TAMU Faculty Senate Meeting Minutes
December 14, 2020 3:00pm
Via Zoom http://facultysenate.tamu.edu
CALL TO ORDER
Speaker John N. Stallone called the seventh meeting of the 38th Session to order at 3:00pm. Due to ongoing social distancing practices resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting was conducted via Zoom. Speaker Stallone began by reminding Senators of the Zoom features to be used during the meeting.APPRECIATION FOR SERVICE
Speaker Stallone reminded the Senate that President Michael K. Young and Provost Carol A. Fierke would both be leaving their posts as of December 31st. He first invited President Young to speak briefly to the Senate, who expressed his gratitude towards the faculty, especially during the challenges brought by the pandemic. In turn, on behalf of the whole Senate, Speaker Stallone shared appreciation for the work of the President. Provost Fierke was then invited to speak, but she had not yet joined the meeting.GUEST SPEAKER
Speaker Stallone welcomed guest speaker Mr. Michael O’Quinn, Vice President for Government Relations and Strategic Initiatives. Mr. O’Quinn provided his view of what might be expected from the upcoming Texas Legislative Session, stating that the sessions are always unpredictable during normal times, and likely will be more unpredictable during the time of COVID.- In the first two months, the Legislature is likely to meet two times a week, with the start of committee hearings occurring the end of January or early February.
- No big lobby days are scheduled, and no decision has been made if the sessions will be held virtually. There will likely be fewer bills this year.
- The budget will be a primary focus. Based on a recent revenue projection by the Comptroller, the state may be around $4 billion short for the biennium, but we won’t know where we stand until the House and Senate file their appropriation bills.
- Much attention is likely to be given to redistricting. The relationship between state and local governments, as well as gaming, are other expected issues.
- Texas A&M will work to get the additional funding received in the last legislative session. The goal is to receive funding to improve the faculty-to-student ratio impacted by the university’s growth, and the ask is $27.5 million.
- The Health Science Center has a separate budget request, as is customary with the state.
Mr. O’Quinn then took questions from the following Senators: Senator Dale Rice, College of Liberal Arts; Senator Lou Tassinary, College of Architecture; Senator Peter McIntyre, College of Science.
The full video recording of the meeting can be accessed on the Faculty Senate website: https://facultysenate.tamu.edu/Faculty-Senate-Meeting-Recordings.
Speaker Stallone thanked Michael O’Quinn for speaking to the Faculty Senate.
Provost Carol Fierke joined the meeting, and Speaker Stallone invited her to speak to the assembly. She thanked the Senate and all faculty for their friendship and collaboration, and expressed pride in the way everyone met the challenges to keep the campus open throughout the fall semester. Speaker Stallone shared his thanks on behalf of the Senate, and wished her well at Brandeis.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dr. Jocelyn Widmer, Assistant Provost for Academic Innovation, and Dr. Juan Garza, Assistant Vice President for Academic Services & Director of Provost Information Technology Office – Attachment A – FS.138.170Dr. Widmer provided her monthly update on the progress of Canvas (LMS) via a video, and the meeting time was devoted to questions only. The following Senators posed questions or offered comments: Senator Heather Ramsey, College of Science; and Senator Catharina Laporte, College of Liberal Arts.
SPEAKER COMMENTS
Speaker Stallone acknowledged the stresses and strains of the fall semester on both faculty and students, as a result of the COVID pandemic, and expressed gratitude for faculty rising to the challenge. He also thanked outgoing President Young and Provost Fierke for upholding the Aggie core value of selfless service, and for upholding the practice of shared governance with the Faculty Senate. He further praised Interim President John Junkins and Interim Provost Mark Weichold for stepping up to manage the transition of those roles.The following informational items were shared by Speaker Stallone:
- As a member of the Presidential search committee, he assured Senators that there is a promising list of well-qualified candidates.
- He thanked Senators for rising to the occasion when he recently called an emergency Senate meeting, and for keeping the debate brief in order to make a timely decision.
