ANNOUNCEMENTS
Provost Gempesaw:
Provost Gempesaw introduced Jerome Conley, Interim Dean, University Libraries, who replaces
Judith Sessions who recently retired after serving as Dean and University Librarian for twenty-five years.
Interim Dean Conley:
Interim Dean Conley thanked Provost Gempesaw for the invitation to attend Senate and
expressed his gratitude for the reception that has always been extended to him by members of Senate
and the Associated Student Government. Expressing that it is an honor to serve in this capacity, Interim
Dean Conley stated that he will meet with John Stefanski (President, Associated Student Government)
and with Reza Akhtar, Chair, Library Committee (advisory committee of University Senate); and that he
intends to lead with transparency, empowerment, and partnerships.
Interim Dean Conley noted two challenges that the future of the educational system and the
sharing of data must address:
 The cover of the November 2012, Forbes Magazine stated “The $1 trillion opportunity. No
field operates more inefficiently than education. A new breed of disruptors is finally going
to fix it. Here’s how to join them.”
 Up until 2003, humanity used approximately 5-billion gigabytes of data; currently, humanity
uses that same amount of data ever two days; and by 2014 the timeframe will be reduced to
every ten minutes for the same amount of data. The staff of the University libraries must
lead in this climate of available information and strike a balance between persons who
believe that America’s educational system is inefficient and those who believe that there is
just too much data being circulated.

at the same time (19,067 applications), this number exceeds the total number of applications received
for the fall 2012 semester (20,314). Provost Gempesaw congratulated the accomplishments of the staff
in enrollment management and encouraged members of Senate and the University community to help
the University reach its target goal of 3,600 matriculated students for fall 2013 semester by participating
in a Make It Miami day beginning April 22.

SPECIAL REPORTS
8.a.
New Academic Calendar and Winter Term Planning Update – Michael Kabbaz,
Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management, and Dave Sauter, University
Registrar.
Professor Kiper:
Professor Kiper introduced Michael Kabbaz, Associate Vice President for Enrollment
Management, and Dave Sauter, University Registrar, who presented a PowerPoint presentation
updating Senate on the new academic calendar and winter term (Attachment C) and the 2013-2014
Academic Calendar (Attachment D).
Concerns expressed included:
 Will adequate classroom space be available to accommodate the revisions to the class
schedule?
 Changes to course content and pedagogy of coursework should not be driven by revisions
to the class schedules.
 The lack of behavioral measurements in the surveys relative to proposed academic calendar
revisions.
 Support services must make early decisions regarding the upcoming academic year
(e.g., hiring in residence life) but is difficult to do with many questions unanswered. Budgets
cannot be determined until enrollment numbers are confirmed.
 How will the winter term impact the holiday schedule, specifically 2013-2014, for
unclassified and classified staff?
 Study abroad programs require advanced planning (e.g., reservations and travel plans).
What model should be used in making plans for next year? Until the scale and size of
programs are determined a current model may be applied.
 Study abroad programs are challenged in meeting a budget. If the winter term focuses on
study abroad programs, then most students are financially prohibited from enrolling in the
programs unless financial assistance is available. The University must address the
Page 4 of 47
Page 4 of 30
differential between subsidies for domestic programs and subsidies for international
programs.
8.b.

Significant change to an existing course:
MKT 325 – Consumer Behavior (3)
Change in credit hours from 4 to 3
Rationale: This change will provide greater flexibility in the marketing curriculum for students to take
additional specialized marketing elective classes that are now being offered in the department; facilitate
with students registering for and completing required marketing classes; accommodate material to the
new University calendar and time block system, facilitate the transfer of classes from and to other
institutions, and provide more flexibility in teaching load and schedules in the department.

Change in title , learning outcomes, and course content to build upon existing Miami Plan principles.
WST 110 – Contemporary Topics (2)
Change in credit hours from 2 to 1 and title change
Revisions to an existing Major:
COM- Mass Communication
Change major name to Media and Culture
Rationale: "Mass Communication" is no longer descriptive of a media landscape where new media
technologies and industry strategies are dramatically altering our object of study and our research
methods. Thus, the faculty felt it was important to find a more inclusive term that references the content,
history and effects of media in its contemporary formations. The faculty’s preferred choice was “Media
Studies,” a term used by a number of Miami peer and aspirational schools for their media major.
Unfortunately, that name raised concern from faculty in the Interactive Media Studies Program who
feared it was too similar to their title. Revisiting the issue, we have selected an alternative: “Media and
Culture.” This term identifies that the study of media within cultural contexts is at the heart of the major
and reflects a variation on a name other institutions use (i.e., NYU’s Media, Culture, and Communication).
GEO – Urban and Regional Planning (BA)
Rationale: Meet College of Arts & Science writing requirement by adding a Capstone requirement.
Page 38 of 47
Agenda Item 5.a.
POL – Political Science
Rationale: Change to the major are due to the incorporation of the new CAS Writing Competency
Requirement.

