SUMMER TERM, Duane Andrews reporting:
Director
Andrews reported that 1985 Summer Term was up
from 4052 students in 1984 to 4175 students in
1985; a 3% increase.
He speculated that the new
admission standards and some new, special
programs may have attracted additional students.
An analysis of enrollment yielded the following
student breakdown:
1791 from Oregon; 1997 out-of-state; 387
foreign students; 1865 women; 2310 men; 1725
graduate; 2140 undergraduate; 310 not admitted.
70% of the Summer Term students were regularly
matriculated students.
There were 349 faculty on
Summer Term payroll; 321 resident faculty; 28
visiting faculty.
In response to a question about the number of
high school students who may have enrolled in
Summer Term, the following breakdown of actual
enrollment was given:
Freshmen, 193; Sophomores, 270; Juniors, 525;
Seniors, 1160, and Graduate students, 1911.
The average 9% salary increase for 1985-86
jeopardizes the financing of Summer Term, Andrews

Faulkenberl
reported that Vice Chancellor Larry Pierce had
met with IFS at its recent meeting at on, and

Chrm., reporting:
Chrm. Hisaw reported com
recommendations made in response to a Memo
October 9, 1985 from Vice Chancellor Lemman
a subject of "flexible Benefits for OSSHE S
Central questions were:
1. Do we wish to have a flexible ben '
program for OSSHE faculty and staff (SEBB 0
2. When should the program be made avai
3. How should the benefits be financed?
The FEWC's recommendations were based upon
survey of the Faculty which the FEWC conducted last
Spring term. They were discussed informall
with
the Senate. The following general comments ill

should proceed cautiously in this matter.
REPORTS fROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE:
faculty Senate Elections:
Cameron and Dole
explained the Senate elections process and
schedule for the elections to take place.
In regard to Grievance procedures, Faulkenberry
noted that there is an awareness of the need to
deal with the kind of grievance matters contained in Senate Bill 542 that the Governor
vetoed. Pierce suggested that IFS and AAUP
generate, in cooperation with the individual campuses, grievance procedures to cope with the
issues that persist before the next Legislative
session in which the job might be done for us,
Faulkenberry asserted.
Vice Chancellor Pierce also discussed the matter
of the role and mission of PSU, and added that
each institution in the System would have to mave
a Mission statement drafted by someone; he urged
OSU to do it rather than depend upon someone in
the State System to do it for us.
Program Improvement was mentioned, Faulkenberry
reported, and the goal of having a more favorable
teacher-student ratio in freshman classes was a
central objective.
Although the "Semester System" idea has apparent-~
ly been dropped by the Chancellor, an earlier
starting date in September has been proposed and
is receiving some consideration, Faulkenberry
noted.
e
The next IFS meeting will be in January at WOSC,
at which time special attention will be given to
the topic of grievance procedures and to collecting information on part-time faculty,
Faulkenberry. concluded.