Speaker Stallone closed his comments by recognizing that the spring semester is likely to be as challenging as the fall, and is confident that faculty will continue to meet the challenges with the same dedication, creativity, passion, and care for the students. He wished happiness, peace and good health for the holiday season.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The motion passed to approve the November 9, 2020 minutes as distributed. Attachment B – FS.138.171CONSENT AGENDA
The motion was made to approve the December 14, 2020 Consent Agenda as presented. Senator Beth McNeill, College of Education & Human Development, requested the following program be pulled from the Consent Agenda for further discussion:- BS/MPH-PHLT/HPCH-PPH: Public Health - 5-year Bachelor of Science/Master of Public Health in Health Promotion & Community Health Sciences
The program was removed from the Consent Agenda, which was then approved with the one item removed.
(Full Consent Agenda with FS #’s can be found under Adjournment below.)
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Of the two items removed from the November 2020 agenda, one was returned to the Senate for approval: WFSC 335: Natural History of the Invertebrates. The motion was made to approve the course, which was then approved as presented.The program from the School of Public Health removed from this December agenda, was considered next. BS/MPH-PHLT/HPCH-PPH: Public Health - 5-year Bachelor of Science/Master of Public Health in Health Promotion & Community Health Sciences
Senator McNeill expressed concern over the large amount of overlap with an existing program in HLKN. Several of the courses duplicate ones already offered. She did not find a letter between the two departments in the package. Provost Fierke shared that the deans of Public Health and Education & Human Development are working on making the programs less similar, and it would be reasonable to have the committee look at this program. Senator Tommy McDonald, School of Public Health, attempted to reach someone in his college but was unsuccessful. Senator McNeill moved to table this program until further clarification. It was seconded and tabling was approved.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
Speaker-Elect Dale Rice convened the Committee of the Whole.Senator Clint Magill, College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, raised concerns about the level of cheating on exams this semester, and asked for recommendations on managing it. Speaker-Elect Rice stated that the EC will try to identify appropriate responses.
Senator Tony Cahill, College of Engineering, asked on behalf of his caucus if the Senate could address and resolve the pass-fail and Q-drop issues early in the spring semester. He further asked if the interim President and interim Provost could be encouraged to do the same. Speaker-Elect Rice felt this was a reasonable request, but cautioned that even if this is done, the administration could still decide later to make a change.
Senator Tracy Hammond, College of Engineering, provided some recommendations for limiting cheating in coursework.
Senator Rebecca Burns, College of Nursing, shared that they are using Respondus to proctor exams and Honor Lock as well, and that they didn’t have any problems to their knowledge.
Senator Janice Epstein, College of Science, shared that she is having students use whiteboards as scratch paper to see that they are being erased.
Senator Lou Tassinary, College of Architecture, reported that he would be stepping down as a Senator as of this meeting, in preparation for retiring at the end of the spring. He shared several pet projects that he has brought to the Senate over the years, wanting to present them one final time. The detailed descriptions would be sent to Betsy (executive assistant). Speaker-Elect Rice thanked Senator Tassinary for his thoughtful service to the Senate.
Senator Tracy Hammond, College of Engineering, raised a concern that grades were released to students much earlier than announced and was in the academic calendar as 10pm, which proved to be problematic when she went in at 4:30pm to update grades. Students were dismayed to find their grades going down.
Senator Andy Banerjee, College of Engineering, had the same experience as Senator Hammond, and he had to submit a grade change.
A private chat comment from a “concerned faculty member” was shared regarding an email just received about mandatory COVID testing.
In reference to Senator Magill’s question, Speaker Stallone informed the Senate that the Senate officers recommended to Provost Fierke a survey of the faculty about problems they encountered with technology this semester. The issue of exam security will be taken up again with Interim Provost Weichold.
Several Senators requested comments from administrators on the mandatory COVID testing. Speaker Stallone stated that he would take it up with them.
Senator Tracy Hammond, College of Engineering, requested a list of service opportunities early in the semester so that a quick turnaround can be avoided.
Senator Allen Honeyman, College of Dentistry, shared the unique consequences that occur when their students are expelled for cheating. The College loses four years of tuition when this happens.
Senator William Clark, College of Liberal Arts, expressed concern that he had gotten himself in trouble by answering an external email sent to Senators, counter to Senate procedure. Speaker Stallone clarified that Senators can respond to anyone on their own behalf, just not on the behalf of the Senate, as that responsibility falls to the Speaker.
Speaker-Elect Rice returned the meeting to Speaker Stallone.