All-University Faculty Committee for Evaluation of Administrators
RE:
Proposed Revisions to the Miami University Policy and Information Manual,
Section 12.5, All-University Faculty Committee for Evaluation of Administrators
The following proposed revisions to the Miami University Policy and Information Manual,
Section 12.5, All-University Faculty Committee for Evaluation of Administrators, have been reviewed and
endorsed by the Committee and by the Council of Academic Deans.
Corresponding changes will be made to the Enabling Act of University Senate and Faculty Assembly,
Article Five, Section 3.
Rationale:
12.5.A Membership
a) Committee Composition. The Committee will consist of eight seven members of Faculty
Assembly. With the approval of the Board of Trustees resolution R2012-29, a resolution to
establish an academic division on the regional campuses, it is proposed that the regional
campuses be represented by one faculty member rather than one each from the Hamilton
and Middletown campuses, thereby bringing this academic division in line with other
academic divisions and the libraries that each have one representative on the Committee.
b) Term of Committee Members
Each member will serve a nonrenewable three-year term beginning January July 1.
i) To be consistent with other University committees that typically turn over
membership on July 1;
ii) Required for continuity with approval of the change as proposed in 12.5.B below.
Allows for same Committee to develop the evaluation instrument, summarize the
data, and write reports for all reviews conducted during the academic year.
12.5.B Schedule
It is proposed that administrators in year three of their five-year administrative appointment be
reviewed in the spring to provide an additional semester of data on which to provide input to
the administrator regarding their professional development and to record part of the evidence
upon which future personnel decisions may be based.
Be it hereby resolved that University Senate endorses revisions to the Enabling Act of
University Senate and Faculty Assembly, Article Five, Section 3, that correspond to revisions in
the Miami University Policy and Information Manual, Section 12.5, All-University Faculty
Committee for Evaluation of Administrators as set forth below:
12.5 All-University Faculty Committee for Evaluation of Administrators
12.5.A Membership
An All-University Faculty Committee for Evaluation of Administrators will review the Provost, all
academic deans, the Dean of the Regional Campuses, and the University Director of Liberal Education in
years three (3) and five (5) of their five-year administrative appointments. Committee reports are intended
Page 44 of 47
Agenda Item 8.b.
to serve two functions: a) to guide the professional development of the individuals, and b) to record part
of the evidence upon which future personnel decisions may be based.
The All-University Committee for Evaluation of Administrators will consist of eight (8)seven members of
Faculty Assembly, one to be chosen by each academic division for a total of five (5)six (6), and one (1) to
be chosen by the library faculty, and one (1) to be chosen by each of the regional campuses. The members
of the Committee will be elected by the faculty with election procedures to be set by the University
Senate. The Committee shall elect one of its members to serve as chair. Members of the Committee who
are on probationary status (i.e., nontenured or who do not hold continuing contract status) are not eligible
to serve as chair of the Committee. In accordance with a University Senate motion of November 5, 1990,
the library faculty as well as the faculty of the regional campuses shall not be eligible as nominees or
electors in the election of divisional representatives. Each member will serve a nonrenewable three-year
term beginning January July 1. The terms will be staggered so that one-third of the Committee is elected
each year. In the event of the resignation of a member of the Committee before the end of his or her term,
that seat shall be filled by the candidate (who had not been previously elected) who received the largest
number of votes when the ballots are retabulated after votes for the person who has resigned have been
deleted. In the event no such candidate is available, a new election will be held for the vacated seat.
12.5.B Schedule
Each spring fall semester, the Committee shall prepare a questionnaire for the evaluation of each
administrator it is scheduled to evaluate during the next academic year. Administrators in year five (5) of
their five-year administrative appointment will be evaluated in the fall of the evaluation year.
Administrators in year three (3) of their five-year administrative appointment will be evaluated in the
spring of the evaluation year. Early in the fall of the evaluation year, theThe Committee shall distribute
the questionnaire to members of Faculty Assembly assigned to or served by the administrator’s unit and it
shall prepare an evaluation report to be submitted to the administrator’s supervisor.
12.5.C Evaluation Questionnaires
The Committee shall develop a common core of questions appropriate for each class of administrators it
is responsible for reviewing. For example, it shall develop a common core of questions for all deans of
academic divisions. When developing these questions, the Committee shall consult with the class of
administrators to be reviewed and with their supervisor. All questionnaires shall be accompanied by a
one- to two-page statement from the administrator being evaluated that addresses the following questions:
1. What are your duties?
2. What have been your most significant accomplishments since occupying this position or since last
you were evaluated in your current position?
3. What are your primary goals for the duration of your appointment?
