RESOLUTION O5l5. *ARESOLUIION ON PR(rcEDURE VIIII RESPEC:r TO DELIBERATION AND DECXSION ON TIIE 4X4 CI,}RRIC.I]LT]M' Professot Lilien F. Robinson, Chafo of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, intoduced Resolution 05/5. She advised the Senate that the Resolution was prompted by the discussion at the Decembet Faculty Seaate meeting with tespect to the process to bL followed in considering &e tepott of thc 4x4 curticulum TaskForce. She said that atthough fa"lty who wete on the Senate at the time the Special Task Fonce was appointed uaderstood thaq pursuant to the Facutty Code-established nole in academic matter, the teport would be Eansmitted to the Senate and individual schools for review and tecommendationr the dis6llssisn at the hst meeti.g suggested that there was far less cladty tegading that ptocese. The Resolutioa teitetatee the Senate's undereanding of the pro".st and clanifiee the toles and tesponsibility of the Schools and the Faculty Seoatc with tespect to rcceipq teview, and recommeodations tegarding fte repo* of the Special Task Force. Professor Gdffith asked when the Task Force might conclude its delibetatione. Vice Ptesideat Lehman said that he still hoped, as stated befote, that the Task Fotce's work would be concluded at the ead of March, Z)06. Ptofessot Gupta iaquired about an atticl,e ia The Hatchet whete a $ndent membet of the'Iask Fotce had ventuted the opinion that a 4x4 curiculum might rot be causal in the achievement of student eogagemeot and academic chdlenge, and he aeked if the Task Fotce would look iato this. Vice President l-chr'.aa tespoadid that this question had been asked at the last meeting, and it is very difrcult to be able to link ro""es, with a particular cutriculat structure. This waE true wher GW statted the Univetsity Wtitng Ptogtam; it is Faculty Senate MeetingrJanuary ZLrZ0/d6 page 2 vety diffiguh to assess these s6rts sf things in the absencc of a definite baseline. In the case of the Writing Ptogtam, GW decided to conduct a self-assessment, measudng what students are doing ovet time, continu:tg to conduct exit sureys, and listeaing to the extemal wodd about the abilities of out students. A combination of self-assessmenglontinual tongitudinal studiee, and reviw of student wotk ptoducta cao lead at least to Bome general conclusions. Professot Miller asked if the 4x4 Taek Force repolt would contain a detailed budget proiection gwing the financial costs and benefits of such a curiculum shift. Vice Presidint Lehman said this would be a part of the Committee's examination of resource issues, and would include cost saving infotmatioa as well Ptofeseor Wihatth said that the undergraduate institution he attended required students to complete 36 courscs, which efiectively produced a frve-course cutticulum for the fitst two yezus aad a four-course curticulum for the laat two ycars. Ptofessor \fihasth thought this approach allowed students to expedence a broader curticulum in thefu first two yeats and to focus mote intensively on a speciqlited arca of study in their final two yearc. Yice Ptesident Lehman said the Task Force had not congidered this alternative and that he was not awale of aoy institution that does this. He said the Task Force would definitely take up ttis idea at its next meeting. Ttere berag no futthet discuesion, Yice President Lchmaa said he wished to make a statemert about the Resolution. For the record he said that he somewhat takes this Resolution petsonally. It is vely distu6ing because it seems to teflect a situation of mistnrst between the Senate and tbe sdrninie6ation. He eaid he thought the minutes of the December 9 meeting showed that he had been very clcar about the procedute thatwould be followed. He futther pointed out his comnents about the 4x4 study in a rccent Hatchet *if atticle, in which he was quoted ae saying the ptan ir recorlmended it will then be discussed by each of the Schools within the Univeteity, the Faculty Senate, and GV senior staff.' He said he did not quite undemtard why a Resolution was recessary when the procedue to be followed is aheady cleady set forth in tre Seaate minutes, Foliorwing Yice Ptesident Lehmants corunenc, the question was called a vote was ta&eo, tn. "rla Resolution was adopted by unanimous vote. INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTIONS No Resolutions wete intoduced.

