Motion 19-12: Mr. Nellams moved that the Board of Trustees of Central Washington University hereby approves the Auxiliary Services Housing and Dining maximum rate increase, not to exceed 5 percent in the aggregate, for fiscal year 2020. Mr. Conner seconded the motion. The motion was approved. Action – Approval of Faculty Code Amendment The Faculty Senate asks for approval of three changes to the Faculty Code which were approved at the May 30, 2018, November 28, 2019, and January 9, 2019 Senate meetings. The changes are described in more detail in the Faculty Senate Report, and brief explanations are provided here. 1.) Recommends amending Section I: This change makes clear that reorganization is an area that requires faculty consultation. 2.) Recommends amending Section III: This change adds a new distinguished faculty award to the Code. The proposed new award, the Board of Trustees Distinguished Faculty Award, will recognize faculty members with long-term records of excellence in teaching, scholarship, or artistic activities. The revision also addresses several issues that surface every year as faculty complete the award selection process. Award-selection committee members and responses to a Faculty Senate survey have consistently articulated areas of concern in the process, including insufficient opportunities for non- tenure track faculty to participate in the process; anonymity of selection committee; and difficulty populating the committee because of required composition. The proposed Code changes address those issues to make the award process more transparent and efficient. In addition, the revision makes clear that some of the monetary award for Distinguished Faculty derives from the CWU Foundation. The President’s Budget Advisory Committee, Cabinet and President supported the draft request.
