Report of the
Presiding Officer:
The first thing I’d like to do is welcome
our new Secretary of the Faculty and Senate, Jacqui Petersen. Jacqui, would you stand up and say
“Hello”? I know Jacqui has some large
shoes to fill, but she came highly recommended, and we know she’s going to do a
great job. Because Jacqui is new and
knows only a few faculty, please identify yourself when you speak. Of course, that would help me, too.
Second, I want to thank Chancellor Wartell for providing snacks today. I hope you have good feelings about me, too:
I asked for them. And I just want to go
on record as saying, “I don’t think we’ve ever had as sumptuous a snack at the
beginning of the Senate here as we have today, including the gourmet coffee.”
Third, I was reminded at the end of the
last Senate meeting that, when you address an issue in the Senate, you are
supposed to address the Chair. I take
all the flack, one way or the other.
When you stand to speak, talk to me.
Of course we could not get through the day
without a sermon from me, so ... with apologies to a well-known author. (R. Sedlmeyer gave
a PowerPoint presentation of the following:)
The Body is a Unit: The body is a unit though it is made up
of many parts. And though all of its
parts are many, they form one body. So
it is with IPFW. For we were all hired
into one university, whether faculty or administration, tenured or untenured,
and we were all given the one mission to fulfill. The administration cannot say to the
faculty: “I don’t need you.” Faculty cannot say to the staff: “I don’t need you.” But the idea of university has combined the
members of IPFW so that there should be no divisions in the campus, but that
its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with
it, and if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
R. Sedlmeyer: I have a little example of that that occurred
last week. This is me dribbling down the
floor. Old guys are players, too. I love to play basketball and, for about 25
years, a group of us has met every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to play
basketball. I went last Friday and, when
I went into the gym, the dance team was in there. And the bleachers on each side were there. But there had been no prior
announcement. And so there I was, an old
guy with some graduate and undergraduate students with me. We were male; we were female; we were not
happy. So we went out and we eventually
got the facilities manager in there. He apologized that the announcement was
not out, but we couldn’t play; not only that, but it could happen in the
future. You have to be careful because
now that we are Division 1, we need all these practices, blah blah blah, and you may never play
again. I said, “Well, I did want to get
one more year in before I turned 50.” So
I contacted our athletic director, Mark Pope.
And through Mark Pope to facilities manager to Dave Danielson, they all
were concerned that everybody share equally in the facilities of the campus,
and we worked out a wonderful compromise so that we could get in there for
about an hour every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to play basketball. All the sports teams could practice as well,
and other events could be going on. So,
it’s like we were acting as one body in this university, showing concern for
one another. So I just want you to keep
that in mind as we continue our deliberations, large and small, on this campus.
OK, that’s the sermon for today. Let’s move on to business.

7. Question time
(Senate Reference No. 02-9):
The Management Agreement expires July 1,
2003. Are changes to the Management
Agreement currently being considered by anyone in the IPFW administration or
the Boards of Trustees of Indiana University or Purdue University? What are they? What is the process for submitting proposed
changes to the Management Agreement?
When will the faculty be given a draft copy of any proposed changes?
M. Wartell: As
with the case with the last management agreement the Purdue University Board of
Trustees and the Indiana University Board of Trustees expressed satisfaction
with the current management agreement, and intend to continue it
unchanged. As a result, the Indiana
University Board of Trustees passed a motion to that effect at the meeting
previous to the one they have on campus, and it will go before the Purdue board
in November. So there were no changes.
R.
Sedlmeyer: Would you like to address the other part
of the question?
M. Wartell:
Which is the other part of the question?
R. Sedlmeyer:
“What is the process for submitting proposed changes to the Management
Agreement?”
M. Wartell: For
the next one, five years from now? The
process would simply be to submit them to the administration – to my office
would be fine. I will be glad to pass
those forward. Proposed changes could
also come through the Fort Wayne Senate.
R.
Sedlmeyer: Thank you.
J. Brennan: I just wanted to know, Mr.
President, if the Management Agreement is on the web anywhere?
J. Dahl: The existing Management Agreement
is on the web site. It is accessible
from the Senate web page. The one which
is going to be considered by the Purdue University Trustees is not, to my
knowledge, available anywhere publicly.
8. New business:

Resolved, That the Senate asks the University Resources Policy Committee to