All questionnaires shall begin with a question that asks respondents whether they feel that they have
sufficient information to evaluate the administrator; respondents who reply that they do not shall be asked
to return the questionnaire with only that question completed. All questionnaires shall ask respondents
who complete more than the first question to indicate the extent of their knowledge of the administrator’s
responsibilities and performance.
When preparing to evaluate a particular administrator, the Committee shall adapt the common core of
questions to reflect this person’s responsibilities and any special and unique aspects of the administrator’s
position or circumstances. In this process, the Committee shall consult with the administrator to be
reviewed and the administrator’s supervisor. The final decision on the composition of the questionnaire
rests with the Committee.
12.5.D Committee Reports
The CommitteeCommittee’s final evaluation reports shall submit its final evaluation report on each
administrator be submitted by December 1 for administrators evaluated in year five (5) and by April 1 for
administrators evaluated in year three (3). Before then, the Committee shall submit a draft of the report to
the administrator’s supervisor. The supervisor and the Committee (or a representative) shall meet to
discuss the draft report and make any modifications deemed appropriate by the Committee. If the
Committee and the supervisor disagree on the final report, the supervisor may attach a letter to the
Committee report explaining the disagreement. This letter becomes part of the final report.
Page 45 of 47
Agenda Item 8.b.
In year three (3) of an administrator's appointment, the Committee’s final report shall be promptly shared
by the supervisor with the administrator being evaluated, and a summary of the Committee’s final report
shall be prepared jointly by the supervising administrator and the Committee. If the administrator is
continuing in his or her position for at least one (1) more year, this summary shall be submitted to the
faculty within the unit. If the supervising administrator and the Committee cannot agree on the summary,
they shall prepare separate summaries that shall be distributed together to the faculty within the unit.
In year five (5) of an administrator's appointment, the All-University Faculty Committee shall cooperate
with the evaluation committee established in “Appointment, Evaluation, and Reappointment of Academic
Deans” or “Evaluation and Reappointment of the Provost” of this manual. A summary of the final reports
by the Faculty Committee and the committee established in “Appointment, Evaluation, and
Reappointment of Academic Deans” or “Evaluation and Reappointment of the Provost” of this manual
shall be prepared jointly by the supervising administrator and the combined evaluation committees. This
summary shall be submitted to the faculty within the unit if the administrator is reappointed for another
five-year term. If the supervising administrator, the Faculty Committee, and the committee established in
“Appointment, Evaluation, and Reappointment of Academic Deans” or “Evaluation and Reappointment
of the Provost” of this manual cannot agree on the summary, they shall prepare separate summaries which
shall be distributed together to the faculty within the unit.
The Faculty Committee's final reports and the summaries of these reports that are prepared jointly by the
Committee and the supervising administrator shall include the following information:
1. the number of surveys sent, response rate, the number of people indicating insufficient information
to evaluate the administrator
2. the mean and distribution of responses, if numerical data are reported
3. a brief, balanced overview of the overall response to each question or set of questions, not quotations
of the respondents’ actual words
4. when the Committee feels it is appropriate, separate analyses of responses from individuals who
indicated that they have a more extensive knowledge of the administrator’s responsibilities and
performance and of responses from individuals who indicate that they have a less extensive
knowledge of the administrator’s responsibilities and performance
In addition, the Faculty Committee's fifth-year final report and the summary of that report shall include
the Faculty Committee’s recommendation concerning whether the administrator should be reappointed
for another five-year term. If an administrator is reappointed despite the Faculty Committee’s
recommendation against reappointment, the Committee may call for a vote of no confidence from the
appropriate faculty. In the case of the Provost, the Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate School,
the Dean and University Librarian, and the Director of the Liberal Education Program, the appropriate
faculty unit for a vote of no confidence will be Faculty Assembly.
The supervisor and the administrator being evaluated shall have access to all of the faculty responses,
including survey results and transcribed copies of comments. The Committee shall retain the
questionnaires returned by faculty for a period of three (3) years from the date of the final evaluation
report.
12.5.E Election Procedures for the All-University Committee for Evaluation of
Administrators
A total of five (5) nominees for each position will be chosen by the single transferable vote method from
a complete list of all the eligible voters in each unit. Within no less than two weeks after the ballots for
nominees have been returned, a second ballot naming the nominees will be distributed to the voters in
their respective units and again counted by the single transferable vote method. For mid-term
resignation/vacancies, see Section 12.5.A. Units may adopt alternative procedures with the approval of
University Senate.
