Faculty Senate Endorses Ad Hoc Committee
To Create Template for External Review
After several weeks of discussion, the
Faculty Senate endorsed by an 11-6 vote
at its Nov. 12 meeting in Brockway Hall
the creation of an ad hoc committee to
formulate the template for external review
of faculty on campus.
Senator Howard Botwinick, economics,
offered the amended motion that originated
with the Faculty Senate Steering Committee
in October. During the ensuing meetings,
Senate debate centered around a number
of issues, including faculty representation
on such a committee and whether existing
Senate policies dictated that the Faculty
Affairs Committee – and not an ad hoc
committee – was the proper body for
considering the establishment of external
review procedures.
The external review issue came to the
fore because SUNY System has informed
its campuses that external review will
be a requirement for family promotion,
although each campus has been given the
leeway to determine the form it will take.
President Erik J. Bitterbaum explained to
the Senate that SUNY New Paltz and
SUNY Oneonta have definite external
review policies in place, while SUNY
Fredonia, SUNY Oswego, SUNY Plattsburgh and SUNY Potsdam are working
on what their respective external review
policies should look like.
SUNY Cortland took its first step
in that process with the approval of
Botwinick’s motion, which stated:

Faculty Senate Endorses Ad Hoc Committee to Create Template for External Review
Continued from page 1
“Because the temper of the faculty on the
SUNY Cortland campus is one that desires
and strives for individual and departmental
autonomy, the Faculty Senate Steering
Committee moves that deliberations of the
proposed external review process begin in an
ad hoc committee created for and charged
with that purpose only, and made up of a
broad representation of faculty elected by each
of the three schools, each of the subdivisions
of the arts and sciences, and the librarians.”
Botwinick went on to cite the most recent
full-time, tenure-track faculty numbers
supplied to him by Joanne Barry, human
resources. The figures show that of 256
faculty members, 60.2 percent are in the
School of Arts and Sciences, 21.5 percent are
in the School of Professional Studies, 14.1
percent are in the School of Education, and
4.3 percent are librarians.
In order to approximately reflect the above
numbers of total faculty members in each
division and within the library, the Senate
approved Botwinick’s recommendation,
included in his motion, that the make-up of
the ad hoc committee be: six members from
arts and sciences with three of these elected
at-large by the arts and sciences faculty and
one each elected from each arts and sciences
subdivision; two members elected at-large by
the professional studies faculty; two members
elected at-large by the education faculty; and
one
member elected at-large by the librarians.
Clarke to Resign as Faculty Affairs
Committee Chair
Glen C. Clarke, research and sponsored
programs, who has chaired the Faculty
Senate’s Faculty Affairs Committee (FAC) for
the past three-and-a-half years, informed the
Senate that he would be stepping down as
chair effective Dec. 12.
While it was an entirely voluntary decision,
the move comes in the wake of a growing
feeling on campus that a tenured faculty
member should head the committee, according to Clarke, who has consistently been
among the most well-prepared Senate committee chairs during his tenure.
Clarke, who also serves on the Senate’s
Review of Governance Structure Committee,
said that group will soon make a recommendation to the Faculty Senate that its by-laws be
amended so that only a faculty member with
academic rank be eligible to serve as FAC chair.
“Fewer than one in three professionals
— and fewer than one in four faculty members overall — believe that I should be chair
of the Faculty Affairs Committee, “ added
Clarke, referring to the results from 242
faculty and 61 professional respondents of a
not-yet published campus survey conducted
by the Review of Governance Structure
Committee.
“Because it appears that my continued
service is neither welcomed nor warranted,
I will resign as chair of the Faculty Affairs
Committee on Dec. 12,” said Clarke, who
will do so at the FAC meeting that day.
“I will conduct an election of a new chair
to succeed me,” he explained. “Immediately
upon that individual’s election as chair, I will
give the assembled record of all agendas,
minutes, and annual reports of the committee
during my tenure as chair to my successor.
If for any reason such an election is not held
beforehand, I will resign as chair effective at
4 p.m. on that date and will give the assembled
record of all agendas and minutes of Faculty
Affairs Committee meetings during my
tenure as chair to Senate Chair (Karla) Alwes
as soon after the meeting as is practicable.”