REPORT ON THE COMPOSITTON OF THE FACLILTY Executive Vice President fot Academic Affairs Donald R. Lehman disttibuted a rcport entitled gFaculty Counts- FalI 2005.' (Ite Repor is attached to these minutea.) Vice Ptesident I-ehman thcn rcviemred the data in the R"porq which sers forrh the number of tegulat active-status frculty in non tenure-treck and occupied tenure-trick lines. In Fall 2fi)5, the totd nurnbet of tegular active-etatus f"".rlty numbeted 730, excluding faculty in the GW Law School (GIVLS), the School of Public Health and Health ServiceJ (SPHHS), and the School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS). The Report atso details the percentage of non-tenure-track faculty in fivc Schools: Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCA.S)' the Elliott School of fntetnational Afraire (ES[), the Scbool of Busioess (SB), thc School of Engincering and Appfied Science (SEAS), and the Gaduatc School of Educatioa and Humaa Development (GSEHD). Separate data oa the nunbet of tegular active-status faculty (non-tenute-track and occupied tenurc-track linee) is also given for tne Coleg. of Ptofessiond Snrdies, GWLS, SMHS, and the SPHHS. In this gro"p, the total of rcgulat astive-stetus faculty membets numbcrs 21t. The perccntage ofnon-tenure-tack faculty is also giveo for this group of faculty. The Report also deails the numbet of timited setvice faculty which includes faculty in categories such as ptofessorial lectutet, and regulat part-tirne, ot adiuncg faculty. Thi; data showt that in the CCAS, ESL{,, SB, SEAS, and GSEHD, the total nu-nber of such faculty i8 845. Thig toal does not include regearch and visitiag feculry. The number of limited setrice Acohy is also givco in the R.pont for CPS, GVIS;SMHS, and SpHHS. The total trumber of limited service faculty in these Schools is rr953. Professor Wilmarth asked Yice President Lehrnan to confirm that only SMHS, GWLS and CPS ate exempt from the Faculty Code requirement that 75Yo of the tegular acdve- 1t"t* facufty in each school must hold tenuted or tenuie-tiack appointments. yice Ptesidetrt Lehman confirmed that this was cottect. Ptofessot Crrifrth as&eA Yicc president Lehman to erplain why Columbiao Cotlege has nearly ?$oh eottarr.. h@Ity, the Elliott School less than 14o/o aill the Engineedng Schoot approximatcly 6%. A short discussion followed concemi'g poseible teasons fot the large numbet of contract facrrlty in Columbian College, but no coaclusioo was teached. Vice Ptesident Lehman said he thought it would be iatetesting to tese' atch f.".rlty hfting in the mid-190e in Arts and Sciences to see how much hfuing at that e contdbuted to tre prerent situation. Professor Cdffi6 said it was his impression that moot of the nom-tenule-ttack fa""lty in Columbian College were appointed within the last frve to seven yenffi. Yice Ptesideot Lehmaa obsetved that the number of conttact faculty ovet the past five ye:rrs in Columbian College has ranged ftom 535 to the prcsent numbet of 568. He also noted that the number of tenure lines available ca,.ot be increased without the concurrence of the Boatd of Ttustees. 1 Ptofessor Gupta asked if 565 is the maximuqr number of tenure lines allowed in Columbian CoIIege, Vice Ptesident Lehman respoaded that it was rot, and that is why the Faculty Seaate Meeting,Jaouary mrZUJd Page 5 figures in the teport teflect only the number of faculty in occupied lines. Ovemll he said he would guess that in the five schools gtouped with Columbian College in the Repor, thete \- are ptobably somet\ing on the otder of 25 unfilled tenute-accnring linee. [Vice President Lehman subsequently confirmed that thete ate 53 such rrnfiIled tenure-accruiilg lines.lFurthet discuseioo follwed bctween Profeseoffi Crrifith, Millct, Malotta, Muellet, and Vice Presidmt Lehman. Ptofessot \filrarth recalled tha! when Intedm Dean Southby (SPHHS) ptesented hie repott to the Faculty Senate three ot four yeam ago, the Faculty Senate adopted a tesolution crlling fot a five-yeat plan to enEure that the SPHHS would achieve t75oh level of tenuted or tenute-tac,k faculty, The aumbers ir Yice Presideot Lehman's Repon indicate that vitnrally ro ptogtess hes been made in moving that School toward eyen e maiotity of tenured or tenule-Eack facufty. Profeesot Viharth asked whethet