& BUDGETS & fISCAL PLANNING COMMIT]EE
j
The first item of business was a Category I proposal from Home Economics (Motion 85-424-1) "POl'
the initiation of a new Instructional Program
Leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Home
Economics.
Area of Concentration:
Food Systems
Management."
The Budgets & Fiscal Planning Committee
Chairman, Solon Stone, reported that his
Committee had reviewed the proposed costs and
agreed that the program would cost the amount
jndicated.
The B&FPC did not, he noted, explore
whether or not the College of Home Economics
could finance its own program.
(The program's
projected costs were $26,770, which is being
requested to finance the program.)
The motion to adopt the proposal (85-424-1)
was ADOPTED by voice vote.
s,
,
The second recommendation (Motion 85-424-2) was
to approve an "Off-Campus Ed .M. Degree in Adult
Education (in Klamath Falls, Oregon at OIT), in
cooperation with the Oregon Institute of
Technology."
It was noted that a letter from Southern
Oregon State College supports the program, and
that there is no conflict with its programs.
Library support was a little less clear. No
"hard documents" were in hand to support fully the
needed library support from the off-campus sites,
but "verbal" evidence indicated the adequacy.
After some discussion, the proposal was APPROVED
by voice vote.

fACULTY STATUS COMMITTEE Report:
A report of the
Faculty Status Committee was presented that
concluded with the following three
recommendations:
RESOLVED, That:
1. The "60-20-20" guideline be abandoned in
favor of staffing goals that reduce the necessity
of hiring professorial-level
teaching faculty on
fixed-term.
2. Beginning in academic year 1987-88, all new
OSU teaching appointments within the professorial

ranks that represent at least O.5FTE on instructional funds from the Educational and General
Fund Budget, except for those that are clearly of
a temporary nature, be tenure-track.
3. The Senate, in consultation with President
Byrne, promptly appoint a Task Force to provide
specific proposals for the implementation of
these guidelines.
In framing recommendations,
special consideration should be given to members
of the faculty who are currently on fixed-term so
that new policies will not, if possible, affect
them adversely.
Correction to Minutes for Meeting 423; November
~'
7, 1985: Vice President Wilkins has asked that a
correction to the listing for "Academic Council
on OSU's Campus" to be made. Because of a similarity in membership, there is confusion about
which group is actually the Academic Council.
The correct information is as follows:
The
OSU Academic Council meets approximately once a
month and consists of:
Each of the 12 academic Deans of the
colleges and schools;
Dean of the Graduate School;
Director of Libraries;
Senior ROTC Officer;
Vice President for Academic Affairs &
Provost
A second group, not officially titled, which
meets weekly with the President and Vice
Presidents consists of:
Director of Information Dept;
Director of Affirmative Action;
Legal Affairs Assistant to President;
Director of Athletics;
Curriculum Coordinator
The Executive Committee introduced to the Senate
the following motion (85-424-5) to dispose of the
Faculty Status Committee report:
"The Executive Committee moves that:
1. The report of the Faculty Status Committee
on the subject of 'Policy on Fixed-Term Appointments at Oregon State University' be referred to
a Task Force, appointed jointly by the Executive
Committee and the Vice President for Academic
Affairs & Provost, to consider the matter of appointments, especially Fixed-Term.
2. The (FSC) report be for the information of
the Task Force, to be used as it sees fit in its
study of and report on the subject.
3. The Task Force report its recommendation to
the Faculty Senate and to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs & Provost."
In response to an inquiry, President Cameron
explained that a principle reason the Executive
Committee decided to bring the above Motion to
the Senate was that the first two items of the
FSC report were areas of inquiry that the EC
thought should more appropriately go to the Task
Force that was mentioned in Item 3.
He noted, also, that there was a desire among
faculty to appoint a Task Force and that the Executive Committee thought two Task Force's were
not needed and that it would be more beneficial
to work together on appointing one Task Force to
do the job.
Sen. W.C. Johnson, SCi, spoke against the EC
motion.
He suggested that the Senate should not
again avoid the central questions contained in
Items 1. and 2. of the Faculty Status Committee
report, but should vote on them immediately.
A motion (85-424-6) to amend by deleting the
words "fixed-term" from the motion was defeated.
A motion (85-424-7) to amend by inserting in
line five (5) of Item 1. between "of" and "Fixed"
the words "appointments, especially" so that it
would read: •••"to consider the matter of
appointments, especiala; Fixed-Term Appointments,"
was seconded and ADOpT
.
.
Motion 85-424-5 was ADOPTED AS AMENDED.
The Executive Committee introduced a motion
(85-424-8) to suspend the Standing Rules of the
Administrative Appointments Committee until July
1, 1986 to allow appointment of six Ad Hoc members for that period of time.
This action was needed because there are
currently three existing Search Committees,
each of which has three of the nine regular members of the Administrative Appointments Committee
on it, which has exhausted the membership of the
AAC. At least one additional Search Committee,
for the Dean of the College of Science, will be
formed soon. Additional members of the Committee
were needed for this search committee, plus
holding three additional members in reserve for
any additional search committee that might be
needed prior to July 1.
Motion 85-424-8 was ADOPTED by voice
