of minimizing or eliminating our negative environmental impact, as well as achieving economic and social sustainability in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals, every unit across our diverse institution must take ownership of incorporating sustainability into their own operations and spheres of influence. Research and creative activity across the Penn State system already addresses sustainability in myriad ways: • A recent study by Penn State researchers in the College of Agriculture notes that "30% to 40% of the total food supply in the United States goes uneaten — and that means that resources used to produce the uneaten food, including land, energy, water and labor, are wasted as well." Using innovative methodologies, this study is the first to identify and analyze the level of food waste for individual households, a key piece of information in efforts to foster food security. • Researchers at Penn State - Altoona recently focused on the Flight 93 Memorial site as a case study for trans-disciplinary research on reclamation and mitigation of pollution from legacy mining activities. That research illustrates how local, regional, and national stakeholders can come together to address complex, multi-faceted environmental and social challenges in the context of a common goal. • The 2018 Plastic Entanglements exhibition at Penn State's Palmer Museum of Art brought together sixty works by thirty contemporary artists to explore the environmental, aesthetic, and technological impact of plastic. The exhibition highlighted the diverse, often-fraught relationship between this human-made substance and the material and cultural domains in which it has now become ubiquitous. • Penn State researchers played a central role in a recent report by the National Center for Science Education. Mixed Messages: How Climate Change is Taught in America's Appendix C 9/15/20 Schools drew on an unprecedented, nationally-representative survey of science educators to offer a detailed empirical assessment of how the science of climate change is being taught to elementary and secondary students. The centrality of research and creative endeavor to Penn State's core mission places the Faculty Senate's Committee on Research, Scholarship, and Creative Accomplishment (RSCA) in a unique position to encourage and facilitate the incorporation of sustainability across the university community, bring sustainability concerns to the attention of university administration, and recommend changes to increase the sustainability of the University. Recommendation Recommended changes to the Senate’s Standing Rules, Article II, section 6(m), are as follows: Please note that the following contains bold text for additions and strikeouts indicating deleted text.

  • Spring 2011 1 Table of Contents
    A MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR Photo by Kopicki Photography Dr. Susan Phillips Speece Saying Good-bye and Thank You en-and-a-half years … my gosh, where did they go? I vividly recall a grueling drive across the country, pulling up to my new home, and crashing on an inflatable mattress with a hole in it. It did not matter that the mattress T deflated during the night, I slept the sleep of one contentedly at home. For the past ten-and-a-half years, you have made Berks County my home. You have welcomed me, supported me, and even challenged me–all in the name of “Good Old State.” Over my tenure, we have been able to create a team of extremely competent professionals. You know the saying, “You are only as strong as the weakest link.” Well there are no weak links in the team here at Penn State Berks–just honed professionals who are also wonderful human beings. Together as a team we have been able to bring NCAA athletics to the college and community. We have doubled our baccalaureate offerings, and increased the number of faculty and the student enrollment by about 40 percent. The quality of our faculty’s research has reached new levels of excellence. With world-class leaders and a community- minded agenda, the faculty and staff at Penn State Berks have become invaluable assets to the greater community. Finally, after a nine-year effort, we are also seeing the completion of a classroom and laboratory building that will house the Business, Engineering, and Information Sciences and Technology division.

One of the symbols for Sankofa (above right) depicts a mythical bird moving forward, but with its head turned backward. The egg in its mouth represents the "gems" or knowledge of the past upon which wisdom is based; it also signifies the generation to come that would benefit from that wisdom. It is hoped that this document will inspire Penn State students, faculty, staff, and alumni to learn from and build on the efforts of those who came before them.

They reflect a tradition of giving that dates to the founding of the Farmers’ High School on donated land. They represent a culture of philanthropy that has been building through three comprehensive University-wide campaigns over four decades. And they illustrate how, over the course of the last six years, For the Future: The Campaign for Penn State Students has inspired our alumni and friends with new excitement about what lies ahead for our institution. I am honored to report that as the campaign approaches its conclusion on June 30, 2014, the Penn State legacy of loyalty and support keeps growing. More than 193,000 donors—the largest number in our history—made gifts to the University in 2012–2013, and alumni giving rose by 23 percent over the preceding year.

    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Crisci Associates August 25, 2008 PA Environment Digest Video Blog Coalition: Budget Leaves Farmers Behind, Nutrient Trading Vital – Video Blog While the budget adopted by the state in July included major new funding to improve wastewater infrastructure, it did little to address the needs of farmers required to meet state and federal clean water mandates or to create a Nutrient Credit Trading Bank that would lower the cost of meeting the mandates, according to the Pennsylvania Fair Share for Clean Water Coalition . Representatives of the Coalition, including the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, Pennsylvania Municipal Chairs Hanna, Hershey Authorities Association, Pennsylvania Builders Association, Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, presented testimony today to the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee during a public hearing on farm conservation funding needs at Ag Progress Days near State College. Rep. Mike Hanna (D-Clinton) serves as Majority Chair of the Committee and Rep. Art Hershey (R-Chester) serves as Minority Chair. Video Blog: Reps. Hanna and Hershey Introduce Hearing “Federal and state clean water mandates require both wastewater plants and farmers to reduce nutrient pollution running in Pennsylvania’s rivers and streams,” said Matthew Ehrhart, Pennsylvania Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. “While we were pleased the Fair Share Coalition was able to secure funds for infrastructure upgrades, we were very disappointed the Governor and General Assembly did not provide any new help for Pennsylvania’s family farmers, especially given the fact that agriculture is one of the largest sources of impairment to local rivers and streams." “Farmers have been hard at work reducing nutrient runoff over the last 25 years,” said Ehrhart.
