The December 8 minutes were approved.
A review of January Open Forums determined that the open forums were attended by about 30
faculty and staff per campus. A high number of attendees on all campuses were UPC committee members.
The discussions were interesting with many questions raised dealing with process and how UPC issues can
be better shared with the larger university community. Specific issues needing more discussion were to
be discussed later in the meeting. It was resolved that a new tracking system for UPC issues should be
instituted and communication of UPC issues shared more frequently with the university.
The request from Faculty Council that the current policy and program of the Office of the
University Research Services with respect to external funded grants be reviewed was tabled until the pre
and post awards infrastructure work is completed by the Finance Division.
It was determined that the formula for the distribution of equity salary raises recommended by
the Faculty Affairs UPC can be shared and discussed with the Faculty Council.
The Faculty UPC was asked to manage the Faculty Handbook review process while consulting with
the faculty council, the council of deans, General Counsel, and faculty at large.
The task of revising the Honorary Degree Policy was given to the Academic Affairs UPC with a
request that comments from the Faculty Council be solicited.
The remainder of the agenda items were transfer to the March 1 UCC Meeting.
Next meeting: March 1, 8-9 a.m., Room 723, 25 E. Pearson.
