Senate Survey Responses Overview Fall 2019 Adrienne Wilson, Secretary, University Senate Qualtrics Survey created by Greg Schmidt, Chair-Elect
PARTICIPANTS 17 SENATORS 58 INDIVIDUAL FACULTY MEMBERS TOTAL=75
SALARIES/FAR/SET Salaries: continue to be below market value; inconsistency in promotion pay; compression/inversion; unhappiness with proposed new percentages for promotion raises FAR: unfairness in salary determination; lack of transparency with no criteria; department politics SET: unfair, especially to women; undermines teaching rigor; inappropriate for determining merit pay; poor response rate (This is being addressed by the Teaching Effectiveness Committee.)
Parental/Family Leave Lack of clarity in leave pay; should match state policy; lack of consistency; more options needed like flexible work options; CLA policy-should be the standard for all; not enough info on FLMA rules There is currently no formal leave policy. This is being addressed by the Faculty Salaries and Welfare Committee.
Gender Equity/Diversity Disparity in equity; subtle/not so subtle discrimination against women; women s invisible labor/service gap; gender pay equity needed Overall lack of diversity, faculty and students Not enough diversity and inclusion training
SERVICE Lack of time is #1 reason for not getting involved No recognition for participation (This is being addressed with discussion on how to encourage buy-in and consistency across campus.) Waste of time Indifference
Other Faculty Issues Concern for treatment of NTT faculty: pay, committee work, recognition for contribution to the university; grant opportunities P&T: confusion and inconsistency in policies Enforcement of Handbook Policies, Retaliation Policy
The Senate Senate: perception ranges from neutral to positive to ineffective; more communication needed; website needs work (Ad hoc committee already addressing this)
The Senate (continued) Less information items and more actual discussion/action Bring more important initiatives to the Senate floor (Senators can help with this!) Betrayal of shared governance if there is no transparency (i.e. Presidential search, communication with Board of Trustees). Executive Committee is working to open lines of communication and transparency.
Last, but not least. PARKING!!!!!
Thanks and appreciation to all who participated! Sincerely, The Senate Executive Committee Comments? Thoughts? Questions?