the administtation feels an obligation to show teal ptogress in thie area; it seems that progrcss has not beer made at either SPHHS or GSEHD. Vice Prcsident Lehman said thaq as he uadctstood ig the obi,ective with regard to the SPHHS is that potentidly it will rearfr the gml ot7lo/o tenured or teoure-track f""olty. At the moment, Yice President Lehman said he rmderstood the School is focusing 6m hiring outstanding depattment chairs. Sincc he makcs these appointmente, he assuted the Senate that these hitee have been appointed as tenured facutty membete. Mditiond tenure linee have aot been tequested fot the School at this point. He eaid he thought in order for the SPHHS to reach ite goals it would heve to ofret tcnure-track positinns to .ttract top facufty to the School \- Piofessot Kirn-Renaud asked Vice President Lchrnan to cornrnent on the high ptopottion of coatact fac.rtty ln languagc dqlartmene, and in patticutar, if that situation is a tesult of deliberate policy. Yice Pteeident Lehman said it was his urderstanding that the need to hiie fecutty foc thcsc pcitions quicldy and the incteased demand that has dweloped rclative to taaguage counoes over e very short perid of time i" ,ery tikety teeponeible fot this state of afrafus, Professor Kim-Renaud statcd fot the rccotd that tnis situation should be corected. Ptofessot Muellet said he thought that Yice Ptesident Lehman had iust acknowledged &at reguiting facqy membere into conttact pocitions does not bdry io quality facutty. Vice Ptesident Lchmaa said that, on the contary, a lot of c(mtnrct fasutty are outstaoding facutty for the pruposee for whictr they are hired. Ftom the vieurpoint of the tesearch enterpdse of the Univemity, the presence of the contact ftcuky has hade a certaio arnormt of that reseatch possible. NEIT GW VIDEO FOR DHYELOPMENT, RECRIIITIIET{T AI\ID MEDIA USAGE Vice Ptesident for Comnunications Michael Frcedman introduced the newvideo by saying it had been c-teated at the suggestion of the nem Vice Pteeident fot Advance-.oq Lauel PriceJones, fot showing at the 1821benefactot's ditnet in Octobea This dinner was attended by individuals who have given $l milliql or mone to the Univetsity, The audience was lrter erpanded to include &ose wto have coattibuted $1001000 or mone as well ft was Vice Ptesideot Ptice Jones's idea that beoefactors and poteotial berefactons might like to view some of the chaoges at the Univenity over.the paot few yqrrt, and see how theit contdbutions have been ueed orr carnpus. Faculty Senate Mee*ing,J.rouary mrZfiM page 6 The Communrcatiols Ofrce ptoduced the video, which is aimed at a rsw generatioa of donots. A second vension of this video, with slight modifications, has been cteated for use as an undergtaduate tecnritment video and it has been streamlined to become a thirty second commetcial shown when the GW basketball teams appear on television. This video is tatgeted to a youtrg demographic. There remains a tar[e arnount of unused footage which will be used to ptoduce othet videos with a difretent focue, such as f*& scholarship. Vice Ptesident Freedman intoduced his colleague, Associate Vice president for Advancement Eugene Finnr who was present at the meJting to help aaswei any questions the Senate might have about the video. Fo[owing Yice Prcsident Freedman's remirks, the Senate vieved the eight rrrinsls video, after which the Senate aho teviewed the shofter video. Ptofessot Kim-Renaud complirnsfied Yice Ptesident Fneedman on the quality of the video. She asked why CNN had beea featurcd rather than some othei intltnship oppomrnity that could Buggeet the wide vatiety of choices in governmental, oro- govemmental' and in:etnational otgtnizatins in Vashington arrrailabb ior intetnship to GV students, because they snrdy in the nation'a capital Yice President Freedmro r.ia tn teason CNN was selected was because it is an intcrnship that came to our &utrpue as opposed to onein which snrdents go elsewhere in Vashington. Associate Yice President Finn said that within the next two weeks, donors who wete not able to attend 1frs dinnet would be mailed u cory of the video along with a letter from Ptesident Ttachtenberg. Frcm the Univetsity's petsfective the message"is one of thankc to our donors. It wae vety well teceived at the dionet, hc added.
